TV, Music, and destructive video games are poisoning the human mind
evil tools conducive to the escalating demoralization of mankind
Media chose to be even more sinister by overly dispensing fabrication
boosting ratings and personal desire for fame the obvious motivation

That Rap crap epitomizes degradation that negatively scares our youth
believing it's positive entertainment screams you're blind to truth
It's Ludacris how millions are made by nonsense not worth Fifty Cent
this junk induces thug like manner proving it's impact is pertinent

Who can deny that every generation seems to have less and less sense
this illiterate noise doesn't depict music but it's vile impact is immense
Like other so-called "artist" I too can be reckless when voicing what I feel
these days people are mostly FAKE but my belief is always keeping it real

Why is this life so very unkind
it's meaning impossible to find
Why do we choose to help evil thrive
care less and less if good stays alive

Why are humans inexplicably cruel
deception their most preferred tool
Why can't people be real instead of pretend
how does THE ridiculous become a trend

Why are the less fortunate cast out
human decency got lost no doubt
Why can't a broken heart easily mend
why must every beginning have an END

If Only I Could

Our pretzel world I'd completely turn around
faze out evil so perpetual good becomes sound
Any resemblance of wrong I'd change back to right
firmly stress sin denies entrance into the light

'Equality' would actually be actuality
and 'Justice For All' absolute reality
Eradicate poverty throughout Earths' population
not one would ever fall victim to starvation

Sensible laws guaranteeing bad people wouldn't last
crime inevitably becomes a memory of our past
War indubitably becomes obsolete
peace and love reigns not deceit

All pledge allegiance to honesty, compassion, and tolerance
every decision rendered must reflect common sense
This world's transformation a truly desirable place
one planet of humans committed to faith and grace

If Only I Could...

You made me crazy for you
how you make me feel seems new
Butterflies stir when you near
maybe love alerting it's here

Normal doesn't define emotions like this
I would surmise another level of bliss
Since being together I feel much more zeal
it's inexplicable the way you've made me feel

Like a box of chocolates you're "oh so sweet"
owner of looks that accelerate my heartbeat
Like elusive jewels you're truly a rare find
a woman that epitomizes class and kind

You're absolutely my desire come true
"reason" I yearn to wake each day next to
From you I got more than I ever dreamed of
with you I want to be forever my love

On 9/4/2006 a one of a kind inspiration gone long before his time
what and how it happened I can only call a truly senseless crime
The beloved 'Crocodile Hunter' taken in such an improbable way
Steve wouldn't have dreamed his demise being the barb of a Ray

An avid leader in the preservation of all Earth's creatures
indubitably the epitome of Mother Nature's teachers
His desire for doing good conducive to him becoming a star
he lived life with more zeal than most humans by far

Whatever the task his enthusiasm never changed pace
heartfelt reward always clearly visible on his face
He made us laugh, occasionally even stirred a heart-string
sharing his world with us was certainly a passion thing

Danger Danger was his job and nobody was more intrepid
no one possibly loved what they do MORE than he did
After learning their biggest fan will no longer be near
the Animal Kingdom collectively let go a Crocodile tear

I most admired Steve because like me he too was real
a true blessing and surely that's how all who love him feel
I often think of his widowed wife and the kids who lost dad
no doubt they'll gracefully carry on the vision that made him glad

It shall linger long why such misfortune came to be
thankfully we can still relive and adulate the work of he
With each thought of his passing hearts of fans and family bleed
not before nor again will their be another Steve... guaranteed

I love to see a child cry...
When it's tears of joy pouring from their eyes...
I love to see a child die...
When it's laughter that causes the dying inside...

I love to see a child in pain...
If it's just from the loss of their new toy plane...
I love the sound of a child's screams...
When they wake up realizing it was just bad dreams....

I will cradle you with my comforting arms...
Keeping you safe from the pains and the harms...
I will wash away all your pains of the day...
No matter what you may do or may say....

I would surmise every human searches for a special someone
a life partner with whom you can share every happiness
Sadly so many wind up alone when all is said and done
heartache a certainty at the end of every ugly relations mess

Getting hurt repeatedly is likely to make one feel inferior
your even likely to question if that thing called love is reality
We eventually turn to focusing on body parts instead of interior
at this point it's time we seriously reassess our morality

The build-up of pain can become impossible to alleviate
the reasonable doubt you shoulder can't help but show
If a good one came along you'd be apt to hesitate
understandably you're now reluctant to let feelings go

Cease searching for what is increasingly arduous to find
reestablishing trust and peace of mind we must first acquire
Desperation most always results in settling for the wrong kind
when least expected you'll bump into that special someone you desire

I can't stop being in love with you
have we actually reached through
Our vow I believed could never die
you forever I committed to stand by

In love you no longer show
but passion hasn't died I know
We should continue to try
don't make us say goodbye

I can't Imagine my life without you
their must be remedies we can pursue
What wilted we can again make grow
Please 'Let's not let us go'

Give us more time to make things right!
our only choice isn't giving up the fight
The love we shared defined true blue
we can turn us back into brand new

The regret of losing one another could come to be
we need be certain before letting each other go free
I'm more than willing to do whatever it takes
'let's not let us go' for goodness sake's

Only with you am I able to feel bliss
let's start over with another first kiss

"LIFE IS A GIFT" according to some alleged deity
what god gives a 'gift' wrapped in atrocity
At some point everyone must question that concept
how could you not considering life's mostly inept

If life's some great gift what happened to mine
maybe it wasn't meant for me to be in that line
My heart constantly bleeds due to human sorrow
for too many life's supposed gift rings hollow

People suffer needlessly on this god-forsaken Earth
ask them what their 'Gift of Life' has been worth
How about "Gifts" born physically and/or mentally unfit
their life wouldn't qualify as a 'Gift' you must admit

I didn't willfully choose to become some pessimist
this pathetic excuse of a world tops reasons list
I'm cognizant this life was a so-called blessing from above
a REAL LOVING GODS 'gift' would've been all about love

Obviously 'Gift' has different meanings because life's no present
ONE absolute about our existence is it's unequivocally unpleasant

Alone I sit
staring at the cold grey sky
All around
winter's handiwork
so silent
so beautiful
fills the land

Drifting lazily upwards
pillars of smoke
rise ghost-like
from the chimneys
On the ground below
the freshly fallen snow
so quiet, so fragile
instils deep peace
within my soul

Standing alone in the distance
a church steeple
points majestically towards the sky
in silent testimony
of its God

Nothing stirs -
the sparrows have gone to bed
this cold winter's evening
dreaming pleasant dreams
of tomorrow's spring
when new life will take form
in Nature's world
or perhaps they dream
of yesterday's summer
when they flitted happily
from tree to tree
dancing in the sunshine
so happy to be alive
and free

Yet dream on
my little friends
cold winter must reign
a little while longer
still blessing the earth
with her deep silent beauty
--- as now the snow begins to fall
once more
