Why ?

Is there no more love
Doesn't it make you want to cry
This earth, it's about to die
Everyone turns a blinds eye
Why ?
Why ?
Does everyone just stand by
And not here the outcry
I am horrified
That no one wants to rectify
All they want to do is justify
And just get by
and not try
I guess it's easier to comply
To do nothing must be more
Dignified
Why ?
Are people so satisfied
To just set back and watch this world die
Why ?
Are people not terrified
Because they are waiting for it to be clarified
When it happens I guess then they will be mortified
Then
It will be to late to ask

Why ?

What would I do ?

If I lost you
I have no clue
I know the sky would be dark and no longer blue
When I shut my eyes and I can't see you
I get a preview
of me without you

What would I do
If I lost you
I hope this question you would ask to
I know my days would not start new
From the beginning I knew
I did not want to be without you

What would I do
If I lost you
My life would be *******
Since my life is about tending to you
It is so easy for me to do

What would I do
If I lost you
There would be nothing to look forward to
Something I could not work through
And
I would not want to

What would I do
If I lost you
I would loose my mind
Since our minds are so intertwined
I could not handle you leaving me behind

What would I do
If I lost you
The thoughts of and what I would do
Lets just say they would have to bury me next to you
Then my angel I could be with you

What would I do?
If I lost you
I do have a clue
I would continue loving you

The new age, The new way

Many years past by to get to this new age
Now there are so many new ways
What is wrong with the old ways
They call it evaluation
There needs to be a revolution
I am afraid of this new nation
People of gratification
The new age of ligation
summation
starvation
So much talk of deportation
And of emigration
No legalization
This is
The new age , The new way
The new age of the politician
The new way of their deception
No reputation
No consideration
All about their affiliation
The new age, The new way
Of all corporation's
All about their accumulation (of money)
Their conglomeration
Jobs of elimination
Exportation
The new age, The new way
Still so much discrimination
No equalization
Young life's - unjust- evaporation
with no justification
The new age, The new way
The world without conservation
Global warming no talks of stabilization
Over populating

The new age , The new way
to our own
Proliferation

This dying world

We must give more then what we take
Learn to make
Her gift to us is letting us stay
Then we take all of her gifts away
It did not take us long to forget
Now she will collect on that debt
She does not make idle threats

I am going home

I will have no more fears
My God will be near
There will be no more tears
There will be no more pain
Where there will be so much to gain
No more of my blood will be drained
My body will not be in any more strain
Where I will not have to complain
I am going home
Where I will never have to be alone
At the moment, I will own
Where time stands still
Where I will be given back my strong will
Where there will be no more pills
To think about it gives me the chills
Where  I will be running barefoot through the hills
Where I will not die
Where everyone will be my ally
The place where never again will I  have to say bye
When you look up to the sky
you may see me fly
I am going home
Please do not sigh
Do not cry
Will you please try
I am going home
Where there will be no doctors
that I have to abide by
Where I will not feel terrified
I am going home
I will be there at the blink of an eye

Only my body died

All of this was just  stepping stones
on my way home

It's not all about - It's about

It's not all about you and me
It's not about your an my needs
It's not about what we exceed
It's not about rather or not we have been pleased
It's not about what we have seized
It's not about what we have achieved
It's not about us living on easy street
It's not about just tomorrow
It's not about who we have beat

It's about
It's about not living in darkness
It's about always landing on your feet
It's about being tough
It's about living for tomorrow
It's about hanging on when your at the end of your rope
It's about knowing there is hope
It's about how you meet
It's about how you greet

It's not about
It's not about our wins
It's not about the color of our skin
It's not about rather or not we are fat or thin
It's not about our possessions and our things
It's not about what we bring

It's about
It's about being everything we can be
It's about how we disagree
It's about living in reality
It's about the actuality
It's about our will
It's about not standing still
It's about not leaving anyone behind
It's about being kind
It's about all of mankind

today

it is part of me making my way
it deciding if I will get to stay
or if it will be my last day
maybe my time will be over in may
living for another day
it's the only way
day
after
day
after
day
after
day
starting with
today
