Free Man

Free Man

Want to be a free man

Then you got to take a stand

Break from the 9 to 5

Or work for the man

Neither defines freedom

Because it is found within

Learning contentment

Is the place to begin

My skills they limit me

But I don't see

The risk I gotta take

If I want to be free

To be 

Authentic

Poetic

Romantic

Even Mathematic

Dull as door knob

Or Crazy Charismatic

Two roads winding

Through this life of mine

A road perceived

A road that is real

The road less travelled

Is rarely trodden by foot

It is a journey of mind and actions

Muddied and marred by lovely life soot

As a man thinks so is he

And you are what you habitually do

So if freedom is my concern

Then the lesson to learn 

Is think well and do good

Then freedom won't be about me

It will be about brotherhood

He Will Be Back Soon

Communism blooms
Fascism looms
Just funded Iranian technology
To make the world go boom

Fighting for a republic
In a democratic land
In partnership with the uninformed
Drinking margaritas on the sand

Man makes systems
They work for a while
Until lies take over
Then we become
The devil's child

We need a Monarchy
From Heaven above
Lead by the Son
With the Father
And the Holy Dove

Corruption, pollution
The human race in de-evolution
If we don't acknowledge Jesus
Then we got no solutions

I know it ain't easy
To walk the narrow road
But His grace is abundant
He will carry the load

Some of you worry about
The citizens of Non-Gospel lands
Don't you know
He holds the whole world
In his hands

He is always Good
Always Just
In My Lord Jesus
You can place your trust

So if Communism blooms
And Facism looms
Remember His promise
Jesus will be back soon!

Godmother's Poem

Childhood heroes come
In all shapes in sizes
But long before I was an
Adult what I came to
Realize is

The greatest of heroes
Are consistent in true
They pray for and care
For all you do.

They remember your
Birthday and address
Cards with
Master

It is a subtle thing that
Helps you to remember
Adult responsibility is in
Your future a little bit
Faster

I was never a boy who
Lacked for love
But one of the greatest
Gifts I received from
Our Lord above

Was the Love from what I
Now see was from a very
Young girl
Who continues to bear the
Sacred Name of
Godmother

It is your birthday and
That boy is now more
Than a middle aged man

Accept this poem as my
Kiss on your cheek and
My squeeze of your hand

Love is eternal
And it shall never
Diminish

So our Love will continue
After both our times on earth are
Finished.

Have a Wonderful and Happy Birthday,

Your Godson,

Donald

Managers Circle

Managers Circle

Managers circle and
The sound of country crickets
Looking for a direction to lead
When sitting still and
Listening is what we need

Time square stress
In a garden sanctuary
Because we want to do
More than we want to be

Production is about fruit bearing
Activity without life is
Is a decaying red herring

Organized into paralysis
Venting to an analyst
Solving problems is not allowed
We all joined the compliance crowd

The devil loves rules
Especially those that follow
Bow and worship me
Fools will do anything
Once they agree

We were created for dominion
Therefore you must form an opinion
Through thought and study
Reason and prayer
That kind of being and doing
Will make you a leader
Not a manager
If you are courageous
And dare!

Hippie Way

Hippie Way

Soldiering on

In the hippie way

Even after peace love and understanding

Is disabled by sex drugs and rock n rolls

Ability to stay

Bill W and Enimen have it right

Trust is hard to come by

So keep your circle tight

The corporate squeeze 

Will bring you to your knees

So show me the money

Might buy you more freedom 

Than 32 degrees

John the Baptist 

Lived righteous and small

Morality can't be purchsed

At Barnes and Noble 

Or the Mall

Fighting to keep the best truths 

From the vinyl on the shelf

But The Book of James

Is a better mirror to myself

Follow your skills

Or follow your passion

The hippie in you 

Ain't about words

It is seen in your

Actions

Heard a sound bite on WMVY about soldiering on to one of the artist they highlighted.  The rest flowed from there.
