Call of Nature

I am at one with myself
I am the tree trunk that grows from the ground
As the branches and twigs move when the wind blows
I myself remain robust

Extentions of my life break off and die
Or just exist to practice irrelevance
Accepting I am the livelihood to willing dependants
And therefore needed suggests a great responsibility

And requires an even greater sense of commitment,
Patience and empathy from oneself
In the unfortunate circumstance I should grow weak and fall
Those who also rely upon my strength will topple alongside

So it would be in their best interest
To seize being deadweight and endevour to unify efforts
In the never ending hope of longevity

I will stand as tall as I can for as long as I can
But can not guarantee my position
When mother nature takes course
And hits me with all that she has

Such a pitty my proposal will fall onto branches and twigs
Whom of course have no ears so do not hear me
Leaving me to haul deadweight alone for as long as I'm capable

A twig is but a twig, a branch is but a branch
A group of branches and twigs aiding my life long mission
To be the tallest, strongest tree in the whole of the land
Shall render any force formed against me as inadequate
And lead us onto an inevitable path to prosperity

To those that do hear what I have to say
I bid you farewell and leave you with a thought or two
Whilst I make like a tree and leaf

Life Cycle

A person is born, a person lives, a person dies
The cycle starts all over again

A person laughs, a person smiles, a person cries
These emotions are expressed over again

Little girls and little boys
eventually turn into women and men

A person is born, a person lives, a person dies
The cycle starts all over again

When I Die

When I die bury me in the sky
So I can look out over the earth far and wide

When I die bury me in the sky
So I can see if there is life on mars as I'm passing by

When I die bury me in the sky
So I can shine like a star, it's my time

Oh when I die bury me in the sky
For reasons that are personal

You don't need to know why
Bury me in the sky when I die

Eyes That Can'T See

Open as wide as the Canyon
but still they can't see

Every day they witness Evil
but still they can't see

Heart ache and pain in full view
but still they can't see

Blessed with perfect eyesight
so how is it these eyes can not see
