Equality In America

 

Equality In America

This Election Year, there are people who seem so rude

It's a battle among ourselves, a downright dirty feud

The Reds are totally against the Blue

And the Purple, don't know what to do

People are changing sides, in this political dance

The truth is out there, but people won't give it a chance

Can you not hear, all that is said

We call those people, an Airhead

Most of the other countries know

Where all our votes should go

We want someone who has respect

Not someone who will always neglect

We're moving ahead, not moving back

We need someone, who will keep us on track

Women should always have their rights

Blacks should always be, as equal as the whites

In America, we should all be equal and stand together

Not be disciplined and punished, and on a tether

Nobody should be threatened because of their vote

In America, we're all sitting in the very same boat

I'm not for the rich, I'm for helping others get by

Assisting those who need it, to succeed if we try

Meals on Wheels and the Senior Companion Program should never disappear

We'll all be elderly some day, and we'll depend on these programs here

Someone who wants to eliminate Meals on Wheels,

The Senior Companion Program, other

Volunteer programs, and Social Security.

Someone who wants to control women, and degrade Blacks.

Someone you can't trust. Someone who is rich and has too much power,

shouldn't be running this great country of ours.

The Light Beyond Book Shop

 

The Light Beyond Book Shop

We sell Heavenly books and so much more

You'll feel enlightened, when you walk in the door

Just as you walk in, there's a big sign on the wall

Saying “Welcome to Beyond, We Send Love And Light To All”

The books all placed neatly, seemed to be aglow

The shop seemed alive with lights, getting brighter as you go

Not too bright to see, but it touched your very soul

What they didn't realize was, that feeling inside, was their goal

The old shopkeeper, gray hair and balding head

Sat at a desk writing, that's where they were lead

He looked up and smiled, his smile was so kind

He asked them if there was anything, he could help them find

They weren't even sure, what they were looking for

In fact they felt it was a dream, that lead them to this door

It was a feeling, a knowing, something that felt so right

That lead them to this book shop, that was shining so bright

They found a book that seemed to shine, it was the right kind

All about “The Afterlife,” which resonated completely to their mind

They knew life went on after we die, because they talked to those Passed

They live on in what you call Heaven, even when their Earth bodies don't last

For the believers, we already know that those who are gone from this world

live on in the Spirit World, and we shall join them one day when our time comes.

For those who are unsure, believe me, they come around to check on you, because

their love for you is so strong, nothing can keep them apart.

Those who don't believe, you'll find out when you pass. I won't even try to

convince you, when the time is right, you will know, and be very surprised.

Love & Light To All
