imagine and dream	Watching my grand-children run and play Makes the mind wander, back to the day When you saw all things as fresh and new And you could imagine, the splendid view As you float on the clouds, in this sky of blue You see rays of the sun, drying the morning dew It seems the older you get, the faster the pace Or is that our excuse for joining in the workplace To enjoy the smell in the air from fresh mowed hay Or watching a squirrel that stops, turns and runs away You say It is a waste of time, it won't pay the rent You should be chasing the life, where money is spent If you only teach children to be better then other men It will cripple the spirit of this life, like a carcinogen The earth we have borrowed from our grand-children you see Will you return a lush garden or a dead sea?

Question without fear.	You silence the noise, from your electric clock turn on the lights, shower and your coffee pot Do you feel blame for what you have done Since, the clock signaled, your day had begun Hundreds of simple tasks, that we do everyday No qualm of consequence, cost or whom will pay Trying to survive, with wife and children we create No concern of air, sea, land or errors we berate In life's maze we seek wealth and that better life Finding lies, debt, plague and fear, in this forest of strife Spirit weak hopeless, afraid, when any query is raised behind apathy and delusion hide, earth will be unfazed Nuclear and chemical waste, contaminates all the land The food chain was tainted, all mutations will expand Creating wealth is more critical then all human life knowledge kept repressed, so arrogance could thrive People's voice was muted, for way to many years Unanswered questions persist, we can't afford to fear Prospects to correct mistakes to save this great land Seems ironic to say but, "Are in the Peoples Hands".

My Autumn Dream	A request to tell all of your kinfolk That are inside Heavens Gate To keep watch on one of my folk For she has a special date Their just east of South Dakota Though she's in a different state For these Doctor's in Minnesota Want a team to secure her fate Their are many special surgeons Who all do their job first rate Prayers are needed, even sermons Don't want any wishes to be late In spring they plan for her to home I guess Grampa, will have to wait

Hate Free Horizon	Eloquently put, I personally think it's because of man's need to blame others to justify himself. I think the flow is good and the idea of a hate free horizon is great but, until man deals with his enemies within this will not come to pass. seasons joy and kindness
