John Burger Poem
It is silly and it's sad--
and at times it's oh, so bad--
It's all so very crazy, but it's life.
First you're thought of, then you're born,
Before you know it you are torn,
Everywhere you turn and look there is strife.
Everybody draws their plan--
Every woman, every man--
Yet the pieces of their puzzle seldom fit;
Life is stupid and unfair
and few people seem to care,
I'm surprised that more of us haven't quit.
But some say life is better now--
Why I gripe, they don't see how--
They say I have no real reason to complain;
Yet my results have long been in:
In the end, I just don't win--
After all, there's very little that I've gained.
Still, I'm compelled to stand and fight
because I'm told that ther is light:
"Everybody gets rewarded in due time";
So I hope that I'll soon see
the answer to life's mystery,
And the reason in life's rhyme.

John Burger Poem
If people would sometimes let others be right,
Then there would be no more reason to fight.
No reason to have any enemies -
Which would help to set the world free.
But sometimes people won't give up their pride:
They want everyone to be on "Their Side".
But others see that this isn't right,
Yet that's the reason fools like to fight.
Fighting is good to show your strength,
But it also shows your short mental length.
You see, what I am trying to say
Is to let the fool have his own way;
Maybe then some would agree
That the world is a good place to be.

John Burger Poem
When my aisle of view
puts its focus on you
It makes me want to be a better man;
When my line of sight
puts you in its light
I want to be the very best I can.
There's no one else, it's only you -
Your smile keeps me from feeling blue -
And there is magic in the touch of your hand,
When I'm with you I feel alive
And I know I can survive
All the evil that exists in this land.
Yes, it's you whom I can see
to help me solve life's mystery -
To help me live and love and laugh - every day,
And it's you whom I can trust
to show me what I must
do to prove my love for you in every way.
Oh, I need to shout and sing
about the wonders that you bring -
There's nothing good I'd hesitate to say;
Yes, my aisle of view
shows me how much I love you,
And I want to love you each and every day!
