Hard to understand the reasons.
Hard to understand the circumstance.
Logic seems to fly in the face of reason.
The Courage Of A Poet
Oh, I admire so, any poet who is willing to be real!
This is my personal, on-going, endless longing!
A poet soul unafraid to swim against the current!
To stop hiding behind a costume of image-filled words.
and fly in the face of popularity!
A poet who is an eagle that soars,high, high, high
Above the poet crowd and realizes fully that~
A poet's heart means so much more!
The poet's message written in the azure, glowing sky.

Oh, I admire so, any poet willing to be real.
This is my personal, on-going,endless longing!
A poet-soul unafraid to swim against the current!
To stop hiding behind a costume of image-filled words
and fly in the face of popularity.
A poet who is eager and who soars fearlessly.
Rising high, high above the crowd and realizes
A poet's heart is human and needs ever so much more.

Eyebrows on noses and whiskers on women
Large rats and wombats that suckle my kitten
Penguins that waddle in hot sulfur springs
These are a few of my befuddled things
La da, di da da
Piglets that paddle in puddles of poodles
Parrots that prattle for peanuts and noodles
Wild things that fly in the face of my fan
These are the things that I chase when I can
La da, di da da, li da da, li da da
Rabies and robbers and nights in Havana
Babies that slobber on bites of banana
Fickle young fingers in pickles and kraut
These are the things that my life is about
When the elephant stomps
When the Man-o-war stings
When I'm feeling small
I simply remember my old mattress springs
And then I can't jump
At all!
La da, di da da, li da da, li da!

Sometimes you have to swim against the tide,
at times you have fly in the face of opinion,
sometimes you have to decide which side,
that you are going to take,
there are moments when taking a stand
is the only right thing to do,
even if goes against others plans
in the end that’s just the way it is,
don’t go getting it twisted,
don’t think what you’re doing is wrong,
just because you’re not following the other fishes,
swimming in life’s pond,
sometimes you have be unique,
sometimes you need to show your individuality
on occasions you have no choice,
you have to make your voice heard
in the end that’s just the way it is,
so don’t go getting it twisted,
don’t think what you’re doing is wrong,
just because you’re not following the other fishes
swimming in life’s pond.
