this time is dark and dreary why do i live it out? i’m in the dirt and dusty road what’s this life all about? i look up and it seems like miles ‘till i could reach the sky someone told me that i could go but i know it’s a lie but somethin’ says fly high butterfly come on, you won’t die fly high butterfly come on reach for the sky fly high butterfly come on butterfly fly fly high butterfly i feel that i can’t do it i wanna stay the same though this is hard and rough terrain to me it’s home i say then groundhog day it is again please stop it i implore the wounds need healin’ i am hurt can’t take it anymore but somethin’ says fly high butterfly come on, you won’t die fly high butterfly come on reach for the sky fly high butterfly come on butterfly fly fly high butterfly i crawl up to my empty shell i curl up inside i wait, i’m frightened, what to do? i feel like i will die i melt down into nothingness i cannot take the pain but something’s changin’ i wake up to see life once again cuz somethin’ said fly high butterfly come on, you won’t die fly high butterfly fly on up to the sky fly high butterfly come on butterfly fly i flew and saw the light i’m alive butterfly now i know that this is the life have the courage fly fly high butterfly ©2016janetaylor

I SWEAR TO YOU
Alam kong maraming patalastas sa buhay ko, Hindi naman yun ang mahalaga Kundi ang istorya, yung kabuuan. I know there's a lot of commercials in my life, That's not important But the story, the whole thing. Alam **** maraming sakit at saya sa buhay ko, Pero patuloy Mo pa rin akong sinusubaybayan. You know there's a lot of hurt and happiness in my life, But You're always there, monitoring me. Kapag hindi mo gusto ang mga nakikita mo, Pinapatay Mo ako o kaya lumilipat Ka sa iba Hindi dahil ayaw Mo na sa akin, Pero dahil hindi Mo kalooban ang eksena. When what you see doesn't please You, You're killin' me or simply changin' Your route Not because you dislike or hate me, But because it really isn't Your will. Pero hindi Mo ako iniwan Pinapansin Mo pa rin ako. Pinagtitiyagaan hanggang sa matapos ang eksena At muling aabangan. Ganoon pala ang pakiramdam Salamat sa importansyang inagkaloob Mo Kusa **** ginagawa ang lahat, Hindi ako perpekto pero hindi ko alam, Bat nandyan Ka pa rin para sa akin. But You never had left me, Your eyes were always on me. Pursuing me until the shifts and end of scenes And will still wait for me. So that's how it feels I thank You for the importance You're showing me It is Your initiative to do every thing. I ain't perfect but I still don't know, Why for me, You're still there. Salamat, Panginoon. Thank You, Lord.

Commercial
Give it all you got Only option left to choose Tip your cap Turn your back Throw up that deuce But, who woulda knew That clarity of concentration Comes from unexpected deviations From our anticipations Suddenly Shipwrecked Lost at sea Starin at that deep blue green Like, it's just you, And me And we are the masters behind these sails When our stories told It'll be the stuff of fairy tales The true master misses miserably alot What matters most is We take all our shots So this is my position Listen up I don't give a **** About you ***** Who don't give a **** You on the sidelines of the game What's it gonna take for you to lace em And step it up? I see you suckers pacin' Over self-made situations Like destiny isn't something we participate in But what if we switch stations Movin' makin' Anxious Amplification Got that body breakin' Beats to shuffle strutin' feet and Our music's the motivation Our life, our part Art over every evocation Trumpets triumphantly proclaim the pontification Sifting, shifting the breeze The time, they are a' changin' The rhythms's exquisite equations Derivative of internal escavated wisdoms Whimsical inquisitive exploration

Anxious Amplification
Relationship are rough, sailin’ the ever changin’ tides of emotion. They don’t come ‘bout easy, they require a lot of hard work! Some days be jolly! But sometime things don’t go yer way. Some days there’s a change in the wind, a change in the current, that goes against the riggins’ o’ yer ship an’ ye struggle, but that doesn’t mean yer ship is sinkin’! Don’t walk the plank now, just ‘cause the imminent Kraken of breakup and doubt is in hot pursuit o’ yer vessel! Like Dido, ye won’t be goin’ down with this ship, there’ll be no white flag! Are ye really going to let some bombastic baboons pillage yer lass? No yer not! Yer goin’ to drop yer anchor an' battle for that nigh uncatchable ship. But if ye be captured, a faith worse than Davy Jones' Locker, an' they say ‘walk the plank’ then you’ll walk that plank, but ye’ll cross the seven seas to meet them again! Storms they pass, with lil' damage, if ye just brace and stick it out 'Cos for the right ship, ye do anythin'

