Someone's knocking at my door
They're calling out to me
But I don't know who they are
Are they friend...  or enemy?
Are they here to make me happy?
Are they here to tip my boat?
Are they here to take me captive?
Or just trying to win my vote?

My door is shut, and locked
I've a second to reflect
A second to respond
With courage... or neglect

Yes, there could be danger
If I open up my door
If I open up my soul
To what could be in store

Chances are, it can be good
But life is only chances
I can be hopeful, helpful, and free
Or a person that Death romances

KNOCK, KNOCK

Who's there?
LOVE!
Love who?
Love Whoever Comes To Your Door.

Arrogant peacock
Preen your feathers you proud fowl
You'll be molting soon

He is in a rush
Clear his way, don't interfere
He might fall on you

Windswept heights above
Snowy peaks of grey granite
Majesty erodes

One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Any number will do fine
Because I can't count

cruising the highway
in a car out of control
gas tank on EMPTY
but the tires still roll
bugs on the windshield
bleary eyes behind the wheel
looking hard for something
to beg, borrow, or steal

what road is this?
where does it go?
i just passed a sign
it read, I DON'T KNOW

it must lead somewhere
is SOMEWHERE a place?
if SOMEWHERE is there
i'll stay in this race

but if all i'm doing
is throwing up dust
perhaps i'll pull over
rethink, and adjust

if i'm just wasting fuel
on a road without end
i could just turn around...
and start over again

How cruel is cruel?
How cruel can Cruel be?
How much can I stand
And still be me?

Thank God I don't know
I hope I don't learn
How it feels to be laughed at
While I wait my turn

My turn on the wheel
My turn in the cell
My turn at starvation
When Earth turns to Hell

It's happened to many
In numbers untold
The blameless and unlucky
The young and the old

I've heard the stories
I've seen the newsreels
The People being trodden
By Power's boot heels

I'll ask one who knows...
One who knows the pain
HOW CAN ONE KEEP GOING?
AND NOT GO INSANE

To live with your scars
And memories that remind
How Justice is forgotten
When Ambition is blind

We cannot restore
The Humanity lost
But one day let's hope
We'll value the cost

I'm a soldier for my nation
A patriotic male
I do what I should
Or else I will fail

Fail in the eyes
Of the people I know
Of the people I love
Who caused me to grow
-   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
It once seemed so fine
Kindergarten, first grade
I learned so much
As the path was laid

It's so easy to fall in...
To fall in to friendly places
Where you are accepted
On very a simple basis

"You're a part of our group
You must do as we say
And, work together
So YOU must obey"
-   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -

I heard the orders coming in
Headquarters was calling
Demanding my allegiance
But my confidence was falling

These plans never work out
But people don't stop trying
To be the absolute last person
On this planet...  to be dying

You say you love me
And I say the same
Are we being honest?
Or, just playing a game?

We've known each other
For so many years
We've laughed right out loud
And swallowed our tears

Suffered the trials
And reaped their rewards
That common experience
So often affords

We've said, "I Hate You"
Because we were mad
Then wept for the other
Because they were sad

How to explain this?
I still have no clue
But I don't care to live
If it's without you

Devotees of love
Do speak such syrupy words
But their teeth are bad

God, do you love me?
Holding me to your *****
Or, are you laughing?

Please reiterate
Are you speaking to me, Dear?
I forgot to hear

I have one belief
Uniformitarity
As it was, it is
