Genderation
Heterosexuality
Is not my fate by chance
In spite of men's obscenity
I still long for romance.
So why is it that we,
Can not seem to see,
The plain normality,
Of homosexuality.
It's simply not a choice.
They deserve a voice.
Its time to be free
From all the simple minded
Homophobic insanity.
There is a generation
Across this modern nation
Who have the consternation
To be just who they are.
They have the moral courage
And will not be discouraged
In face of the scourge
Of false society.
No need for all the drama.
It's love that we are meant to see
And love that is our karma.
So hitch your wagon
to star and think
yourself a mortal?
For in the end
You'll find my friend.
You'll leave your gender
at the door
as you enter
Heavens portal.

You've Hit Me With Your Karma
I can't get myself away!

Homosexuality
This is the
Age of
Open
Homosexuality.
It's slowly
Losing its
Promiscuity.
It's becoming
As prevalent
As heterosexuality.
I don't know
What the fuss
Is all about…
As long as
The person
Is old enough
To understand
His sexuality...
Doesn't harm
Anybody…
Enjoys safe
Sex -
Who are we
To dictate
That he should
Practise
Only
Heterosexuality?
It's his choice.
Let him experiment.
Let's respect his
Wishes…
Let's accept him
As one of us.
He's a human being
With sexual needs
Just as all of us…
So what
If he's
Gay or bisexual?
It's his life.
Let him live it.

Different, Straight, Or Gay
Is marriage in the eyes of God meant to be two she's
minus a he?
Or is this the way society wants it to be?
Does the same sex marriage deserve to fester to those who
see?
Or is the exceptance blind to nature's
serenity?
Or is humanity being shallowed up by the new age that is
bloated with basphemy.
So what gives us the right to judge others?
for we were bought up to love and charish our
brothers.
Does homosexuals and lesbians have a chance in the
way society thinks?
Or does the opinions of others cast a spell on those with
an unhappy jinx.
So why does marriage have to come in time in which we
play?
Yet i think that no matter your gender.
God will love you anyway,
Even if your different, straight, or gay.

I believe that the fact and the reality of homosexuality and heterosexuality and of opposite and same-gender unions should be taught in our public schools without a value judgement system also being offered.
Your Star
She screams when i'm away She's been gone before.
I worry all the time, why worry anymore
Now I go, away
Now I know, today
I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breath
she, now she's all alone
Her eyes they drown in tears
Their love was meant to last
But she is blind with fear
Now I go, away
Now I know, today
I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breath
Leave me be
Now I'm free
Love reflecting everything
You want space
I need you to help me see this through
There she goes
(there she goes)
(there she goes)
I've become your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breath

Do not complicate love
No perfume
Only your breath
No questions ask
Your name, sex, gender
Marital status
We just kiss
Make love
Zipless
Then you go
And I go
Your way my way
No questions no answers
Just a memory to tell the next generation
A lecture on how to love and what love is
Zipless, buttonless, beltless, bottomless
Borderless, timeless, colorless,
To love without measure,
There is simply no measure
Love is openness love is naked
To face the lover naked
Is the best truth each can offer
Your way my way
Your way of loving me
My way of loving you
And we tell the next generation
About a love without a name without a gender
Without a marital status
Without shame without rules
Without sin without law
Because love is openness only to feelings
That we must tell to the next generation

