Time For Grub
10-24-04

And so I will search my spirit
To see if I can find a hue and flavor that will suit
As miracles go on all around us
When the trees so yield their fruit
And as well the land will yield her sustenance and increase
As we'll strive for the mastery of love, joy and peace
And still we will measure the good stuff
In units of scruples and drams
As watching television late at night can make one hunger
With its advertising scams
As at three in the morning you view a commercial
With a close up view of burgers and fries
And you see that ten years has got behind you
And it's a wonder how time flies
So you need to do your best
And see that you live for the here and now
And be content with the fruit of the vine
And the milk of the cow....





Asking The Question, Who's We
10-24-04

And now that I've found these golden keys
And silver hewing tools
I know that I never again need feel left all alone
As I realize the benefits of writing down such commandments
And rules with no longer an intent to set up those statues of stone
And today there are so many things for us to say
But it seems we are dull of hearing
As well as dull of speech
And sometimes all we can really do is pray
And we wonder how will we one day be apt to teach
For to this day I am a man of silence
And I'm quite aloof and reserved
And I must say that at times this can be quite like violence
In seeing that bestowed upon me is more than I deserve
But I cannot complain
For my soil has been blessed with rain
And again I passed the test
For it was graded on a curve....





Where It Gets Deep
10-25-04

And so I ponder over a philosophy
That maybe indeed we have our spiritual umbilical cord
As such a source so is inexhaustible
As to be found are all treasures  of knowledge
Every day in the good Lord
And upstate New York
It seems the leaves will change sooner
As in the meantime we can count all our blessings
Of the solar and the lunar
And in the shallow waters
It might appear frivolous and superficial
But let us wade out a little further
Where it gets too deep
For here is where you can call the authenticity official
And it is known we cannot judge such a thing before it's time
For what yesterday may have seemed trifling
Today can be made to rhyme....
