Here we go again
Back to chaos’ den
Emotions stretched abound
Spirits are being drowned
Yet another test
Stressed no rest
Pressing my vest
Nest of pests
Nowhere to hide
Noone to bride
Embrace the tide
Time to ride
Living is ripping
Praying for blessing
Singing while stinging
Bathing in beating
We’ve been here before
Scars from past gore
Roaring while being sore
Crying for no more
Get used to the downpour
We must make it to shore
Grit my teeth I must
The process I trust
There will always be times where it seems that we are coming apart at the seams
Our patience wearing thin with stress once again seeping into our skin
Suddenly we're swallowed up in the moment even if we pretend not to show it
Sure we can try to keep it all bottled up, but eventually the volcano will erupt
This is when we need some extra scaffolding around our hearts, but where can we start?
Begin by remembering we've overcome similar obstacles in the past, even when they seemed so wide and vast
So while we worry things won't improve, rest assured this too shall pass and we'll fall back into the groove
Here we go again (pun intended),
Some points raised but poorly defended.
Opinions are not facts.
But ignoring contracts,
Don’t sit well however well intended.
Here we go again
Praying for our Father
Here we go again
Enjoying the Summer
That our Father brought
For us the Summer once again
We are very happy
That we are having the Sunshine
Every single day
During the Summer
Yes we had a long winter
And we are happy that the winter is over
We are going to see the winter back
In September
We never had seen the rain during the
Summer
Also we are having back the long days
Now it gets dark at 9:00 PM
We all go to bed at 9:00 PM
And we sleep all through the night
We never wake up in the middle of the night
What is going to take for our legislators to put in safe gun laws
The ones we have on the books in most states are so deeply flawed
Everyone should have the right to defend their homes
But assault weapons we do not need to own
We will never get all the guns out of the hands of bad actors
But hopefully, we could change the minds of some of our gun backers
Tougher gun laws will never end these mass shootings
What it will do however is lower the number, of which I think we would all salute
A lot of the people who commit these crimes have made threats online
People who monitor these sites need to report these individuals in record time
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one to gun violence
Think if it was one of our loved ones, how long could we remain in silence
You said you could be anybody and I denied it so
But now I find myself experiencing it anew
Terrified when he is late that something isn't right
Nervous about those interactions when it's just us two
Having subtle dreams with a romantic undertone
Distracted to the point where I walk into a wall
Dreaming of what would happen if he were into me
Jealous when he interacts with anyone at all
Messaging him daily when I know that I should stop
Telling him my secrets, and learning how he'll think
Gaining all his trust through emotional intimacy
Not crossing the line, but living at the brink
Once again I failed to see
The truth behind the lies
Your words echo repeatedly
The reality I so despise
I may be different now
But the situation is the same
I guess it never had to be you
I guess I never left the game
Here we go again
Just you and me
Causing a love affair
Oh, can't you see?
There's been a lot of pain
And heart-aches in the past
But, this time
We're gonna make it last.
Here we go again
As happy as can be
Making love to each other
And living life as free.
Oh, Baby the way you caress
And hold me tight
Makes loving you much easier
And everything alright.
So we go into second full lockdown
It's simply just getting everyone down
No meeting places for us to go to
Contact with only those bubbled with you.
They try to tell us things will get better
I'm starting to believe that is never
What has happened to the life that we knew
Just what in the world are we coming to.
Remember those lovely days we all shared
Walking around freely, without a care
No mask to wear, that steam up one’s glasses
When hugs and kisses came automatic.
Life is not easy behind our closed doors
Who knows what heartache all this might have caused
The sick and lonely, what chance do they have
When no one comes calling, it is so sad.
Do you remember dancing in the streets
Flowers in our hair and loving real sweet
Mini skirts showing one’s thighs to the guys
Nothing stopped one reaching for stars in skies.
Should we believe what the soothsayers say
All will be well again, some sunny day.
Here we go again
Here we go again
The question of feelings confusion
No one thought something begins
May star brightens the day
Felt the need of “come what may”
Why do I feel this again?
Does familiar air persist again?
Makes my heart beats begin.
Oh! Let’s things be awaken
or let love not be forbidden
I’ve tried to stop this
As the time passes
But each denial creates
roots of it are growing
How come?
His smiles makes my heart shines
Shut myself from realities
Should I regret after saying no?
When you said, “I miss you”
And the silence respond
when you said, “ I love you”
Or should I applaud myself
for forbidding self-invasion
Rewarding for avoiding possible commotion
Until you’re out of reach,
neglecting and rejecting
In Asia the missiles are tested and primed,
a fleet from the west prowls the straits,
two Governments roar and both threaten what for,
the world quietly watches and waits.
Another year over, a new one begins,
we age and they come round so soon,
at the toll of the bell we all huddle outside
in the light of the unblinking moon.
And what must that moon think as it passes each night
of this rock that it's known all it's life
where we scurry like ants yet behave like the Gods
with our weapons of war and our strife?
We're born and we die in the blink of an eye
we all make our small mark then we're gone,
We're all stuck on this planet and cannot get off
so why can't we all just get on?
Here We Go Again
Sometimes I see it coming.
sometimes I feel it start.
It’s like a storm is brewing,
I start to fall apart.
So much to be happy for,
these tears I can’t control.
The product of the brokenness
that used to be my soul.
One day on the mountain top
there’s nothing I can’t see.
Next day when I’m waking up
the mountain sits on me.
With darkness all around me
and the shadows closing in.
I grab my heart and hold on tight
cause here we go again.
All those fears come rushing back
there’s no place I can hide.
It’s not much new it’s what I do
just one more storm to ride.
I bared my soul so many times
no more I must confess.
It’s not about the goodness
or the strength that I possess.
I’m right back where I used to be.
I’m right back where I’ve been.
I’m not where I want to be
and here we go again.
Edwin C Hofert
Here We Go Again!
The TV went blank,
The car wouldn’t start,
The house got hot,
The store left out
The refrig stuff from the cart.
Cable guy came,
Left with all new settings,
Roadside man started
The car with no resistance.
House warmed to 90,
Spent hours on the phone,
They’re nice when you get them,
But they lock you in at home.
Chickens without heads,
Running round and round,
I’m too old for this!
I’m leaving town.
If the car will start.
One more day of disappointment
Troubled mind along with a heavy heart
Dreary pupils refusing to see clearly
The concept of sadness and sorrow are realized
Elevation is but a dream
The guided light seems miles away,
While trouble resides next door
REM sleep is the only form of satisfaction
Sleep is the patch work for an ongoing problem
Tomorrow, the cycle begins again
Here we go again
I take care of my own
Call your loose women
I'm back
with an attack
I've said it before
so lets settle the score
I'm the best there is
my ego agrees with this
you can't win my friend
I'm not letting this end
Not with you on top
I'll remind you who owns this shop
your in my territory, Doc
so don't come back and knock
and plead "oh, Red I'm sorry!"
it's o.k. no need to worry
Ryan Emerald Damaskis is my name
I am Red and this is my game
I'm not all talk and no fight
But I will keep you waiting, and you'll see my might...
Rose's are black
violence is new
blood is so sweet
and you'll see what I do
