So Let It Be Written , So Let It Be Done

                       TWENTY TWENTY 

   Glittering And Bright , A Shining Shrine

 Monuments Meant To Mesmerize Mankind

Do We Not Realize That We Upon The Earth

              Haven't Got Much Time

   Spinning In Circles , Losing Our Minds

   Our Architectural Achievements Shall 

         Soon Come Crashing Down

    As The Bridges Rust And Crumble ,

       Then Fall Into The Waters They 

               Had Once Crossed

And As All In Atlantis Had Once Drown

   All We Love Shall One Day Be Lost

             I Can Hardly Believe It

       We've Made It To Twenty Twenty

With Our Preposterous Pretend Pandemic

            Why Is It Killing Us ?

   And Who Takes All The Credit ?

       Our New Cultural Connection

Is Only A Click Away On Your Mouse

  Then Your Computer Gets A Virus , 

          An On Purpose Infection

Inviting Our Enemies Into Our House

We're So Enamored By These Internet Sites

           Dictators And Our Politicians

 Playing Games With Human Beings Lives

   Making Their Wise Worldly Decisions

 Our Politicians Never Did Figure Out How 

To Run This Country , Let Alone The World

       For They Are Hopelessly Human

    It Would Seem Their Finite Minds Just 

    Can't Comprehend The Way Of Peace

              As For All These Wars , 

             I Will Never Understand

  What A Wonderful Weekend To Start A War

We Have A Bargain Basement Sale On Nuclear 

   Weapons For bin Laden's Butchers And The

                     Sons Of Saddam

 And Showing On My News Today I See These

Mid East Murderers Burning My American Flag

So Now Our Enemies Are Losing Their Heads

The Worlds End May Be Viewed By Everyone

              With Our World Wide Web

    So Let It Be Written , So Let It Be Done

  Just What Would God Think Of Us

Looking Down Upon Our Pitiful Planet

      Another War In The Mid East

   Mass Executions Of The Innocent

   Please Tell Me , Who Plans This ?

Our Social Studies Have All Gone Wrong

   Every Different Race Hates Another

Our History Repeats The Same Old Song

    We Just Can't Live As Sisters And

Brothers , For The Worlds Gone Wrong

So Answer This , Who Can We Trust

We Live On The Edge Of Insanity

Overpowered By Greed And Lust

   Now Witness The Complex 

Consequences Of Our Calamity

          Religion Tries To Bind Us To God

           Although It Seems Many Of Us

         Feel As If We're The Chosen One

Perhaps You're The Savior Of Our Broken World

      So Let It Be Written , So Let It Be Done

The Doomsday Clock Has Been Ticking

Forever In Mankind's Sick Little Mind

And The Demolition Of Our Planet

May Be Done By Mans Own Hand

      I Do Believe The End Times Have Begun

        Plagues , Hurricanes ,Tsunamis ,Earth

              Quakes And Global Warming

How Much Longer Can We Depend Upon The Sun

  Or Perhaps Another Ice Age Is About To Come

We Human Beings Have Destroyed Our Planet

Grave Consequences Are In Our Near Future

I Know This Isn't The Way God Planned It

I'm Sure He Drew A Much Better Picture

             I'm No Profit Of Disaster

   Yet I Fear My Visions May Come True

    This World May Soon Be A Memory

                      It's All Gone

Everyone And Everything We Once Knew

However , If You Know Gods Truth

We'll See You On The Other Side

Do We Not Realize That This World

          Will Not Be Our End

  For God Made A Promise To Us

        That If We Have Faith

  To Heaven We Shall Ascend.....

                FORGIVENESS

   Your Tears Will Not Hide Your Pain

        Will Revenge Heal Your Soul

Don't Let Bad Memories Leave A Stain

    Forgiveness Will Help You Let Go

       We Do Wrong To Each Other

       Another Foolish Human Trait

So Make Amends Sisters And Brothers

  For Vengeance Would Be A Mistake

We Tend To Hold On To Our Pain

    And Hide It Within Our Pride

      Our Hurt Leads To Shame

      Then The Truth Is Denied

      So Tell Me , Who Am I

       And What Is My Truth

      Long Ago And Far Away

      In The Days Of My Youth

Someone Taught Me How To Pray

      If God Can Forgive , Why Can't We

Can't You Hear The Whisper Of Gods Voice

       Forgiveness Is What I Shall Seek

   For This Should Be Mankind's Choice

    Did I Live A Life Worth Living

   Or Was I Just Passing Time Away

I Always Wondered If I Was Forgiven

    I Suppose I'll Just Have To Wait 

       Until The Judgement Day

    I Look For Beauty In All People

     To You I Say , Look Inside Of 

           My Once Broken Heart

Forgive And Forget , Make A New Start

        And Learn To Live Again

  Don't Be Tormented By The Truth

Don't Live A Lie , Live And Let Live

   I Believe That God Would Smile

    If We All Learned To Forgive.....