The Greatest Romance Ever Sold
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
So what do u know, u and me
Finally face 2 face
Checking each other up and down
In all of the obvious places
Was there ever a reason 4 us 2 be apart?
The air that fills up this room says, not hardly
So this is where u end, and u and I begin ...
(thats where u and i, u and I begin)
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
Baby, baby
Now your mind is open
2 poetry seldom heard
Ur heart has never been broken
Until uve heard these words:
Your body was designed 2 respond 2 mine
In spite of your desire 2 mold me
And in the middle of it all -
We kiss and like rain (like rain) we fall into ...
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
Oh, I know u can feel me,know that u can dance
But what do you know about the greatest romance?
Not what u think, but what u believe
What was the real reason that adam never left eve?
And if the truth sounds like a memory
Then u know it was meant to be (meant 2 be), meant 2 be
Leave your inhibitions behind come on, come on, and see
So this is where u end (this is where u end)
And u and I begin ... (u-hu)
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
The greatest romance thats ever been sold
I know u can feel, I know that u can dance
But what do you know about the greatest romance?
(the greatest romance ...)
Not what u think, but what u believe
Can u tell me the reason (reason) that adam never left eve?
(the greatest (greatest) romance (romance) ...)
Listen 2 me
(... thats ever been sold)
U brought me
The grapes from the vine, yes u did
(the greatest romance ...)
Can I talk 2 u
(... thats ever been sold)
Listen
U help me 2 remember the secrets of time
And u - u - u, u offer me your love, your love, your love
So divine
And in return, girl, in return I will surrender
Oh yeah, I will surrender, oh yes, I will

Riding To Town
WHEN labor is light and the morning is fair,
I find it a pleasure beyond all compare
To hitch up my nag and go hurrying down
And take Katie May for a ride into town;
For bumpety-bump goes the wagon,
But tra-la-la-la our lay.
There's joy in a song as we rattle along
In the light of the glorious day.
A coach would be fine, but a spring wagon's good;
My jeans are a match for Kate's gingham and hood;
The hills take us up and the vales take us down,
But what matters that? we are tiding to town,
And bumpety-bump goes the wagon,
But tra-la-la-la sing we.
There's never a care may live in the air
That is filled with the breath of our glee.
And after we've started, there's naught can repress
The thrill of our hearts in their wild happiness;
The heavens may smile or the heavens may frown,
And it's all one to us when we're riding to town.
For bumpety-bump goes the wagon,
But tra-la-la-la we shout,
For our hearts they are clear and there's nothing to fear,
And we've never a pain nor a doubt.
The wagon is weak and the roadway is rough,
And tho' it is long it is not long enough,
For mid all my ecstasies this is the crown
To sit beside Katie and ride into town,
When bumpety-bump goes the wagon,
But tra-la-la-la our song;
And if I had my way, I'd be willing to pay
If the road could be made twice as long.

Love 'em Or Leave 'em
Blowing'cross the universe
Like a shooting star that lost its way
Looking back with no regrets
Living tor what hasn't happened yet
Love 'em or leave 'em
No rhyme or reason
Break out to make out
No change in the season
Love 'em or leave 'em
Put out or get out
Simple survival
No more denial
Love 'em or leave 'em
Roller coaster flies oft the track
Hits you in the face, stabs you in the back
They Jake your right, leave nothing left
Steal you blind, your mind and leave you deaf
Love 'em or leave 'em
No rhyme or reason
State of the nation
Pure intoxication
Feel the vibration
The anticipation
Simple survival
No more denial
Dont wanna waste no time
I'm never losing track
I've seen il all and so much more
But I ain't seen nothing yet
Love 'em or leave 'em
No rhyme or reason
State of the nation
Pure intoxication
Feel the vibration
The anticipation
Simple survival
No more denial
Love 'em or leave 'em

One More Chance
Give me one more chance to prove my love.
I'll treat you the way you deserve.
I'll show you I'm worthy of your glory.
Together we'll live a beautiful story.
One more chance to find romance.
Without a single backward glance.
I'll prove to you that it's not through.
There's still so much we have to do.
I may not have been the greatest bloak.
Now I see why you had to go.
Now I ask for you to see.
I've made the changes that you need.
One more chance for a love so true.
My life makes no difference without you.
I wasn't always there to show I cared.
Now I want to repair the bond we shared.
Just one more chance I ask of you.
For forgiveness sake don't say it's through.
Just think of all the love we'll make.
Knowing that we're the best two mates,
to share in such a glorious fate.

