blinds

what if safari can't find the blinds

who am i

a pipeliners kid

life with out expectation

expectation is just our cowardly little attempts

to control life

with out

with out darkness

there is no light

everybody pays to play

Terri Sadler

i remember you

what i see

mostly a lot of male female stuff

not much of a man and woman situation

in the present time

with golden hair

with golden hair and eyes of green
such beauty i had never seen
yet from my gaze you quickly ran
i cannot look upon you man

for then i could not play this role
if i don't run you'll touch my soul
and wake me up from this deep sleep
i'll blush at first and then i'll weep

for it's hard to face the truth
that was abandoned in my youth
i fought well but they were many
of friendly faces  -  no not any

now it's safe  -  i do not feel
this final refuge you would steal
and bring me back again to life
take me for your loving wife

but that would bring the longing back
the freedom that my heart did lack
when i was young and tried to fight
the darkness here with my small light

but love died
and now i fear it greatly
to live again  -
i have thought of it lately

god it scares me
love is defenseless
war is so senseless
the violence is so hard to bear

i stood once alone
and for a while shone
they beat that out of me
cant't you see

i'm one of them now
please go away

please don't love me

don't make me remember
that final december
when i broke  -
and the pain went away

now i do what they say
no more price must i pay

i fought them
but finally lost

yes  -  my heart is now dark
you awakened some spark

but  -

damn you

you bastard

you reminded me of
who i once was

but she died

let her be

it hurts to feel


what a place to be

your there  -  how can i not see

that's just not my way

i hear what you say
but death is not what i embrace

you're still so alive
tho you valiantly strive
to repress all that
you meant to be

now you hate what i am
say you can't  -  but you can
i'll not die to make lies
be more easy

it was wrong from the start
you belong to your heart


damn

time and time again

time and time again
we face the dawn and know not when
the end of all this grief and pain
will come and wash the bloody stain

from this world that suffers greatly
and even more from events lately
killing never leads to peace
oh  -  will the violence never cease

peace will only come through kindness
vengeance only leads to blindness
the rage and pain we choose to feel
will never let the old wounds heal

until we learn to respect all others
until we see that all are brothers

everyone claims to be right
everyone claims to know what's right
so few question themselves
so much is wrong

mothers weep

mothers weep
we live like sheep
the hard is all we know

live for pride
the child do hide
and act is all we show

to live the truth
would save our youth
but that is long forgotten

the sands of time
are oh so fine
inside we're slowly rottin'

the gift of life is one for all
the wise man knows it so

yet in our greed and desperate need
it isn't love we show

our wants become our only guide
get it all  -  oh how we tried

yet in the end we all have sinned
from truth we learned to hide

our design code

how i describe our essential nature

that which we are born to be


i was very fortunate as a child

when i was still pretty young

i asked my father

how do you deal with this


his response to me was

i don't know what to tell you boy

your going to have to

work that out for your self


i had a very fortunate childhood


although it wasn't all fun

i wasn't lied to

shadow

never stand

in your own shadow

no more time

no more time to stand around
all those dreams still not quite found
now the truth is clear to me
i've lost enough and now i'm free

the game of life i'll never win
they lied to me  -  but that's their sin
mine was falling for their story
fantastic tales of wealth and glory

many think they know the way
but don't believe in what they say
creation makes us what we are
and each must follow his own star

no matter what the world thinks true
you find the truth inside of you
to lose your self too much in thought
will lead to being what your not

in silent moments here inside
i found the spark that almost died
and regained what i had lost
that precious gift beyond all cost

our essence is what's rightly made
it's truth is through the heart relayed
but we must heed the spirits call
that lives within the heart of all

do not push

do not push on another
he in truth is your brother
there's only one life
that we share

tho we feel so apart
cause we live without heart
and of kindness
we don't seem to care

all this we could change
and the mess rearrange
but the grudges and greed
have to go

