Twelve . . .


So many things I'd like to do;
So many places to see.
And I feel like
There's never enough
Time for anything else
That I might desire to undertake.
Something I'd like to pursue;
But the world's just spinning around;
Keeps me head and foot-bound
Don't know what to do.

Give me just twelve hours
To add to my day.
Keep all your wealth and your money.
Take your fame and power for time.
Just give me twelve hours.

Time isn't cheap.
You pay so dearly.
I'm trying to make every minute count;
Penny count.

Spending my time seems like all I do.
Can't save up for rainy days.
Can't invest in an instrument to
Earn satisfaction to draw from.
When far-in-the future, I need to feel
Just what my value has been.
There's no interest that's coming or due.
Dividends are so precious and few.
Don't know what to do.

Take . . .


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?

For You . . .



. . . who choose to NOT read. I am reading this and weeping . . .



(from https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/13/trump-coronavirus-meltdown-media-authority?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other&fbclid=IwAR22Up73z_i4oCN8d6SEUFLVYbOsMNXij4Bg8XWaudSZRAqnbo9FF-QtBrE)
". . . “The CBS News correspondent Paula Reid was having none of it and cut to the chase. . . . “The argument is that you bought yourself some time,” she said “You didn’t use it to prepare hospitals. You didn’t use it to ramp up testing. Right now, nearly 20m people are unemployed. Tens of thousands of Americans are dead.”. . . "

Constructive . . .


. . . use of time . . .


. . . Damn the coffee.
Damn the sugar.
Damn the colonies.
Where's my future?
What awaits me?
I don't want to be
Napoleon of broken dreams . . .

Highs & Lows . . .



Just look at the morning paper
And tell me what you see.
Is something very wrong
Or maybe my eyes deceive me?
Somewhere in the local section,
A buried paragraph;
Someone who had the time to care
And the character to act.

The higher the highs,
The lower the lows.
The older I get
That's the way that it goes.
The more that I think that I want
The less that I need,
Because I realize how precious
And how short
This time with you may be.

When you're young and your biggest worry's
What game you want to play,
Such innocence is just surpassed
By the naivete.
Take good with the worst
And better.
You know they're not the same.
Youth somehow brings them all together.
Different they are,
But subtle the shades.

Youth really
Is only wasted,
If never
You've tasted
All the bitter
As well as sweet.

I hope you don't misunderstand me
Or what I want to say.
It's nothing revolutionary.
Ignorance won't make this go away.
Nobody likes a busybody.
Nobody knows it all.
There's one thing I can tell you certain,
Take none for granted;
Short or the tall.

Building . . .




Here, nothing but time
On my dirty hands to no
No avail
Try as hard I might
Pour-ing every ounce of
My energy
Into a song
The only thing I can do for you
Something is wrong
Barely a note breaking through
Hardly a clue
Dry as a well
A-rid as the des-ert I
Seem to be
When will it end?
We will see

What, you’re asking, Is
There to be concerned a-
bout in this anomaly?
Sure this kind of thing
Happens all the time to
All practitioners of
Rhythmic expression
Propelling souls into space; flying
Evoking so
Many emotions within
Out of the din
But in spite of this
I will persevere in
My endless quest for
Voice to express
What I feel

No . . .


. . . kidding, Time . . . 


(from https://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2016-donald-trump/)
". . . It’s a country where many who felt powerless have a new champion, where much frustration has given way to excitement and where politics has become the greatest show on earth. Here men in combat helmets and military assault rifles now patrol the streets outside a golden residential tower in midtown Manhattan. And almost every day at about the same time they let pass a street performer who wears no pants, tight white underwear and cowboy boots, so he can sing a song in the lobby for the television cameras with Trump’s name written in red and blue on his butt. It’s an America of renewed hope and paralyzing fear, a country few expected less than a year ago. Because of Donald John Trump, whatever happens next, it will never be like it was before. . . "


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-mocks-greta-thunberg-after-she-wins-time-person-year-n1100531)
". . . President Donald Trump mocked teen climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter Thursday after she was named Time magazine's Person of the Year, calling her win "ridiculous" and suggesting she take anger management classes. . ."So ridiculous," Trump tweeted. "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!". . ."

Time . . .


A much-considered topic
Of both philosophy and rhyme
Affecting all; exceptions none
Is the provocative concept of time

No one escapes its extensive reach
Though some, that they have, make the claim
But that is not of my current concern
At piano,  considering a song once again

Friends . . .


Time takes its toll
Brings some bad with some good
Wear and tear; aging; fading;
Wisdom, knowledge withstood

One single, however,
Most joyful affair
Is when good friends unite
Sparking magical flare

Completed . . .

. . . the composition


How will we be remembered?
Will our names live on?
Will the seeds that we sowed
Reap the glorious fruit we intended?

Adulatory panegyrics
Vituperary insolence
Commendatory highly glowing complements
Enthusiastic lionizing
Discourteous ill-manneredness
Impertinence and disrespect

It’s so funny how interpretations are made
When the color’s transformed by each factor
In every foundation that’s laid

Why would I ask more?
Why even ask at all?
Self-indulgence?
One higher purpose
I had in mind

All the years
All the times
All events that have all transpired now
Seem impotent
At the least, weakened
Things that we fought for so long ago


Insolence

Fine . . .

. . . line

It’s a fine line I walk
Between here and insanity
It’s a fine line
Like a good wine some care
And some love must be taken and given
Like a good wine
I don’t know where it’s gonna come from
I only know that when it gets here
I may care or I may not
It just depends upon which side
Of the line that I’m on

When it’s my time I want
To be free of these cares and these worries
When it’s my time
I don’t when that’s gonna happen
Not really sure I want it happening
Any time real soon
It just depends upon which seat
That I take in the room

Do I really know what I’m asking?
You tell me I’m thinking too much
How can someone question the feelings
You haven’t allowed them to touch?

When will I find the things
That I’ve searched all this valuable time for?
When will I find
Just a thin dime will I take
For a glimpse of the depths of my soul
Just a thin dime
It’s not exorbitant to ask for
It’s one small price to have to pay
To get a piece of someone’s life
A good investment I can say
Because I know that it’s mine
It’s a fine line


Fine Line

Plenty . . .

Plenty is there to go around
We've got what it takes
Know the score
Plenty's the number
And plenty's the time
That we find we're less saint
Than are whore

Now . . .

. . . I have the time for this kind of stuff . . .


The difference . . .

The President is a leader of an organization, company, community, club, trade union, university or other group. The relationship between the president and the Chief Executive Officer varies, depending on the structure of the specific organization.

The chief executive officer (CEO), or just chief executive (CE), is the most senior corporate, executive, or administrative officer in charge of managing an organization – especially an independent legal entity such as a company or nonprofit institution. CEOs lead a range of organizations, including public and private corporations, non-profit organizations and even some government organizations (e.g., Crown corporations). The CEO of a corporation or company typically reports to the board of directors and is charged with maximizing the value of the entity,which may include maximizing the share price, market share, revenues, or another element. In the non-profit and government sector, CEOs typically aim at achieving outcomes related to the organization's mission, such as reducing poverty, increasing literacy, etc.

Don't you think that it's time you should fly?