Piratical Advice
See him wasted on the sidewalk, in his jacket and his jeans Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile Once he had a future, full of money love and dreams Which he spent like they was goin' outta style And he keeps right on a'changin', for the better or the worse Searchin' for a shrine he's never found Never knowin' if believin', is a blessin' or a curse Or if the goin' up was worth, the comin' down He's a poet, an' he's a picker, he's a prophet, an' he's a pusher He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's ****** He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home He has tasted good and evil, in your bedrooms and your bars And he's traded in tomorrow for today Runnin' from his devils Lord, and reachin' for the stars And losin' all he loved, along the way But if this world keeps right on turnin', for the better or the worse And all he ever gets is older and around From the rockin' of the cradle, to the rollin' of the hearse The goin' up was worth, the comin' down He's a poet, an' he's a picker, he's a prophet, an' he's a pusher He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's ****** He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home There's a lot of wrong directions, on that lonely way back home

The Pilgrim, Chapter 33/ Kris Kristofferson
Squint scurried. From rooftop to rooftop, He skipped and he flipped as he Scrambled amongst the tiles, The blur of slate was his domain, As, through the haze of reckless speed, The slowly revolving City Did imprint upon his vision. So that as his sly lids descended Its outline he admired; Its screaming centre he desired. In the end even Squint cannot run forever. So he will slow, and shade his eyes, Catch his breath and gaze and sigh. And when he’s had his fill of the sights and the smog. Down he slides amongst the pipes Of better folk; of harder folk, Of those with Proper Names Like ‘Welder’ and ‘Melder’ And ‘Roland’ and ‘Fairer’. Names that came after a ‘Mr’, A ‘Lord’ or a ‘Sister’. Names that one Day he would have for his Own. For in the Glass City, Names were always changin’ hands. Squint. Not much of a Name, Even for one so young as he It would seem he would deserve A Name of much more worth Than simple, humble ‘Squint’. But Squint lived up to his Name. He may look young and full of fun, But crouch on a wall and you might just Be appalled to see that not a moment after Squint is left alone, his eyes will glitter. And if any Man’s flesh could ever express such malicious scheming, It was the writhing face of our humble Squint, Once his eyeballs set to gleaming.

The Stealing of Names - II
i breathe out & the world is calm. we are standing waves in the sea. i am a long distance, a collection of lip movements, and all associated aches. you were a fleck of snow i barely even saw, and the ensuing onslaught of winter. plans turn around, often; we stick no closer to 'em than our moralities- i knew what i believed, just some other day: i believed i could roll out of the feeling of wakelessness that i'd thought you endowed upon my eyelids. you were prying them open, though, and i was the one at force. "sleep, my fears and doubts", i would call to myself -round midnight- "sleep and you may escape, or somehow come closer to what you're not sure if you seek". but my plans, moralities and i, all ambiguous at best, changed. i can't pinpoint why. you said "maybe you can smell my dying, from all that way" i said i hoped not, that i could sense you but you just couldn't tell you were flourishing. in the heat, i would make out daydreams like dialogue, spread sense like contrails: seemingly cohesive monuments to my bearing, left out to dissipate. snowfields on sunlit afternoons. but you, you you you you you, you stay heavy-stuck to the ground through cycling seasons. variation, only nondecreasing patterns in my everyday thought. inconsistence, only meaningful or meaningless. no pain, just ache all the same. finally, in month's transitions, i found meaning (or its absence) and realised each was a facet of the other. that all facets were tiny jewels, set into the world, puzzle-piece mirrors set just. right., to reflect the gleaming bright pearl inset upon the other side of our tiny universe, each light another stroke of your portraiture, and i found longing: to find the unknown, through all things ordinary. and you were, at once, more than a question-mark and the statement of my circles through days. you were the taste of waking, without sharp slice of reality. you were a mirror, hung in front of i, also reflecting; and i saw eternity unfold in us each. you were, and are still, peace on the shoreline. and i was, and am still, drowning, but i can make out sand on the horizonline. so, i'll just keep afloat, if you can do the same. so, i just won't go changin', shine brighter with each passing day. smile.

Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. - Bob Dylan

congrats Mr Bob Dylan on winning Nobel Prize
Used to tell 'em not to cut my hair too short, When I was young-old, Nowadays I just tell him cut it short, so it Spikes...Yikes! Makes me realize, Vanity is one of my Oldest friends, And also, one of my Oldest enemies. I like Bob Dylan's songs, Like him better these days, When younger voices cover him, And I hear his word-songs differently. Oh I love to laugh, Especially at myself, Silly boy in the mirror, Who the heck are you Grandpa? I am, The Times They Are-A-Changin' Nowadays, I'm  growing down

Growing Down: Used to tell 'em not to cut my hair too short
"O son, hark ye to the rainbird's call." Said father to son as the golden light spilled out the fireplace, casting their backs into darkness. "O son, hark ye to the rainbird's call, for when the rainbirds are a-comin' the times are a-changin." Son's wide eyes soaked in the golden fireplace light and the sound of father's voice. "O the rainbirds, they's a-comin'. They's call ain't like the call of no other bird. Yer a familiar with the warblings and the cawings and the baying's and the singing's of other birds. The rainbird, he don't sound like that. When the rainbird a comes a callin', you best be knowin' his sound. For he don't warble or caw or bay or sing, on no, he don't warble or caw or bay or sing. He's a makin' a different sound all together. O the rainbird, when he comes a callin' you'll a-know its him." Father puffed long on a clay pipe, his voice accompanied by the sounds of a thousand night critters a-haunting the outside world with their chitin wings and nightmare fur and ebony eyes, shining through the night. O yes, father puffed long on a clay pipe. "Son, when the rainbird calls. He drowns out the other birds, ya wont be hearin' no warbling or cawin' or bayin' or singing. When the rainbird a-opens his beak, all ye hear is a marked silence from the other birds. O they is still singing, mind you they is still singing, but that ******* the rainbird, he dun drown them out with his silent call. Son. That is how you know the rainbird's callin'." The golden light kept a-burning, and the fire was a-crackling as the night was a runnin' over the valleys skies. And father kept a-talkin' and his pipe; he kept a-lightin'. "Son, that is the sound of the rainbird's call. He don't call much round here in the valley, but when he does, you hear the times are a-changin'. And when the rainbird sings, o son! When the rainbird sings! He BELLOWS! And he SINGS! And the valley will shudder with his song. When he sings, the valley will shudder and the darkness will come, for he be callin' on all dem other rainbird's. And they be comin' and the sky will darken like night and they'll a come, like a cloud, they'll a come. And they's flappin' wings will a-shake and a shudder the valley, and they'll a **** lightning and his brethren, his brothers will a-light down and they be filling the valley with their rain and their **** and the times will be a changin. Oh they be a changing." Son's ears heard the tale of the rainbird that father told him, son believed the tale father told him. He believed, for the night birds did suddenly fall silent all through the velvet darkness outside the shack, and the air was a markedly different thing from what it was before, and the fire sputtered as the rainbird called. It sputtered…it sputtered…it sputtered.

