MOTHER'S HOPE

I'm in the winter of my life;
It is the strangest thing.
Outside I see the seasons passed;
Inside it seems like spring.

I look behind; there's nothing there.
Ahead is much the same.
To find the purpose in between
Now seems to be a game.

When I was young I did not think
Things would turn out this way.
Of age I did not think at all;
Forever young I'd stay.

Now balanced on the edge like this
Is not for faint of heart.
The end is near so I know that
Today I could depart.

I have a choice; I carry on.
It is a common fight.
I only hope that God is there
To take me from the 'night'.

PEACE POPPIES

Make no mistake; do not believe
For soldiers dead I do not grieve.
But then I'm sad humanity
Does not yet have the 'eyes' to 'see'
The reason why we all can kill
By proxy, is we have no will
To find the way to get along
Because we must give up our 'song'.

No God, don't try to change my life!
It matters not it causes strife.
It is a life I will defend
But with the life of my dear friend,
My brother, sister, father, son.
I will remember everyone.
Two minutes I will gladly give
To those who die that I may live.

It seems to me it's just not right
That over our beliefs we fight.
I wish we all would volunteer
To give up theories we hold dear.
The place they were we'd fill with peace.
Remembrance Days would also cease.
A world however, without hate
Would still have cause to celebrate.

We could rejoice in lives not lost;
In living life without that cost.
We could remember when we found
Togetherness on common ground.
We could recite some poetry
About how pleasant peace can be.
To demonstrate we really care
White poppies on our hearts we'd wear.

ALONE: an anthem for humanity

Don't give me solitude
For I'll be forced to try,
As 'Adam' did for 'Eve',
To answer, "Why am I?"
Please busy me with work.
If none then let me sink.
Give me philosophy
So I don't have to think.
I'll try religions too,
To occupy my mind,
And atheism if
Their gods I cannot find.
When these don't satisfy
I'll also heed the call
To numb my mind with drugs,
And sex and alcohol.
Create more stuff to buy;
I'll shop until I drop.
Speed up the human race;
I never want to stop.
Turn on the facebook page
And then the twitter feed;
To fill the emptiness
There're still not what I need.
I'll search the latest phone,
Computer and TV.
With thoughts life's meaningless,
Alone I cannot be.

KNOWLEDGE and ESSENTIAL FACTS
TOGETHER
NATURE’S NUTRITIONAL IDEAL

TRUTH

Rose seeds become the rose is truth.
It's constant for all living things
That when we hear a song bird's song
It's what that song bird always sings.
Don't search for truth in what we say.
These 'truths' will also end up dust.
The truth that's written in our genes
Can be the only truth we trust.
We must "reach out...", become our 'rose',
Our being less is falsity.
The truth we search for we will find
In realized capacity.
Our searches just don't find our truth.
With each find the collective grows.
As we continue to find truth
Humanity becomes the rose.

CHAOS

Ten years until chaos begins!
That was the news from Tony Blair.
Due to environmental sins
We'll trash our 'home' beyond repair!

I want to speak but he is gone;
And with him everything he said.
Instead there is a pretty one
Who tells us many more are dead.

There was another "Columbine".
Some hundreds more die in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Palestine;
So many more I can't deep track.

Those millions dying we can see
Because there's not enough to eat
Are less than with obesity.
So sad; I need another treat.

Switch to another pretty face
Informing us about our stocks
Though few have access to this place
Where it's well known that money talks.

The government had to get tough
On those who listened to its song
That millions more are not enough.
Why need it tell them they were wrong?

The war on terror is a bust
Another blond distraction states.
With Bush now 'dead' who do we trust;
Who'll be the next the world all hates.

Tony I'd say, "I could go on;
I think you're wrong about the year.
The infotainment's just a con.
The chaos is already here".