the past has been bad
yet more vengeance is sad
and the pain
will continue to grow

the chain  must be broken
our love can't be token
we have to find
some other way

to deal with this life
and end all the strife
or the debt
will become to great to pay

it only will start
if we each do our part
and let go
of the blame and the hate

we must find here inside
some way not to hide
from the truth
before it's too late

for the pain  -  it is growing
the signs are all showing
a breakdown
is not far away

but all talk is cheap
it's the trust we must keep
with our heart
we must face the new day

exploring the great secret

of me and you

schedule

if life gets too scheduled

it ain't no fun to be alife

always

there will always be

those who go forward

and those that get

left behind

time and time again

time and time again
we face the dawn and know not when
the end of all this grief and pain
will come and wash the bloody stain

from this world that suffers greatly
and even more from events lately
killing never leads to peace
oh  -  will the violence never cease

peace will only come through kindness
vengeance only leads to blindness
the rage and pain we choose to feel
will never let the old wounds heal

until we learn to serve all others
until we see that all are brothers

everyone claims to be right
everyone claims to know what's right
so few question themselves
so much is wrong

a guide for the perplexed

a book by e f schumacher


i wish you well

in an age

in and age the soul remembers
sensing still its dying embers
man to truth was honor bound
rarely was deception found

but today our greed does rule us
strange ideas do re tool us
no more is the spirit free
to create life as it should be

the hand of fate is shunned and broken
respect for life no more than token
now the children life in fear
finding little to hold dear

fantastic dreams now fill our heads
strange contortions fill our beds
grace and love so rarely found
with war and violence so renowned

it's said that once the ancients spoke
about the time man would evoke
the beast that would bring on such pain
when tears would fall like endless rain

perhaps now is what they meant
when power's what we represent
but love is lost in such a way
and peace and joy the price we pay

with guns and bombs we blast and kill
we push and shove  -  enforce our will
the seeds we plant will surely grow
yet still it's grief and pain we sow


love will not be found in was
more sorrow  -   that's what we're in for
you don't make friends with pain and fear
we're loving all the heart holds dear

there is still time  -  we're not quite broken
but it takes love much more than token
no more must we live for power
we must sow love for peace to flower

once before man took up dreaming

once  -  before man took up dreaming
lost himself in all this scheming
life was lived within the order
life itself its own recorder

but in time a change took place
somewhere in the human race
from the truth we turned away
deception's now the game we play

the price is high for this digression
our sickness is the heart's confession
still the spirit seeks to free us
from the shrouds that so conceal us

the heart must face the truth of life
and open mind will end the strife
but we must no more fear the truth
for man to regain his lost youth

ideas

ideas do so fill the head
hearing all the words they said
yet each must know the truth within
to live a life that's without sin

on and on we think and worry
guessing  -  grasping  -  endless flurry
ending up just sad and sick
seeking someone weak to kick

life is only live in truth
a gift so cherished in our youth
but then we're taught control and lie
play those roles and slowly die

the truth of life must be set free
an open heart is free to see
what it sees  -  yes without guilt
for guilt will cause the soul to wilt

and sickness grow within our band
more violence sweep across the land
for love and truth and life are one
without these we'll soon be done

a child cries

a child cries
another tree dies
how long will it be till we see

that the world is in pain
and the wails are like rain
the pills must be stronger each day

this cannot be right
such a horrible sight
we each are a cause in some way

let another one change
i will not re-arrange
seems such a cop-out to me

we all must take part
in any new start
if any real change is to be

to think of ourself
beyond everyone else
is wrong an it's so plain to see

we're all selfish inside
yet most try to hide
from the truth  -  which is what sets us free

no  -  we're not all bad
but our minds have been had
and we think someone else is at fault

but each must accept
his own part of the debt
not just armor ourselves like a vault

