For Those Who Blindly Pick Their Foes
This is suggested for those,
Who blindly pick their foes.
It is recommended,
BEFORE moving ahead...
With an unconsciousness,
Be sure the chosen foe...
Isn't one protecting your back.
The results can prove to be,
Emotionally devastating.

Enjoy Every Moment Of It
You picked with me a fight.
You thought would be easy for you to win.
Was it my appearance,
Or the sound of my voice?
Or was it my occupation...
My selection of choice.
Whatever made you decide,
To pick with me this fight.
I'm going to ensure you enjoy every moment of it.
And when I get through with you,
Guess which one of us will be sleeping peacefully,
At night?
I'll give you a hint...
It will not be you.
You've chosen just what I like to do,
With fools using unconsciousness...
As a means to prove their ignorance!
Since I like to teach and leave lessons learned!

Stop Lookin Back
Stuck in the county jail,
Nobody here gonna pay my bail.
Thirty days with a smelly drunk,
A turn-key callin me a dirty punk.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin back.
And Ive got to move straight ahead, stop lookin back.
Chorus
Shoot for the stars when my eyes cant see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop lookin back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin back.
Stranded! nothing worse.
Im livin on coffee, I got an empty purse.
Im dreamin bout blue eyes lookin my way,
Hopin my dreams dont blow away.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin back.
And Ive got to move straight ahead, stop lookin back.
Chorus

I would go to them and I would explain this is the price of going forward. We're going to move ahead in all these other areas. We're moving ahead in tax reform and GST, we are moving ahead on trade, but this will not be done at the cost of the environment.

Neither Suggested or Recommended
Those in the 'know'
Do what they can,
To keep others inspired.
And uplifted.
But this should not be done,
At the expense of burdens weighed
By another who implants their footprints,
Upon anyone's shoulders.
God has this power to do this.
We may try hard to play God.
But that is neither suggested,
Or recommended.

I've Got A Name
Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I've got a name
I've got a name
like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I've got a name
I've got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
but I'm living the dream that he kept hid
Moving me down the highway
rolling me down the highway
moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Like the North wind whistling down the sky
I've got a song
I've got a song
like the whip-poor-will and the babies crying
I've got a song
I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it proud
if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud
Moving me down the highway
rolling me down the highway
moving ahead so life won't pass me by
And I'm gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I know I could share it if you want me to
if your going my way I'll go with you
Moving me down the highway
rolling me down the highway
moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Moving me down the highway
rolling me down the highway
moving ahead so life won't pass me by

Not a Bourgy Doer
I use to have issues with being emotionally needy.
Feeling I had to achieve to appease and please.
While experiencing a sense of abandonment...
And no one cared what was happening inside of me.
I use to be moody with a quick lip and attitude.
I knew as a child I had responsibilities.
And those children I knew had none or few.
As I grew older and more rebellious in mind,
I became more independent and less forgiving...
Of those who had direction in their lives of some kind.
Although I am no longer there where I had been...
Emotionally I remain protective,
And free to speak without a need to be touched.
'Too bourgy and aloof,
Using that as an excuse to feed.'
Who me?
'Yes you!
Just too bourgy and aloof,
Out to prove that you can do and succeed.'
Not me...
I'm not a bourgy doer.
'But you're bourgy and aloof,
Using that as an excuse to feed.'
Who me?
'Yes you!
You're out to prove.
You're bourgy and aloof.
Out to prove that you can do and succeed.'
Not me...
I'm not a bourgy doer.
Or out to prove a thing.

You Trip Too Quick To Insult and Assault
You trip too quick to get your results.
You trip too quick to insult and assault,
Those you don't know...
Who haven't shown,
Reason why you choose to deceive.
You trip too quick to sit and to sulk.
You trip too quick to blame and to fault,
Others unaware...
What has been done to you.
And you don't care...
Going through the act that you do.
You trip too quick to get your results.
Yes you do.
You trip too quick to insult and assault,
Just to prove...
To,
Those you don't know...
Who haven't shown,
Reason why you choose to deceive.
Then you can't believe why they come back,
To mistreat you!
You trip too quick to get your results.
Yes you do.
You trip too quick to insult and assault,
Just to prove...
To,
Those you don't know...
Who haven't shown,
Reason why you choose to deceive.
You trip too quick to get your results.
And...
You trip too quick to insult and assault.
And...
You trip too quick to get your results.
And...
You trip too quick to insult and assault.
You trip too quick to get your results.
You trip too quick to insult and assault.

