I’m late
I’m early
I’m on time
open the gate
I’m out
I’m in
I’m in between
open the door
I’m down
I’m up
I’m upside down
open the window
I’m backwards
I’m forwards
I’m sideways
open the escape
I’m free…

Carnage
again and again
when does it end?
Who are we?
Where are our values?
We went to the Moon
We are going to Mars
but it is dangerous
to go
to school
to work
to church
to Walmart…
We are Americans
we can do better
can’t we?
Look at the Country
we are passing
on to our children;
A dying planet
by our abuse,
violence everywhere
racism
sexism
poverty
homeless defecating
on the streets
children in cages
corruption in government
a failing education system
a middle class that cannot survive
and the list goes on.
We are Americans.
We can do better,
can’t we…
Look
ahead
fall
back
regroup
forge
on
find
the
strength
find
the
will
keep
going
lead
your
way…


A toe
in the
universe
A mind
in the
sky
A heart
in a
far away
land
A spirit
that
flies
glides
hides
A pilgrim
on a
journey
always
seeking
always
listening
always
learning
A toe
A mind
A heart
A spirit
set free…
Freedom
comes

Truth

Health

Wisdom

Answers

from
within~
Mistakes
and
mishaps
foolish
falls
right
the
wrongs
even
if at
a crawl
step
out
close
in
find
the
door
that’s
what
life
is
for…

Revolution
in the raw
Freedoms
never seen
before.
Blueprint
for the
world
EVEN if
not for All…
Marching
towards
EQUALITY
for ALL
once
and for
all…
Please,
isn’t that
what it
all was
for?



Paths taken
Paths forsaken
Paths lead
Paths end
Paths change,
So did I…

Friendship
bright and strong
Friendship
when we belong
laughter and joy
Friendship
lasting and long
Friendship
through the
tough and scary
a soft place
to fall
Friendship
dinner and song,
where I belong.
Thank you
my friends
life is sweeter
because
we belong…
