I don’t know how many millions or billions
Of sparrows there are, but the Father does
How can he know when each sparrow falls?
He knows every detail because
He is infinite and omniscient
He counts every hair on your head
He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds
He makes certain that each one is fed
What do I say to my little girl
On the day that her grandfather dies?
In that silence when we both know he’s not coming back
I hold her and sing as she cries…
He is infinite in his love for you
To prove it he left heaven’s throne
He died on the cross and he rose from the dead
He’s preparing a place for his own
So why should I worry about my life,
Or what I should eat, drink, or wear
Why should I fear what the future may hold?
Just consider the birds of the air
He is infinite and omnipotent
He knows every path that you tread
He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds
And makes certain that each one is fed
When you grieve for a loss or your life’s at a crossroads,
You don’t know which path is God’s way,
Remember his Word says his will for you
Is rejoice and give thanks and to pray
He is infinite in his love for you
To prove it he left heaven’s throne
He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds
How much more does He care for His own?*
*Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

Madness
Take me away, far far away to your madness;
In your asylum of thoughts you do deny, and you punish me to fuel your unforgiving lie.
Take me away, up up up into your cloud
where my heart does death and dies;
Wish me then, an unwellness there, on your cloud of pretence, and I see it , the fool in your eyes .
Crow in the trees , you chorus your sqawrk of dis ease ;
I, my heart broken to your content; You are pleased to tare me apart; I know of your judgement;
Here on the cloud of sorrow; On your branch you squawrk and you flap, scratching your itch, taring my heart apart; It's your rap, where your words and complaints and your explanations of no sorry you sent;
Echoes the alarm , take me far far away to your madness, bent up in your arms .
Cease the moment and love unfolds
Stay within and time is still
A thousand swords swing against a single bladed spear
A surviving champion feared has the advantage
How long can his strength hold out
Slice and slash, lunge and pull a hundred dead before you
Shaky swords gleam in the scorching sun
You sweat but they bleed a hundred more fall
Like a haunting ballad of death, beauty in motion
a single soul as machine cuts and slaughters
a wall of human flesh the thirsty ground drinks blood
My enemies have come for my people
an invasion of a force too strong
Refusing to surrender, refusing to betray
a hundred more fall
Bewitched and stun are his foe
admiring his skill and technique
his will and his strength, raw courage
He fights for freedom of his people, for a love he never speaks
to a Queen he swears complete devotion
Down they fall a hundred here a hundred there
Around and around he swirls his mighty spear
the blade so sharp their blood so red
and again a hundred more are dead
How by heavens can he go on
The lord of his enemies lower his hand
two hundred archers shoot a shower of arrows
He swings high his bladed spear a hundred arrows
cut in half and a hundred foe shot down dead
A young princess in shiny armor aims her bow and shoots
her arrow pierces through his chest as he stops cold
Hunched over and held up by clinging to his grounded spear
Whats left of the swordsmen too afraid to approach
Amongst the circle of dead he lifts up his head
his life bleeding away, the mighty warrior screams out
My Queen lives, she is free and breathes his last breath
The princess in her armor of gold approaches him
across the field of death she reaches the mighty warrior
His head bowed his body stands, his hands death grip on his spear
His blood spilled onto the ground she knows he finally dies
My Lord, My Father he is dead, shall we feed his corspe to the dogs
No. He is honored by fire, burned onto a mountain of his
slain enemies, flames roar high, as his spirit ascends
into a realm of peace for a taste of Nirvana
I DON'T CARE
(verse 1)
Do you think I'm really lost,
what makes your religion my salvation?
How much will it really cost,
for the deluxe package of aggravation?
Rush to church on Sunday.
Crush the weak on Monday.
You better get out of my face,
and get off of my case.
(chorus)
I don't care,
and can't care........About your kind!
I never did care,
and never will care...............For you!
(verse 2)
Go off and fight your wars,
for your religious leaders or emperors.
Super troopers of death hiding behind their crosses,
never look back on all of the losses.
History is full of lies,
and time never dies.
Don't think I like,
and never will like.
(chorus)
I don't care,
and can't care........About your kind!
I never did care,
and never will care...............For you!
(verse 3)
They came to America from across the sea,
and the natives welcomed them with food.
The foreigners took greed to a new degree,
by killing the buffalo only for their fur.
When they raped the land from the tribes,
they forced the people to live on reservations.
They slaughtered their women and children,
and then burned down their villages.
(chorus)
I don't care,
and can't care........About your kind!
I never did care,
and never will care...............For you!

Song of Love and Joy
What tune is this that stems from heart,
The voice of soul love-vibes impart
To light that flame before too long,
Before love dies and passions part.
Sing now, sing, of her love stoked song
Let her feel, how there you belong,
In her domain that strums romance,
Where lyrics of love laud lifelong.
Waltz with allure of graceful stance,
Spin with tease of her stolen glance,
Stand not still as your dreams pass by,
Lure your life to a gracious dance.
Smile with the dawn that thrills blue sky,
Watch it thrive donning crimson dye,
Wear your joy while you trumpet life,
Snatch her before love goes awry.

