the only way to face your self
is to face your problems with your self
most people in our time
seem to think
ignoring their problem with their self
will make the problem go away
which gives the problem great power over our self
facing our problem
is the gateway to our self
problems are just our attempts to control life
which ain't really an option
and we thinker people
with all these grand ideas
are trying to play god with life
which ain't all that great an idea
life is forever free
and beyond our control
such thinking is delusional
and a barrier to awareness of life

steps
in our little world
eight steps up
also means
eight steps down
life is about balance
not sure if that is the correct word
but it's all i got right now
life can be deceptive
if you think about it too much
there ain't no it
we humans made that up
to separate our selves from others
i tried that too
it wasn't all that much fun

splash
if you don't want
to make a splash
hit the dirt
close to the edge of the pond
but be advised
that might make a bigger splash
than landing in the middle
these are strange times
and few are sure
just what is going on here

ambitions
seeking to gratify
our personal ambitions
is probably the most dangerous game
people play
for one thing
life ain't a game
and play is a childhood game
games can be ok sometimes
but not much of a life choice
life is not about winning or losing
life is about you play the game
my father figure told me that
a long time ago
he was a pretty sharp guy
and a good man
and i liked him
he also knew i was a person
in my on right
and not his to mold and shape
as i grew older i realized
how rare that was
in our world today

lucky
have been lucky many times
life has often been kind to me
which i often didn't realize at the time

courage
a fools errand
a product of someones propaganda
sometimes their own propaganda
willingness
that takes balls
and more than a little heart
that goes for girls too
they wear their balls inside

fair
fair only exists
when humans play
games with rules
real life goes
round and round
and up and down
all the time
and we petty little humans
don't make the rules
at best we just keep up

the family of man
the family of man
is in serious conflict
with its self
we have a serious problem
with our self
a cure does exist
our biggest problem
is our fear and arrogance
and the magnitude of our greed
which leads to focus
on what we want
instead of what we need

how it once was
and Oron spoke to his son Jacob about how it once was
about how the land once supported mankind and the creatures
of the field
in the beginning the cycles of manifestation were the greatest
power
the cycles of dispensation regulated all life on this plane
the fruits of nature came and went
each learned to work and live within the system
or it died
there was no way to cheat
the forms of life came forth and grew and evolved - and their
natural course of existence
and died in their own time - as all things must
but the force or spirit of life once more cloaked its self in the
material of this plane
to come forth again and again it it's apparently endless
sequence of expressions of its self
each more refined and remarkable than the one before
this is how it once was
as the creative force wove the glorious fabric of life
a living cloak upon the once barren globe
at some point in time - i know not when
the idea arose in man that he could or should take charge of his life
to make things better for himself
that he need not accept the cycles of dispensation as life provided
and took away
perhaps he thought or desired not to die in his own time
or that his children or mate should not die
this is not known to me
all that is known is that mankind came to rebel against the order of life
perhaps this is the natural next step of man
i do not know
in any case - man made many changes in this world
apparently to improve his situation - that he might not have to
strive and struggle and die
that life might be made easier - and last longer
how and why is lost in the passage of time
all that is known is that man became greedy and selfish and
feared for himself
once man took only what he needed to live and there was
balance in this world
but man then came to take more than he needed
and deprived others of his kind and the creatures of the field
what they needed to live out their allotted span of time
the order of life was disrupted
soon the vast green cloak of the forests began to disappear
slowly at first - but with ever and ever increasing speed
for a time nature could heal the wounds to the body
but as man sought more and more not to die - with his vaccinations
and his cures - the population grew and grew and began to overwhelm
the natural life support system of this plane
more and more the great canopy of the forest disappeared
the creatures of the field - who also make up the fabric of life
on this plane - began to disappear
the atmosphere and climate began to change
the concoctions of man to improve his lot in life began to sterilize
and poison the earth
whole species were destroyed to make man safer and gorge his belly
beyond and reasonable need
the signs of decay and corruption were clear
but man refused or was unable to see the error of his ways
the great crime being perpetuated on the fragile beauty of the earth
and ultimately upon himself
man created new systems to support himself
and as each failed in time - sought to create another and another
each failing more quickly than the last
it is not known if this journey man has taken is right or wrong
perhaps we have failed at our destiny
perhaps not
all that is known to me is that man suffers greatly amid his own creations
has brought this suffering upon himself by not accepting the gift of
life as they are offered
and accepting their loss when they are reclaimed by the order of things
the creatures of the field are born and die in their own time - without complaint
i have seen it so
in our own time - we each make our own contribution to life

what to do
so many
want to be told what to do
so many
are willing to please them
in time to face their wrath
and a great tragedy
is upon the land
when i was much younger
i asked my father what to do
i was lewis jr.
he was the only man i respected
up to that time
his response to me was
i don't know what to tell you boy
you have to work that out with yourself
and i still do
as i can
as we all can
if we can respect ourself
want to be told what to do
so many
are willing to please them
in time to face their wrath
and a great tragedy
is upon the land

what we have in common
and the question to me is
how do i deal with
what we have in common
and what we don't
all at the same time
how do i deal with
what we have in common
and what we don't
all at the same time
song
kind of a funny word
sounds kind of old
maybe asian
somewhere back east
my favorite song would be
a song we could sing together
as we are
with out all the other crap
that is so popular in our time
so many
seeking to control life
so few
willing to be life
