Right now, a witness I am, of the ever repeating ever progressing world, Right now, peoples’ different definitions clash in a heavy sticky stew a-broiled; but Right now, people are looking left, many more looking right, Right now, the pendulum is walking back - this election is up for a fight. Right now, the people are like crops waiting for the harvest, Right now, the farmers are making their “witty” and impulsive agendas they claim are harmless. Right now, America has no unity - until “POW!” - we are attacked; Right now, I wish we could fight off our extreme, utmost, and bombarding differences Right now. To come together. Our woes, sorrows gone. Right now, achieve safety, happiness for all, and exclusion for none.

The Tide to the Right
Nothing, but a checklist, is a life Full of tasks people race to complete. They look straight ahead, and never turn back; To them, the future is a new frontier Waiting to be explored until they’re done, but Everyday is like an assignment they finish, They wake up to go to sleep; Checking off their lists with their retired old pens, They want to do it over again; Life will always be a checklist.

Life Poem
Gathered around the fireless pit, The birds rejoicing to the songs; Of easing melodies and mellow winds - no one sings along. Tranquil, spontaneous and dynamic is this place - we are pondering like Owls; I wish I could sing aloud and be free, but I just sit there afoul.

Expression
A spark, it is, you lit in my cold heart, Now a fire to guide me through the dark; For six moons I have been going insane, This dame I perceive is the one I blame; Wounding me with Cupid's piercing arrow, I'm now in a state of delightful shame; For sleep has left me - I'm thinking of you At dust, at dawn, at anytime - no cue. However, this love, a glorious wound, Brought passion and faith to my soul, thank you. But as I whither away, I fear that I shall stay, Wounded with love's insanity without you.

Love's Side Effects
As a witness to the world, I fear our days are few, I try to live each moment to its fullest However my mind goes askew. There's a force, yes! That's keeping me alive, A vision, a moment, I'm striving for, every time. I see it, yes I do! Your there in my arms. We're running, we're dancing, It's love by far  - Yet again, I imagine every test, Every run, every show, and Every milestone, Will all bring me closer to you. Should I live every moment, Or speed up time? I don't know what to do? All I know is, I just want to be with you.

As a Witness
I've been thinking of you day by day Watching the tides role away Slowly drifting back and forth Smiling all the way I've been sticking my feet in the sand Dancing with you Hand to hand Feeling your warmth and wisdom That you've always had I've been running down the shore Chasing you once more Wishing you would never leave my arms Your beautiful, I adore I've been laying in the sand Under the setting sun Holding your hands Embracing your presence Like we've always had I've been holding you once more Feeling your wavy hair - But then the storm come near And my parade ends in fear That you, who I've been dreaming about Was never really here

I've Been
School is over for the day The kids go out to play You walk home and say "Hip, hip, hooray!" The sun is out The sky is blue For all you know it's 82 You hop on your bed And rest your head From the stresses of your day But when you open your eyes You realize That all you've got to do is press play You listen to the song Sing along And all your stresses go away.
