I remember my coloring books
and trying to stay in the lines

But now I draw my own pictures and
lines are at the back of my mind

I remember my favorite number
was what ever number was the biggest

And now my favorite number is
5 and 23

I remember my favorite color was
red

Now I don't have a favorite color
because I don't know them all

I remember crying
because I fell off my bike

Well, now I cry
because of the terrible things that go on in the world

Those memories seem to fade
with each year that goes by

Their like a picture in a picture frame
that is starting to wash away.

I've heard before that each end is a new beginning.
But with the history that has added up
in this aging world.
Will the end be the start
when we fade away?

Will the world start over?
Or will it be ended too?
We will not know
because we will be gone.

If we respected the world.
Like the Native Americans.
than the end would be far from here.
There would still be history to make
and promises to keep.
There would still be
the young ones to create a hopefully brighter future.



"Love the land like god loves you
because this we know there is only
one God and no man be he red man or
white man can stand alone
because we're brothers after all."
-Chief Seattle, 1854

Who said life isn't worth living?

Who said hope isn't reliable?

Who said knowledge is useless?

Who said peace is impossible?

Who said love is not stable?

Who would say these things?
Because I promise it was not me.

If you happen to have half of a chair
how will you be able to sit?
If you have half of a fork, spoon, and knife
how will you be able to eat?
If you have half of a foot
how will you be able to walk?
If you have half of a heart
how can the love be a whole?

Stop! Before you fall apart!  
Before you break your own spirit
before it is too late

my stomach does ache
my mind is floating in space
I'm holding it in
although I want to scream out
the worst time of the school year

Is it two people on one horse?
or two camels in a tiny car?

and two people for one camel

or two cars on one camel
maybe two cars on one horse
or two camels on one person