Venice Queen
Does it go from east to west
Body free and a body less
Come again just to start a fresh
Once again to find a home
In the moment of the meantime
Dropping in coming through the mesh
Checking in just to get it blessed
Hard to leave when it's picturesque
Find a form that's free the roam
Where you coming from
Where you going
Do it all then it all again
Make it up and you make a friend
Paddle on just around the bend
Find a place where you can see
All the mamas and the papas
Take a chance on a recommend
Hard as hell just to comprehend
Disbelief that I do suspend
Easy now to find a breeze
Where you come from
Where you going
We all want to tell her
Tell her that we love her
Venice gets a queen
Best i've ever seen
We all want to kiss her
Tell her that we miss her
Venice gets a queen
Best i've ever
I know you said you don't believe
In god do you still disagree
Now that it's time for you to leave
G.L.O.R.I.A
Is love my friend
Your stylish mess of silver hair
A woman of your kind is rare
Your uniform returns to air
G.L.O.R.I.A
Is love my friend
And now it's time for you to go
You taught me most of what I know
Where would I be without you Glo
G.L.O.R.I.A
Is love my friend
I see you standing by the see
The waves you made will always be
A kiss goodbye forever you leave
G.L.O.R.I.A
Is love my friend

Meant to be
Meant to Be
By: Jean Pullman
I could’ve sworn we were meant to be but I guess that were not
She broke your heart and you broke mines in return there’s no moving on
I wish you’d give me a chance and forget about her
I could make you happy and the vision of her would blur
But I guess were not
CHORUS
Meant to be
Holding hands and caught up in our romance
Meant to be
Walking on the beach watching the sun set
Meant to be
Loving the feeling we make each other get
Too bad were not meant to be
I am dying on the inside
At night I secretly cry
If all of these people weren’t around
I’d be doing that now
She hurt you but you hurt me too
I don’t know why I trusted you
I guess I thought I actually had a chance
To get a little of your romance
But now I know I was too stupid
For me there is no cupid
CHORUS
Meant to be
Holding hands and caught up in our romance
Meant to be
Walking on the beach watching the sun set
Meant to be
Loving the feeling we make each other get
Too bad were not meant to be
Why do I
Constantly try
To find love
When I know there is no one
I fell for you
Fell really hard too
So in time I’ll pick myself up
And maybe find love

A question of priorities
A portal closes then you see
another one has opened wide.
Is this an opportunity
you have brief moments to decide.
If you go through this open door
your life will change forever more
If you do not you may regret
you lacked the courage to step through
One thing for sure you won’t forget
the chance which fate had offered you.
A golden opportunity
which you declined reluctantly.
You longed to go but chose to stay
You knew that you were needed here.
you knew you could not walk away
From everything which you held dear
A wise decision to remain
that question echoes in your brain.
When you decided not to go
through that portal and explore.
The truth is that you’ll never know
what lay beyond that open door.
But still you wonder constantly
what you’d have done if you were free.

Mortal Love
mortality does
not ask for love eternal
mortal love
cannot outlive eternity’s edge
to an infinite span
mortal love
does not ask forever
never
mortal love
makes lies, makes changes,
twists and turns
mortal love is simple
like a dimple
one tongue
to one earthly word
nope
may do
may say something else
It is only asking
That you love
One day at a time
With all allowance for change
For a wider space
Leeways
Choices
Mortal love is free
frivolous
this love of mine
Today is just enough
mortal
And so rightly deserved
A mortal like me
Also bleeds
Weeds filled
No promises, just a hug, an embrace
And
A kiss, then could be, goodbye.
Because mortal love
Dies, like a wind passing by

Free In You
A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying
A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss
And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away
But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free
Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

A Love Poem For Today
we were meant to be,
we made a pledge of love
under the fullness of the moon
the North Star is our witness
we got separated
Fate has its reasons
we do not know
how it happened
how could i love you
and yet decide to leave and love another?
how could i betray you
and marry another one instead?
Fate has its reasons
I do not know how it happened.
All i know is this: You will be happier
If it were not me.
I have less and i cannot give you more.
I have loved you more and cannot afford to give you less.
You deserve to be happy. I don't.
Forget me then for I have hurt you.