We are a bad design For example; A vain person disgusted with the same person in every reflection What insane being had the unmitigated gall to be insertin' that complication into a person Self-deprivation an infection of a mind nurtured from inception Do I even need to mention the who, what, where, why and when of my formation ...I've heard it said over and over again... It's the creator of all creation, although I don't know where they're getting their information I've read Genesis through Revolutions over and over again, no revelation A costly salvation, so much rejection for every little infraction Never seen an open invitation with so much expectation ...not a single one of us are getting in... We're designed to sin due to his lust for "discipline" lookin' down at the chaos with a menacing grin A master of manipulation, the "do what I say not what I do" origin If he's who we're based on then he's who the worst of you see in your reflection "God is good" should be turned into a question though I understand the hesitation ...I know the fear it's based in... Not even a good god adaptation, parts of old religion taken and added to your own doctrine Each page of "his words" a contradiction of the last no matter the translation It's always been, it's not just now going through a mutation Under face value it's basic power retention, not somethin' they'll be changin' ...you're in for a rude awakenin'... Be smart, search your mind not your heart, that's only for circulation It's lifespan based on repetition, same mission as the Reverend and fellow brethren This whole things a set up, a con, a lie that people won't stop spreadin' And if the threat of eternal damnation is the only thing keepin' you from sinnin' then listen ...those morals are set by an immoral faction... ©2023

Keep it real son. Wednesday. Looking of into the sunset now.All ****** up getting up for the down-stroke.Sweat  of my brow. Feel me NOW ? Take a deep breath blow out slow. If you dont tell it then the devil wont know. Thursday. Gettin closer to shore,Go for your backstroke cause yer starting to fade.  In through the mouth and out through the nose focus your gaze on the circling crows? Crows ? Friday. Ah snap yer ends came up short. Tax man just waxin yer *** Ghoulish?. Foolish. Some ends might not meet. Sat-Day. Not so fat day. Pullin pocket lint by 6.PM.Chump changin. is changin your mind.

Come gather ’round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You’ll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’ Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won’t come again And don’t speak too soon For the wheel’s still in spin And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’ For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin’ Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’ It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin’ Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don’t criticize What you can’t understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin’ Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand For the times they are a-changin’ The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin’ And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin’

The times they are a changin... ( written and sung by bob dylan) lyrics
A second ago I was 1 hour younger, I remember it well. The few gray hairs that I have accumulated atop my head, were not there pas' a moment, This wrinkle in time adding yet another wrinkle to my brow, I have become wiser for it. My innocence of youth has been unfairly taken, Oh how I long for the days of yestersecond. I remember the clock set back to maybe a millimeter, my prostate was not quite this large, And congress with my wife seemed to last for hours, but now mere minutes leaves me spent. We used to jump into bed and sleep in the **** seems just an instant ago, but now The coldness of aging has us encased in flannel pajamas, we sleep dreaming of yestersecond. I awoke this morning to a brighter outside, the early birds singing, off kilter, unfamiliar; Not synchronous at all with my hot cup of Kona, I scratch my chin anew with stubble. For in such a short time, the moon waved forlornly goodbye, the sun bid faintly hello. Mr. Meowgii, my cat, chasing the birds outside, thankful for the passing gift of yestersecond. My kids, now practically grown, (9 & 13 +60 minutes) I envision car keys being handed over, Challenges to my authority, relationships of their own, with the passage of this long hour. "For The Times; They Are A-Changin" - Dylan -, though now for a clock he would sing. A hiccup in the fabric of the space time continuum, indigestion of memories made I search. Looking forward, come October late fall, when we all can regress, yet again, Reclaiming what we have lost, one hour from yestersecond. -----ChawzzyScript

Daylight Savings Time
A second ago I was 1 hour younger, I remember it well. The few gray hairs that I have accumulated atop my head, were not there pas' a moment, This wrinkle in time adding yet another wrinkle to my brow, I have become wiser for it. My innocence of youth has been unfairly taken, Oh how I long for the days of yestersecond. I remember the clock set back to maybe a millimeter, my prostate was not quite this large, And congress with my wife seemed to last for hours, but now mere minutes leaves me spent. We used to jump into bed and sleep in the **** seems just an instant ago, but now The coldness of aging has us encased in flannel pajamas, we sleep dreaming of yestersecond. I awoke this morning to a brighter outside, the early birds singing, off kilter, unfamiliar; Not synchronous at all with my hot cup of Kona, I scratch my chin anew with stubble. For in such a short time, the moon waved forlornly goodbye, the sun bid faintly hello. Mr. Meowgii, my cat, chasing the birds outside, thankful for the passing gift of yestersecond. My kids, now practically grown, (9 & 13 +60 minutes) I envision car keys being handed over, Challenges to my authority, relationships of their own, with the passage of this long hour. "For The Times; They Are A-Changin" - Dylan -, though now for a clock he would sing. A hiccup in the fabric of the space time continuum, indigestion of memories made I search. Looking forward, come October late fall, when we all can regress, yet again, Reclaiming what we have lost, one hour from yestersecond. -----ChawzzyScript

