What if Horton hadn't heard a Who?
or Winnie hadn't been called 'Pooh?'
What if Lucille* hadn't played the blues?
or plaintiffs couldn't find defendants to sue?
What if an atheist got elected Pope?
or a lasso weren't made of rope?
What if doting grandmas would say 'Nope?!'
or if little boys ever washed with soap?
If any of these things ever come true
then I'd be the first to agree:
Horton never heard a Who!
* 'Lucille' was the name of the guitar
of the famous blues performer, B.B. King

At Horton's first day at the nursing home
figured he had nothing to lose,
working for the elderly,
and the confused,
most of them being deaf
and wearing hearing aids,
Horton still had to repeat himself,
time and time again,
when Horton would speak,
all the elderly would say "Who?"
as if they knew Horton was finished talking,
right on cue,
so Horton started talking real loud,
and speaking real clear and slow,
till finally they started looking,
like they were in the know,
then Horton's voice got raspy
from talking loud each day,
the elderlys hearing once again
diminished in the fray,
so Horton was about to give up,
feeling he was in a communication rut,
till one fateful day,
instead of "who" they all said "what?"

I look into your eyes and perceive your driving force
Heavy is this Heart as it consumes the essence of your greed
Lost in a spiral. ....The decent begins
With All your years of wisdom. ....wealth is all you seek
I have tried ....to warn you from yourself
Yet...you see me as a Fool
Mercy on Our Souls....isn't part of your agenda
Your thoughts explode into our Home....
I Hear You.......
I See You.....
I Feel You. ....
In The Lord's Light. ...
We Are Hear..... We Are Hear.....
