Long ago I got on the road The world my back yard Started traveling all over Met many a poetic bard Learned the ways of people Writing of it all on the way Have poems not on computer Wrote sold songs sing lots today Writer of book songs poetry too Heaps still in boxes from back when Seen many places met endless souls Loved it all how I did back then A traveler becomes a deciple of wisdom But generations many have faded away Even Jesus studied Bhudism in Kashmir Was eighty five when he died there one day Religious I found time wasters collectors Of unknowing souls never dying on a cross All comes down to wealth greed organized No problems karma will be their loss After all said and done all were just families Those who were the captains of their soul All much the same as all families were then Since earliest days away back times of old There was as if a unuversal language then But since that time minds closed so tight Soul slavery became a hundred years later Writing bibles mans word not gods so right I saw lands oceans seas mountains valleys Ships made from straw camels horses too Was so many ways to travel had they then Country to country all under skies of blue But now those times are over gone for good As generations passed stories changed true People all were just that people minds open Greed and wealth lies written more than a few We are all here to only learn oppasites choices Like knowing right from wrong left and right If you know them you don't need religions A new born baby knows them day and night If one cannot do a good turn one don't do bad Treating others as you'd have them treat you If it wasn't for a good samariton doing likewise The story wouldn't be the one they call true Simplicity I love that word its right up there My insignificance in life my own invisability One can't walk both side of a barbed wire fence At the same time choices have to be made agree I'm older than so many right now no regrets Learned more than most would believe true Almost finished this class schooling so be it But old souls I adore each one of you terrence michael sutton copyright 2018

LONG AGO
Long ago I got on the road The world my back yard Started traveling all over Met many a poetic bard Learned the ways of people Writing of it all on the way Have poems not on computer Wrote sold songs sing lots today Writer of book songs poetry too Heaps still in boxes from back when Seen many places met endless souls Loved it all how I did back then A traveler becomes a deciple of wisdom But generations many have faded away Even Jesus studied Bhudism in Kashmir Was eighty five when he died there one day Religious I found time wasters collectors Of unknowing souls never dying on a cross All comes down to wealth greed organized No problems karma will be their loss After all said and done all were just families Those who were the captains of their soul All much the same as all families were then Since earliest days away back times of old There was as if a unuversal language then But since that time minds closed so tight Soul slavery became a hundred years later Writing bibles mans word not gods so right I saw lands oceans seas mountains valleys Ships made from straw camels horses too Was so many ways to travel had they then Country to country all under skies of blue But now those times are over gone for good As generations passed stories changed true People all were just that people minds open Greed and wealth lies written more than a few We are all here to only learn oppasites choices Like knowing right from wrong left and right If you know them you don't need religions A new born baby knows them day and night If one cannot do a good turn one don't do bad Treating others as you'd have them treat you If it wasn't for a good samariton doing likewise The story wouldn't be the one they call true Simplicity I love that word its right up there My insignificance in life my own invisability One can't walk both side of a barbed wire fence At the same time choices have to be made agree I'm older than so many right now no regrets Learned more than most would believe true Almost finished this class schooling so be it But old souls I adore each one of you terrence michael sutton copyright 2018