                   THE DREAMS END

                  For Real In A Dream

            Is Someone Else In My Mind

                Nothings As It Seems

         No Trace Of Reality Do I Find

        Darkness Shrouds My Empty Soul

     When I Was Young I Lived In The Wild

       I Never Really Had Any Self Control

I Had No Loving Arms Around Me As A Child

Then An Angel Came To Me In A Dream

   She Walked Me Out Of The Darkness

Onto The Path Of Life That Once Eluded Me

     And She Shared With Me The Gifts Of 

                  Love And Tenderness

       So I Seek , And So I Shall Find

     The Key To My Own Imagination

And As I Now See , I'm No Longer Blind

    I Now Pursue A Pleasant Destination

I've Wandered Through My Life

  In A Mystic Haze Of Dreams

   I Told Myself I Was Alright

    Yet Nothings As It Seems

         I Finally Felt Feelings

     My Heart Was Beating Fast

           My Hurt Was Healing

As I Wandered Away From My Past

Was I Sleepwalking Tomorrow

      Deep Within A Dream

   Or Was It Only Yesterday

For Today Has Not Yet Been

My Dreams Never Did Come True

   As I Return To The Darkness

  The Promises I Kept Were Few

   So Here I Stand In The Flesh

The Promise Of Hope Refreshes My Fear

      Of Someday Facing The Light

     For I Must Now Face My End

    Dark And Cold As This Night

     I Shall Have No More Pain

    Nor Have I The Will To Fight

My Dream Ends Upon This Night......

          December 19 2020

                            PROMISES 

Hello Beautiful , I'm Falling In Love With You

Is There A Place For Me Within Your Heart ?

         Please Let Me See This Through

          At Least Let Me Make A Start

        Love Is The Magic We Can Do

           And I Can't Do It Alone

  That's Why I Long To Be With You

 For I Know That Man Wasn't Meant

            To Live On His Own

          I Also Know My Lovebird Has Not Yet Flown

                       We All Need A Better Half

        And Kindness To You Would Always Be Shown

I Would Really Enjoy Your Company Upon My Lives Path

I Would Give My Love And Life To You

           Until The End Of Time

Whatever You Ask Of Me , I Would Do

    If You Said You Would Be Mine

Life Alone Would Be Much To Hard To Bear

           Imagine No Hand To Hold

     Tell Me , For Whom Would I Care

   And With Whom Would I Grow Old

   So It's You And I , To Have And To Hold

             Never Would I Let You Go

I Would Keep Every Promise I've Ever Told

Always With You , As We Together Grow Old.....

                  December 20 2020

               MISS YOU SO MUCH

  Within The Words We Shared Yesterday

          The Hurtful Words Linger On

    How I Wish You Could Have Stayed

Now Our Feelings Of Love Are Forgotten

Remember The Magic Moments We Once Shared

          When Our Desires Were The Same

          For Each Other We Always Cared

   How Is It That Our Loves A Losing Game

My Days Are Empty Without You Here

        The Nights Are Even Worse

   Being Alone Was Always My Fear

   Loveless Life Is A Horrible Curse

    Why , Why ? I Ask Myself As I Cry

  You're No Longer Here To Comfort Me

      I'll Always Love You , I Can't Lie

Yet , I'm The Reason You Chose To Leave

               I Miss You So Much

The Magic Moments We Once Shared

               I Miss Your Touch

      I Miss You Calling My Name

                   I'm Sorry

         I Miss You So Much.....

