Goin to where

The road bends

Unto the high hills

••

Finding our Courage

In love of our fellow men

••

••

You know "this world"

Don't mean nothin at all

Don't mean nobody no good

Respecting no Law

••

Seein easily

Through all that is false

••

Only the road to the top of the hill

Captures my imagination

Conquers my Will

••

Come with me
If you wanna

Be free

••
••

Goin to where

The road bends

Into the high hills

••

Have no fear
Just know why you are there


Have no fear
Just know why you are there

free
the simple day holds us all

we
need not see "it"
so perfectly
cause we know
what love is

free
we move and the
holy breezes flow
and life
comes
awake

you and i
forever

what did you expect?
where do you think you are?

and will the ones who UNDERSTAND
prevail........who knows?

we are such simple cannon fodder
we are such ordinary consumers

we are simply the workers who buy
and buy into anything at all

days trail perversely on and on

the gallant youth attempt to find
a way to love

the heart of man is frozen

the ugliness permeates
all social institutions

and the manipulators are praised
for their mad interventions

the simple pure young lovers
the wise and the gentle
the decent kind and graceful??

who are these?

we dont know them anymore

and who then shall prevail?

will it be you?
will it be me?

I HOPE SO

She carries silent corpses
But
She does not weep

(She cannot feel -- she cannot care
Any more )

She says

BETTER OFF DEAD

•

She looks each empty eye
Thru to You

And starts to speak
But she is too weak

And just falls down

Death
Teaching death
Killing

We eat our popcorn patriotically
--
We eat our children patriotically
---
In full COLOR
RAGGED AND DUMB!
--
We come out and look for the Sun

But alas
It is gone!

and without a country, nor time nor place
and without a lover, nor body nor face

and with all health leaving me with but shame
as if i have abandoned the human race

i would climb 'the mountain" but it is gone
i would seek salvation but there is none

so i sit forlornly without true faith
and just mutter aimlessly your true name

the last lover has lost her way to your door

the last notion of world peace lies broken
and nobody cares

the last "forever"  has come and gone
and we don't understand what that means

the last lover is wandering the streets
for you locked the door to your heart

the world lies broken by war
the last "forever" has come and gone