love your will find
is not in the mind
be open to find your own heart

lost in time

lost in time  -  all never ending

giving freely  -  never lending

grace its self is our true light

shining free and without fright

one must let the heart be open

not turned in  -  its love unspoken

all is all  -  yes this is true

all is one  -  there is no two

i know how things can appear

but love and life are all ways near

what you do

no matter what you  do

to anyone

or anything

you do to your self

life

life is the ocean

an astrology comment

that jupiter in scorpio and uranus in aries

is a pretty big deal

on and on

on and on through life i go
it's and endless wander
still i know that in my heart
i just keep growing fonder

of all the people that i meet
of all the creatures here
more and more i cherish them
forever hold them dear

they seem to be so real inside
tho many no more show it
with outer shell they've learned to hide
but in my heart i know it

all are one  -  as has been spoken
mostly long ago
still i feel i know them all
the bond is still unbroken

Love

life is love

if you know

how to live

much time has passed

much time has passed since i was young
not much has really changed

the game goes on and i'm still here
not changed  -  but re-arranged

my heart still cries  -  i love it so
and spring still brings me joy

yes i'm alive and i don't mind
inside i'm still a boy

much time has passed yet i still play
in this land of terror

no more to hang my head and cry
i don't regret the error

mistakes were made  -  i bless them so
for through them i did learn

if you're going to play the game
you better learn to burn

what part of my self

am i not accepting


perhaps the first question

we should ask our self

she was

she was such a gentle soul
heart and truth the only goal
but hardship on the way she learned
more than once the did get burned

in time she learned to turn her head
avoid the truth and lie instead
for a while it did feel better
no one lives by just the letter

soon the heart began to close
hardness took our gentle rose
all soft and kind was brushed away
no longer would the soul know play

on through life in mindless rush
push and pull and such a fuss
nothing left but guilt and worry
on she rushed in such a hurry

always tired  -  no joy in work
more and more she learned to shirk
duties seem to drag her down
sometimes feeling she might drown

her own center she had lost
spurned away as such a cost
it happened when she first said no
stick the truth  -  i just won't go

life itself's still bright and free
but when from truth we try to flee
we turn our backs on its true way
now we will have the final say

truth and love and life are one
to close our heart blocks out the sun
it's love it seems that most men fear
tho the word is spoken dear

most in time give up the flight
give up darkness for the light
for truth and love are life its self
this is true and endless wealth

if we can give up all our dreams
all our plans and mighty schemes
we'll find our own true destiny
again live life as spirit free


wrote those words a long time ago

still like the sound of them

but not sure if we humans

know how to be free

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 plane to me
the old way's not 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 of 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
i we don't respect it
then what is it worth

there are those

there are those who have not heard
yet the silent sacred word
but the lord of life does live
still unceasingly does give

love in torrents to us all
if we but remove the wall
built around the heart so strong
and sentenced us to so much wrong

this was never meant to be
all were at once sent forth free
give up the fight it has been spoken
and the heart will be unbroken

but each must try in his own way
to face the truth of each new day
and live a life as it should be
with open heart and soul that's free

i went to a party

i went to a party on saturday night
and the sights that i saw gave my heart such a fright

the masks that we wore were so ghastly to see
i stood there in silence  -  how could this all be

the noise was so great and the smiles so untrue
most were afraid and the others just blue

i watched for a while then did go away
but soon i returned  -  still with nothing to say

the din was still growing and the music so loud
soon i was into the mood of the crowd

we're here to forget just how lonely we feel
for a while to pretend it's not such a bad deal

the wine it's a flowing and the smoke is so thick
a sane person by now would lie down and be sick

but not me  -  i'm so tough i can take it all in
as we strut for the girls and pretend we're still men

now it's over at last and i'm home here alone
all the girls turned away  -  no one threw me a bone

in a while i will sleep till the sunrise again
and try to remember just where all i've been

the head full of aches and a sadness inside
to be such a fool and so full of pride

