Essence as in presence is a dominating trait
Bearer wears their halo with eternal grace
Ever present you are, untouchable at times
Undefinable, but it fills my mind
The vision of understated elegance
Put together quietly, but not by chance
The smell of gardenias fill the air
A glint of light twirls from your hair
Beauty, but much more, as that alone is trite
Your presence and posture are just right
Your emotions are on your sleeve and real
You cry…

I will live as I can
I need to see things I love grow
I will live as long as I can
I need to bring relief to those I know
I will live as long as I can
with Charities and good work to bestow
I will live as long as I can
My children need to…

The world cries as Haitians die
When we are motivated passions fly
Government bureaucracies interfere with supplies
as little Haitian children die
We deal with tragedies one at a time to
We help wherever and whenever it's true
But lives are lost in the bat of an eye
The world shakes an we wonder why?
Food and water , medicine and supplies
As Haitians bleed and many died
We need to provide a way to survive
Roads and airports…

Insurance companies rob the gold teeth
From the old sick and infirm beyond belief
They over charge refuse service to the poor
Defraud people out of their homes not insured
WE can't continue to close our eyes... Read More
When coverage as needed gets denied
Prior conditions are the reason why
AS BIG INSURANCE KILLS AND TELLS LIES

Certain people get to go through life as if they deserve more
They seem to have all that anyone could want but keep score
They want their taxes lowered and talk about trickle down
They ship their production overseas and sell it all around
When the country aches they complain about big government
When the people are in pain they plan health care decent
They live in wealthy area's were they gather to talk of life
Keeping up with the Jones is their only…

Lack of health care can force a single Mother into bankruptcy
Poverty and no job can lead to depression and suicide
Hard working people with one days bad luck can be homeless
On going strife caused by the callas I can no longer abide.
Health care for all should be a right
How can we object because that recipients are poor?
What can we do to protect children and more?
Why do politicians protect insurance companies for?
I've had to fight…

I am home alone this morning waking slowly
My only son is at a friends gone from this house
I'm slowly beginning the day with a cup of Joe
Looking through the windows to see as around I grouse
Quietly, Contemplatively, I enter the world gently
There is a part of me that wants to live it all again
There is a part of me that wants to go around the bend
I know what I have done and what I want to do in the end
I want to see beauty and reflect as a…

I wonder how the world can be so angry
As I see beauty every where I look
When history has shown man less than
Art replicating life is so beautiful it can't be mistook
As I stare at purple mountains majesty in a desert sunset
The Grand Canyons majesty as if it were painted before my feet
The Rocky Mountains at Dusk in Autumn in bluish hues
I wonder still what motivates man to create death and deceit
War fought in a land so barren that it was…

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no…

Trust Obama to bring about peace
Never let politics make you weak
He put his Presidency on the line
He is talking peace just in time
Reaching out to friends and foes
Not letting history stop when we must go
Ending wars won't ever be easy
Our promisses have left us quezee
We must get out safely and in time
Protecting civil liberty as in kind
Stop killing our boys in empty wars
As our debt chokes us and soars
Screem to you congressmen…

Our country our world is divided and dangerous
We make decisions under the illusion of freedom for us
We are not free but we do have rights and so
Those inalienable rights are guaranteed and important to Know
We are innocent until proven guilty but we have tortured
We occupy other countries under laws ignored
When will old men save lives of young men in law
What will it take to believe others without war
Giving to others is a part our heritage…

When the world needs a sunset
A begining of the end of unrest
Think of the soliers, The Lions of life
The Kennedy's gave blood and their lives
To the service of our country's endless needs
For this and so much more we are numb, we heed
Their wor...ds and actions for decades together
Their memmories will serve our country forever

The Beatles & Stones were the rage
Marched for peace sung on stage
Back from Nam to see how to change
Building a company seemed so strange
Prayed for Martin more then once
There was never going to be a free lunch
Lost my hero's gunned down in blazes
Lost my brain in woodstock hazes
Did we accomplish at the end of the day
The Doors and drugs blew minds away.
Lost our focus and our causes
People had to die to add some…

As I try to see what I have done.
For the first time I am trying to motivate some
Friends that were strangers to discussion groups come
I find that people are interested in all sorts of topics
Some come form Sweden and some are physiologists
Pakistan needs so much help and so do the Tropics
Africa is in turmoil to an extent that is catastrophic
I know not what I am trying to do
Or where this will lead to
Scary to know how little I know
I wade…

Once a soldier cried out for peace
His voice was little and he felt weak
Go to fight communism they said
His bunk mate took a bullet in his head
All around the area in Vietnam they patrolled
For months they did what they were told
Heads and bodies once vibrant and strong
Were dead , bent or broken in throngs
257 in company E
21 left for all to see
Home and confused that nothing was done
My people treated me like scum
For the…

Get off your computer and give
Walk with your legs and let live
Give a sandwich, give a shirt
Give a little more until it hurts
To many groups and too much talk
Stop talking and walk the walk
Freedom seekers lay down your lives
Give your time or a dime so freedom thrives
Bloated conversations and spirited speach
May constipate your soul until you deep reach
Get off you Arses and go to the street
help a child breath and meet &…

There is no time to get involved just do
The children wait for you
Barefeet and stomachs protruding through
They look, hope, cry and wait too
A little food some clothes a smile or two
The children wait for you
Thousands die as they wait and still there is no you
Haunted eyes looking into the camara what to do
You Give what you can anywhere; that's true
Give more directedly acknowlege it's in liu
You don't really care enough do YOU
