Rush to Nowhere

Rush to Nowhere

We rush to conserve
Avoiding that upward curve
As if we have controlled
Over what we are told

Put more propellers in the breeze
Cut down those wind blocking trees
Build more dams for water control
And maybe we will save our soul

We know there is a nowhere
We only need to rush to get there
Everything will be OK
Coming soon a better day

All are Gone

All are Gone

After all the words are spoken
And the World keeps on turning
What is left to adore
Certainly us no more

Those days of self adoration
As other species depart
Of lifting eyes to Heaven
Proving we are smart

Does it really matter
When we're all gone
That we could not fix
As Life turned to stone

Having His Way

When it comes
And very soon
We sit on Titanic's deck
And howl at the moon

We will listen to the orchestra play
As water reaches our feet
Don't worry about icy water
Just get a higher seat

Economic collapse
Protests every day
And he who is in charge
Rushing to have his way

Poem to You

Poem to You

I threw a poem into the sea
A poem cast to you from me
A poem traveling far
In a bottle under a star
A poem seeking to be

Will there ever be a view
It's intent meant for you
Or drift forever more
It's meaning in its core
A meaning remaining true

The Fool

The Fool

This will end
Know not when
Destiny holds reign
As we hide our pain
Disguised as sin

We hold on as Gods who rule
Sitting on our golden stool
The time will arrive
Like clouds in the sky
Leaving our role as Fool

Quiet

Quiet

Quiet creeps in
Like a forgotten sin
Comitted years ago
In our Ego Show

Difficult to deny
Ours eyes to the sky
What was our joy
Is now just a toy

Do we welcome Quiet
Is it an Insight
Maybe so we say
On our merry way

Tryng To Find Our Way

Trying to Find Our Way

Trying to find our Way
Going into another day
Advice from here
Advice from there
Follow me they say

But goals disappear
And visions turn to fear
Don't do this
Don't do that
Nothing is becoming clear

So what are we to do
Gather with just a few
Put on that mask
Stay home for that task
And maybe get out of this Zoo

The Race

The Race

They drive in circles
With hopes they will win
Those circles to nowhere
Not seeing the sin

Fans coming from miles
Food in their car
Awaiting the great event
Wheels spinning on the tar

And when it is over
Drivers joyously out their car
Fans returning to their own race
Taking us not very far

Time

Time

Time washes over us
Leaving remnants of our past
We pick up the pieces
Time moving so fast

What did we learn
Mistakes and successes
Destined to be lost
In those dark recesses

Does it really matter
Since time will erase
Those mistakes we made
On our journey through Space

Doom Tippy Tat

Doom

What is That
Tipping it's hat
Tip tapping across the room
Singing songs of Doom
Trying to avoid a cat

Is it a rat
Doing a tippy tippy tat
Letting us know
It's our final show
It's our final splat

Didn't know
Rats could do a Show
Tippy hats
Ratta tat tats
Attending our final Show
