Bump on the belly
Bump on the belly
Sit and think about
What she goes through
Gestating creation in the womb
Nurturing maternal instincts
As I go about my business
My feet don’t swell
No morning sickness
Swimming in nausea
She’s a trooper
No complaints
If it was me I’d be
Screaming from the rooftops
Asking for help or some relief
She soldiers on
Says she’s fatiguing
On the couch for days
9 months on the rock pile
Producing Oscar winners
Or a astronaut exploring...
Sit and think about
What she goes through
Gestating creation in the womb
Nurturing maternal instincts
As I go about my business
My feet don’t swell
No morning sickness
Swimming in nausea
She’s a trooper
No complaints
If it was me I’d be
Screaming from the rooftops
Asking for help or some relief
She soldiers on
Says she’s fatiguing
On the couch for days
9 months on the rock pile
Producing Oscar winners
Or a astronaut exploring...

Children are our Hope
Children are the brightest light,
Their blueprint is divine and pure.
they have the gift of clear sight,
they are the future's cure.
Guardian angels, protecting the youth,
please pour your cozy affection;
through their crystal spine so smooth
you establish their I AM protection.
We love the innocent kids,
smiling with stars in their eyes,
let's nourish the spiritual needs
of their curious belief in the skies.
Let's introduce the Aum sound to them.
Let's teach them to trust God from the start.
Let's fuel...

These words
My dad was once
He is no more
I never heard
These words before
I love you son
Come hold my hand
When all is done
I'll understand
When I am gone
So far away
Just think of these
Words I would say
I love you son
Come hold my hand
When all is done
I'll understand.
He is no more
I never heard
These words before
I love you son
Come hold my hand
When all is done
I'll understand
When I am gone
So far away
Just think of these
Words I would say
I love you son
Come hold my hand
When all is done
I'll understand.

Put Down the Gat
Put down the gat
I’m sick of this shit
Wake up and wonder if my kids are ok
Not like they’re fighting for our country
Or policing their territory
Jesus fucking Christ they’re our future
Tryin to learn the basics of life
How many more thoughts and prayers
Should we suffer till we say
This shouldn’t be the new normal
Metal detectors and shelter in place
Dont solve anything when the perp
Has more fire than the police
Ar 15 or ak47 weapon of war
Gotta ban that shit
Did it for 10 yrs and mass shootings ...

Blind Me
Headlights blind me
As I drive into the resurrection
She sings along as we cruise into
The greasy burger stand trying to
Scrape enough coin to feed the little ones
As cars criss cross the highway looking for
Their own redemption maybe if they can stay straight
But they drift off recessing into the dark alleyway
As a man walks along looking for lost money
The lights are bright at Walmart as
A local bicycle salesman closes for good because of them
Meet up at the Dollar...
As I drive into the resurrection
She sings along as we cruise into
The greasy burger stand trying to
Scrape enough coin to feed the little ones
As cars criss cross the highway looking for
Their own redemption maybe if they can stay straight
But they drift off recessing into the dark alleyway
As a man walks along looking for lost money
The lights are bright at Walmart as
A local bicycle salesman closes for good because of them

Poor billions
Two Ships not passing in the night
Darkness rises sun stands tall
Off the coast of anywhere you are
Waves lap at the sand seashells glisten
We set off on our journey of life
Crowded and cramped
Not 1st Class
Here is where the story turns into 2 episodes
Clothes on my back baby in arms
Looking for a brighter future for us and them
A world away rich men play with their toys
Titan not Titanium headed for an iceberg
1:45 in there is a Warning
Bubbles rise up
Billions go down...
Darkness rises sun stands tall
Off the coast of anywhere you are
Waves lap at the sand seashells glisten
We set off on our journey of life
Crowded and cramped
Not 1st Class
Here is where the story turns into 2 episodes
Clothes on my back baby in arms
Looking for a brighter future for us and them
A world away rich men play with their toys
Titan not Titanium headed for an iceberg
1:45 in there is a Warning
Bubbles rise up
Billions go down...

Gems
My nieces
Are star-cut gems;
My nephew,
The very stature
Of worth;
My own children;
Half-drunken dreams,
That shall know
No birth.
Are star-cut gems;
My nephew,

Not a formed person(wish to be)
Kids teach us more
Than any PHD
Not a formed person but I
Wish to be
They teach sheer joy and wonder
And how it should be
Being themselves
Not being afraid
Not a formed person but
Wish to be
Until the ugly world
Comes to their door to take their innocence away
It doesn’t knock it
Kicks it in…and the
Innocence can’t return
Innocence and believing
Is the wonder of life
And it lives when we are
A little naive
And we still believe
In our better being ...

A Strange Concept
Some monsters have always said
There are parents under my bed
One of their names is Dan
The other goes by Jan
There are parents under my bed
They won’t eat me as long as their fed
There are parents under my bed
Their complexions are lumpy & red
There are parents under my bed
My dreams are filled with dread
There are parents under my bed
I’d like to shoot them with lead
There are parents under my bed
Must act now before I wind up dead
There are parents under my bed
They say this illusion is in my head
There are...

Let's Go Back
Take me back to a place I want to go
Where cartoons and candy is all I know
Life was easier and much more grand
Going to the beach, digging in the sand
Met with friends, knocked on their door
Kids today sit around, what the fuck for?
Baseball, biking, swimming all day
Post 2001 life has turned so grey
Government and tech has ruined our lives
Increase pressures, illness and suicide
Optimism flew away years ago
My personal experiences, just so you know
Where cartoons and candy is all I know
Life was easier and much more grand
Going to the beach, digging in the sand
Met with friends, knocked on their door
Kids today sit around, what the fuck for?
Baseball, biking, swimming all day
Post 2001 life has turned so grey
Government and tech has ruined our lives
Increase pressures, illness and suicide
Optimism flew away years ago
My personal experiences, just so you know

it is all about children
It is all about children.
I know of a man who can be outspoken at times
he is also very rich, which can be an aber
the struggle to find meaning in life when
you can have all the physical things life offers
To be wealthy is a strain, do try it if you can
the man in mind also has a great sense of
wicket humor, which makes a so very human
He has the idea that people of means should
have as many children as they can
I agree the well-situated can afford to give
children a proper upbringing and a great education

A girl, two birds, some candy & a very large cat
Once upon a time a little girl was going to take her doll for a walk when there she was, meeting two nice little birds
She dropped them a pretty little bow and said to them,
"Good afternoon, little birds, will you play with me?"
"I have some lovely candy in my little bag"
"I'll give you some"
One of the birds said, "I have no objection"
and the other said, "Neither do I"
They enjoyed themselves very much until it was nearly evening
Then the little birds said, "We want to go away now" ...
