Listen to our cries

The suffering will not stop

Please come and help us...

With A Heavy Heart

Sadness plagues

With the changing times

Cruelty gives way

To blinding vines


The news too confusing

Cover your eyes

What happened we’re losing

Tears and cries


The people will speak

Times are dower

Billionaires seek

Nothing but power...

Heart

Deep in my chest

The heart beats a steady rhythm

Thumping a tune as a quest

Listen closely for the symptom


Disease is present when it slows

With stress and activity the heart races

Listen quietly there it goes

Taking steps a few more paces...

Con Artist

Con artist

The smartest

Out smarted

Wasn’t hard

Told a lie

Then cried

Lost in tears

Borrowed fears

He felt bad

Then got mad

When the con

Became his one...

Ghosts

Do you see the ghost

Am I or is the ghost hunter

Does the ghost see me...

Captain Jack

Captain Jack

Please come back

It’s dark in here

Scary and fear...

Trust

Trust is not a game

It is not given lightly

It is a true gift...

Checker

Close the window

Open the door

Turn on the light

Don’t do anymore


Check the furnace

Double check the door

Will you stop checking

I’ll check once more


Did you turn off the iron

And unplug the pot

What about the garage door

Did it close or stop


Checking and checking

A constant struggle

Once more to make sure

Hogwarts to muggels...

Died Too Young

Morrison

And Janice

Left too soon


With Kurt

And Cass

Cry to the moon


There was Amy

And Jimmy

Truly soul singers


Then Lennon

Mick Taylor

Their sounds linger


Buddy Holly

And the Bopper

Lost in a crash


Elvis

And Lisa

Together at last


Death come fast

Their names familiar

Songs outlast

None are strangers...

Draft

Weed seed need lead

Flowers towers doubters founders

Beautiful colorful dreadful careful

Wonder sunder plunder hunger...
