POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write songs without a tune. I'm a story teller. Sometimes I write about the news, sometimes about feelings, sometimes I just write.
The Power of Peace
The world would be such a wonderful place
If we weren't constantly fighting over religion and race
Instead of building bombs, we built bridges instead
Instead of people dying, we feed them wine and bread
If we used our resources to stop poverty and disease
Leaders looking for power would find the power of peace
Look at the destruction war has caused over the years
Look at our people cowering in fear
What have we accomplished, what have we lost
What have we become, look at the cost
What we need is for all wars to cease ...

You Don't Have To Do It Alone
You'll get through it
Everyone does
Yeah, you're having troubles
You feel without cause
The world is scary
It always was
But you don't have to do it alone
There are bad people
See them every day
There are big bills
Everyone has to pay
Things get complicated
You can't run away
But you don't have to do it alone
Chorus:
No sense in worrying about the things you can't change
Just ride the rest out like surfing on a wave
There are people who can help
There are people that care ...

Crackdown
Trump lies
Says things that aren't true
His base cries
"We won't wear masks for you"
Fox lies
Cause that's just what they do
And Barr says...
Crack down
On Democratic Mayors
Crack down
On black men thinking they are free
Crack down
On our right to protest
Cracked down
Till freedom can't breathe
Crack down
On science and global warming
Crack down
On our right to vote
Crack down
Put women in their places
Crack down
Keep those immigrants on their boats ...
