Lifework

The life I trade
The life I made
The life I prayed.

Big Dreams

We all have dreams whether or not they come true that depends on you. Dreams just 
don’t happen you have to make them happen. You may think you will never get your 
dreams. But anyone can have their dreams it will not be easy. If you want something 
bad enough you got to do whatever it takes to get it. The harder you work at it the 
easier it will come true. Never give up you just have to work harder keep trying sooner 
or later you will get that dream. You may even have to work nonstop if you do you will 
see how fast you come out on top. “SO KEEP DREAMMING AND NEVER STOP”.

The Madness Stopped

One day the madness all suddenly stopped

Then we realized how many times the ball got dropped

More times then just a very few

It cost us many people just like you

Now patience is a complete must

As we work to gain some kind of trust

If only we share one simple word

At least from each other we still have heard

Hoping that what some how just seemed to begin

Hasn't already started to come to an end

We felt so blessed by the current events

Maybe things will no longer be in a past tense

We work hard and we may even pray a lot

But life's good and awesome chances we've now got!

We Are Never Free

We are never free,
We are slaves, slaves with free will
But free will is too an illusion
An illusion of us as a nation,
An illusion that shows justice raining supreme
But supreme, is the devil with his lies 
And nothing but lies, that lie with the truth of all deception
“AWAKEN, FILTER OUT THE LAUGHTER’S IN THE SCREAMS” shouts the child 
We are but stems planted,
In the soil of their commands.
They water us with thoughts,
That continues to divide us
”OUR MINDS IS NOT OF OUR OWN” shouts the child
It is of men with power, 
It is of woman with power,
And of the shadows that strings their lips,
And governs the words they say,
Words that they say us,
To reassure us
US the slaves with “free will”.
“WE WORK AND WORK, AND WORK BUT THE DEPT IS NOT OUR OWN” shouts the child
A dept which never ceases to grow,
And grow like the greed that grows in US.

Day Off

It's my day off
And I need to rest
So for the work week
I'll be at my best.

There's chores to do, 
Well of course there are.
If I don't start soon
I won't get far.

Laundry and dishes
And wash the floors,
Clean the bathroom,
The most hated of chores.

Clean the birdcages.
They're messy but sweet
And no one would call
My desktop neat.

The dust on the bookcases
Is about an inch thick
So a dust cloth or garden hose,
Just take your pick.

The plants are drooping,
They're thirsty as well.
All week I've let 
This place go to hell.

No time for T.V.
No time to write.
If I don't start now
I'll be cleaning all night.

It's my day off.
Off from what ?  I say.
I work hard at my job
But I'll work harder today.

Disability

26 June 08    9:00 am

I walk a lot softer than I used to

I walk a lot slower than I used to

I work a lot less than I used to

I work a lot slower than I usde to

But I love a lot more than I used to

Because Maybe I'M Just Crazy

I'm struck with a feeling
I can't shrug off
It's been here 3 years
Like a rusty old lock
 
I quit popping pills,
Though I'm still in fear
That I'll never escape 
after all these years
 
And I
Wish I didn't feel so alone
In my mental state confusion
 
Because
No one is willing to feel this pain
It cannot be forgotten
It only starts again
 
Because I forgot about the days
When to work was just to play
When I couldn't help but feel so free
Because I wasn't ruining me
 
So for the first time ever
I got on my knees
And asked to someone I don't believe
In something I can't even see
 
Right at that moment I felt a breeze
In my heart, and someone said, 
"Remember"
 
Because I forgot about the days
When to work was just to play
When I couldn't help but feel so free
Because I wasn't ruining me...

Man's Work

OH THE whole worlds come, come all 
We fill up the world maritime with soil-
I know that is against natural appeal
Therefore our precious time shall we fritter away;
For where we hollow out the soil from
There shall we leave another sea-
Where then shall we term residence?
But uh humanity come a few, hardly any hands
We lug this edifice down to ground,
And we put a new-fangled one in its place-
I discern that work is trouble-free
For work of the hands of man
Shall never last long into the future,
It can be ruined in a day, any time.

