OUR HUMANITY
Man
feels such zest of emotion
till it sets his whole mind afire
Calling
forth his inner demons
fueling
him run instead of tire
No
problem then seems too immense
to not
warrant a good man’s deeds
The
boy hurt on the inside finds
he is
the man this child now needs
Life's
truths keep turning round and round
generations
each wax and wane
Loving ones pick up the pieces
of the
small child that still remain
Who
among us can rightly say
he has
himself just walked on by
To
leave the injured child alone
within
hearts lonesome soul to cry
It
seems we need no help learning
epitaphs
of profanity
But
when our eyes see love defined
that's
where we find humanity
NONE EVER COME
TO STAY
The
time trickles by unnoticed
our
moments fade away
While
their coming and their going
pass
us by day to day
Each
new morn comes by to meet me
as
nothing seems to last
The
thoughts of youth just melt away
as all
become the past
With
them go my joys and sorrows
this
life spent chasing dreams
The
grandiose philosophy
of
lofty hopes and schemes
Younger
days when I once believed
I'll
sleep when I am dead
Now I
feed the mind on learning
I
still keep those fires fed
Why
can't we inherit wisdom
pass
along what we know
Given
benefit of insight
might
help our species grow
The
generations march to war
pounding
drums of glory
Saying
it will happen no more
it's
the same sad story
Gales
form around each new child's life
what
they don't know be true
The
winds foretell what future holds
oh if
they only knew
The
sands of time keep flowing on
our
lives to pass away
Some
are coming, some are going
none
ever come to stay
