Well, I've read the papers and I've watched the news, decided this is all a ruse, we're in
constant motion, nothing we can change, or rearrange, what's going to be is what's going to be, But we still think that we can change the you and the me, and the new generations cannot see, that they're not new, that they're not you and they're not me, just a younger creation, with a different imagination, and they feel unique, searching and striving for what they seek, But they KNOW they are different, and they KNOW they can be a better version of you and me, UNTIL they find they are just the same, lost forever in this never ending game.

I know that you know what I do and where I go,

I know that you know my schemes and my dreams,

I know that you know who I am inside,

I know that you know when I laughed and when I cried,

I know that you know just what tomorrow will be,

I know that you know the real me,

And I know that you know ...............that I know!

I know there's something more, I know that we go on, perchance in a different form,

I know there's those that trust, in a God, and they feel they must,

I know that their belief, helps them in their life, brings them relief,

I know that some don't know, don't care, where they are or where they go,

I know that some believe, that we are nothing and then we leave,

I know I will never know, who we are or where we go, until it ends,
and then hopefully, we will still be friends!

A strange light enveloped me, mystically, whimsically, suddenly,
and all that was and all that could be, was there for me, for
me to see,
But it was not just for me, and not just personally, it was the whole world laid
bare, and it was in my care,

I could feel the suffering, I could feel the pain, from everyone
that had come and gone,

Every thought and every lie, and every mournful tearful
cry,

I knew it all was a part of me, and everything was reality,

And when I awoke, it was crystal clear, that we are all one with nothing
to fear.

I think life's unfair,

It's not right what's happened to me,
I have nothing to complain about,
There's no one to see,

I'm happy every day, I'm happy
in every way,
I'm missing out on this misery,
I hear about,

And it's all because you are here,
I don't have pain, I don't have fear,
and all because you are near,

I guess I'll never know, until we part,
it's then.............I'll have a broken
HEART!

I think that life does change you,
Turn you into something new,
It can be good, it can be bad,
It can be happy, it can be sad,
But in retrospect as we look back,
It was always going to be,
Growing into the you, growing
into the me.

WAR!!!!! is not the way, yet it's in our history, from tribes of old, to modern day, it seems to be that we cannot see, a new design, its always the same time after time, civilizations have ended before, probably thousands, we are destined to be just one more, there is no hope for humanity for the blind cannot see, there's only one way for it to end, a clean slate, for its just too late, to change, our history, that is drowned in misery, so a new beginning is our destiny, we will end ourselves eventually!

There is not a song or a voice that's right, that can help you along or show you the light, unless you want to believe that it's true, that there's a God who loves you,
So, it really does not matter, religion or race, the troubles and strife that you face, you are a part of something, that is the human race, good or bad, happy or sad, it's the way we are, where can we go? and how far? how long? and is this our Swan song?

Working out a solution, I've come to the conclusion tomorrow will be,
There's no need for discussion, I'll just kill you or you just kill me,
Either way tomorrow will be, just open your eyes so you can see,
When we are gone, won't be that long, the world won't end, just because
we do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,my friend!

The young, what can you say? naive and innocent, and damm frustrating, no sense of life, always rushing in, and they know it all, until they fall, and then they ask for assistance, they show (this time) no resistance, so we help them up, (again) and help them on their way to this video game of life they play, until reality comes to call,
it's then they grow up,................. just like us all.

And tomorrow will be, oh yes, with or without you or me, its strange to see, such continuity, but that is the way, come what may, when playtime ends, it's goodbye my friends.

Can you live without expression? Can you be,,,,,, alone,,,,, not for eternity, but if you were locked within yourself for a time?, then what would you see?, reality?, defined by who? you or me? would it be then, you would feel,,,,, REAL.