Communication

The word is that two wrongs won't make it right!
Communication is a weapon that calms down most fights.
Be open minded, don't see everything one way.
When it comes to the rules of life, don't hesitate.
Why do we tend to do the things that we do?
When all we have to do is communicate Boo!!
Why make situations harder than they have to be?
When all we have to do is sit down, work it out, and communicate see.
Communication, what does that mean?
There are far more words that can come out of your mouth.
Forget about fighting, sreaming, and cursing them out!
I'm having a hard time communicating with my mate.
When I want to talk and work it out, he always hesitate.
My love is true and devistates my mind.
I try to do better but he gives me such a hard time.
Communication, where do I begin?
In his eyes I speak nothing, so how can I win?

Never

When disrespect is given 
Never expect generosity
When fakeness is proven 
Never expect the same treat
When a sorry is said but not taken in action 
Don’t ever imagine or wait for forgiveness
In this case it is never granted
Cold frosty rude looks should be from the person 
Who got no respect?
Not the other way round
Life is there; don’t wait for good things to come
Go running after them
Take each opportunity 
Strengthen each relationship 
Hard work is the key for every success
Organize your life
Schedule each day 
Live with gratefulness for being alive
Live with hope for what good to come
Never expect happiness is in your house
Unless you open its door
Cover your sadness
Never show you’re weak
Communicate and socialize
Meet new friends
And never forget old ones
Never rely or depend on anyone
Be independent 
Don’t beg for any needs
Live and work 
Earn and buy 
If you want something 
Do it your self
Feel some pride
Ignore silly mistakes
Always remind yourself
Of how a greater person you would be
For doing something an ordinary couldn’t…

After a Days Work

after a days work i am ready to 
unwind
drink a beer smoke a blunt just to 
ease my mind
to also put me in a mode to relieve 
my stress
and stay focused on my task which 
is being the best
sometimes i just chill and stay in the 
house
it depends on how i feel whether or 
not i'll go out
and be amongst friends as we paint 
the town
i don't have a clue as to what may 
go down
i just go with the flow and enjoy my 
life
after a days work it's my god given 
right
to kick up my feet and do as i please
it's up to me when i get off what i 
do with my cheese

Time To Fly a Kite

Oh to sail the winds as the eagle soars
	And fly away so free
To escape from the crushing pace we create
	The hammock calls to me
The deer grazing in the sun-splashed field
	Enjoying the late day sun
Taxi to taxi, subway to train, hurrying to the next delay
	Lost is our time for fun
Chipmunks scurrying hither and yon, butterfly-like 
	Working and playing all day
Office to home, then work a little more
	We seldom take time to play
Even animals play after their work is done
	Can’t we look around and take a cue
Driven, obsessed, myopic we’ve become
	Let’s fly a kite for a bird’s eye view
Shall we?

The Summer Cottage

Our little wooden cottage
    nestled by the sea,
Our get-away, our hideaway,
    just there for you and me.

No T.V. and no telephone,
     but fun there is to be,
Swimming, tanning, frolicking,
     in our cottage by the sea.
  
I love this time we spend alone
     when the rat-race we must flee.
To eat and sleep and just relax
     in our cottage by the sea.

The waves that lap our feet by day,
       the shade given by the tree,
We laugh, we love, we skinny-dip
       when from our work we're free.

And when one day our work is done
      and from our jobs we're free,
Then you and I will always live
     in our cottage by the sea.

I Am Bored With Everyday Chores

There was a naughty girl, and the naughty girl was she

She worked a crossword puzzle, while she had her cup of tea 

        Poured another cup, ......she should get up!
                                      for chores and roll her sleeves

She had much work to do, but her good intentions flew
                                                         like feathers in a breeze

Instead of mops and brooms, she would sing a cheery tune...
      while she danced around the room..

Sudsy dish pans full....but Mother Nature pulled
                                           her to the sunshine for a stroll

        Her bed unmade, her bills unpaid,
        But instead she picked a daisy

Beneath a sunny sky
......she heard the lullaby
                    of the birds that sing on high

        She had meals to cook
                but would rather look
                          at the snowtop hills nearby

So much work undone, and the dinner?......NONE!

But she fed her soul instead!

Sitting Here Thinking

I am sitting here alone, my partner is in bed
I am still up here, while she rests her head
I have been off work for two whole weeks
I’ve been off with stress, troughs and peaks

I feel better now; so back it’s back to work I go
I won’t have much time, but at work it goes so slow
When working in my office full time it can be tough
Sometimes it gets as though enough is enough

I was so stressed that I couldn’t go on
I came home from work my self esteem gone
I needed a well earned rest from everything I do
Everyone deserves a rest I think so don’t you?
