Grim veil
Around the evening news
All-around
The country too
Hope can only hold
Our thoughts together
So long
Before we break
And realize we have our world
Wrong
Grim veil
Around the evening news
All-around
The country too
Hope can only hold
Our thoughts together
So long
Before we break
And realize we have our world
Wrong
Why
We ask
Can people be so
Hardened
To the world
That is full of beauty
A natural garden
On the edges the dampness of weeds
Twirling around
Somehow we discover
What goes up
And what falls down
Need anything
New or old
Bring in the bold
New ideas
People
Now is the time
For change
Wait another day
See what comes around the corner
In a different way
Complicated
Yet easy
When the morning dew settles
Here it is for another day
Goodnight blog
In a new morning
Will bring a new thought tomorrow
I am warning
Set up a new feature of understanding
When all come clamoring
The night will flow
In a moments notice
I want to know
But I don’t want to understand
How the smoke
Falls from the land
Where I grew up
On the southern shore
Michigan heart
Felt never more
So the gamblers gamble
And the steel men work
The street are empty
The money gone
From a crook
Where I grew up
I want to know
But I will never understand
Press on
Late in the night
Press on
Early in the morning
Keep going
When there is no signs of slowing
Press on
Again and again
No more aspirin
To heal all the aches
The heart has had enough
Of what it can take
So find another remedy
Rather than a simple pill
Find something cheaper
With half the bill
Walk
Did we already
Go
Where we want to return
Go back to the moon
With fuel to burn
Here we go back into
Outerspace
The one and only
Extraterrestial race
Red flag Jed
Always had it wrong
Never knew what was up
Or how to just go along
The words always mixed
In a confusing delivery
Jed held his hands tight
And bit his tongue
Cynically