The Man in the Moon will be leavin’ soon Officially, he retired. But Polaris and some other stars Are saying he got fired The Man in the Moon would never leave Of his own volition. Management, cutting back on costs, Is phasing out his position. His quarterly reviews have not been going very well, They say he isn’t any good with change. When he gives his full attention, he seems to do ok, But lately he’s been acting kind of strange, His bosses claim he sleeps all day. And on cloudy nights, he stays away, (It’d be age discrimination if they said he’s getting old) So they say that he won’t listen and won’t do as he is told. They say because he has seniority, That he resents authority, Won’t show his new boss how the job is done, And in their final summary, out of ten, they gave him three, Said that he doesn’t hold a candle to the sun. But those of us who know his work Know he would never, ever shirk Responsibility, or jobs that must be done - At night when he works overtime, Countless souls look up to him, but At night they’ll never, ever, see the sun. If The Man in the Moon is told to leave Our lives will be amiss, So I took a poet’s initiative To make management a list: Reasons Not to Fire the Man in the Moon Who will watch young lovers kiss? Who will push and pull the tides? Who will occupy the space Where The Man in the Moon resides? Who will tell the farmer when it’s time to plant his field? Who will lead the eclipse when the sun needs lunar shield? Who will be the subject of songs and nursery rhymes? Who will notify the werewolf when it’s his changin’ time? Who will calm the sailors after stormy nights at sea? Who will make a silhouette of an owl in the tree? Who will light the children’s path each All Hallows’ Eve? Who would raise vampires from their coffins Were The Man in the Moon to leave? I ask these questions with a plea Knowing that, if it were up to me And I had the power to blunt the cutter’s knife, We’d leave the Earth and Heavens as they’ve been for all these years, And The Man in the Moon would have his job for life.

The times they are a changin', Algorithms are modern cupids Generated and perfected by... Matchmaking computer whizzkids. Log-in details now the key to love, Name, gender, age and location Algorithmed and matched to... A potential subject of affection. But I met my wife on a drinking spree, On the dancefloor and on a mission Wine and music combining freely... Generating the perfect alco-rhythm.

beat poet the lines, the times they are a changin' entropy of empathy the anthem won't explain it the world just keeps on turning and warming up the globe nations of hate hotter than warheads hate ain't what they pay us for be a boss but don't be bossy, boxing in a corner lot everyones a leader leading no one supply and demand spinning pulsar-fast economies based on wars collapsing under peacetime without fires the lobbies smothered fighters beat poet the lines, the times they are a changin' entropy of empathy the anthem won't explain it inflation cannot haul us up here at the bottom of the heap can't even afford the beep beep that tells us what's wrong in our hearts medical bills ticking higher numbers than volumes of get-well cards we're under attack our changing family pact beat poet the lines, the times they are a changin' entropy of empathy the anthem won't explain it spoken word, short form bytes from sharpened canines written word, formatted to the dimensions of our icons glittering oh one around us in the haze our might in roaming-charged clouds of war you can burn the papers ban the books we weren't writing in your margins anyway our beat is undrummed, uncensored by you language we took, righteous and true and the ideas we kept to hurl out our aim would be true shout now aim for us, beat poets beat poet the times they are a changin'

Who Do I Read
Skipping class, ****** off his *** Never showed and never passed Teacher was teachin' it But Dylan never needed it, Writ to his own beat And now he's free wheelin' it On down the road A heavy moss laden load Sixty-one routes And that stone keeps a-rollin', The times keep a-changin' The river keeps flowin' Rainy day women And legalized growin' Bob cantcha spare, A nickle or rhyme? A solid gold medal, Nobel poet sublime? Sing us a song Jingle jangle along The Luckiest Wilbury In the Wilbury throng Singin' so right It must be wrong Keep doin' your thang You'll never get gonged
