Difficult issues come up Tough stuff but It's a matter of opinion What is considered cumbersome What holds as momentous Isn't unanimous So why we waste our stamina Adding up damages with an abacus Flattering our judgements Undertaking solutions with sledgehammers To crack a nut Statutes and acts established but In backwards fashion Actions and practices reactive Don't have to act indifferent To have acceptance impassive Sadly bad things happen Must we act so indignant And dignified to gratify Individual resistance And erase and tear up Like grammatical errors Trying to categorize Like the encyclopedia britannica Pulling hair right out of our scalps To control outcomes But how come we make ant hills Insurmountable mountains.

Music makes life better. And for some of us, music makes living possible.
Luminescent
Demonstrating presence Readily comprehensive No exceptions Shedding any past pretensions Recommendation suggest That everyone in attendance Be exactly as they are No less, no more No foregone molds No forewarning be told The total unknown In every moment to behold Embrace it as it comes Grateful as it goes No labels bestowed No chasing novels No way better or inferior Not past, nor foreseeable Future that's fueling Your path through material Being a miracle Perspective isn't retrospective Let it be in acceptance Being is luminescence.
Meant to Be
You had to go through That which happened to you That trajectory was meant to be The need absolute Each avenues That you've traveled through On review the value Shrouds the palpable But do not doubt The amount you have Amounted to Mountain views The bountiful gaze you've made The traits accumulated To make great migrations With vibration to shake nations Or maybe just aid the change For a single gracious patron For the sake of creating The occasion for revelation.
Behave
Tend to rest on our laurels Like it's all moral To let forethought and cause Be orchestrated by our royals, Of oratorical and written history Our fore founders and traditions be Inexplicably Fixed rigidly, Little heeding to meaning Or purpose we just serve As servants surfacing With little to no coercion We all discern the rowboat Isn't propelled by it's own wake Awoken we hold sway The oarsman hold the pace, Keep it straight and afloat Know when to coast or start stroking The founders are foundering Letting the boat overflowing, We're sinking or capsizing Forecasters denied the rising Massive tidal wave Do we act rightly or behave.
mice & men
The heightened schemes Of mice and men The two species meet With equal means to an end The selfish needs To get the cheese And keep it Complete disregard for indecent Keeping what isn't ours With boundaries cowardly Shrouded we scour Reaping and devouring Outwardly spreading disease With negligent ease Our pedigree seems We're an identical breed.
Non duality
We live duality In our reality Backwards opposites Distracted cognizance It can't be that if it's this White can't be black Sad can't be bliss There's no passion as a passive pacifist Tragedy can only breed misery Sensitivity turns pity If you've lived with these griefs You believe a bit differently These hinderances we keep Intrinsically in everything To shelter our naive comforts Against uncertainty ascending Acceptability to what is Without measuring metrics Or separation, segregation Life is gray yet iridescent.
Productive for what?
You must be productive Plethora things you haven't done yet You bumbling unstructured bum Bottom bunk bed incumbent Hurry up and do something Anything in conjunction With motor functions Your borderline horizontally structured Uh uh, nope, not good enough Your putting up humble numbers You must muster the chutzpah You should be batting one-hundred This judgement sure helps doesn't it Impetus without rest Nothing like continuous thrust To nudge you over the edge
Silence is golden
All of humanities ills In our inability to sit still In tranquility, we feel the need To impede and fulfill relief Of tedium with instability Debilitating the stillness Like trying to instill peace By drilling heavy artillery Into the breeze Our vulnerabilities Are too much to will the need Of rest, to test our sensibilities Instead we fill the ease Ceaselessly we intervene But the beauty in music Is in the stillness in between Rhythm isn't rhythm Without the division of emission Into nothing but silence It's a big mix jambalaya You might be one To speak with a a silver tongue But silence is golden Priceless is solemness Only the lonely know it Like Orbison notioned How much the outspoken Could notice if they'd just hold lips For a moment only intermittently hold hush Inevitably unfold Whatever's closed will open up.
Respect Yourself 2
I've heard you can't get respect Unless you earn respect The reverse is just as correct When self-worth gets neglect You can't give respect When it isn't in you to give it It can be reciprocal But love lives within intrinsic The dividends aren't divvied Through difficult hard-living We all wither regardless So harness equanimity We've got equality Whether you like or not We're of this Earth plot We all rocking the third rock We walking in birkenstock Or whatever you trodden on Down-trodden or lost I regard you, let your guard drop Does not serve anyone Or anything Steadily make pedigree Develop empathetically If we respect ourselves collectively We get the temperament Of reverence for everyone Become one connectedness.
Loves worth the effort
Hope to cultivate An inner vocalization That stays outspoke towards hate In any form or shape When my own state gets Overstimulated and triggered I will be bigger than spontaneous Inclination to bitterness And dissonance with resilience To shame and malice ways Stay straight like balance beams Through the shadiest alleyways Retaliate against hate With geniality and grace Gratitude and praise Compassion passiveness passé How we proclaim treatment Seems to be based on how we treat each other With a little extra effort Might discover love unearthed.
