Nobody . . .

.
 . . want to abolish the police! . . .

(from https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2020/06/19/what-does-defund-the-police-mean-and-does-it-have-merit/)
". . . “Defund the police” means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality. That’s it. It’s that simple. Defund does not mean abolish policing. And, even some who say abolish, do not necessarily mean to do away with law enforcement altogether. Rather, they want to see the rotten trees of policing chopped down and fresh roots replanted anew. Camden, New Jersey, is a good example. Nearly a decade ago, Camden disbanded (abolished) its police force and dissolved the local police union. . ."

Vocal . . .


. . . mix of 'Thinking' . . .

Sailing on an emerald sea.
Advertisements and color photographs
Don’t mean that much to me.
Poolside cocktails;
Love in the sand.
It’s like a dream that just came true.
I just don’t know how much that I can stand.
Many temptations are swimming round my head.
So many places that you’d think I’d like to be instead but . . .

I’m always thinking of you.
I hope you think of me too.
I only want to be where you are.

Riding to the Wellington Club.
I’d have a driver and he’d take me there.
I’d just sit back and put my two feet up.
Money doesn’t measure the man.
All you can do is spend it; spend again.
It only goes so far. You can’t pretend.
Many times over I’ve seen it slip away.
I’d like to live that life sometime
But baby not today. Cause . . .

I get a feeling when I’m with you
That nothing else captures the same way.
You know it’s true.

If you see the pyramids rise
Above the desert sand into the sky,
A greater sight you just won’t realize.
River fights its way to the sea.
Worthy opponents just can’t hinder it.
It always gets to where it wants to be.
Just like the river, I see my destiny.
It’s right there in your very eyes
Each time you look at me and . . .

Cheer . . .

Where's the cheer
That I should feel
Inside my heart
This time of year,
While all the televisions
Newspapers and billboards count
The shopping days for me?

It appears
To me that I’m
The only one
Who doesn’t see
The fine and natural
Attraction to what seems part race,
Part obstacle course, I believe.

Long ago I
Heard that we
Celebrate this season;
Anniversary of the birth
Of someone named Jesus.

Through the years ,
How my perception
Of it all
Has gone awry,
When so much manufactured
Hype and pressurized requirements
Make it all seem a lie.

How I wish,
Since its the time
Of year that dreams
Can come alive,
That you and I see one November,
When without the retail forecasting,
Some peace on earth,
Goodwill to all arrives.

Mighty . . .

. . . Alrighty 

When doubt overtakes
Both your sleeping and waking,
Cause you're wond'ring more and more
About your giving and taking.

The the giving is coming
Straight from your heart,
And the volumes' increased
Exponentially since the start.

Something's absent though;
It seems more than slightly.
Yet nothing can stop you
When you're Mighty Alrighty.

Second . . .

. . . part of an extended performance of "STAR" . . .


Had I tried;
Had I done all I could
With all my might
Would the ride
Give return on the price
Which was required?
Cast aside
Any thoughts of security.