This Spiraling Cliff
mmm
The subject matter and the topic,
You have chosen to discuss
Is most interesting.
You hint,
That a boat floating
Once with an incompetent commander,
Unaware of it floating towards the edge
Of a waterfall cascading at unquestionable speed.
And had been warned of this danger
Should 'not' be the one found at fault.
Because the waterfall at the time of his leadership
Was not as close as it is today?
And the new commander recently taking helm
Who dares to turn the ship away,
From this spiraling cliff
With reason to believe all aboard,
Face eminent and devastating danger?
Because he represents a vision
That has not been collectively decided,
By those wishing to continue sailing
With scheduled social events to attend?
And
Everyone aboard,
Now hears the thunderous roar of this waterfall?
But pretend the evidence of it does not exist?
I'd like to make this suggestion strongly recommended.
And this is hypothetically speaking,
Of course.
'Of course.'
If everyone 'now' hears,
The thunderous roar of this waterfall...
Wouldn't it be to the best of everyone's interest,
IF they paid attention?
And gave the new commander their support?
'In response to your hypothetical suggested recommendation,
To my 'hypothetical' inquisitive mention of this
Of course.
Giving the new commander that much authority,
Would reveal delusions all aboard 'this' ship
I mean 'the' ship,
Wish to keep to themselves without the embarrassment,
Of admitting
They have standards and values,
They would rather keep to impress others who 'may'
Look upon them with less respect!
And,
They would rather try to convince others,
The new commander has weaknesses
Than to confess an apparent ignorance exposed.
And their severe incompetence to address,
Is a confession.
WHO and WHAT are they trying to protect?
'An 'image' of greatness!
Hypothetically speaking,
Of course.'
Sure.
And hypothetically speaking
Where would the lifejackets be stored,
Aboard 'that' fated ship?
'I have no idea.
I am going back to the upper deck,
To attend tonight's activities.'

Unconsciousness Rules
You dance at the discotheque
Thats why you look such a wreck
Your face is pale you look drawn
Your clothes are dirty and torn
Youve got that look in your eyes that says
Youre half alive and youre lost inside
Meanwhile youre back in your cage
Egod out on the stage
Where the unconsciousness rules
Youve got yourself in a bind
You dont know how to unwind
Your senses unsatisfied
Take you along on a ride
Youve got a way and a stance that says
Youll dance the pants off of everyone
Then you go back on the floor
You got to get through the door
Where the unconsciousness rules.
Youve lost a screw in your head
It shows the way youre led
Blind leading the blind
Nothing can stand in your way
Youre living day after day
Where the unconsciousness rules.

Crash And Burn
One more day
Before you go.
We'll stay up late,
for one more show.
Grab the keys,
we're going out,
We're leaving home--
and we wont come back again,
we're friends till the end,
we'll take on the world,
we just dont care at all.
I never wanted to believe;
that you could lie;
that friends decieve.
And here I stand;
I'm still the same.
I've watched you change,
you wont come back
I wonder what its like to be like you,
(I wonder what its like to be like you)
To never even care how bad it hurts.
(To never even care how bad it hurts)
So go ahead and lie and,
keep moving on and,
It's all about yourself and
you're never wrong-
I'll watch you crash and burn
The day is gone,
its cold out,
I walk alone-
as you fade out.
I dont know why
I'm reaching out.
And now I know
you wont come back
I wonder what its like to be like you,
(I wonder what its like to be like you)
To never even care how bad it hurts.
(To never even care how bad it hurts)
So go ahead and lie and,
keep moving on and,
It's all about yourself and
you're never wrong-
I'll watch you crash and burn
Do you remember the days-
Way back when we used to say:
"Nothing can change us."
"No one will stop us."
"I'll never be like you!"
I'll watch you crash and burn.
(You're never wrong and you keep moving on) x4

