This is the nursery rhyme thread
A place to post the little songs
That you sing in your head
************************************
I would gladly trade away
All vestiges of a false liberty
For a social contract guarantee
A place to work
A place to live
A way to raise a family
A society with benefits
For its citizenry
The electric grid and the medical profession
It should be given away for free
Access to education at the local free public university
Cheapskate tightwad selfish backward ass country
A corporation controlled and run greedy america
Was something that the founding fathers could not foresee
Not going to bury me
In interest rates and late fees
My country that's not free
I'm tired of tithing to thee
To our brightest and our best
Is this the best that you can do
Your answers and solutions are a joke
Just like you
Standing on our backs
Does that afford a better view
Social architects and engineers
Step up there's work to do
Our country calls on you
The whole world is waiting
To see what we come up with here
If you can't fix what is broke
Throw it all away
Put something new in its place
Imagine what could be
Then turn it into our new reality
Quality of life
Should be part of the new decree
The fundamental basis
For the new society
No need to proclaim equality
In a perfect harmony
We'll all be one
Distributed on and treated equally
United in minds heart and country
A place to post the little songs
That you sing in your head

And all the rest
Recognize that you're blessed
Road is long
The road is wide
I'm on the other side
Be courteous
On your way out the door
You're leaving us
Not getting anymore
No more music
They're sweeping the dance floor
Left all alone
Your essence is your core
You can't shut out
Pain that you hold inside
Don't be about
The things you try to hide
Young trees will snap
If they don't learn to bend
The thunder claps
Before the storm begins
You've had your time
But now you're not so young
Your song's over
Nothing left to be sung
The days are short
The light is growing dim
The dawn won't break
The dark you're drowning in
Let your will be your fuel
What you say is what you do
To yourself you must be true
Follow your own way
Live to see another day
Your fate has been cast
Don't get stuck in your past
Let those who hold you back there
Know that you don't really care
Let them live gone days
Leave them and their ways
The big king pin
On that shoveling crew
Dig a hole for you
The ace of spades
He studied their books and got their grades
Worked hard earned everything he made
Determination never fades
She was the queen of clubs
Too much party
She had to go too soon
On a road to ruin
The queen of clubs
She lived a life of butterfly days
Candled to the wind of their bad ways
It's sad to know she's gone away
This is not something that I'll miss
Feel like punishment's gluttom
I won't pull the plug out on this
I know something is wrong
When the truth from either side hurts
Thick skin won't be thick for long
When cut by a knife made of words
********************************************
Whatcha gonna do
Hey whatcha gonna do
When the big C
Comes calling on you
Are you gonna run
Are you going to hide
Can't get away
It won't be denied
Whatcha gonna do
Hey whatcha gonna do
You want your life
Now it's almost through
Will you try to do
The things that you wanted
Not enough time
Your house is haunted
How you gonna breathe
The last breaths that you know
Will you take them short and slow
Or will you just let them all go
Whatcha gonna do
When time is called on you
Are you gonna pray and cry
Wait for your god to tell you why
Whatcha gonna do
When your light's going out
Will you fall back on your faith
Or will you riddle that with doubt
Got those living out of the greyhound
Downtown bus station depot blues
Lost the key to my belongings
This surely ain't paying no dues
I don't have anything left
And a lot less more to lose
Man says that I have to move
I've seen life from the downside
Bottom's a ceiling over me
Don't have enough for a bus ride
The dirty floor is all I see
I go out to the airport
I watch the planes arrive and leave
Tell me there's no place for my sort
Not much hope but I still believe
Traveling light I feel free
I'm wearing my shirt on my back
The only baggage I carry
Walks inside of my shoes with me
Need to have a sense of the reverence
Trying to get into that sacred space
Still waiting around for deliverance
Transcend and go beyond the commonplace
Keep on trying to make a difference
Try to be a part of the human race
Need to overcome my ambivalence
Have to learn how to be intuitive
About my general overall health
Defying gravity where I must live
That's the only way that I'll heal myself
I know now there's nothing but a fool's gold
In the forges of alchemical fire
Surrender my ego as I grow old
Beat back the urge to express ny desire
It's dusty and hot
Now you can take
What I have not
I'm hauling my load
It's all that I've got
Might get a break
Then I might not
Ready to explode
The lid off the pot
The sun will bake
Then it will rot
i really like them all, a lot. but i especially like this one.
also this:
All the best
And all the rest
Recognize that you're blessed
just touched me.
thanks for your posts!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
You have to know what you're doing
Let go and the path takes you there
When you arrive then you'll know where
Keep your love alive
That's what keeps you sane
There's writings on the wall of your brain
Parts of the soul won't die
Let time wash away the pain
You can stop the clock
But you can't stop time
Start to end one continuous line
It marches forward on
Moving at its own design
*******************************************
See there's the girl watchers
Watching girls go by
They can't look them in the eye
What are they looking for
Hear self-ordained experts
They're the big talkers
Not able to run walkers
They tell themselves their lies
*********************************************
I'm not preaching to the choir
I'm not walking on the wire
Won't hold my feet in the fire
I won't quietky retire
I'm not afraid to tempt fate
It's better never than late
Can't have it now I'll just wait
Unfounded hope is my trait
Thanks for the feedback, I'm never sure if I'm connecting. The above was written after listening to a Caroline Myss webcast. Certain words stood out and stuck with me. I hodgepodged what I liked into my own singsong based on my own homebrew philosophy and weirdo's outlook on life.
This poem does a pretty good job of describing what you must be feeling because after reading it, I caught a shuddering glimpse of what it must be like.
Thanks, DangDang. That's cool that you're able to understand how it feels by just reading this. I would never have been able to imagine it or describe it until it really happened - the big 'C' came calling out for me.
You're over your line
Already got your own
You want to take some of mine
I'll let your shit slide
I'd rather not whine
I know there's a hell
For assholes like you
It comes alive on earth
Part of whatever you do
Your own walking curse
When will it be through
A dry water hole
They're lined up to drink
Pigs like you bellyfull
So full you're starting to stink
Still want to wallow
No brains left to think
I can't get no sleep
But I'm not even wired
I'm so tired
Don't bother to speak
My words are uninspired
I'm so tired
Thoughts are getting old
They're run out and expired
I'm so tired
Nothing left to hold
Dreams have not transpired
I'm so tired
The life that I live
Is not what I desired
I'm so tired
Gave all I can give
There's nothing more required
I'm so tired
Seems a long time gone
Since a thought has been fired
I'm so tired
Feeling drained and drawn
Reserving and retired
I'm so tired
I've worn out the groove
It's rutted and quagmired
I'm so tired
Things don't shake or move
What confusion's conspired
I'm so tired
Left to gnaw the ache
That emptiness has sired
I'm so tired
When will the spell break
My drive has been cross wired
When you're dealing with effects
There's no way to bring back whole and save
What's already been lost gone and wrecked
Always looking for someone
Or something on which to blame
The source might unlock a solution
That and the answer are not the same
The way things always happen
It's not a great mystery
Now's born out of an infinite past
Into all that is and meant to be
Nothing comes down from on high
It flows outward from within
A fool will know this and still ask why
The end is known before you begin
Human nature wants reasons
Even if they don't exist
The need for purpose when there is none
An empty quest that's hard to resist
What if we knew from the start
We're specks in the universe
That doesn't hear the call of our heart
Our fate is a blind unknowing curse
