It all comes down to the wire
Unwired and unplugged
Unscrewed undone
Why are we all caught up in the glue
Of the everyday
Power is power
Love is love
What comes above
Is respect and dignity
Unbeknownst to me
How to relearn
Love and noise
Are separated at the inception
I hope we all separate the truth
From deception
Hourglass tell me what time will bring
What joys my heart will sing
What pain will be laid on my heart
How I will be broken
And how I will put it all back apart
Will I be rich
Will I be poor
Will I have to ask for help a little more
Hourglass read me my hours
As I fall asleep
Tell me what will be lost
And what I can keep
What is whole
To me known and unknown
Hourglass fasten my eyes on the future
Hourglass bring me hope a little sooner
I’m thankful for the beans
I’m thankful for the brew
Most of all
I am thankful for the time
Here with you
Sweet of me
Coffee on a Friday night
Slow motion
Next to the Atlantic Ocean
Our bed is a revolving door
Ask me tonight and I will be unsure
Of where I will sleep tomorrow
But tonight I drink you in sweet
In a cafe
Near the Abbott Kinney street
Oh what questionable distractions
Attractive as first glance
Quaint and uneasy
Under examined
The sun
The sky
The moon lit nights
Palm trees
Oh the goodness of distraction
The fruitfulness of sanity
Returned from a distant place
Now and again
My distracted zen
A rainy night in LA
Water sliding down the window pane
The cars echoes like coins in a chamber
Airplanes fill the sky
On a late night in downtown LA
The seeds of truth
Lie amongst the fields of lies
Not that we can not discover
But we must earnestly try
While a towering bell lingers
Subtle in the distance
Keeping time on us watching for
Ever instance
In sweet imperfect harmony
With the world that toils around
What we have lost
We have yet to be found
But in time truth will grow
To tower well above the rotten fields
To bring life again to the weaklings
My hope lies in such trees that grow
Along the roads we travel
The roads we have forged
Trees will rise up
Giving us protection from the lies
Hope gives me hope
Energy gives me clarity
So I hope I can be clear
In hope and in energy
From coast to coast
We raise a risky toast
To love and opportunity
Peace through resistance
Growth through Unity
These times will be marked with
Fraudulent politicians
While plumbers and musicians
Unite on the streets
Of New York City
To say that we won’t back down
Lay down
Or roll over
Not until the fascism is over
Nor the rains have passed
We will stand together at last
United in diversity
United stronger through this diversity
For arrogance knows now mercy
And neither do we
Here we are in Washington D.C.
Watching the change of the guards
On guard
It is going to be a day
Not to be remembered
But just another day
Unfortunately not a great day
Just a below average day
