10. Good to see you, Ghost...
Although sometimes I can only see your shadow as you pass behind me. I turn and there is no one there.
Good to see you again, Ghost. :-)

peace

8. If you were not such a good speller....
and I think "profits" may be the more appropriate term for much of our society. I would hope it was not the majority, but I am not sure.

Nowadays, I think the words of the prophets may be written on the subway blogs?

There is injustice. There is poverty. There is violence and killing. There is hopelessness. That is our enemy.

They hang out in the shadows, under the bridges, with their cans of spraypaint, just to mark their territory. They hate the man. They hate the system. They hate those that are not like them.

So the seeds are sown. Our very own homegrown terrorists. Our very own Palestinians. Poverty should be our enemy. Ignorance is no less an enemy. People must have their basic needs met in any society that dreams to survive. Also, education must satisfy the basic human need to learn.

....the sounds of silence.

"People writing songs that voices never shared"
Did you know that more anti-war songs are written these days than EVER before? My radio doesn't seem tune them in, though... High-tech isn't all it's cracked up to be, I guess. My radio in the sixties tuned them in just fine. Go figure

14. Push Comes to Shove
http://www.archive.org/download/donna2008-09-19.madtaper.flac/donna2008-09-19d3t03_64kb.mp3

All you Wall Street bloodsuckers
Thinking you're so swell
Though you've made us nothing to eat
Nothing to wear, nothing to sell
Go tell the hungry it's your superior destiny
That allows you diamond buttons on your coat
I dare say you'll gurgle a different tune
When they slit your throat

Chorus:
When good turns to evil
And push comes to shove
We must save the world
With an act of love

What we need's a little kindness
Reach out and touch my hand
Open up your heart
And adhere to nature's plan

All you army generals
With the orgasm of war up your rump
Tell me again how lucky I am
To come home with one arm and a stump
And all you wicked politicians
Destroying our great land
I know the day will soon be at hand
When your evil ways will be stricken
Your skin's gonna boil like a deep fried chicken

I went to see the president
He had a bruise on his shoulder where big business places its thumb
His breath was powerful, and he reeked of compromise
The force of evil is the disregard for the beauty that surrounds us
And the lessons that it teaches
So find a place where your feelings run pure
And the only law is the law of Nature

J.Puryear


We CAN save the world.
Peace
CE
