So you're not rich? got nothing to show
for your life, but what did you sow?
Children who grew to be,
proud for anyone to see,
No monetary life? filled with strife?
Just tenderness and good direction,
Won't be sent to a place of correction!

What do you think that keeps people here?
The inherent fear?
The wanting to go on?, keep singing their song?
In the face of adversity, who would you be?
Afraid to die?, afraid to live?,
With nothing to give, could you resist?
To end it all, would you be missed?
Is it brave to live through strife?
Continue on and live that life?
Or leave with grace, this empty place,
Tis a question only you can face.

And all that it is and all it could be, is a memory,
A dream that exists then ceases to be,
There is no beginning, there is no end, for tomorrow
you'll be my best friend,
Then we start again, lose that memory, think it's all
new and wonderfully free,
Creativity being, all new what we're seeing, still afraid
and unaware, not knowing it doesn't matter, no need
to care!

Secret intelligence from the survelliance "mast",
shows life cant continue,
it's growing too fast, ozone layers, emissions from cars,
carbon footprints, it just can't last,
The earth is heating up all too soon, the ice cap
is melting, it's not even June,
What did we do to cause this disaster?, are we the reason
it will be over faster?
The only way (they say) to save this planet, reduce emission,
ask for permission, don't take it to heart, you JUST can't
FART!

Who decides?, who hides?, who becomes the leader?. Who becomes the feeder?
Who creates the fear?, Someone near?,
Who knew?, not me or you?, who knew?
Who knew that we'd be here?, who knew?, who shed a tear?
No one knew, this lasts for eternity, never ends, so lets be friends.

I really don't like the way you think, I really don't like your granite sink,
I really don't like your taste in food, I really don't like your precious mood,
I really don't like what you say, I really don't like everyone else must pay,
I really don't like that it is true,
I really don't want to be like you.

We grow old, we get wise,
But still we join those who dies,
We give direction to the young,
don't sing a song so well sung,
But if they agreed and followed suit,
in the end we'd all be mute,
For nothing would change, nothing be new,
not for me or not for you.

Thunder roars and red sky flies and blinding lights and something dies when all that was has ceased to be the end of life how it used to be when loss and grieving become the norm looking for heaven and finding hell, is this real who can tell, a nightmare that never ends goodbye my life goodbye my friends.

Tomorrow will always come after today ends
Tomorrow WILL be with or without you or me
Today is where we are at right now
No guarantee of tomorrow, no how
So its strange to me and strange to see
Such importance placed on what may never be.
All there is...is now, mother, father, daughter and son
Be united as one, no second chance to start anew
The time is now, for me and you.

Tomorrow becomes today and yesterday fades away, so the present is how we exist, there's no other way, there's nothing to resist, we can't bring back the past, and the future is not meant to last, for it suddenly becomes the.............. past.
So, exist in harmony, for now we are free to.................be!

I HATE when people tell me money does not grow on trees, its so annoying,
I KNOW MONEY DOES NOT GROW ON TREES, I looked!
But where does it grow?, not anywhere you or I know, tis in the coffers of the
rich and powerful, in foolish hands, in foreign lands, with no one who cares,
no one who dares, to lead the way, ultimately it's you and it's me who pay!

Honesty and integrity are the ideal of what we should be, truthfulness and clarity are what we should see, are we a minus or a plus, we won't make a fuss, I think that minus may win the game, I don't know, are we all the same?
