in ways we have never been before

we start in on children
we start in on children
so early today
to program their minds
when they should learn how to play
a child needs the time
to first know its self
and it hurts to be told
to just get on that shelf
with no time to consider
just what this might be
we rob them so quickly
of their right to see
it seems plain to me
the old way ain't so smart
as we rip up this planet
and tear at its heart
in spite of the terrors
which now fill the land
the stink of pollution
so carefully planned
we still tell them all
that "i know what's best"
but the results that i see
sure don't pass the test
the innocence found
in the eyes pf a child
the master once spoke of
in terms not so mild
"be as the children"
is what he once said
the will to respect them
today seems quite dead
most just play roles
that were forced in their mind
with no thought of nature
now so hard to find
a fresh look at life
is the gift of new birth
if we don't respect it
then what is it worth
greetings my friend
greetings my friend
i've not seen in so long
tho here in my heart
you have never been gone
and i wish to say
in a personal way
just to have known you
does brighten my day
the love that you share
where ever you go
reminds all around you
that love is the show
that brings us together
with its own special gift
and it's the true healer
that mends every rift
i might have forgotten
had i not met you
of all of the blessings
yours is most true
hi jim

hi jim
heros
heros come and héros go
mostly they disrupt the show
for we tend to imitate
this will lead to second rate
each is born with its own plan
this is true of every man
copies only lead to sadness
self-denial leads to madness
to your heart you must be true
even if rewards are few
the plan of life is what is real
we're not here to make some deal
true nature first must be respected
our duty must not be neglected
the truth of life is its own goal
and living truth will heal the soul
mostly they disrupt the show

this will lead to second rate

times of conflict
in times of great conflict
like these that i see
it's hard to make judgement
like just what to be
confusion and chaos
will keep us uptight
that by itself
makes it hard to know right
perhaps if we slow down
and just clear our head
give up the ideas
that make us brain dead
cause when this one says this
and another says that
we settle the issue
with fist and with bat
most think they know something
but i think we don't
we outsmart ourselves
with ideas that won't
fit in with nature
which has it's own plan
which we disregard
because we now can
if we took the time
and gave life a look
it just might not be
as we read in some book
the mind that's not made up
and fused with belief
might find something more
and provide some relief
but if no one will face
that they just might be wrong
we may someday look up
and find our world gone

priceless time
experience each moment fully
it will not return
the price of life is yourself
love is not a marketable commodity
life is complete in and of itself
life is a bargain unless you want something
life is the only noble cause
love is the only noble cause
life and love are the same
life is only real when it's free
love is only real when it's free
life and love are the same
truth is the only noble cause
truth and life and love are the same
freedom is of the heart
truth is of the heart
freedom and truth are the same
joy is of the heart
joy and freedom are the same
peace and joy are of the heart
peace and joy are the same
man is lost in his head
a comment
time
truth
opportunity
action
ability
strive for nothing
function in the world as it is
seek no answers
be truth
be as you are
function in the world as you are
each has his own individual function
none is better or worse than another
do what is your nature to do
be what is your nature to be
allow others the same opportunity
peace is acceptance of what is
respond to opportunities as they present themselves
be a human being
allow the children to find their own way

will power
don't try that if your a pisces
that's a pretty primitive state of mind
pisces is a by life be led situation
not many know what that means anymore

an old poem
SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2017
in times long past
in times long past before we learned
about ideas and got burned
men lived in peace with one another
and knew each to be his brother
but in time we lost our way
how this happened i can't say
maybe this was meant to be
a plan of life to help us see
as i said i know not why
yet these results make my heart cry
it seems that all we learned is hate
and at times it seems too late
can all this change - the mind does wonder
must the guns all roar like thunder
if we continue on this way
night will soon engulf the day
the children all will lose their home
all will grieve and wail and moan
just because we forsake love
and with our armies crushed the dove
there is still time the heart does say
but we must return to the way
all thought of what to be must go
an open heart and mind can know
about ideas and got burned
men lived in peace with one another
and knew each to be his brother
but in time we lost our way
how this happened i can't say
maybe this was meant to be
a plan of life to help us see
as i said i know not why
yet these results make my heart cry
it seems that all we learned is hate
and at times it seems too late
can all this change - the mind does wonder
must the guns all roar like thunder
if we continue on this way
night will soon engulf the day
the children all will lose their home
all will grieve and wail and moan
just because we forsake love
and with our armies crushed the dove
there is still time the heart does say
but we must return to the way
all thought of what to be must go
an open heart and mind can know
