words, words, words words...
i'm tired of words in my head
they are only symbols of the feelings
not the true things that i've felt
dillusional, hypothetical
what if, why not, how come
reality askew, if i only knew
if others felt these damn things too
A Children's Story
The animals all joined a lodge
Just like humans do
They talked every 2nd Tuesday away
While sipping on Jungle Brew
One nights meeting finished up to quick
All decided to hang around
They told tales of their daring do's
After every story on the tables they'd pound
Alligator said take a gander in this maw
I can make any man run, just with a smile
I can laze in the River alone
Cause I have teeth for miles
Anaconda piped up, well thats nothing Al
As he put down his jungle brew mug
Men stear clear of even my suspected lairs
When all I want to give them is a hug
Thats pretty good Andy, But you can't top this
Roared Lion from the front
Man calls me the King Of Beasts
My wife won't even take me on a hunt!
Elemental philosophies
Warring for our souls
Choose wise, choose well, but make a choice
To straddle a fence is to live not at all.
A man without a center
Without a propelling cause
Stagnates, fades and festers
Leaves no mark, creates no pause.
A man who takes a stand
Whether right or wrong
Leaves ripples throughout history
Like an echo from a gong.
Make your mark, leave a thought
A legacy may begin
You have worth, your thoughts matter
To widthhold them is the sin.
