Failure To Whom?
They say we fail;losers extraordinaire. By whose laws? By whose rules? Not yours or mine, that’s for sure. They own the world,they make the rules.They set the bar,and make us lose. They need slaves,and someone to rule. They need trash men,and janitors to clean,their palaces of steel They need to keep us dumb;to beat usContinue reading “Failure To Whom?”
Just Go
Just go! Get away from this place that makes you sick and maybe you’ll find yourself. Travel to where you want to go, it’s there waiting for you. Your life is but a vapor and drifts away, while you slave for another. Just go! Seek God, Seek Spirit, Seek the touch of the Divine, andContinue reading “Just Go”
Bless Everyone
Bless Everyone,especially those who don’t deserve it. Pray for them;bring light into their darkness Love their soul;that little girl or boy who lives inside them. Give them hope;in this fallen land. The good we do,comes back to us through God. It builds a world;that is worth living in for everyone. Bless, and do not curse;inContinue reading “Bless Everyone”

Your Own Thing
Some discover it;some never do. Everyone has it;yes, even you. Born with something;something to do. Sometimes you know it,or work it through. Sometimes you die,or live a lie. If we all do our thing,how great that would be. God will guide us,if we ask Him too. He will give us a place;to do what weContinue reading “Your Own Thing”
The Lake
A Summer Place The Lake;sparkling vastlike a river of crystalthrough a green golden dream. The air is warm,and the breeze is cool.The music plays,and the kids run. The birds;those lovely birdsour friends, singingsweet to the beatof Life. Zoom to the lake,perfectly warm, butcool enough.Dragonflies swoop,where the fish jump. It’s hard to stand;in the wake ofContinue reading “The Lake”
