I See


I love my field of grass and dandelion
And sit in the middle, looking up at the sky
A tear appears and I find myself cry'in
It seemed silly, so I asked myself why

A man came along and wanted to plow
To grow crops, for there are people to feed
He wants my field and wants it now
How selfish of me not to fill the need

Another man came and wanted to build
For everybody needs a place to live
And didn't I know what God has willed
How selfish of me, not to want to give

So, I sit in my field and start crying
And see my answer about selfishness
The love of my field will soon be dying
And lost with it, our moments of bliss

    Quoting  :

I would if I could,

Roxy said she prefers my poetry to my bashing.
I wonder if she would feel the same way, if I was bashing you instead of Don.

All my metaphors are in my private park. but your ticket to get in has been voided

    Quoting  :

Spock said "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few"

But needs of many are too many, to really be needs
And the needs of the few, are too few, to be taken away.

The needs of many, need to be lessened, And a lesson can be learned from the needs of the few.
You obviously have learned the lesson the hard way. If only the many could learn that your needs are really their needs.

But they are too blind to see through your eyes
They are too loud, to hear the small voice
They are too absorbed, to feel a tear
They are too egotistical , to just be
They are too expectatious, to be thankful
and too needy to know what they really need.

Jimmy, that's great, the other one below too. You got talent. Wish you could put them to music, would be a hit.

Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.