maybe in time i'll grow up and reform
but it's hard in a world where conform is the norm


seems like we always blame someone else
for our situation with our self

these times

more than a little interesting to me


sometimes

once before

once before the trust was broken
when the truth was freely spoken
men were free and knew lifes way
life was not some game to play

now our heads are hollow vases
stupid looks on all our faces
respect for life not to be found
pride in self does so abound

selfish ways will be our doom
for love of life we have no room
truth could yet redeem our lives
yet greed so far is all that thrives

kindness is what most have lost
frustration fules at such a cost
a selfish heart can not see clearly
and love's the gift we need so dearly

a word of caution

a word of caution to my friend
the world will break who do no bend

the flow of life goes on forever
and there is in truth no never

on and on through time we go
as life proceeds with its own show

the perfect way is always clear
but only seen when truth is dear

they say today you're free to choose
take any path  -  you just can't lose

but hear me friend  -  life has its way
it's not some silly game we play

mothers weep

mothers weep
we live like sheep
the herd is all we know

live for pride
the child do hide
an act is all we show

to live the truth
would save our youth
but that is long forgotten

the sands of time
are oh so fine
inside we're slowly rottin'


the gift of life is one for all
the wise man knows it so

yet in our greed and desperate need
it isn't love we show

our wants become our only guide
get it all  -  oh how we tried

yet in the end we all have sinned
from truth we learned to hide

             

gentle words

with gentle words he spoke to me
you think you are  -  but you're not free

your wants and dreams still rule this life
and they're the source of all this strife

the gift of life is love and grace
but in this world they find no place

man today just lives for dollars
none are free  -  for all wear collars

slaves to all the things still wanted
live in shame as pride is flaunted

this great addiction is our plight
its cravings fill each day and night

we suffer from our endless need
destroy a world our final deed

this need not be our lasting fate
there is still time  -  it's not too late

but each must learn we're born to serve
tho few today have found the nerve

to break the chains of greed and fear
and serve/love the life we once held dear

                     ********

i am

i am not here to challenge you

i am here to stand beside you

and walk with you


if you find a challenge in life

you brought it with you

goals

one of the greatest crimes

we humans can commit

on our selves


the modern addiction

our current affliction


some take charge of their life

some keep up with their life

we all have to find our own way

the gift

so rarely recognized

in our time

by so many

of us humans


it seems to me

so few even wonder

any more


life for so many

is not the gift

it once was


humans have become

the main problem

life has on this particular

plane of existence


the creatures of the field

have mostly just survived as they can

as have some humans

we have a problem

we have a serious problem in the world today

we are a serious problem in the world today

as children we are taught how to preform

how to act

now  -  instead of living  -  we are acting

playing roles

in order to sustain the role we must repress our true nature

which means we are repressing life

and living a lie

experiencing ourselves as a lie

lying both to ourselves and others

we are now several generations deep in untrue existence

the parents are playing roles

the teachers are playing roles

the preachers are playing roles

we play roles with each other

with our partners

with the children

with our selves


this role we are playing  -  this lie we are perpetuating
  on ourselves is stifling the

Truth of our Existence

we are creating distance between our truth

we are creating barriers between the role we are playing

(who we believe ourselves to be)

and who we actually are

this leads to great conflict and pressure inside our selves

this pressure is making us sick and mean

this seperation from the truth of our selves  -  what life
  created us to be  -  makes us afraid

the sickness and fear and violence in our world is a
  product of our unnatural existence

and will continue to grow until we give up our
  unnatural existence

we are emotionally constipated  -  constantly frustrated

the conflict between our true nature and the role we are
  playing  -  the lie we are living  -  leaves us no peace

the thought processes we involve ourselves in are constantly
  seeking escape from the pain and fear and conflict and frustration