The Last Stop
Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hates the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears
War
The only way to peace
I dont fall for that
Raining tears
Youre righteous, so righteous
Youre always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
Oh no
Gracious even god
Bloodied the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mothers cry
Is hate so deep
Must a babys bones
This hungry fire feed?
As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
Scream
Right is wrong now
Shut up you big lie
This black and white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
Youre righteous, so righteous
Youre always so right
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Here theres more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
Its not so black and white
Youre righteous
Youre righteous
Youre righteous
Youre always so right
There you are nailing a good tree
Then say forgive me, forgive me
Why
Raining tears
This is the last stop
Here there is more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
Its not so black and white

Saturated In a Marination
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Ignorance for what it is,
Is a most difficult thing...
For one to overcome!
Not everyone can resist this pull.
Not all are prone,
To sit alone in isolation.
To satisfy a thinking sensation!
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
And that's what it takes,
To break from the commonness of it!
Ignorance can be comforting.
Especially when so many,
Have been bred and born to feed on it.
Saturated in a marination...
Seeped with ingredients,
That produce clowns to fool around.
Displaying condoned qualities of misfits.
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Is it an illness...
Ever to be cured?
And chased away from its endurance?
Ever to be blocked and knock out...
Never to regain a need for it to remain unchanged?
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Ignorance can not be that deep of an affliction!
Why is it so craved?
Why is it chosen...
To wallow in and stay?
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Wanting to comprehend and understand...
May today be the most dangerous weapon.
For inquisitive children.
Or thoughtful women.
Or the deeds of a concerned,
And caring man!
Even when this is done,
It is best not to be seen.
By anyone!
On any surfaced scene.
Where they will be demeaned.
Avoiding suspicion,
Should be the condition...
Of one who chooses to connect with thought.
Selecting that as an escape.
An undercover mission!
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '

How Poetry May Not Be Taken Seriously
when spontaneously
a poem comes along
you grab it like a chicken
and choke it
with your usual grammatical
errors
and words not so well chosen
like a stream of erroneous
thoughts misspelled
and put out of context
and then you are too busy
to correct it
and post it right away
and then it comes back
to you when you
read it
after a while when you
come back from office
work and you
realize
the horror of
the Dracula that you made
another Frankenstein
all of them bite you
in your neck
and takes your blood
sucking them
like water.
devastating indeed.

I Recommend Everyone Eat Cake
In regards to your digestion,
I would recommend...
The eating of more fruits and vegetables.
'That already poses a disagreement,
As you can see.
Now...
'If' you had 'suggested' the fruits,
And vegetables...
No one here would have ordered,
The icecream and cake.
Just to prove to you,
There are decisions they alone make.
To recommend is one thing.
However...
To suggest implies a willingness to try.
Now no one is concerned about their hips or thighs.'
What a difference a suggestion makes.
'I've been telling you that!
You will learn not to recommend,
But suggest.
The results are unbelievable.'
Hmmm,
I see.
I RECOMMEND EVERYONE EAT CAKE.

Voice That Fades
You chose to float your own boat.
I merely suggested you check for leaks.
I get no satisfaction watching you sink...
Protecting what you think is your right!
I'm prepared to leave you alone...
Not to hear you bitch and moan,
With back biting gripes...
About what I am and what I am not in your eyes!
Despised in wasted hours day or night.
I am dry and don't mind passing you by at all.
I am not wishing for that kind of companion!
Call me what you like...
But it is your voice that fades in the distance!
I am not a vigilante,
Assigned to observe your plight.

Suggested
Today...
It is not appropriate to be honest.
Or imply it in retrospect.
We live in times
In which truth is deluded,
With a mixture of suggestions...
Followed by denials confessed!
Suggested is our need for patience...
To allow inconsistency to cease.
Suggested is a resistance...
To want a stop to fighting,
That only increases the movement of the weak.
Suggested is a greatness kept,
By the spilling of blood and sorrows wept.
Suggested is we maintain,
A mental stressing drain!
To keep thieves looting resources...
And driving those of consciousness,
Further into an abyss!
Today...
It is not appropriate to be honest.
Or imply it in retrospect.
We live in times
In which truth is deluded,
With a mixture of suggestions...
Followed by denials confessed!
And deeper with resolutions,
Providing an absence of thoughtful solutions...
Are those who lead pleading,
We can succeed by sheer request!
And that's all they are suggesting we do...
As those who view ahead of us coming,
A deadend awaiting with an awarded mess!
