Last Dance Ii
The hour grew late, band was getting tired
They played a slow waltz for the final tune
I asked my ladylove for the closing dance
As a glass ball flashed the empty ballroom
Arm ‘round slim waist, I held her tight
Floating on air, we soared ‘cross the floor
We let nothing spoil the magic of that night
“Heaven on Earth” our only metaphor
We twirled, laughed and ended with a dip
Stepped outside the club just past twilight
I drew her close and kissed her ruby lips
The Orb rose fast, bathing us in sunlight
Beloveds…
Cherish today, worry not ‘bout tomorrow
It’s yours to choose a day of joy or sorrow

Three Monkeys…plus One
First monkey covered his eyes and spoke,
“See no evil”...
By refusing to see and confronting evil
Victims are born of doubt, guilt and fear
Clear sight sheds light and illumines evil
Second monkey covered his ears and spoke,
“Hear no evil”...
By refusing to hear the voice of evil one cannot know truth
Truth is discerned by the heart and mind
Voicing truth creates a vibration that dis-integrates evil
Third monkey covered his mouth and thought,
“Speak no evil”...
Evil cannot manifest if one thinks before speaking
Fourth monkey opened his mouth and spoke,
“Do no evil”...
This was the wisest monkey of all

Fat
Walk any street in America, what do you see?
Fat women waddling
Fat men smoking fat cigars
Fat children munching fatburgers
Fat cars with fat tires
Why?
Could it be that someone wants it that way?
“Consumption is the basis of Capitalism”
Fat women go to gyms and read diet books
Fat men do nothing because they don’t mind belly overhang
Fat Children know what tastes good, not what’s good for them
Fat cars consume gas/oil and pollute
It’s time to stop letting FAT run the economy
It’s time to get rid of corporate fat cats
It’s time to get rid of fat politicians

Small Cog In A Big Wheel?
We're told;
One person is puny and has no power;
"Your just a small cog in a big wheel"
Cosmic-clock soon chimes the final hour,
When all create again, from hearts who feel
"Big plans" give way to "Simply doing"
For God/Mother Earth always provide
Jesus shall minister once more;
Whilst (out back) the crowd is booing,
He's learned by now;
"Take everything in stride"
"As the season turns, turns, turns"
After dry-chaff burns, burns, burns;
Renewal!
God's gift to everyone;
Father,
Mother,
Daughter,

Tenacıous Love
How can you tell my heart not to love?
When its nature will not have it any other way
A heart n’ love are meant to fit like “Hand in glove”
Please pardon my use of this old n’ worn cliché
As the most powerful emotion love is most tenacious
Bravely hanging on when other feelings fail
True love is bold, shameless n’ audacious
Loves the night song of the amorous nightingale
Come now beloved, take my steady hand
Let us explore where few souls have gone before
With love a vast universe is ours to command
With love ‘neath strong wings we’ll soar
God knows our love was meant to be
As we were blessed by His Authority

Love Reclaimed
If life were easy to let the world fall away
If it possible to toss all aside without delay
To let go of years and rekindle love’s flame
To once again our dormant love proclaim
I’d not hesitate nor cast a glance behind
To embrace the love that was once mine
Alas, duty holds us like rooted trees
To family/friends from which we cannot flee
Committed to God to make our choices wise
We’re not free as yet, to break such weighty ties
The world shall not fall easily away
Yet, with passing time there comes a day
I’ll be with you and you with me
When both of us have been set free

Promises...promises
He strode toward the podium
Confident n' broadly smiling;
As before...he spoke of change
For good folks like you n' me
Hollow words, distant n' strange
Sugared lies 'twas plain to see
He promised reform n' justice
Promised jobs n' lower taxes
Promised to hold banks accountable
Whilst Neo-Cons honed battle axes
He promised to work with red n' blues
Promised to repair bridges, highways n' streets
Promised to unite Muslims, Christians n' Jews
Promised to keep Zion nursing on U.S.A. teats
Promises...promises so carefully selected
False promises, that he may be re-elected

Obeah Healer
"Obiman" (a shaman) lives in Cuba;
Who can levitate and walk on water
Taught herbs n' healing by "Annuba"
A mermaid who gave him a daughter
Obiman's blood remembers "Mu"
Ancient homeland lost 'neath the sea
Volcanoes n' earthquakes left no clue
'Cept the highest peaks, Hawaii to Fiji
A few souls survived on "Easter Island"
Another peak of land above the waves
Living with stone sentries buried in sand
To despair n' isolation they were slaves
The magic of Mu in Obiman still thrives
In 100 years he's saved a thousand lives

Universal Reason
The universe is Divine Law
Indeed, a Reasonable Father
When you feel ungrateful
The shape of the world
seems mean and ugly
Make peace with Father
Then every experience
fills with immediacy
Love this, be not bored
Beauty constantly wells up like
the noise of a brook in Spring
Tree limbs rise and fall
their ecstatic arms
Leaves talk poetry together
making fresh metaphors

How To Defeat Anxiety N’ Stress
The World where we live is a mess
Earthquakes, meltdowns, and the like
Such events may cause anxiety n’ stress
So relax n’ chill-out, after a long hike
There’s still beauty in nature to be found
Mountains, meadows n’ lakes to explore
Go pitch your tent in a faraway campground
Life is short, so don’t hold back anymore
Befriend neighbors, you too often ignore
“I’m just too busy” is your flimsy excuse
You may find a treasure living next door
Go knock on their door quit being obtuse
Count your blessing, take nothing for granted
Live life to its fullest, before you get planted
