In the Chair

Don’t blame before you prepare

Don’t cast shadows

In hopes of despair

Why ask for forgiveness

When you have committed the crime

Why accuse others

When you do it all the time

The game is played

Fair and square

Now it’s your turn to sit in the chair

Read My Lips

Read my lips

It never happened

Poetry in motion

While bureaucrats are clappin

Watch my lips

While my hands are in action

Hope it never happened

What happened

What news

Its all so confusing

Shut it off

The world is not quite

So amusing

 

Civility

More fighting

Is it really needed

We are all tired

When we heard the call

And headed

Now more brutality

I thought we were headed

To civility

Goodness dear friends

What happened to us politically

Socially

When is the contest over

And the collaboration begin

When can we have forgiveness

For all of our vulgar sins

Not today I guess

As all hopes of civility

Renewed and put to the test

Known Time to Grow

Knowing when we are growing

Can be the most difficult wager

Speaking with a sage

In a small bar in NYC

Asking for advice

Eating cheap Thai food with rice

What will become of us

What will become of the little ones

How do we differentiate when

We consists of billions

Millions of questions

I guess this is how it goes

When it is your known time

To grow

Out of Whack

How’s about this

How’s about that

I think the chair broke

Where I just sat

Skip

Scat

Two jovial folks

Talked of the world being flat

How can this be

What happened to integrity

What happened to truth and fact

I guess we all might just be

A bit out of whack

We All Get Along

We get along

Make our way along these

Treacherous paths

Sudden spoken wraths

We get along on couches

Beds

Cars

Sheds

Tiny houses

Mansions

Disconnected

Recollected

Connected

Clean

Infected

We shuffle along

Our heads in the clouds

Making our way to the next day

Tripping over our feet

Trying to compete

We make our way

Just one day at at time

Hoping we will all be fine