“This world is but thought and thoughts fade away ~
Eternal is God’s love, that’s here to stay”
~ quote by poet
Alive here on earth, what we know is this
What is born, will die, suffering decay
Though fleeting are moments of happiness
We hope one day bliss will be here to stay
Mind tells us we’re here for a short sojourn
But heart assures there’s more to us than this
Ceasing doubting, our soul befriends silence
In timeless time we’re drenched in mists of bliss
Yes, body decays and so does our mind
Yet it’s but the vehicle we ensoul
Oh worthy hermit, we are living light
Made in God’s image, as scriptures extol
Awake! Arise! That that dies, never was
We’re here but to live, learn and smile awhile
To share God’s love and light and so ascend
Ambling along with joy, mile after mile
Bilocating consciousness, truth is known
Birth, decay and death is an illusion
Likening earth life as a lucid dream
Awakened soul is free from delusion
“we woke up early one morn, ego shorn
it felt as though we were in form reborn
nodes within stirred, boundaries blurred
our head and heart, with love concurred”
(line of inquiry)
Tears fell upon a senseless blank page,
as self-pride suppressed dark vents of rage.
We become silent when words don't engage,
until we are touched by verses from a sage.
Some arrive as a mentor with a mystic gaze,
save us from being misplaced in ego's maze.
As silver serpent skin begins to shed,
we learn to walk a path where the sincere tread.
With poetic expression a tale adorned.
In the early dawn ink's ego was torn.
Quill's rebirth reflecting a radiant sunrise,
evolved the mind to portray sapphire skies.
An alchemist's heart spoke of love's sweet strings.
A melody mutating like butterfly wings.
Vanity cast away, as a cold heart warmed.
A rhapsody of roses with white petals formed.
Emotions weaved words through the veil of time,
in a fusion of metrically composed rhyme.
With each beat, a rhythm of stanzas poured.
In the canvas of life a masterpiece concurred.
In union, poetry whispers through the air,
cosmic swirls only honest poets share.
As ego dies, speech become a divine exchange.
Souls ignite when toxic thoughts begins to change.
Their blood is red and hides beneath their skin,
They bleed and scream aloud when they are killed,
We call them beasts, but they are human's kin,
They beg for life when furry skins are peeled.
A bit of kindness is their sole demand
For survival and for a healthy earth.
The rhino who's been slain with an iron brand,
Wanted to play around the fields in mirth.
But now she strives to catch her final breath,
While gasping, panting in futility
Before she dies a slow and painful death,
Without accursing whole humanity.
Her two rare horns beckoned untimely end
To her life, which adorns the woody clime,
While on a stag, sad death still does impend,
His antlers would provoke men commit a crime.
For them this forest air secretly weeps,
I hear the dirge in sobs of shady leaves,
'They'll be extinct', a murmuring voice creeps,
And for lost human kindness mourns and grieves.

When, like your own very death, you hear,
Early morning, in an unexpected hour;
That a person who you have been seeing,
Every day, as a journalist, and admiring;
His realistic reporting on things and events,
As original as they are with full commitments;
Is no more and you'll not hear him anymore,
And his soul toward highest heavens sore…
.....................................
................................................
This was what I felt when I heard the demise,
Of Kamal Khan, of N.D.T.V, who suddenly dies…
.....................................
................................................
I’ve seen him calling a spade a spade,
None could dare, his genuineness, invade;
A person with deeply reflected insights,
On society, religion and vivacious politics;
He stood out unique for his perspectives,
His great expression of words and verses;
A generous person, and a loving human,
Who enjoyed hilly truth; little mammon…
.....................................
................................................
May his soul Rest In Peace I pray,
May he enjoy his heavenly stay...!
May he report to us what’s really above,
May his truthfulness inspire us, truth, to love…!

The world in her eyes
Has azure blue skies
Fields of emerald green
And fluttering butterflies
The world in her eyes
The songbird sings and flies
Over flowers alight with color
Spring waves “hello”, never “goodbye”
The world in her eyes
Has rainbows in the sunrise
Has a silvery full moon
And millions of golden stars in the sky
The world in her eyes
Has mushrooms on high
A world of swirling color
That can mystify and hypnotize
The world in her eyes
Has whisky, vodka, rum and rye
Beer and wine to warm and cheer
All spirits to satisfy
The world in her eyes
We ride the Polar Express for dimes
And Ted Bear is your engineer
More or less at times
The world in her eyes
Is great and huge of size
With towering trees that bow in the breeze
And soaring mountains and oceans wide
The world in her eyes
We always stay outside
We run and play games all day
Until the dusk of night
The world in her eyes
There are who’s, but no why’s
Wear your ‘Barba-loot’ suite
Dr. Seuss is your guide
The world in her eyes
Has chocolate candy, cherry tarts and apple pies
All good sweet things to eat
That will go right to your stomach and thighs
The world in her eyes
There are laughs, but no sighs
Anger and sorrow fade away
Tears of joy are cried
The world in her eyes
All is truth and never lies
No need to ever run
No need to ever hide
The world in her eyes
The road may be rocky and winds
The night may be dark and cold
But there’s always a brilliant sunrise
The world in her eyes
Sometimes passes me by
Like running on empty
But in our dreams we fly
The world in her eyes
Never sees the demise
Only the creation
God’s hand on land and skies
The world in her eyes
There are no wrongs just rights
The world is one big happy family
With dancing, songs and beautiful sights
The world in her eyes
Sees through the disguise
The false faces we make
To try and hide
The world in her eyes
Sees castles on high
Secrets to keep in barrow’s down deep
Flying horses to ride
The world in her eyes
Where nobody dies
You’re just resurrected
Back to new lives
The world in her eyes
Sees souls to rise
To Heaven to be saved
She has angel eyes…