They’re Both Very Real
Hell dear friend, is a very real place, one with an eternal destination,
There you’ll never see God’s face, but, from Him, a total separation,
Where you find an absence of Grace, for you rejected His salvation,
That way of minds spiritually abase; darkened souls of every nation.
Heaven friend, is the opposite side, for all who trust in Jesus Christ,
When every soul, although they died, enter with God into eternal life,
For The Lamb of God was crucified, to become for all His Sacrifice,
And “It is Finished” Christ had cried, when for men He paid the price.
The testimony of Jesus’ own voice, is Eternal Life to us God giveth,
So today it becomes our choice, to be made before our last breath,
One to eternally weep, or to rejoice, as we enter eternal life or death,
When we listen to The Spirit’s voice, God gives to us Eternal Breath.
These places are not of man’s design, and both friend, are truly real,
The duration of both, is eternal in time, which is why to men I appeal,
And don’t look to reason or rhyme, on how they both make you feel,
In faith, just believe to step in line, and God can give to you His zeal.
Friend, every eye shall one day see, regardless of what they believe,
In Heaven or Hell, for all of Eternity, is what their belief shall achieve,
Hell is where Satan wants all to be, as souls he continues to deceive,
But Heaven is ours through Calvary, when in Christ we simply believe.

Last Chance
Waking up, sitting up,
Troubled by a dream
You were here, arms around me sleeping
Should have known, Im all alone
Thats the way its been since I lost you,
Ah ... ah
Growing up, owning up,
Ive come to realise
That I just cant live my life without you
cause I find
That everytime I close my eyes I still see you
Ah ... ah
We all feel the pain of love from time to time thats true
Only love can lead us through these troubled days
Close the door, dim the lights
I just want to prove you wrong tonight
I wont lie, or fake romance
All I want from you is one last chance
Out of love, out of luck
Im whispering your name
Talking to pictures that surround me
No-one hears
And tears are falling like the rain, how I need you,
Ah ... ah
I was wrong
But I can learn to change my ways
I only hope that I can find you
Driven on
By the memory of your face shining for me
Like a star in space ...
Tell me what youre waiting for
Do whats in your heart
Remember all we had before
Its tearing you apart
Why dont we make love tonight
Thats the only way
Just believe with all your mind
In what love has to say
Growing up, owning up,
Ive came to realise
That I just cant live my life without you
Now I know
That when I open up my eyes I will see you
Ah ... ah
We all feel the pain of love from time to time thats true
Only love can lead us through these troubled days
Close the door, dim the lights
I just want to prove you wrong tonight
I wont lie, or fake romance
All I want from you is one last chance

Blank Generation
I was saying let me out of here before I was even born
Its such a gamble when you get a face
Its fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
But when I dine its for the wall that I set a place
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, gods consolation prize!
I belong to the blank generation
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
To hold the tv to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms tracks
And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

Smothered Hope
withered rope you hang what's empty
can't remain to put it simply
in time
cry the hollow words to sing
with false disguise smothered hope
fly from sorrow for a new
divine tomorrow
i just don't want to know anymore
life shifts up and down
everybody knows it's wrong why
don't you care?
now do it seem fair?
it's not in the rhyme or reason
so it goes with every season
crawl to top fall through bottom
first hand love is really rotten
slice of life find what's plenty
inch towards a sanctuary
light with me inside the
womb i know everyone
everybody knows it's me it's my voice,
my voice cries out obscenity sightless eye
regard my past sometimes it should
i just don't want to know anymore.
