That's right I don't
I don't because I don't see
I don't because I don't hear
I don't because I can't command
I don't because anything I do don't matter
Because there is a God
And He controls...

Global girth seems to gain all the time,
Giants garnering world's every dime,
The rich grab all the pie--
Why the poor poorer die
In the world, piling wealth's when no crime.

Fine, lemon you find sweet is sweat lime,

wrapped in her mysterious smile,
no one listened to her silence

I am a glass,
important in your life;
I hold selected drinks
to quench your thirst.
At your side-
in both good times and strife-

find myself in vortices 
that tear in two ways
left
right
torn asunder

Flooded feelings

or push

Let me sit
upright
or squat
or everything...
