Good People of Earth

GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH

Where are we heading
With this mayhem, destruction, and killing
Is this what we call a civilized society
A look to the future can be chilling


GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH

I know you're out there
You outnumber these maniacal tyrants
Let's band together, stage our own uprising
Make love a life long commitment


GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH

The time has arrived
To rise up with a mighty big roar
Multitudes of us normal law abiding folks
Ain't taking this bull crap no more


GOOD PEOPLE OF EARTH

Hear what I'm saying
It's time to turn things around
Can't allow this debauchery to continue
Let joy and happiness abound

But Hope is still there and will always be! Thanks for ex-pressing it in such a stylish way, dear Jack! Blessings, Hanitra Jack Ellison November 23, 2012 at 3:38 PM You are impressing the hell out of me with your ability to express yourself, my new found friend! You are right my friend, there will always be hope... we can never let that die! My very best wishes, Jack

Carol Eastman November 22, 2012 at 10:39 AM I roared once but the only thing that happened was my bunnies took off on a run. Must not have done it right... So now I just nudge them with a poem... OOOPPPs... There go the bunnies again... I guess they're not into poetry either...LOL!... But when I finally write my book the whole world will sit up and listen... or probably run with the bunnies...LOL! Jack Ellison November 22, 2012 at 10:45 AM What have you been spiking your cereal with, dear Carol??? Can't wait for your book... so get to it! OooopsI guess you're a bit preoccupied with your Dad right now... sorry! Love ya!
