A Man 05/30/05 A man walked out of the abyss Supreme over the other beings The animals in the field Were no match for his feel He conquered them all The plants and trees fell under his spell All was his to do as he will Oceans could not hold him back Nor the skies could keep him in check For over it all he had control Control out of control Leaving his mark Where ever he'd go Leaving the earth ravaged Where trees once grew Yet he questioned all he knew Where was he from if not of this earth Was he created or evolved of matter and stuff Tiny organisms from watery scum Becoming a matter that grew and grew Into a being that would rule Evolving a mind capable of Questioning itself and all this stuff Or was a supreme hand Involved in evolving man A God reaching to earth And in his image creating birth Giving life into a man

Mid Life Crazy 06/10/05 To young to feel this way Forty years old and going on twenty Where's yesterday Memories there are many But to focus on the reality of time To much for the mind To comprehend at this early age Must wait until tomorrow To fill this page Longing for those teenage years With maturity coming clear Right and wrong meaning more Than they ever did Trying to remember being a kid No second thoughts Just go for it Without remorse or consequence No more of this To fill the days of this life Each thought must now except The consequence of each step Must way the bad with the good Look before I leap I never would In those days of summer lazy Traded now For mid life crazy

I Realize 06/24/05 Life's life that's a fact There's no answer Or question that Can totally fulfill The doubt the despair The running out of hope to give I realize philosophies Are nothing new Just hard to live By one's own rules No easy struggle Trying to be right Without being cruel Where does it end and why even try When even a wrong can be right Even in defeat some victories are won Each and every loss benefits some I realize you may never know Who you really are Some call this insane To define it much more Would only attempt to confuse Me or maybe you Or maybe not whose to say Do we ever really know Whose predator or prey Who do we trust and how much With only a thin line Between hate and love Better to give than to receive One philosophy Without ego trips or greed Born of necessity

I Love You Two 07/08/05 A lifetime ahead one day at a time May they be filled with laughter Rainbows and sunshine Gifts from mother earth To whom you belong The sign of Taurus Will make you strong Stars in the heaven Make up your design Giving you a heart full of warmth And a thoughtful mind I know that you have just begun to live And don't understand this amazing gift That is yours for years to come The moon the stars and the sun Mother earth your apart of her now Give her your heart and help her out It's all in your future so much to do Remember I love mother earth And I love you two Happy birthday precious son You're now two but still the one A part of my soul heart and mind Now belong to you Love always and forever Papa Brian

A Taught Disease 07/22/05 Of all the diseases in the world today Indifference and racism are taught I say Your not born with this disease It's a product of hatred and of greed Through the generations it's been taught From all the wars that are fought It's not going away anytime soon This killer of hope and breeder of doom Open minds are closed shut By bigotry hate and from lust Being taught in our society this way Gives predators prey They prey upon our desires and thoughts By breeding mistrust compassion is lost hatred boils over as bigotry overwhelms Before you know it the war ships sail Man in all his wisdom knocked to his knees Simply by a taught disease

The Following Hour 08/11/05 If tomorrow's sun should find me searching around for you Wondering where you've gone and if we were through I know I'd cry forever but I'd have to say You brought love and mercy and helped me on my way You've given me much more than you could ever know For this I would thank you before I'd let you go If tomorrow's sun should find me a grieving soul for you If God had come and taken I'd pray he'd take me too I know I'd cry forever and I'd have to pray God show me mercy and take me today No longer any purpose I wouldn't want to live In me no more mercy I wouldn't have the will I've asked God to grant me at least one answered prayer If you decide to take her Take me the following hour If tomorrow's sun should find you wondering where I am There should be no question I'm up in heaven now This the only reason I wouldn't be right here Death do us part I promised you my dear I've ask God to grant me at least one more prayer Take me before her Or the following hour

Man And Space 08/29/05 Into the universe we want to fly To see what's beyond Our big blue sky The stars above we see from here The galaxies beyond Are not so clear A big black hole may be all Space is unending we are told Must be an eternity out there then Where there will be no ills Or folks living in sin A place of peace Not of this earth Must be like heaven This universe We seek to find Mere mortals in awe of life Why it is how it begun We think the answer Is beyond the sun Out there in space Particles of dust Cosmos of galaxies All apart of us Alien life forms Who's to say We've got our imagination Our fascination Our determination To fly away To another world Of endless space

Mirrors In Time 09/30/05 Pictures from the past Hauntingly real Allot of time is spent Looking back Old photographs Of lost loves Pictures that move Emotions in us Old picture albums Filled with this Memories that were lost Come flooding back Hauntingly so Like ghosts Of long ago Things that were forgotten Now so real Life's a mystery But yet so dear Precious memories Caught on paper Bring back to mind Memories that are now Mirrors in time

In Women And Men 10/15/05 The true character of a man Or a woman as far as that goes Is shown in the way they treat others They don't know The ones who can do absolutely nothing Where there's nothing to gain But maybe the alleviation Of another's pain a helping hand Without remorse or recourse No seeking of glamour or fame Just the sense of being kind Doing unto others The things he or she would like to find In others they encounter throughout life Just a smile a nod of the head The sense of character With nothing being said A trusting look a jester of peace A simple excuse me please Yes sir and yes ma'am Simple courtesy Without feeling of shame No sense of pride in the way Nothing ventured nothing gained Character's that way It must be built out of will And nurtured day by day To obtain this great wealth Excepting greater things Than our self Becoming a part of them That's character In women and men

Reflecting Back 10/30/05 To ignore the distant Or most recent past Is to breed repetition Hindsight's twenty-twenty History teaches Learn from your mistakes Do not repeat Keep looking back For as long as it takes Do not forget For if we do The same mistakes For me and you Again and again we'll fall short Our future no better Than it was before History The best teacher And all we have Reflecting back
