Hoi Polloi
competitive living,
the hunt for the holy grail
is all for show;
everyone is certain
their neighbor has it,
and they covet
to the point
of conspicuous
gluttony
the hoi polloi,
with an inability
to conduct their own
investigations,
jet fueled by Vyvance,
noses to the grind
~fake it til you make it, baby ~
while consuming
Costco cases of wine
and joking about it
on Facebook,
not realizing
that chronic dis-ease
and irreplaceable moments
are the only prize awarded ...

Ninja -The Hardy Road Warrior And Explorer Extrodanier
He's been trained
To walk properly
He knows what
He's supposed to do
But the problem is
He's a terrier
Born to explore
The entire universe
In a single day
Sniffing every
Inch of road
Along the way
Perhaps looking
For adventure
Or a spot
Where sadly
A smashed critter
Met it's unfortunate
Demise
To walk properly
He knows what
He's supposed to do
But the problem is
He's a terrier
Born to explore
The entire universe
In a single day
Sniffing every
Inch of road
Along the way
Perhaps looking
For adventure
Or a spot
Where sadly
A smashed critter
Met it's unfortunate
Demise

On the heights
At one point only the birds were flying
and the winds came
took the wings
at one point my neck hurt
for following the flight of birds
then the birds got tired
and they glared in the eyes
from anyone who saw them fly
at a certain point the planes appeared
and cut off the wings of the birds
crossed the birds' routes
at that time only planes flew
because the birds
they didn’t have a license to fly
at those heights...

Into The Mist
The future looks grey
I feel for the youth of today
They see the world in a plight
The end seems in sight
The weather is changing
Their voices are shaking
They've got good reason to be pissed
Their future is disappearing
like leaves in the mist
Chorus::
Their future is disappearing
Fading into the mist
As the signs are appearing
We're starting to get the gist
It's real, this global warming
They feel like they're gonna drown
And the world is burning
Their world is burning down
If the world...
I feel for the youth of today
They see the world in a plight
The end seems in sight
The weather is changing
Their voices are shaking
They've got good reason to be pissed
Their future is disappearing
like leaves in the mist
Chorus::
Their future is disappearing
Fading into the mist
As the signs are appearing
We're starting to get the gist
It's real, this global warming
They feel like they're gonna drown
And the world is burning
Their world is burning down
If the world...

Welcome Back Otter
If I were to return to earth in another lifeform
I would comeback as a Sea Otter
Be part of nature’s cycle and balance
I would be happy to live in the water
I’d be grooming and primping my thick coat of fur
Floating in the ocean under the California sun
Watching and waving at the whales going by
Diving for food and swimming all day would be fun
No matter what religious or philosophical views
Being a marine mammal would teach all a lesson
Perhaps bringing more awareness to humans
And the dangers to the ecosystems would lessen...
