Tears falling shame hide
For the American child unaware
Strangers stealing their meat
American child hopeful by birth
Unaware the opportunities gone
Schools are robbed education given to another
American child where is your mother
We let the wolf enter where gate should be
American child what politician stands for thee
You been abandoned buy those voted to rule
And have just taken from you
American child would it be enough to cry for you?
Whisper your words
Sounds carry softy
When anger forsaken

Heavens staircase
Legends often spun
Today’s cosmic song

I heard a program a few days ago about how back in the ancient days the Milky Way was considered a Stairway on which the departed were transferred from the Earth to the great heavens above. So when I got this picture of it and then the thought of seeing things through different eyes I thought you know that’s really so true just a moment in time ideas and Concepts change and sometimes it doesn’t take but a few seconds.
A world full one activity after another
Little time to ponder nor wonder observed
Lost in time to those around seen but invisible
Staring at words written still unseen
People seeming known but never friends
A pond fish among the sharks
Hold on to the inner heart of hope

Against soft sands

Wandering along in the dusk of day
Searching, searching, searching
Not finding nor understanding for what there is to find
Walls,barriers rise up daily before me
Still the search continues with every sense possible
Voices battering haggered in tone
Still I continue on

Trapped inside
Thoughts tumble around air
Refuse to part
Life by a Bayou
