Money . . .

. . . guns, the planet . . .

Golden were we
All that we touched
Turned in a favorable tide
Life, but we know,
Brings what it may
Think of yourself
But don’t do it too much
Pressing your luck
Go too far

Prosperity
Honestly won
No one can say they begrudge
What is the cost
Turns out to be too much for us
More than we want to spare
All that we care about will fade

Money, guns, the planet we should think about

Money is just
Root of all bad
That hasn’t changed over time
Guns that we need
Certainly has
Now we must act
To preserve our own lives
Which sacrifice will you make

What kind of tradeoff
Would make deem this alright

Would you concede
Or compromise
Will you assess other views
Consider this moving apart
Only reduces the power we could have
Not merely grab life away

Caring, peace, survival should be common ground



Money, Guns, the Planet

Moment . . .

Hey you down there on the ground
Don’t you think that it’s time
You should fly
And do you consider the cost
Of the pride that you wear
Like a smile

Take this moment
You’ve got here
You may not
Get another try
Sometimes only
One chance comes around
At a time

It’s two that’s the number required
For the dance that we do
To get by
A few drag you into the mire
But they’re strong
Many wiles they devise

Doomed if you don’t learn
Farce is what you earn from the tragedy
What have we to gain
By being stubborn?

Guilt . . .

If there's guilt in your conscience
Perhaps you should think
Did you really do all
That you could?

Did you cover all ground
From the middle to brink
Did you serve the right purpose
That you should?

Or maybe the good
Was just too good to miss
You may well have been selfish
Fearing losing your bliss

And indignant you blustered
Full defending your place
At the height of your privilege

We all surveyed your face
With its alternate smirks,
Grimaces and tears
Leaving us to wonder
What precisely were your fears?

But now its quite clear
That you joined the right club
Those many long years ago
Your position's protected
You have gained your desire
Now your whim and your membership
Join the list of MY fears

Church . . .

The church of music
Holds no ham and oyster suppers
We're all
Just deacons
With our boots upon the ground

Marching into mystery
In command but still
Can't quite see

The church of music
Won't require your weekly presence
You'll find
It stays with you
No matter where you are

No dogmatic postulates
No demands on
Your fidelity

Save you form the darkest night
Carry you through the hours


Church
