THE GOOD LIFE

Well, I've heard about the good life
I've looked for it in cities
Then I looked in towns
Strangely, the nearest I came
Was in the forest by a waterfall
Well, why not
After all, those by the falls
Work in conjunction with the planet
Where we humans simply destroy
Don't we
Well, we'd better take lessons
If we want to be here
In even a hundred years
Don't agree, well
All I can say to anyone
Who thinks differently is
Look around you.

TOMORROW/YESTERDAY

We leave tracks, you and I
But when we look forward
We see only a few steps
We look back and see
Just a few more
But wait
Look back again
See beyond
Where they say we can see
What is that
Perhaps its proof
That more steps await us
For there in the dark
Millions of years before
Before they say we began to see
Others saw as we see
Three million years I'm told
So, look again to the future
Do you see it
Ahh, many footsteps still
Perhaps we will
We will see
The future, beyond
All of the past.

IN THIS MOMENT

In this moment

A new year now

Will it be new

Or just an extension

More of the old

Old lies, old ties

Old beliefs or new

Will truth be born

From the lies

Reflected from the past

Will we be here

To accept that truth

Or will a new terror

Born out of the past

End the need

To ever think again.
