Where Is The Soul Of America

 

Where is The Soul Of America

Where is the soul of America, can someone please tell me

It seems to have disappeared, and it's somewhere it shouldn't be

I know it's out there, among the people that I know

We need it back, so we can continue to shine and grow

The other countries gasp and think “What happened to our friend?”

They wonder how far, this great nation will have to bend

“Do something, do something” a weak voice cried out

“It was rigged by the rich, I can say that without a doubt”

The world trembled, as it shifted in its place

While the America we once knew, wears an ugly face

“Cut this out, and cut that out too” said the mad man in DC

“We'll make America great again, according to me”

He handcuffed Lady Liberty, threw away her pride

And something in America, suddenly just died

People in this once great nation, worried for what was to come

“Why is he doing this, and why is he so stupid and so dumb?”

All he wanted, was to have complete and total control

He didn't realize, his way would just make a big hole

America needs to fight, like it never had before

Against itself, so it can be a proud nation once more

Where is the soul of America, it's out there somewhere I know

We need to bring it back, so it can heal and so it can grow

Let's stop this disease, that is centered in DC

America is hostage, and we need to set it free

I know the soul is out there among the people, who know

what is happening in this country isn't right. We think of

America as someone we want our sons and daughters to

grow up to be. But not this time, nobody should ever be

like him. When he makes other countries upset at us, he's

looking for trouble, and it makes other countries stronger

and he is in for war, and this time,he will be the loser.

I love America! But the nasty leaders have to Go.

That Darn Keyboard!

 

That Darn Keyboard!

The T isn't moving, it's being such a jerk

And I can't even, get the F to work

I tried the N, but now the A is stuck

With this keyboard, I'm not having any luck

Now the O, has flipped its lid

I'm not exactly sure, what I just did

I press the F1, F2, and F3

I know, I should just let it be

The RETURN key, just flipped off

I'm so frustrated, I start to scoff

It's not easy, to type anything on here

My keyboard is falling apart, I fear

Now the SPACE bar, just spaced out

I just want to scream, okay, I will shout

Now, that made me feel a little better

Now let me try again, checking every letter

Now, I'm having problems with the L

I'm also having issues, with the H as well

Let me check out a few more keys, I'll press the U

Nope! That darn keyboard, I just don't know what to do

Sometimes you feel this way when the keys on your

keyboard start to fall apart. It's frustrating when

you want to type something and you can't get the

right keys to type the letter you want.

Rectify Any Wrong Doings

 

Rectify Any Wrong Doings

In your life, have you hurt someone?

Said something nasty, or something else was done

When it happened, how did it make you feel?

I bet it wasn't good, it probably felt unreal

There's consequences, to everything you do and say

On the journey of your soul, you find out along the way

You've heard of a ripple in time, well it's true

You need to think before you act, in everything you do

We've all done it, sometimes not realizing the full impact

Sometimes it was us who was hurt, as a matter of fact

Whatever the case, the damage was done

It can't be taken back, and it wasn't any fun

In your life, you're often taken back to that time and place

It hurts inside, whenever you think of their face

It hurts all the way down to your soul

It's like that incident, left a burning hole

It's because, the soul is always affected by what we say and do

If it's not rectified in this lifetime, it crosses over with you

Believe me, it's a lot harder to rectify when you're over there

When a spirit comes around you, and you are not aware

Clear it up here on earth, while you still can, mend the fence

Take responsibility for your actions, use common sense

Take the blame for being wrong, and apologize

Heal the pain, is what the spirits advise

Life is too short to be going through so much

pain over some misunderstanding and words

that were said out of anger or emotional

haywire. Apologize and free your soul

from that burning, and it will set you free.

Time Doesn't Stand Still

 

Time Doesn't Stand Still

Time doesn't stand still, because we age

As it moves ahead, each life's chapter we engage

Sometimes I'm taken back, into a memory in a song

Thinking I'm back there, yet I knew I wasn't all along

I see a singer back then, that I use to listen to

Today he's old and gray, and I think “what happened to you?”

I look in the mirror, and think “who is that old man?”

Reality bites, but it's the way of each life span

Sometimes I think, I've lived a lifetime of many years

Each chapter that I lived, brought happiness and tears

From it all, I'm happy for who I became

I'm still me, and yet I'm not the same

Others do it too, they think I'm the boy I use to be

Never realizing, they're thinking of the younger me

I'm not the only one, who gets lost in a memory

Sometimes we stay there, and it's hard to break free

Even though time doesn't stand still, this I do know

Through the journey from the past to the future, I grow

You age and change, as time moves ahead

Doing your best to go, wherever you are lead

As humans, the years and time makes us older.

Through these changes, we learn and grow

and changes happen within ourselves.

Nothing ever stays the same.
