REALITY

SO EASY

So easy; oh oh

So easy to forget
Forget and neglect
Forget, neglect and fret
Forget, get upset, then regret

So easy to look away
Look away, then walk away
Look away, sway, misplay
Look away, stray and downplay

Maybe it'd be better
To confront actuality
Maybe it'd be better
To confront reality.

So easy to ignore the signs
Ignore the deadlines
Ignore the guidelines and confines
Ignore the signs and resign

So easy to forget
So easy to look away
So easy to ignore the signs
So easy; very easy

IT'S BAD

It's bad; it's sad

Too many wars; not enough peace
Too many rules; not enough freedom
It's bad; it's sad
Too much hatred; not enough love
Too much sadness; not enough joy
Too much fear; not enough security
Too much anxiety; not enough calm

What should be done?  It’s bad
What should we do? 

Too many disasters; not enough precautions
Too many mistakes; not enough precision
Too many problems; not enough solutions
Too many worries; not enough reassurance

It’s bad; it’s sad

So much negativity; so little positivity

Too much control; not enough liberty
Too much dishonesty; not enough good intention
Too much corruption; not enough correction
Too much indecision; not enough resolution

ENJOY YOUR LIFE

Enjoy
Enjoy your life while you can; if you can

Love your friends & family
Love your home & food
Try; strive
Love your surroundings & activities
Love your creations & yourself

Have fun; be happy
Explore; and learn
Be attentive; be positive
Be active; be inquisitive

Love the many cultures & languages
Love the many plants & animals
Love going out & staying in
Love surprises & routine
Love new possessions & old treasures
Love the sunlight & the moonlight

Enjoy
Try; strive

WHAT?

What matters most; is what most matters

What needs are real; is what you really need

What you mean to say; should be what you really mean

What hurts the most; is what really hurts

What you’re hoping for most; is hope 

What reason is there for being reasonable? 

So, what?

WHERE  ?

Where are you?

Are you safe?

Where?

SENSELESS LOSS

Listen, and question

Children laughing; then crying
Children screaming; then dying

Why? Why? Why?

Observe, and question; observe

Wildlife thriving; then dying
Wildlife declinging; disappearing

Why? Why? Why? Don't ignore it.

Such a senseless looss; a senseless loss of life

Grown-ups laughing; then crying
Grown-ups screaming; then dying

Aquatic life thriving; then dying
Declining; then disappearing

Why?
Listen; observe, and question
Such a senseless loss of life.  Why?

PUSSY CAT

Purring; meowing

Hiding; watching; sleeping

Following me around
Curling up beside me
Reaching out with her paw
Cuddling with me

I NEED SOLACE

Crying; hiding; denying; trying

It’s so hard to accept
I cannot seem to confront

The reality; the reality

Feeling; dealing
Reeling; failing

Reality

I need solace; solace
I feel so helpless and restless
Powerless and lifeless

Reality; I need solace
