nothing is what it seems
isms and schisms and schemes
disclaimers, small print, misrepresentations
a shiny bag, full of dreams
Nature and me
food from the earth
water from the sea
strength from the sun
nature and me
walk in the jungle
barefoot and free
the iguanas, the toucan
the snake in the tree
the orchids, the ferns
the coconut tree
the mango, the sugar cane
the jungle and me
the river, the creek
the stream and the sea
the pelican, the fish
the hummingbird and the bee
Oh Master
i got a guillotine in my tired hand
my eyes are filled with sand
my mind is a nauseating disaster
and you askin me, if i can go a bit faster
oh, master
Sunshine
sunshine please stay with me
the night can be so COLD
White Light Theory
i think that when people see the
white light, that they are actually
recalling the moment when they
are born and are blinded
by the light at the end of the birth
canal. it is a blinding
experience, the first image,
visible are sillouhettes of
beings, who are there to
“welcome you to the other side”

The Kiss
i kiss her
she kisses me
in the kiss
we find our bliss
our souls hold hands
our hearts expand
her ying and my yang
create a big bang
My memories
my memories, they come
they don’t ask for permission
anytime & anywhere
under any condition
i pause for my memories
i always give them attention
without them, i am no one
some, i’d rather not mention
my memories they come
they come from every direction
they hit me in my chest
they bring me much reflection
Time to take a break
the sky was clear, my mind was grey
rubbed my eyes and got out of bed
took a deep breath as i raised my head
gave thanks for the water and the bread
for my mother, my father, and the warm bed
my mind, my health, and my sense of things
all the circumstances that my life brings
took a pensive slow walk by the Carib sea
pulled a green coconut from a short tree
lay on the soft grass in the cool shade
for a confused kid, i had it made
cool breeze caressed my timid face
i was in awe of the wonderful place
the sights, the sounds, they calmed my soul
i wouldn’t trade it for silver or gold
before i knew it, i was living in L.A.
my mind was clear , but here, the sky was grey
i traded nature for opportunity
a choice no one should ever have to make
it must be time to take a break
Things not visible
there are many things not visible
that we simply cannot see
like things hidden underground
like the long, long roots of a tree
there are many things not visible
things hidden in the air
just because you cannot see them
it doesn’t mean they are not there
there are many things not visible
like things that are deep under the sea
creatures living in boiling water
things you would not believe could be
there are many things not visible
like the things inside my head
images that wont leave me
a child, innocent and dead
Life
life does not have a meaning
only a beginning and an end
venture to find the meaning and there goes your life my friend
life is Time, an hourglass flipped at birth
what are your gonna do with you time on this earth
life is like electricity
it could be good or bad
we can strap a man on a chair and give him death
or we can zap a man’s chest and give him back his breath
life is not a question that can be answered by man
life is a statement that screams and roars,
i am
Science and Religion will never make us comprehend
love your friends and family respect life to the end
what is important is how we treat each other
and whether we keep the environment clean
the rest is just a waste of time
if you know, what i mean
