Changing

Once it’s said it’s much too late
Hurt feelings don’t hesitate
The rush in like so many times before
Reciprocation leaves you broken, on the floor.
Things said with no thought or concern,
Slow this time, there’s much to learn,
Remember what happens when there’s anger in your head,
Forget competition or what some else said.
Look deep inside yourself, the answers lies there,
A fit of anger becomes a moment of care,
You’ve been here before, go back in your mind,
Don’t lash out or retaliate, say something kind,
You can change today; it’s not too late!

Don’t go

Be safe
I always said
Be safe
don’t play
where you shouldn’t go
Always look before
you go
Always know
there’s somewhere else
to go
I said
don’t play
I said
don’t play
At the side of the road
don’t play
where you shouldn’t go
Be safe
I told you so
I always said
don’t go
don’t go
where you shouldn’t
You know
not to go
On that side of the road

Alone

Its rush hour
The streets are filled with people
Rushing here and there
But for me the streets are empty
There’s no one there to care
I am lonely in crowd
I always pray for rain
To hide the tears I cry for you again
To hide the tears I cry thinking of you
Again
May the crack of dawn embrace me
Warm my heart and soul
May the first thing that I see
Be the beauty of your face
A gentle breeze blows through your hair
I smell the ocean there
Your perfect skin so soft and smooth
Your silhouette on the wall
The way you move
Just a few things to start the day
Those special things
Take my breath away
Its rush hour
The streets are filled with people
Rushing here and there
But for me the streets are empty
There’s no one there to care
I am lonely in crowd
I always pray for rain
When I'm alone
In a crowd
When I'm alone
I cry out loud
When I'm alone
I always pray for rain

Tribe

I sit on the porch
screaming kids
argue
about their world
their problems
who plays net
I do
no I do
who goes first
I do
cuz it’s
my ball
the bosses of the future are born
their years are the union
their ages bond
are their ever too many spear carriers
like too many chiefs?
