Waves of emotion crash and clash on the shore of my soul
The storm is relentless for mother nature knows no pity
Each crest eroding the foundation of my perception burns a hole
Which forms a crack gradually creeping the length of my trunk
The salty air stings as the sand slowly slides away
Exposing the roots of the tree that is me
A tree all alone making a final stand
On a beaten battered barrier beach

I’m proud of where I call home
I live out where the crops are grown
where we can live, without a phone
and we can make it on our own
where you break a sweat, when you work
and you give all, just to make a buck
we ain’t afraid, to dig no ditch
out here we don’t, sit and *****
we jump on it quick, lend a hand
work on through, and get r done
But how much more, can we take
of the stealing, from our plate
we have given in, and given up
it’s like we just don’t, give a ****
but that won’t work, that won’t win
we got to see it, to the end
so stand up tall scream and shout
let the flag wave about
let em come on down my gravel road
and see the place I call home
where the white tail roam
where I'll make a stand
to defend this land
from dear old uncle sam
when his out stretched hand has finally overreached
I’ll lay’em out at my feet

No distance of feet
brings two minds closer
No truer a fact
exists than that
If the freedom flower rotts
What cold reality blumes
What could be left undiscovered
What more is needed to be seen

Please don't think me a lazy man
Because I've been sitting around all day with the blues
I know how it looks but don't misunderstand
It's just that I can tell a storm's about to brew
Cause there's thunder inside my mind
There's lightning behind these eyes
There's a lull and the wind is dying down
Don't let it fool you the storm ain't done
Flood waters rolling in and my hearts gonna drown
Our love wilted like a flower that ain't got enough sun
Well the thunder in my head might go away
And the river of pain will flow back to the sea
If you would only come back home to stay
It'd bring a stop to the rain and happiness to me
Well if you would just come back I'd be so grateful
And the storm would be over
The world wouldn't seem so mean and hateful
And I'd lay you down on a bed of yellow clover

Love is a progressively debilitating mental condition of irrational behavior, generated by repetitive occurrence of desired emotion. All emotions originate simultaneously with personal thought or belief. Then love associates with some form of a focal point. Virtually any thought invoking component of existence can be convinced as a focal point including, people, possessions, or even activities. The intensity and duration of love is typically variable, due to fluctuating emotional arousal. In-order for emotional stimulation to maintain initial performance levels, over extended duration, exercises must be conducted with the focal point. Once repetitive supply of euphoric feeling is established retardation of the brain is accelerated, drastically restricting rational thought. Without the function of rational thought, behavior becomes irregular resulting in rash conclusions. In case of emergency, ending contact with the target focal point neutralizes personal thoughts and beliefs, eliminating love in theory.

Integrity is a guaranty of honesty in a mans word and without it he is nothing.
A pistol is only a means to get to a rifle, because a man with a pistol is a threat but a man with a rifle is a weapon.
I wish not to be independently wealthy but to be independent of wealth.
Life is hard. Its even harder when your stupid.

Promise yourself to be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!

And wouldn't it be wiser,
Than waiting like a dunce,
To go to work in earnest
And learn the thing at once?
Suppose that some boys have a horse
And some a coach a pair
Will it tire you less while walking
To say, "It isn't fair?"
And wouldn't it be nobler
to keep your temper sweet
and in your heart be thankful
you can walk upon your feet?
Suppose the world don't please you.
Nor the way some people do
Do you think the whole creation
will be altered just for you?
And isn't it, my boy or girl
The wisest, bravest plan
Whatever come, or doesn't come
To do the best you can?

He was small, brown, and funny, full of joy
He spent his days in the shade of the trees
Then came the dreadful buzzing killer bees
With the killer bees came an angry boy
The angry boy chopped down the monkey's home
Then the monkey was enraged with fury
So he grabbed his nine ready for revenge
He killed the boy and went on a binge
In the deep dark depression he found worry
So the mean monkey stole a garden gnome
The monkey's life was a roller coaster
He was as cranky as a grizzly bear
All those he knew in his life ceased to care
Now all that is left is a wanted poster

If to US they are THEM
Then to THEM they are US
and we are THEM
But then there is YOU
who is neither US nor THEM
But your not ME, I am ME
and that's who I'll be
As long as YOU stay YOU
and don't find yourself an US or THEM