          December 13 2020

            IN THE WILDERNESS

    As Always , I Have A Tale To Tell

     Long Ago When I Was A Child

          Living In A Living Hell

     For I Was Raised In The Wild

   Every Day Was Another Adventure

         Perhaps I Grew Up To Fast

       I Did Enjoy Acting Immature

Yet Somehow I Knew My Childhood

                Wouldn't Last

I Once Lived In The Land Of Agony

      Sinking Deep Into Despair

   I Was Starting To Feel Angry

  It's As If No One Really Cared

I Thought I Might Be The Nowhere Man

       That Paul And John Spoke Of

Writing My Words For No One To Read

     All By Myself , Without Love

     To Much Solitude Could Be Scary

  And My Mind Was A Dangerous Place

This Lonely Weight Is Too Much To Carry

     I'm Lost In All This Empty Space

        Upon My Journey Through The Wilderness

I Knew Not The Difference Between Wrong And Right

                I Took Whatever I Wanted

            And I Learned How To Fight

       No One Cares How I Feel

   Does Anyone Really Know Me

   I Wonder If Love Is Really Real

And If It's Something I Really Need

    

             My Past And My Future Are Done

       I'm Worthless , With Nothing More To Give

My Dreams Mean Less And Soon I'll Face My Death

       As I Shall Live And Die In The Wilderness.....

                           July 16 2020

                           FOR YOU

  If Only I Could Touch You With My Words

         If Only I Could Share My Peace

     Come , Walk With Me In My World

        A Love For Life We Shall Seek

If I Fell In Love , Would You Love Me Back

     The Purest Love Comes From Above

           Tell Me , If I Loved You

     What In My Life Would I Lack

 I Desire To Share My Love Song With You

   For Only Your Voice Would Be Worthy

Your Inspiration To Me Is That Of The Muse

   For These Words Of Love Were Written

                    Only For Thee

    Let Me Invite You Into My Dreams

  I Welcome You To Fall Into My Arms

If You Let Me , I Could Love You Forever

     For I Long To Take In Your Charm

          For You , And Only You

             I Promise The Truth

          For You , And Only You

Could Make My Dreams Come True

          My Heart Is Beating Fast

  Your Smile Makes My Day Brighter

      I Long For Our Love To Last

Of Your Fire , Let Me Be The Igniter

    The Absence Of Your Touch

Has Made My Heart Grow Fonder

         In Our Love I Trust

 For Deep In Thought , I Ponder

         For You , And Only You

            I Promise The Truth

         For You , And Only You

Could Make Our Dreams Come True.....  

              December 24 2020

                    NO LONGER HERE

I Sometimes Feel My Memories May Overflow

       As My Tears Appear For All To See

       For All The Love I've Ever Known

      Is No Longer Here For Me To Keep

           Yesterdays A Dream

 That I Wish Had Never Gone Away

I'm Sorry , But That's The Way I Feel

   Oh , How I Wish You Had Stayed

To Be Close To You , I Long To Be

        As We Were Years Ago

When You Were So In Love With Me

    Why Did I Ever Let You Go

 No Matter The Path I Choose

I End Up With A Broken Heart

      Or A Memory Of You

      My Lost Piece Of Art

I Sometimes Feel My Memories May Overflow

       As My Tears Appear For All To See

       For All The Love I've Ever Known

      Is No Longer Here For Me To Keep.....

                 December 28 2020

                PRECIOUS RHYMES

                  So Now I Wonder

        Is My Life Reflected In My Art

     Or Is My Art Reflected In My Life

In My Pages Of Rhyme I Share My Heart

 And To The World Is To Whom I Write

I Wish I Could Live Another Lifetime

  So Many Stories I Long To Share

 I Could Forever Write My Rhyme

    But Who Would Really Care

I've Been Writing For Five Decades

   Am I Perhaps Lost In A Dream

As My Dreams Slowly Fade Away

    Perhaps It Is Just A Dream

   Mine , Mine , All Mine , All My Precious Rhymes

To Your Ears And Your Conscience My Words Are Sent

   Share My Thoughts Within This Moment In Time

             And To You My Memories Are Lent

My Moments Of Rhyme Come And Go

I Try To Be Calm , Cool And Collective

And Although I May Be Growing Old

My True Feelings Will Always Be Told

     Thank You For Coming To The Show

              And Putting Up With Me

            I Wish I Didn't Have To Go

  Yet Each Other We Shall Again Soon See

For I'll Always Have More Rhymes To Read.....
