Cries of life
Now Playing: Cries of life
In front of me screaming anger flames,
to the right horrendous pain bleeds;

To the left hideous neglect cries,
under me stands torturous creeds;

Above me flies death and slaughter,
their swords of protests tear at my heart,

while climbing thorn vines wrap me fast
taking delight while they rip me apart.

There is no escape from all of the needs,
no escape from the cries all around.

The unresting symphony knows not time
and its decibels searingly loud.

No one person can cut through clouds
of all life's bitter fruit rain.

The best you can do is press forward through
and fix what you can on your train.   (hulitoons)

Doors
Now Playing: Doors

I don't remember the first door

I opened, or why I even did,

but now I pace a new floor,
a room with other kids.

Like me we gather in this room,
this space we all do share,

staring at another door
that leads we don't know where.

When one of us approaches
they take the knob and turn...

they pass right through, close it up,
and never again return.

The rest of us we move around
and talk about the doors,

the first door then the other
mysterious to the core.

We understand the first door
presents another of our kind.

We understand the second door
leaves all the rest behind.

We ask the question, all us do:
One door magic, the other not?

both would seem to hold a truth
that all of us forgot.

If the first door is a miracle
the second must be too....

we don't recall the first one
the second we must walk through.

Maybe there's more beyond our room
on the other side of that....

and if there is.............
no wonder we don't come back!

If I was a 'god'
Now Playing: If I was a 'god'
If a 'god' I was
I'd confess my love

then tell my story,
fade from your glory:
__________________
I'm a terrible 'god'.
I own no rod.

I rarely sleep,
but I certainly weep,

from all your questions,
all your suggestions,

that nothing can fix
and no one can miss.

My brain's full of smog,
my memory just fog.

I am tired and weak
please let me sleep....
     I am tired and weak
     please let me sleep.....
---
I made all you need
and you are my seed.

Reach for the sun,
let rain over you run.

You'll find your way
given time, don't stray.

Answers to share
are everywhere.

Open your eyes,
reach for the sky.

Stretch out you ears
and you will hear

all the songs I wrote,
you'll know every note.

It's your world now
I taught you how.....

but I'm tired now, weak
please let me sleep.....    
     I am tired and weak
     please let me sleep.   (hulitoons)

fences
Now Playing: fences
Fences are designed
for all to climb.

They're senseless walls
that lock and bind.

They hold back the air,
They block out the sun.

They're blockade barriers
that hold back the run

for freedom of sight
and freedom to cry

what can really be seen
beyond the sky.

So no, I hold
no religious cue

I don't like fences
that block the view.

Not My Fault
Now Playing: Not My Fault

I have NO opinion,
I'm sticking to it

Have nothing to say
not going to pick.

Whatever's happening
is not my fault.

Not sticking my nose
into all that salt.

Not lifting a finger
left or right;

It's up to all others
it's NOT my fight.

*******

Oh help I've fallen
I can't get up

I need assistance
I've gotten a cut

Where'd everyone go?
here I lay

Alone all alone
help me I pray?

*********

They have NO opinion,
They're sticking to it.

They've nothing to say
not going to pick.

Whatever's happening
is not their fault.

Not sticking their nose
into all my salt.

Not lifting a finger
left or right.

It's up to me
to get up and fight.

No matter I've fallen
and can't get up

They give no assistance
no matter the cut.

*********

I ran when they screamed
though I knew where they lay

All alone, all alone

when I ran far away.

Finding Us
Now Playing: Finding Us
The more we talk
     the faster we walk,

the more we learned
     the more we yearned

to find the one
     then found there's none

that think like us,
     our hearts were crushed.

But then in time
     accept our mind

unique as one
     we learned the sum

of all we are
     is dust of star,

yet none alone
     and none a clone,

our colors are
    a blend of stars

God-sparkle fire
     lifts us higher!

Sleep
Now Playing: Sleep
When sleep eludes me I fight back
with fists I pound my pillows slack

My brain grows weary too much sight
please close my eyes to dreams at night.

Escape I need as all us do
shut the noise of worldly goo.

Let me glide an ocean's deep
and give relief to weary sleep..............!

The spider and the fire fly
Now Playing: The Spider and the Fire Fly ... Philosophy
The only philosophy I will trust ever, is not written by men but by what I see in nature, what I've observed over time, what I know as truth inside myself. Anything of an organized philosophy is to me, religious, has borders, fences, defined lines. As long as there are labels and definitions, no philosophy can be trusted, can never be free.

Last night I could not sleep so I came downstairs, had some milk and listened to the quiet. When I went back upstairs I saw a blinking light by the edge of a window. It did not fit with the blinking light of the AC or the steady lights of the cams I have up there to watch FuzzyButt when he moves over his ramps and plays. This one was blinking and blinking so I went to gather a flashlight, came back and saw it was a lightening bug (fire fly) that had somehow come into the house. It was struggling having been lassoed by one of my many spiders who was trying to curl it up in a web shroud.

I love my spiders and will not permit a single soul to kill any they see because spiders do take the insects that run amok, fruit flies, stink bugs, mosquitoes etc. But this time that screaming blinking light begged rescue so I moved the spider away and broke the lasso. I had to work hard and fast to remove the fetters to the fire fly's back feet which took some tedious time. Finally I was able to pick him up and release him to the outside again.

But I continued to be concerned about the loud screaming of his steadily blinking light....it will haunt me. I know my spider will find something else to hunt, catch and eat. And my spider is welcome here. But I also love the fire flies.

THIS is the philosophy I live by. Its borders are only defined by the moment.

Bee harvest
Now Playing: Bee Harvest
Topic: bees

I watched a bee, furry and cute,
whose speech to me was mostly mute.

All I could see were tiny green leaves
so what was he doing? I couldn't see.

I had to know so I leaned closer still
till all else around me was lost to my will.

The world became smaller and tighter to me
until I focused and could finally see,

Tiny green blossoms almost not there,
but a harvest of 'honey' the bee could share.

Teenagers, social media, and terrorism - the Globe does not recognize 'age'
Now Playing: Teenagers today
Topic: Teenagers then and Now

While Baby Boomers are retiring en mass daily, the Social Security trust is shrinking because there are now basically 2 working individuals on shrinking salaries now putting funds into the trust for every 1 individual collecting, and simultaneously those same working individuals are being pressed from the opposite side by teenagers who, like all teenagers before them are instinctively designed to rebel against authority, hate their parents, tirading that adults do not understand them because they are different from all who came before and know more about life than those who ever lived and are now living and are more savvy with technology including games, texting, posting, chatting, video taping and reserve the right to write music and lyrics that rake the souls of any gender not their own, any age not their own, any country not their own, any religion not their own, any perspective not their own and hold the right to say what they wish, when they wish, to whomever they wish over the entire globe while mistakenly believing they are protected by the age of minority from being prosecuted as an adult….. EXCEPT the globe does not recognize ‘age’.

To which I remind that while we felt the same surges at the same age, we were at least confined to smaller and safer venues, were more controlled by responsible adults around us….at least most of us were and a few still are. We were given enough rope to hang ourselves, yes, but thankfully that rope was a lot shorter before the globe became so accessible and small and this is what you have, so God Bless America (and forgive me, because it’s also hard to prosecute a senior citizen pressed into a senior moment with a failing brain - at least I can claim that):

Teenagers, social media, and terrorism: a threat level hard to assess

Authorities are leaning more toward zero tolerance of teenagers who fling around online threats about acts of violence or terrorism. As a result, what might have once merited a slap on the wrist may today result in criminal charges. ——continues at link
