All we do is take take take
No room for error or mistake
When fate is at stake
The only two options are make or break
Bad timing leaves me late
Unable to seize the day
Missed opportunity fills my temple with hate
Which can easily be misdirected
Look at all the folks who’ve been affected
By powerful words
Even a healing heart hurts
The pain will help you gain
Understanding that it has to rain
To appreciate the true value of the sun
Thank god for the ability to run
It’s a fun form of meditation
But my only hesitation
Is learn to crawl and walk first
Don’t jump over important growth spurts
There’s a natural progression
Especially experiencing oppression
Can lead to having more compassion
Communities joining forces to take action
Stop nagging and rehashing
Disciplining with verbal lashing
It simply isn’t effective communication
And there’s no immunization
For being taught that bad habit
Dag nabbit I’ve had it
Capitalism is just so evil
Why is our national symbol a bald eagle
Because I happen to think a preying vulture
Might be a better metaphor for America’s consumer culture
Peace and 1
