Mission Statement

I’ve worn so many hats
donned so many uniforms
performed so many functions since my birth
that this is where I’m at
about to take the plunge, I guess
and find out what a blog like me is worth

to anybody out there who might understand my plight
I’ve seen too much to look away from things that just aren’t right
must take a stand…I will…for sure, I will not live a lie
not when precious moments of my life might pass me by

so here I’ll blog about how life is what we make it
here I’ll blog about the bullshit that I see
here I’ll blog to say now shake it baby, shake it
and soon you’ll see it too…why yes, I tell you this for free

because I care…I swear by God I do…so I pray don’t surf away
I care…enough to tell you true…about some subject every day
yes I care…about the good in you
how I love to see it shine
and that’s why you might like a blog like mine

my goal is Peace on Earth, you see, before my day to die
and God, that’s one big subject worth addressing…so I’ll try
to mediate all views and parties present here and now
that’s the only moment really matters anyhow

I’ve met so many men
known so many women
that humans tend to look the same to me
all full of fears and foibles
in spite of faces pasted on
according to who they might think to be

is there anybody out there who can hear me loud and clear
who knows it’s up to me and you to wipe away all tears
the God in me who sees the God in you is in my soul
reaching out through me to you…if I might be so bold

so here I’ll blog about a trail of dirty money
here I’ll blog about the brotherhood of man
here I’ll blog and though I know it might sound funny
the gaps that come between us are what I intend to span

because I care…and know that you do too…when and where you find the way
I care…since my perspective grew…till I’ve found I have to say
I care…about the good in you
how I love to see it shine
and that’s why you might like a blog like mine.

Isn't it funny...1

Isn't it funny how easy it is to overlook the consequences of the lives we lead?

I'm Here

First we spew forth to a slap on the butt
Notice at once that the doctor is nuts
Scream to high heaven, “What’s going on here?
Put me back in…or I’ll burst into tears!”
Until, there’s the nipple…okay, not so bad
Learn how to be then, from Mommy and Dad
Lost in a maze, soon, of ancient design
Searching for something that few seem to find

I’m here, we yell, I’m here
What’s next?
What’s up?
Hey…nice to meet you…tell me what you fear
And I’ll tell you, “No reason too!”
I’d like to make it clear
I’m here
I’m here

Next we get taught how to march to the beat
Of whichever dumb drummer we happen to meet
In the society we come to know
There we are now, all tied up in a bow
Till something don’t jive and we need something more
Some seek the spirit…Some go to war
Thinking more things will make up what they lack
Not really all there they state it as fact
I’m here!