this leads to our great confusion

we create and endless stream of ideas of what we think
  will make us happy

we live in almost constant torment and need

all the time trying to act like we're not

we are taught to act confident  -  when we're not

we are taught to take control  -  when it was control
  that got us this way

life is not to be controlled

life is to be lived

to be lived and experienced openly and fully

we repress life and expect to be happy

that is insane thinking

the creatures in zoos are not happy

they were meant to be free  -  living their lives and taking
  their chances in a free environment

thinking the we are ok when we're not  (so called positive
  thinking) will only make our situation worse

more lies won't help

it will only lead to more disappointment and frustration

the truth of our existence is the only hope we have


without respect for life within and without our selves

our situation looks pretty bleak to me

but every day is a new day

all the girls i've loved before

an old song

and one of my favorites


first heard it by julio iglesias

later he did it with willie nelson


a great song


if it wasn't for the girls

there would be no reason

to come to this little planet

december 7, 1941

where my father was that day

this world

this world

is nothing like the world

i was born into

over 73 years ago

but it is still

where life is

for me


was born in 1944

some called us war babies


the human race

sure seems to like

that war crap

but i ain't like that


out here in the west

just another stray


never been much

for the herd situation

how close are we

how close are we

to that which we were actually

born to be


lately i have called that situation

our design code


what we were born to be


which has nothing to do

with what others think we should be

or what we think we should be

awareness

awareness is not a product of thought


only a quiet mind can experience peace


conflict and chaos are products of thought


as is this wierd civilization we are involved with

my fathers advice

if your ever in a gunfight with five guys

you better know which one to shoot first


his way of saying  "pay attention boy"


i still remember after all these years

my father was at pearl harbor that day

some people

some people seem to think

some ways are right

and some ways are wrong

what if all ways are right

and the thinkers are wrong

corruption and greed

the curse of so many

for so long

december 7, 1941

my father called that day his anniversary

he was at pearl harbor that morning

on the battleship west virginia

he didn't talk about that morning much

teeth

take care of your teeth

false teeth ain't no fun

but better than no teeth

a long time ago

a long time ago

when i was a lot younger

i asked my father

what's going on here

how do you deal with all this


his response to me was

i don't know what to tell you boy

your going to have to work that out for your self


he was a good man

and never lied to me


i learned to take responsibility for my self

and learn my own lessons

not someone else's

true

the deer and the mountain lion

are being true to their

what i call

design code


modern humans

not so much


ideas rule in our time

and ideas are not real


awareness is not a product of thought

fooling people

it ain't no fun fooling people

when they are so busy

fooling their self

on through life

as on and on thru life i go
bewildered by its mighty show
i feel sometimes  -  when i'm alone
that all the joy once known has flown

and in its place i now find fear
replacing all that once was dear
old and cold i still go on
not content  -  yet heart not gone

for life itself is grand to me
inspite of all the pain i see
and still if i get one more chance
to do some thing that might enhance

this world a little  -  i'll still try
to keep my head up to the sky
and do the work as well i can
to not betray lifes faith in man

pieces of eight

pieces of eight
are nothing but freight
if you don't have
a friend at your side

all the gold in the land
is not worth that small hand
that i held when we took
that first ride

when the journey is done
and the course has been run
with a smile on my face
i'll have died

and the moments we shared
in the time we were paired
were a dream from which
no one would hide

an old joke from my childhood

the first little bird said

my instincts tell me to fly north


the second little bird said

my instincts tell me to fly south


the third little bird said

my end stinks

but it don't tell me nothin'

