Tim Emminger Jan 2021
Keep on rolling on
Live your life like a song
There is a rebellion going on
You can only keep people down for so long
Keep rolling, rolling on

Social media is in control
Tuning everyone against one another
No longer thinking of others
Not giving a dam about your brother
We’ve learned to hate and believe we’re great
Keep rolling, rolling on

No more religion
No more murals
No more right or wrong
Hurting others makes you feel strong
No longer trying to get along
Keep rolling, rolling on

There is right and there is wrong
Everything is not acceptable because social media says so
Their facts are often wrong
Why not try loving and getting along
Keep on rolling, rolling along

The bible and the hippies had it right
Love others as you love yourself tonight
Peace, love and music is alright
Keep rolling, rolling along

Eyes
KST Dec 2012
Do you see me rolling my eyes right now?
No?
Well if you could see my eyes right now they would be rolling, and I’d be looking at you while I’m rolling them.
Actually, I wouldn’t be looking at you while my eyes were rolling because my eyes would be busy rolling and I wouldn’t really be looking at anything.
But I’d definitely be THINKING about you, while I’m rolling my eyes, and I’m thinking of all the crazy things you say. And all the crazy things you do, while I’m rolling my eyes.
And if I could look at myself, I would look at myself and I would roll my eyes.
At myself.
Actually, I wouldn’t be looking at myself while my eyes were rolling, because my eyes would be busy rolling and I wouldn’t really be looking at anything.
But I’d definitely be THINKING about myself, while I’m rolling my eyes, and I’m thinking of all the crazy things I say. And all the crazy things I do.
Like rolling my eyes.
And my eyes get tired.
Tired of rolling. And I close them.
And I think,
But I’d definitely be Thinking about you, while I'm closing my eyes.
