Please look into a mirror
Before reacting otherwise
Before knee-jerking and crying wolf
Check for dark spots in your eyes
You claim
Dark spots on the sun
My aim
Is not to prove you wrong
Only to make sure
Any dark spots you may spy
Are actually on the sun
And not painted on your eyes
Why do people not see
The value in truth?
Honesty is Abe Lincoln
Not John Wilkes Booth
Still the lies get the lines
At the media’s ass-kissing booth
While integrity’s gone missing
And the truth gets the boot
And if you’re reading this
Only one thing
Just one thing I’d like for you to take away
Take an ‘m’ from Ammo
From just Ammo to Amo
You’ll find yourself in Love today1
A E I O U
Sometimes Y
But why only sometimes
And in vowels
Why E before I
When it’s I before E
Except after C for everyone else
I know exactly how it feels
To feel exactly like this
Only now I’m dancin’ ‘round
Like it’s nobody’s biz
As you listen to the sound
You can feel its heart beat
While the world’s still spinnin’ ‘round
Come on
Share it with me
Come dance with me
So I surrender
White flag waving
I’m a prisoner of your love
And there will be no saving
Yeah, I surrender
White flag waving
It’s an addiction I have
For your love
And in its quicksand
I am caving in
…And with your help
If I play it smart
I just might reach the stars
And that’s where I was aiming - rAveNswAn
All I had in mind
The world for you
To highlight you
Take the light held in my hand
And shine on you
But they had different plans
As only a shadow on the grave
The shadow reflects the man
But fear
Although it does what shadows can
The shadow cannot shed a tear
Tis but a shadow on the grave
And that’s all I’ve got to say
Then with my head high in the clouds
I turn and walk away
With just a sunny day
Leadin’ my way - rAveNswAn
I am the pleasure
I am the pain
Bring sunny weather
Hell brings the fire
I bring the rain
Ashes to flood
Cold is the water
Warm is the blood
Full cycle again
I am the pleasure
I am the pain
…In a virgin bank
Of bleach white snow
But it’s the sun
That tints it now
Creates the hue
The rays it sends
Twisting through
Translucent bends
It brings to you
The otherwise and dangerous hue
Of Polar Bear Blue
Polar Bear Blue
o alter my perspective
I first alter the words
From parking meter
To parking meet her
The value much preferred - rAveNswAn
Mr. Calmwater
Mr. Calmwater
Here come
The ragin’ seas
Mr. Calmwater
Mr. Calmwater
Help us
Oh help us please
Love
Love
It may come easy
But how do you make it stay
How can you make love stay…
Just stating you will thrive
Is not the same as thriving
And saying you will survive
Is not the same as surviving
Be the lion
Loving every day we get another chance
Step on life’s floor
Step out
And enjoy
The dance
Happy New Year world!
Have a great 2019 and don’t forget, every day you wake up is an opportunity to dance through life! - rAveNswAn
A man sits behind
The woman he wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
A woman sits behind
The man she wants and needs
Back to back they sit
In back to back restaurant seats
…But a skeleton skull
And a carrion crow
With its eyes on tomorrow
And a stomach that is full
Those who can give
Give
Those who can let live
Let live
So those who need water
Drink
And those who need water
Drink
That’s how life rolls
In the land of Sync Think…
