Empower Plant
If I had the power,
Of power generation…
To generate enough power,
To power a generation,
I would.
If I could…
Generate an interest,
In what’s in our best interest,
I would.
If I should…
Forget to mention,
The higher power,
Deserves our attention,
She can deliver power,
To our,
Generation,
And, our generation,
Can be an empowerment plant.
Instead of being a wallflower,
I can be a plant –
An empower plant,
Instead of being [...]
Spoiled Rotten
Chorus:
Uh oh,
Something’s,
Cooking,
And, I don’t,
Like the way,
It’s smelling.
Smells too bad,
To be cabbage,
I imagine,
It could be,
Rotten eggs?
Chorus
Makes me sad,
In such an age,
That souls famine,
It could be,
One who begs?
Chorus
Yup, I think,
Something,
Does stink,
And, it’s starting to look,
Like it’s the cook,
The one [...]
Let ‘Em Roll
A coupla’ reminders,
To take off my blinders:
Gonna let ‘em roll,
Right over me,
If they’re thinkin’ that,
I’ll be goin’ splat…
If that’s their goal,
Gonna let ‘em roll,
Right over me…
’cause I can be flat,
Flat as can be,
Then sprout right back,
Toward infinity.
Lord knows…
There’s an eternity,
For takin’ blows,
But, lifetime goes,
By too quickly,
To waste a bit,
On any of that,
‘rather just act…
Flat!
And, let [...]
Arbitrage
Why wear arbitrage,
Around the neck,
Like an albatross?
What the heck?
Do I believe in gravity?
Is asking an absurdity?
The forces of the market,
More than predict it,
They make it…
Happen,
Again and again,
Until reaching equilibrium.
No need to be outraged,
By arbitrage,
It can be a friend of ours,
Though,
Like any other tool,
When put in the hands of a fool…
Whoa! Ohhhhh no!
The gotta have money,
To [...]
A Passion To Play
What will become of the day?
How long do we have to play?
Do I have any say,
In the way,
Things go down?
Sure!
I could just drown,
Afraid of the future,
But, would I be a let down,
In the way,
Things go down?
What will become of the day?
How long do we have to play?
I love the sound,
We’ve found,
And, wish it could stick [...]
Opt
You missed,
Calling me a pessimist,
For I opt,
To be an optimist,
But, that doesn’t mean,
I should close my eyes,
To the mean scene.
Nooooo…
I should scrutinize,
Realize,
And, materialize.
Create the love,
With a kid’s glove,
Gentle,
On the mental,
As we progress,
Though our regression,
Success,
Instead of depression.
Though it makes no sense,
The human presence,
Wants to go that way,
It hasn’t been a matter,
Of what I say,
I can point [...]
Prerogative
Here I am…
Is it predestined?
Will I eat steak,
Or ham?
Have I no choice?
Yet, I know,
I can raise my voice,
Sure, I can take,
But, I can grow,
To give, too.
What about you?
Do you choose,
Where you go?
Or, are you asleep,
At the wheel?
How deep,
Do you feel?
Is it fate,
To hate?
Is my destiny,
To cause injury?
If you say,
“That is the way.”
Then, why bother,
Going through [...]
Chains Of Events
Will I be an event,
In this chain reaction?
Can I prevent,
The preceding event?
The Earth did quake,
Causing man to shake,
… in his boots,
The sea did wake,
Are they in cahoots?
In these chains of events,
Will there be a change of servants?
Does chaos theory suggest,
The rest?
Though it sounds strange,
Will we rearrange,
First and last?
It’s hard for my pea brain,
To grasp,
I feel [...]
Infancy
infancy, n:
infancy, n:
The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth, “Heaven lies
about us.” The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.
— Ambrose Bierce
Do you fancy,
Infancy?
Do you sense,
The innocence?
Though [...]
Cracked Bell
Take pity,
On every city,
’cause when the Earth quakes,
Our foundation shakes.
It’s more than rumor,
That we felt a tremor,
’cause it’s true we’re ringing,
Like a cracked bell,
Nature’s singing,
“Say farewell.”
Ding dong the witch ain’t dead,
Bringing on what we dread,
“It’s a small world after all,”
“For whom does the bell toll?”
Is nature’s fall,
Due to man’s role?
As we vibrate the gate,
And, open [...]
