I'm standing in the calm before the storm while you're at home in bed, safe and warm I'm watching the waves crashing upon the shore I'm not fighting it anymore...just let it pour I've held this weight for far too long as ya'll sit and watch like nothing is wrong I drop to one knee as the pressure grows how many more will pass? who knows I'll let the rain wash away my past as i let go of hope, at last you're burdens shall be mine no more I'm not fighting it anymore...just let it pour all of humanity seems to be lost at sea I would help everyone, but who's gonna help me life is short and you will die as will those in need that you walked by those are your brothers and sisters, you let down step down from your throne and lay down your crown you're nothing but a peasant among the crowd even in royalty...decency is allowed people don't want to try... people don't seem to care they'll watch the world fall apart, then wonder why it's not there ignorance is bliss...or so that's what they say tommorrow could be different... but it's just another day It's a wonder what one man could change yet no one does anything and you don't find that strange? standing in the calm before the storm, yet tommorrows, may be no more I'm not fighting it anymore...just let it pour

and many kind hearted folk have visited this sorrow and discontent. What you do not yet believe...is ..what we see and feel is determined by where WE chose to look..if you are not seeing what you wish to see..you are looking in the wrong places. BIG HUG..soup mail

Your comments on my Madness Rides..were very kind. I felt like I was channeling. I wrote it none stop in 2 or 3 hours of writing. Needless to say...the feelings felt familiar...YOUR write above is heartfelt..by a "giver" to a "taking" world,
