What about Me?

What about Me?

I think too much
Out of touch
Dislike the sight
Don’t feel right
Hate the taste
Faced with waste
Poisoned air
It’s everywhere
Nasty streams
Doubtful dreams
Empty oil
Future toil
Out of stock
Empty dock
Rhyme or reason
Vacant season
Up and down
All around
Where’d it go
Born to slow
Here and there
None to spare
Greedy contraption
Faulty distraction
Political puppetry
Biblical bigotry
Judicially franchised
Jeopardized and legalized
Congressionally monopolized
Senate compromised
Presidential plague
Bogus bootleg
Waging Wars
Mine and yours
Killing in vain
Driving me insane
Why’d you do it
Ravaged right through it
Left us little
A world so brittle
Used it all
Had the gall

Love Needs Us

Love Needs Us

Ignorance is bliss
What can I say?
Off into abyss
Happened one day

Opened up my mind
Talked to my soul
Thought to be kind
Helpful is my goal

God by any name
More if I like
Similes just the same
Souly in my psyche

Nation or states
Native to a land
Corporate gates
All slight of hand

We at planet plenty
Need to get it right
Nature’s looking empty
Future’s in a fright

No time to blame
Do what we can
Hungry and the lame
Helping ordinary man

We’re up to the task
So go ahead and ask
Put action in the prayer
Care is why we share

Lost Souls Love is all you need

Of religion one thing I know for sure
They run on money and sell the cure
Most with gods created by man
Only there god is the god that can
Gods to pray for things man needs
Give what you can to water the seeds
Someone’s in charge they all have that
Jesus, Mohammad, or a Buddha that’s fat
You can follow the crowd and pray out loud
You can trust your guide and go for his ride
But you die alone bare to the bone
So you better be true and know what to do
Feel if it’s real before you seal the deal
Evolution and scriptures and Holy Wars
Killing for religion kicking down doors
Parallel universe and dimensions untold
It’s only more questions answers unfold
Infinity is not on a numbered line
Eternity’s a void in concepts of time
Everyone is looking for the forest please
Elusively hidden behind the trees
In front of the mirror it’s an illusion I see
A body from mother but there’s more to me
No science or evolution will ever grow
The spirit of love I have come to know
All earthly matter and millenniums to breed
Evolve forever but you’ll never succeed
That miracle charm is created above
It takes your soul to share your love
To chance the danger and for a stranger
To cast your greed and help those in need
Perhaps you’ve felt that angel’s wing
Chanced upon the devil’s sting
If you can’t see up you might look down
Cause there’s not enough souls to go around
If there’s any doubt still in your mind
Ask Manson, or Dahmer, or the Bundy kind
There are soulless devils so angels too
Know your Creator gave spirit to you
Shine your light every chance you get
Live to love that’s your best bet
Rest your mind and let it unwind
Just be kind, and peace you’ll find

Surrender

Surrender

Sorry sweetheart
You are right

Kisses my dear
End this plight

Love’s always different
Starts the same

Only or lonely
Itching to tame

From dawn of man
Soon as you can

Random chances
Romantic glances

Feelings inside
Nothings to hide

Emotional dreams
Glazed in extremes

Natural attractions
Serotonin reactions

Cant if you won’t
Loose if you don’t

Hugs and kisses
And wild wishes

Magic of love
Angels above

Like Kings and Gods
Against all odds

Songs and dances
All about romances

In poems and plays
Nights and days

Sensual seasons
Rhyme or reasons

Best and bad
Joyful and sad

Trivia and Trials
Mountains and miles

Give and take
Decisions to make

Missing in action
Jealous reaction

Loud in silence
Sex not violence

Ranting and raving
Misbehaving

Not quite rightly
Resisting politely

Imperfections
Re-directions

Forgive divine
Together sublime

Love galore
More than before

Growing still
My Heart I fill

In love with thee
So turn that key
Make love too me

Don’t Care Anymore

I just don’t care anymore
Life’s not fair anymore

I got no flair anymore
I tried to be real
It’s no big deal
No one’s to blame
Life’s just a game
Days come and go
I really never know
Some times insane
Joyful then in pain
Round and round it turns
Cold and then it burns

I just don’t care anymore
Life’s not fair anymore

I’m not all there anymore
I found myself a honey
Try to save some money
Think I got it right
Suns shining bright
Then my honey’s acting funny
The sky is not so sunny
The moneys getting tight
Nothings going right
Just another bout
With being down and out

I just don’t care anymore
Life’s not fair anymore

Nothing to declare anymore
Time is going quicker
I feel a bit sicker
My body is aching
My hands are shacking
I’m not in a hurry
My vision is blurry
I’m dazed and confused
My brains been abused
I think I thought I could
Now I wonder if I should

I just don’t care anymore
Life’s not fair anymore

Don’t have a prayer anymore
I think I heard a sound
I’m looking all around
The voice is in my head
I wonder what it said
Lost a train of thought
Missing what I bought
I know what I mean
I’m running out of steam
My go got expired
I’m always running tired

I just don’t care anymore
Life’s not fair anymore

I wouldn't dare anymore
When I fall I break a bone
I shouldn’t be left alone
Can’t remember what’s today
I can’t hear what you say
With the ringing in my ear
Only noise is what I hear
If you seen my puzzled look
When I burn the food I cook
Then you’d know theretofore
Why I don’t care no more

JimRaab

Does anybody really care?

Does anybody really care?
The few that do sure are rare
Now our jobs just fad away
Look for work another day
Life is merely one short glance
As lives are lost without a chance
Families are crushed without a clue
And terror strikes more than few
Sad is what we often face
It shows up in our everyplace
For every star that’s in the sky
I know another soul will cry
Even in our joyful cheers
We hide the pain that cries our tears
Homes are lost no place to stay
Save our children now we pray
As sorrow lingers all about
Names of God is what we shout
Waging wars will help a few
And they know just what to do
Battle cries can still be heard
Killing in the name of words
Kill them all without a doubt
Let their gods sort them out
Sad it is that I know
To what lengths we will go
There’s a monster in USA
It does not care what people say
It’s taking all that it can
Has no soul not mortal man
Now breeding power and of greed
Overgrown this destructive weed
Corporate leaders lobby their cause
One by one we follow their laws
Out of control is what they are
Lost our way gone too far
Foolish boy I think I am
Thinking plenty will give a dam
Give me your poor tired and lame
Yes we treat them all the same
I‘m not here on earth to judge
And of you I hold no grudge
In this country I was born
Of this land my heart is torn
To my children I can say
I defied the complacent way
Shout my thoughts across the land
Humanity is my demand
JimRaab

Lost

Lost

In my ways of thinking
Things are changin all the time
Never a need for sadness
Yet life is quite sublime

Where to go from there
Not just round and round
To a place within my fate
Still waiting to be found

Find meaning to some answers
Like where, what, or who
I just woke this morning
With nothing less to do

Of dreams once had
Knowing not intended
In that lovely state
Where time is all suspended

Sadness my conclusion
Can not survive
Void of all delusion
My smiles will arrive

# 70 "Lost and Found."

Lost and Found.

I m going down fast.
In shadows of cast.
A head full of doubt.
Is churning about.
The answers are tart.
Right from the start.
Poetry was my key.
Got the better of me.
I found a self inside.
Hide him I tried.
Truths are reveling.
He is still healing.
I have much to do.
Before I find you.
