People . . .

I don’t ask much,
Living my life the way that I want.
I stay in touch with what goes on out there.
I’ve seen trouble. I’ve seen heartache.
But my time here
Has been long enough to
Instill certain qualities. 
Seems the more that I witness,
All the more that I wish
I could hear what you’re saying.
We’re all better than this.
Let’s identify exactly what we miss.

Beyond perilous moors
The brave sea glitters.
Better lies ahead.

Whether or not 
We realize the years flow upstream.
Things that we’ve got aren’t always what they seem.
Your and my faiths are so different.
Each is placed in 
Antipodal reference 
So painful to reconcile.
If we stop trying,
What can we do?
What’s in the future
For me and you?
There’s both right and wrong but only reality prevails.

A Musical . . .

. . . interlude 

I've learned that he actions of so many others
Has a definite effect upon one's attitude.
Seeking relief, so I don't end up smothered,
I'm offering this musical interlude.

I Want It . . .


https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-money-and-how-it-works-4160957 

So I said,
I've got a roof o'er my head.
Some people can't even say the same thing.
But it's still not a fact
I can take any comfort in.
I want more to make up my legacy.
I'm not poor but everybody's telling me

Money can't buy everything.
You've heard it time again.
No money can't buy happiness.
When will you learn this fact of life my friend?

So I said,
I've got my very own bed.
I don't give it much thought
When I lay down my head.
But it's cold and it's lonely
In December on the street.
Why do you tell me these kinds of things.
I want more of luxuries that wealth can bring.

I want to be a squire a king a country gentleman
If I can if I can.
I want to get respect for what I have 
And not for what I am, 
Just a man, just a man.

So I said,
It's more than daily bread
That I'm talking about.
Can't you hear what I said?
You see, everything changes 
But we have to admit,
What exists needs to be recognized,
Not merely out of our fear of being duly chastised.

Songs . . .

After several years of 'peddling' pop songs (as a writer) to the music business, my sons told me that I should just play my songs, all alone, on the piano and essentially perform just the way I did in the living room everyday. The idea made sense. After all, music is my passion and not 'work' per se. The pure joy of creating the music is ample reward for the effort invested, or in business school parlance - the ROI is good. 'Pam's Song', which you can access through the YouTube link here opened my first album of recorded music in 2003. Now, almost twenty years on, with development, maturity and lots of technological advances, my musical journey continues.

The Con . . .


 

(from Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy by David From)
". . . because so many of the core Trump supporters were in on the scam from the start, they will not be troubled to exit the scam when it finally deflates. I never thought Trump was a real conservative. I always said his tweeting would get him into trouble. I was not pro-Trump; I was anti-media bias. When support of Trump becomes disadvantageous, his top supporters will erase the memory of their support from their consciousness. Trump keeps faith with nobody, and he has recruited an inner circle as faithless as himself. . .  But out there in America are tens of millions of people who were not invited into the con. They were duped. Trump duped them by acting out their fears, hatred, and prejudices. . . "