the ultimate truth

when the truth

has to face the lie

trying

if you know what you are doing

you don't have to try

baby boomers

i grew up in a world of baby boomers

i was a war baby

life is a lot more interesting

when we don't take our self too seriously

capital resources

the ability to buy

other insecure people

and control them


if they submit to people

with extra money


that money stuff

is a control freak thing

in the world we live in

stand up

and be who you are

who

who are you

i don't know


what are you doing here

i don't know


what are you

i already told you

one

the road of life

passes through all


the way of life

passes through all


it appears to me

all that is

is all


we are many

and we are one

the knee

allows the leg to be

more than a thing

as does the foot

ambitions

a very dangerous game to play


often leads to conflict with life


which is what we are

wild

civilizations word for free

love

a state of being

and not something you get from another


although it can be shared


being loved is of limited value

until it is shared


we all grow up in our own time

one man

on man is short
and another one tall
to see them as two
has been our downfall

one spirit is all
my heart has been told
the voice was not soft
it was spoken quite bold

all men are brothers
i know that it's true
tho this is suspected
by only a few

all are yourself
the same essence inside
but to hear it i know
just might hurt your pride

pride's just a shield
and it locks us away
in chains of restraint
that won't let us play

life must be free
to unfold as it should
all our thinking and planning
has led to no good

the spirit of life
is its own plan you see
it can't be improved
and it sets us all free

for love is the gift
that it shares with us all
there's no time like the present
to answer its call

on and on

on and on through life i go
it's an endless wander
still i know that in my heart
i just keep growing fonder

of all the people that i meet
of all the creatures here
more and more i cherish them
forever hold them dear

they seem to be so real inside
tho many no more show it
with outer shell they've learned to hide
but in my heart i know it

all are one  -  as has been spoken
mostly long ago
still i feel i know them all
the bond is still unbroken

a friend of mine

a friend of mine
not long ago
asked if i was crazy

i said no
i don't think so
but i might be lazy

all i want to do is play
and fill some girl with fun

my conscience doesn't bother me
that part is surely done

i like to do the things i like
my heart says it's ok

to have some fun  -  make someone laugh
don't censor what you say

just be your self  -  it's lifes own plan
and you must live it true

don't worry what those others think
that's not the life for you

the past is dead  -  ideas burned
you don't get nothing back

your life is now and you'll know how
there's nothing that you lack


kind of silly but i like it

day of mourning

day of mourning
no more scorning
this i do implore

tell me why we act this way
help me know the score

i have wondered all my life
in this land of free

why we never quite turn out
to be what we would be

still i know here in my heart
as i think of you

here inside we're all the same
no matter what we do

perhaps the truth we do not serve
perhaps we do not know

just what is the truth of life
who really runs the show

ourselves we glory
same old story
with our egos grand

always sure of who we are
and where we make our stand

a word of caution we might heed
in our current state

too much power can mislead
and result in so much hate

please don't bully and impose
your will so upon others

life tells me with every breath
that all who live are brothers

the other side is still yourself
no matter where you go

the truth of life will be revealed
to those who wish to know

and are willing to accept
the truth of what actually is

divided

divided over where we go
what we do and what we show

seems to me  -  now that i'm old
it makes no sense what i've been told

the truth inside must first be found
or life is one big run around

if you don't be just who you are
you'll wind up wishing on some star

and wishing always leads to sorrow
always living for tomorrow

but what about your life today
just dreaming lets it slip away

the here and now is what we are
truth can never be that far

let the whole of now be lived
so nothing has to be re-lived

life on this plane of existence

at this time

life on this plane

is a salvage operation

wanting

wanting indicates a lack

which is a lack of openness

our time

being with ourself

in ways we have never been before

welcome to hard times

where we are

as a species

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

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

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

the most popular men for modern women

those that are the easiest to ignore


except for a few

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

life

life could be a celebration of what we are


but there are those that don't agree with me

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

9

also called nine

the number that clarifies

1131

had something to say about that number

but i forgot

and you pisces girls

you ain't here to receive the gift


you are the gift

pisces

the gift

what if i don't deserve

what if i don't deserve

the gift i have just received


welcome to pisces

a friend called rama

wanting

if the human race would give that crap up

we would all be a lot better off


but it wouldn't be good for business

children

children can't be taught how to  be human beings

they must be allowed to find their own way


ain't much of that going on in our little world

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
