Best Basics Poems

Back To Basics


Let's walk the country road and faithfully
keep cadence with the heartbeat of the wild,
where life, unveiled in naked truth, sets free
her gift of innocence. Just like a child,
unblemished...pure in body, mind, and soul...
finds simple joy with each new day unfurled,
we'll stand alone with...

get back to the basics busting fat laces running the bases
it used to be cool to obey the golden rule yet that went out the door in 64
open the door for your neighbor then you can chill on a different ice cream flavor
getting fat beats...

Who cares about the slanders of olden days?
If today I say I’m willing to die for all man’s sins
And I really, truly mean it
Would you call me the savior of humanity?
Would you call me the Blasphemous antichrist?
Or would you crucify me for believing too much?
I...

My old bike is good for me,
It takes me from A to B
Times when I need to be alone
My bicycle and I on our own

Cars are fine for families,
Cruising along can be a breeze,
Cars are too expensive to run
Petrol prices are no fun.

Registration, Insurance, maintenance,...

Be For whatever it maybe
look at the wall of of reality
obseving the circumferance
the pro`s and the cons
with your feet firmly grounded,embracing loved ones
walk through life with a skip and a song
respecting your elders,you wont go far wrong....

Nothing new in the electrochemistry 
It no longer is a scientific mystery
Waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon
Descending from buoyant ecstasy to a persona forlorn 

Zodiac signs & rainbow colours assigned to chakras renamed
Esoteric yogic techniques, exponents aplenty, all self-proclaimed
Fiery verbal duels, by many...

Don't shortchange our furry friends
Don't sluff-off those feathered ones
Have respect for gills    flippers
All are very smart

While we search out ways to kill
While we slander our neighbors
Find new ways to dominate
They think of basics

Yes    they only think of life -
How...

I'm going back to basics
Tossing technology out the door
They say life is what you make it
I'm going to make it a natural world

The stars at night will be my candlelight
The open meadow my unmade bed
The Moonbeam will hold my calmest dreams
As I rest my weary...

Four basic elements combine
In an association rare,
To insure that our lives survive.
One of the quartet, precious air.

Our bodies include an element,
Half our weight, up to three quarter.
We could only live for a few days
Without God's great gift of water.

He hung the sun up in the...

I have stumbled and fallen 
over life , love and everything in between 
And after all that i've seen 
Its safe to say , I no longer bleed!

In the arms of a mad man 
Hoping he would take...
