What We Lose

What we lose

And what we gain

It’s all part of the game

How we take it

What we take away

Who are the refs

And how do we play

How many players

How many shots

Whether we play in the cold

Or play in the hot

How many balls

How many strokes

What types of games

Fit what type of folks

No one decision maker

Gets the sole power to command us all

Destroy us all

What we gain

And what we lose

I guess its up to me and you

Blues Walking Shoes

Tune out the news

Blues walking shoes

Vacate twitter

What happens when we decide

To take growth 

Over whither

Return my life to its original place

Before the trace

Of overbearing promises

Fights and rejections

My God

The insurmountable resurrections

With a flick of a switch it was gone

Life was back

Life was back

Strangers in Their Own Land

Strange feelings amongst the regulars

Uneasy thoughts run through worried minds

Somehow what we once knew

What we now know

Is crossed quickly

As a very fine line

No one human can erase loving heart

Who have created a better hope

For us to believe in

Through thick and thin

No man or woman

Should ever feel a stranger

On their own land

Freedom of Imperfetion

In a free world

Not all is perfect

In times of struggle

Waiting

Resolution

Hating

We are all not without our

Flaws

Broken bones

And wrapped up jaws

I realize my imperfections have weight

Putting on me a certain strain

But better to make progress than to stall

To stand tall

And push through

Imperfections

And all

March with The Light

Don’t be bewildered by words

Harmonies written in thirds

Set your sights on goals to be achieved

Look not for the setting sun

In the east

Fearful souls will not set other free

While being held in silent captivity

If there is hope in the future

Then we must learn from the past

Return not to ancestry for fear

Don’t obey the written rules

When truth must be verified and renewed

March in the light

And hope for the future

To bring about change

Just a little bit sooner
