Cosmic Consciousness At the gas station I offered to buy a man A granola bar He had returned I thought he couldn't Afford it But he just returned it Because there was An ingredient in it He couldn't have I said I Was embarrased He said it was Sweet of me And that I restored His faith in mankind Well, that was Kind of him Just try to love Your fellow man I went on a walk In the neighborhood In the mountains I met a kind woman She complimented me And I did the same I won't say what was said Some things I keep only for me And don't even Type them here It was a wonderful walk I heard the birds And I picked up The conversations As I often do Dream time I turned left down the street As I type I am listening to A recording Of birds I cannot remember where It was taken There are voices In the background On my walk this evening The parrots squawked Four flew close together "Feed the birds" She said She was giving them seed On her front porch Through the trees Of a front lawn A woman in her kitchen And on the corner A man and woman Surveyed the small trees And plants on their lawn And I am reminded That this is America This is a beautiful land A beautiful land And these people Live in peace And in these beautiful Mountain homes And aren't they blessed And I prayed For these people Just like I prayed For the people At the gym I did not know them But I spent so much time WIth some people At the gym They are my brothers And sisters We spent time Doing the same activity In our American gym And everyday You have food And shelter And some friends Well be grateful
