I loved you on SNL
My favorite bit by you was frequent flyer
You made Ghostbusters fun
You gave a great speech in Meatballs and Scrooged
You even made dieing funny in Zombieland
It's been 46 years of funny from you
Now it comes to find out you did something bad on the set of a movie
The men are just now having to have some consequences
Where in the past they just did as they pleased
Mostly getting away with bad behavior
Bill Cosby comes to mind
So does Kevin Spacey
And my old boss from Hardee's
I even have a few in my own family, one who died in prison from agent orange
One of the many atrocities of the Vietnam war
Abraham Lincoln once said
I do good I feel good, I do bad I feel bad, this is my religion
Apparently these guys flipped the script

The radio screaming in the squares,
Hypnotists in the public service,
Reports of stormtroopers
On Christian friendship,
A morphine addicted
At the entrance to heaven.
Later all of them flew downhill,
Listening to measured sounds;
Those who were hypnotized
And those who just slept.
An eclipse of mind
Reigned in the country.
The earth revolved in its orbit
But the conscience,
Lost by the country
Will not ever return
Again….

It saddens me, yes saddens…when I think back in my life
To the times when things were tough, yet there was still
Such joy…such hope…such happy thoughts.
We were a family then…caring, sharing, laughing, dancing, singing, playing, living
From day to day…in the moment…together.
But, as time passed by and our life’s direction changed, so did the separations
Become. Nothing obvious at first, creeping into our midst slowly and invisibly separating
Us, from each other, from being that ‘family’.

Nostalgia brings pain to my heart and tears to my eyes…so I try hard
To avoid her. Almost as soon as I smile when I hear a song, look at a picture, See an old acquaintance, the happiness leaves…Do I wish for the tough times again?
No, but for the joy of caring, sharing, laughing, dancing, singing, playing, living
From day to day…in the moment…together. Again.

We had our moments
Some good and some bad
Could we share a future
Against a world so mad
You and me were glad

Can we rewrite history
The one that got away
Is peace such a mystery
To hide what we betray
Can we catch a future

Where once was such hope
Peace that would last and last
The world too tired to cope
We were all so hungry
Coming out of the cold

Now we all must realize
Our future is really not ours
When all our freedom dies
So beware of all the lies
Truth is the greatest prize

Better to be slapped with dirt
Memory stained
heart broken
piece of soul taken away
want to forgive
To much pain
Beat me down
spit in my face
Verbally abuse
Up for the game
For the love of my beautiful blessing

Spring serene such a magic scene
Flowers in bloom blossoms on the trees
Drifting with the breeze spring serene if you please

As the clouds begin to form there will be a shower or two
The gentle breeze is still so warm
Spring serene and every moment is right on cue

I'll stand beneath a tree and here I'll wait
Suspense yet knowingly that soon the clouds will break
Spring serene what a lovely day you make

The brim of my hat and my shoes a little wet
The sun comes out I have no regret
There's a chance for a pot of gold would anyone like to make a bet

Yesterday we met for the first time, no not face to face...His voice like a snake charmer...I was so desperate for just a word to make feel like a desirable woman and oh boy did he have an arcenal...he kept firing them...my body began to get warm and felt like I was on fire...feelings that were dormant for years starting rear their head...my mind was telling me stop ...but now I was so close to edge...sheer joy and fireworks exploded...When it was over..chatter in mind began, how could you be so stupid...all I could tell myself ..it felt so good...then shame began...I was naked and I heard a voice ...call my name and asked.. Where are you..?? What have you done?? I replied Replied I donot know!! Today he called but I didn't answer...I am good for another couple if years. Made my repentance...Now I will focus on my soul once again.

Where there is air
there is a radio dial
I recall as a child
out in the country
tuning in Sydney 2SM
on our big aerial
for music seldom heard
at home, oh what a
mystery from foreign shores
it came. Rock, rock
Uriah Heep
Deep Purple
taking the teenager away.

These days I seldom listen
to the radio, even though
no visual is actually enticing.
Do you still?

She said no.
The whys do not matter.
Neither do I.
We are not together.
Neither Shakespeare
nor Schroedinger's Cat
can change her mind.
Neither can I.
She is beautiful.
I am alone.

Had you told me yesterday
I would not be waiting on tomorrows tears
The silence of your precious heart
Is still ringing in my ears

Such a distant goodbye
As you drove down the road
The smoke from your old car
Has left a giant scar as it strangled my soul

Now a man of solid blue
Is what I'll always be
Had you told me yesterday
Now I'll always remember that's when you turned twenty three

Tractor broke down in the garden
Clothesline on the ground after a strong wind
Had you told me yesterday
I would never see you again
