Posted: 10/29/2008 5:46:15 AM | ala birdstyle...
(and birdman, the answer is still no, No, NO!)
the time is getting near
i don't know what to say
our president will be elected
on election day
i know he is mere mortal
but his job requires more
let's hope those ol' republicans
get kicked out of the door
when w came into office
we had a surplus and much pride
after eight years of his leadership
i want to runaway and hide
my retirement took a spill
looks like i'll work to 83
what happened to all my money
that was just waiting for me
not that i don't love my job
oh..i promise you i do
but i was going to retire
when i'm 62
but no, no, no...
not anymore
not since bush fvcked it all up
now i'm once again...poor
not that bush did it alone
but his ignorance it did show
hanging with the wrong folks
having no place to go
oh, he'll be just fine
when all said and done
but it's me who now has to work
until i'm 91~ | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 6:11:35 AM | Across our land men and women's courage
To work and sacrifice, sharply they hope
That their children will be able to dream
Live a life of compassionate promise
Knowing, only by standing together
Will our policies and politics change
I believe we must own the coming change
Strength will be hard pressed, testing our courage
Uphill the mountain we climb together
So all generation's also have hope
A country based on liberties promise
Our nation dreaming America's dream
There cannot be change if there is no hope
Raise up the courage transform the promise
We'll share together equalities dream
Rose my friend I'll knock 'em down, you stomp on 'em
Never the birdman, I wouldn't hurt his wings for anything. We could use a squirt bottle on him though. | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 6:21:40 AM | oh...
it breaks my heart
the future we are leaving
to our daughters and sons
i too believe
it will take sacrifice and work
to fix all the ills
but give me
a righteous cause
and i'm there
in a heartbeat
thanks p'me...'we shall overcome'
"Rose my friend I'll knock 'em down, you stomp on 'em"
...hey, you're talking about the republicans up there, yeah?...not birdman, i hope!! | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 12:30:17 PM | Rise in the morning like a phoneix dove
yesterdays ashes are reminders of love
love we had but now is lost
at what price we pay
what trade
what cost
No longer do we feel the same as before
dig deep but still find that we cant ignore
if love is the grand lesson to learn
then why does it thrill
then steal
then burn
I supose when we fall it usually hurts
but when we heal we will increase our worth
so let your love light ignite to shine
let it glow
let it show
your love devine. | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 3:04:38 PM | please let me share your burden
don't carry it in your sinews all alone
I'm here and I'm more than an ornament
adorning your beautiful home
use me, even abuse me,
share with me your strain
don't bottle up something bubbly
pop the cork and let go the pain
two fishermen struggling to push
their boats towards the retreating sea
one says let me share your burden
and you do the same for me
a smile comes back the reward
plenty of fish in the bountiful seas
basted in butter and comradeship
if you let me share your burden, please | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 7:16:05 PM | I can't take it I hate it
want to break it
it's all my fault I'm the one who made it
or mabey it made me
some conspiracy
a trickle down effect of soul robbery
take all you can get
make money and split
if it all goes down you wont give a shit
now is the time
change in the rhyme
the vote for hope is on a thin line
gather the mass
no matter the class
let our voices be heard leave the past in the past
those hesitent
don't fret be content
change will come when Obama is president. | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 10:10:21 PM | autumn walk
morning chill
nipping my nose
autumn leaves
gently falling
smoke billowing
from chimneys
jack-o-lanterns
smiling from the stoop
sound of silence
except
for
gun shots | |

Posted: 10/29/2008 11:52:02 PM | I want to thank you rose for you admiration and support. I pleases me to here your words of praise. Like a gental scratch behind a dogs ears I feel a sence of acomplishment and cheer.
I also liked your "autumn walk"
A very descriptive picture of a fall day
and then the "gun shots"
is this literaly what happend on your walk or just a metaphore that in all beauty there remains a flaw.
I guess either way it's poetic
art imitating life or life imitating art.
It is great to have a place to share and express our thoughts and ideas
Thank you | |

it pleases me you found this place...
you have a lot to say
and i like how you say it!!
as far as autumn walk
i walk my dog before work every day
as i'm walking, i get lost in thought
am enjoying autumn sooo much
sooo peaceful
but i also work with inner city youth
you know, the kids who are not successful
in traditional schools...
we have had 3 shootings this year
(virtually unheard of, up until now)
so i just combined my morning walk
with what happened at work
it's been a tough start of school
this year... | |

am saddened
disconneted youth
shooting
each other
again
who are calling the shots?
the cops
say the guys locked up
the parents
lost control
years ago
screaming in my ear
'it's your fault'
how do we connect
them back again?
my friend
they are....

Change is Gonna Come
by Sam Cooke
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will | |

when i am at a loss for words
words of others
fill me
(from daily quotes...)
if you want to build a ship...don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work...but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea...
~antoine de saint-exupery
not only is another world possible, she is on her way...on a quiet day, i can hear her breathing...
~arundhati roy
sanity may be madness but the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be...
~don quixote
we've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope...but in the unlikely story that is america, there has never been anything false about hope....

Posted: 10/30/2008 8:38:59 PM | i felt a little more like nothing
a little more than something
but a part of me was just being
the free fall into nothingness
required little more than a guess
as to which direction to take
and to think someone shunned William Blake
a slippery slope of hope
called for boots with roots
and the flowers, with shoots
were a distraction from the ache in my calves
here's to the other halves
of our souls
the ones that make us feel more like wholes
although pieces, yes, we are
the connection is clear by far
(random inspiration......*hugs* to you, my friend) | |

| A poem simple and sweet
Posted: 10/30/2008 9:01:29 PM | Love Amongst The Clouds
It is the time
when all in my eyes sees you
The very light thru my window bearing your face,
The air your scent
I cry now, happy
Does love embrace us in the night?
Like a warm bath,
Steaming with passion ,desire,grace?
Then morning with all its glories,like you,
Awakening the day
All in a moment it becomes
Like a breathless gasp
The deafening silence screaming
In my ear, telling me she is with you always
Even when without view she is there
Love amongst the clouds
Walter Herbert Howard | |

| "the peaceful warrior"
Posted: 10/31/2008 12:04:03 AM | The tired warrior travles on through the night
under the cover of the shining moonlight
the fight gose on but he does not know why
just keep on struggling till the day he will die
his purpose the doing of his masters voice
when becoming a warrior he gave up this chioce
I say to you master when well I be free
but all he heard were leaves under bare feet
just then a stumble a rumble in the brush
caught by surprise from the side a blizkreg rush
adrenaline pumping heart thumping and crack
the spliting of skull from a thud club smack
lying in the moonlight soaked in warm blood
the warrior looked up and remembered what he loved
thank you master for setting me free
it is now and forever that I shall truly see
that the one who is my master is none other than me
and when the morning comes so will destiny
where ever I chose is where I will be
and who I become I chose personaly
no longer well war be my suffering grief
I will fufill my life with love and peace. | |

Posted: 10/31/2008 4:50:16 AM | wow....this page
has brought tears to my eyes
what a surprise, rosie,
especially the sad news of division and blues
and the writing above
with such strong images and views
the last nine lines you wrote, musiart
especially connected in my heart
they are worth remembering
as a life long goal
for they burn with so
much truth in my soul.....
thank you and hugs to all
we will find a way to live in harmony
one day, I pray....may it start this day | |
