I thought people only lied

Because they made a mistake
Because they were trapped
I didn't know people actually
Enjoyed making up crap

I thought people only lied

To keep out of trouble
To get away from something bad
I didn't know people actually
Enjoyed being a callous cad

I thought people only lied

Till they found out how the truth
Is better for everybody along the way
I didn't know people actually
Abused and used it to get their way

I thought people only lied

Because they were trapped and hurt
And had lost their way
I didn't know people actually
Enjoyed being sadistic every day

I thought people only lied
To get away from the bad guys gig
I didn't know they actually
Got off on being cruel malicious pigs

We're all on a double track

America is becoming

Small bands of enclaves

With enough common sense
To gather up food medicine and guns
Serious people who can think
And even want it not to have to be done

But they know all they can do
Is all they can do
And it's best to be prepared
When considering what can happen to you

We're all on a double track
We're workin hard to make it right
But it's not always up to one side
As to whether one has to fight

Bullies are bullies
And the insane are the insane
Illegals gangs Jihadist Democrats
Just keep pushin their game

Maybe it will turn
And then again maybe not
But wide out and naively in the open
Is not a good place to get caught

We're all on a double track
We're workin hard to make it right
But it's not always up to one side
As to whether one has to fight

I want to live in peace
I don't want a war
But then again

I'm not going to be your cute little slave boy
And my woman is not going to be your whore

Any one answer used all the time.........is a lie

Obviously

The ultimate in self protection
Is to simply not care
That way the pain in this world
Is something you don't have to share

If you never play to win
You won't have to experience defeat
But unfortunately for the too cool fool
It is also the ultimate in self deceit

Oh well

So much for the innocence
Of the child covering their own face
You can't hide that you're hiding
But you can embrace disgrace

And try to pass it off
As really no big deal
But how rich do you get
When you take all that you can steal

As long as they like us

We don't have to be strong
The world's natural condition is peace
At the bottom of the wishing well
Are all those who thought hostilities would cease

If we simply gave in
Or went along with
If we just believed hard enough
We could make come true the myth

That one of the pillars
Is sufficient for balance to reign
But to leave out Body Mind or Spirit
Is to most certainly invite in

A rain of pain

Before it's time to die

How does one quit living
Before it is time to die
What words does one say to pray
When they have no soul to cry

What vast barren wasteland
Convinced you it's where you belong
How did you ever lose your place
Next to sacred grace and your favorite song

How many tears was it that fell
From your eyes and streaked down your cheeks
Before your dreams were lost to the silent scream
That comes from having no mouth to speak

Where does the Sunset go
When there no longer is a tommorrow
What great sadness is inside beauty
What great beauty is inside sorrow

Have you forgotten the promise that you made
How was it you lost track of what it takes to believe
Don't you recall the words that you said
Yes I know I know

If I am ever allowed to come back
I will always remember I must leave

Riding The Edge

I like riding the edge
Because that's where life and passion are
I like to look up into the night sky
Because that's where they keep the stars

The world is always playing music
But sometimes we can't hear it if we don't dance
How can we ever get to know each other
Unless we give each other a chance

I like making my move
But I never try to make it too soon
Sometimes I like to sit quietly
But I'm not above doing

Some howling at the moon

I like riding the edge
Even when I'm talking to you
I like looking up at the night sky
You never know when you'll see

A rogue comet streaking through

#369 in the brand new old saying series

You Know:

If you're talking about me
More behind my back
Than you are to my face

Maybe you should shut the fuck up
