Vision Of Peace

A Vision Of Peace is what we long to see….,
Seems our hearts keep praying…, for what may never be….,
Yes, we want to end the misery of war and devastation…,
But I believe the key to peace is a solid education.

The primitive and ignorant are like a raging cancer….,
So suppressed and depraved....,
They feel fighting and killing is the only answer….,
The Vision Of Peace is a distant wish of enormous size….,
One that we can only hope and pray someday our world will realize.

Proud Old Glory

I am the blood, I am the soul
I am the essence of liberty, so bold
I am the heart, I am the life
I am the dream and the vision, all that's right
I am the hope, I am the truth
I am the faith and the spirit of the aged and the youth
I am the warmth, I am the breath
I am the peace and the honor, life and death
I am justice, I am love
I stand for freedom, and salute our brave
I serve my country with pride
Old Glory is my name, God made this land my home
I am the proud flag of America
I am the proud flag of America.

Christmas Apocalypse

One winter’s night while dreaming…..,
Of a world so pure…..,
I could feel the confidence…..,
That made me so sure…..,
Then suddenly I woke up…..,
Careful not to scare the kids…..,
Feeling the greatest revelation…..,
It was a wondrous sensation…..,
While I whispered with my lips…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..,
And I hoped God could hear me…..,
Cause my heart was doing flips…..,
As I said it again and again…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..,
Christmas Apocalypse…..! ! !

There’s Poetry In Writing A Winning Lyric' (And Great Satisfaction In Writing A Fine Poem)

I believe that if you can speak, you can write….,
So almost anyone can be a lyricist or a poet too…! ! !
Of course there’s talent involved…,
And some are blessed to have much more than others do….,
But if you can compose a letter, or hold a conversation….,
I feel you could write a song lyric or a poem….,
Now that doesn’t mean it’ll be top-notch….,
Or for that matter, even mediocre….,
But when you’re in a crowd or all alone….,
Try it…! ! !
Cause There’s Poetry In Writing A Winning Lyric….,
And Great Satisfaction In Writing A Fine Poem…! ! !

Hysterical Valentine With A Fraudulent Design

You're not too hilarious'., or even humorous'',
You don't communicate the truth, like some may think or say''..,
And so the world is fooled, as many are in the U S A''..,
They truly believe you're deeply honest'',
While you're being devious in a twisted, evil way''.,
Constantly deceitful'., but you'll never dupe me'..,
For I see right through your dubious identity''..,
Hysterical Valentine'', with a Marxist mind''.,
How we laugh at your lies etched inside every line''.,
You're a Hallmark Card with a divisive spine''.,
That's got our nation in deep moral and financial decline''..,
Hysterical Valentine With A Fraudulent Design''..! ! !

Twenty-First Century Romance

They check out your sign…., help you combine….,
While you’re taking a chance….,
In cyberspace, with virtual satin and lace…,
This could be the start of a Twenty-First Century Romance.

When Cupid takes aim…., it won’t be in vain…,
You’ll share the ultimate dance….,
With no firewall, you’ll have a ball….,
This could be the start of a Twenty-First Century Romance....! ! !

No matter where you are…, love’s magic creates a trance…,
From the heart of New York City to Naples, maybe even Paris, France.....,
This could be the start of a Twenty-First Century Romance….,
Yes, this could be the start of a Twenty-First Century Romance.

Electrified Romance

The shock makes me shake……,
When I’m in your embrace…..,
Sends me like a rocket into outer space…..,
Almost nuclear power…….,
A sensation I cannot erase……,
Thunder shakes me……,
As the passion takes me……,
And I don’t stand a chance……,
With this Electrified Romance……,
Can’t resist your magnetic charm……,
When we touch my heart sounds an alarm…..,
To run away, but I really want to stay…..,
Cause I’ve got high-voltage streaking through my veins…..,
As a Sensual Telepathy*** connects our brains……,
It’s an Electrified Romance……! ! !

(*** Sensual Telepathy, recorded by T.M.. (c) T.M Music, Inc.,2006.)
