Through The World

Through the world and new

I thought we had it

Me and you

With grace and glory

Unknown to us

We had run a race

And just went bust

We give no ease

No sleep down

But tonight

We are living on top

Of the town

Twelve Days of Silence

What moves us

To action

What brings us to our knees

Of in action

Whose words do we believe

When the mountains

Block the path to the seas

When the desert winds

Keep us from our kin

In the silence we must learn

As the silence continues

We continue

To grow

Wise

Not old

 

Unconstitutional Emoluments

Take the pay

Leave the people

Who is taking the stubs

When the president wins

Paid in advance

With taxes due

Who would have knew

What one man can do

With unfettered desires

To light a blazing fire

While a waining night fades

The ultimate game has been

Played

Goals and Intimidation

Goals set up

What can either be achieved

Or grieved

Held on to and flourish

Or fallen to the side

And malnourished

Objectivity

Subject to change

Some day’s life goals

Seem strange

Tend and sift

So in time dreams grow

Hoping they take us all

Where we want to go

Tuesday’s Unfortunate News

How you bring me

Such unbearable news

How the world weaves

Confusion

Motion pictures

In my head

The news of the week

I can’t take

One more dead

Illusions

Dillusions

Collisions

How can we separate 

The fake

A mistake

The real 

From untrue

This unfortunate news

Just wears on me

Higher levels of uncertainty

Everyday now

Holding out

For good news 

Jacque’s Song

VERSE I

Summer parks

Cool pools

Picking up 

And skipping school

Can’t wait until the weekend

Make it out of this place
Getting in trouble 
A bit too soon
But bring me those summer nights
And bright moons
VERSE II

We ran from park to park

Staying light and free

Dodging all the eyes

Looking at you and me

Just hold on 

We are inches from being free
CHORUS
Getting in trouble 
A bit too soon
But bring me those summer nights
And bright full moons
BRIDGE
We make our way

In this life 

Holding hand

Feeling alright

Sand and swings

Let’s make this moment

Everything 
Getting in trouble 
A bit too soon
But bring me those summer nights
And bright full moons
