 Friends         | single/div/grandpa  rak03252: and now for something new, with earthquakes and an eclipse in the news, and lying politicians(well that's not new) and we can still keep dancing.. (yes this is very singable and danceable) UNDER THE FULL MOON © by rak might turn out satisfying let the music play soon the band begins soon the people sway everybody gathered can we recognize the tune we watch them dancing naked under the full moon might be an imposition impostors on the loose prepare for inquisition readying the noose the party’s in full swing so swiftly they all swoon we watch them dancing naked under the full moon when truth is for denying and the liar’s words believed when there’s no voice of reason when everyone’s deceived but we can’t hear the music air sucked out of balloons we watch them dancing naked under the full moon might be another earthquake or perhaps a full eclipse the people keep on talking loose lips sinking ships but nothing stops the progress not even some buffoon we watch them dancing naked under the full moon it ends soon as it started over in a flash carrying out orders emptying the trash but no one knows the secret is it midnight, is it noon we watch them dancing naked under the full moon we’re all dancing naked under the full moon rak03252: with the eclipse due, i'm reminded of this one, i wrote so many years ago.... WORLD ECLIPSE © by rak i saw the other side of the universe, what gets better soon gets worse i saw the driver of humanity’s hearse skeleton boned, frothing with thirst Sir Issac's apple floated in air bottled brains labeled handle with care i saw an ancient pharaoh in a pyramid i wore the clothes he wore, and found the jewels he hid i saw two unknown planets collide and explode i felt the death of billions and paid the debts they owed i saw a new born goddess of the galaxy while mermaids frolicked in the sea of tranquility i fed the demon steeds of apocalypse in the total void of a world eclipse. rak03252: ok..this is another one, based on a Korean time travel series... the myth of Sisyphus is: Sisyphus The gods forced him to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity The series itself a bit confusing, he must keep going back in time. but keeps making the same mistakes over and over again... SISYPHUS (WHERE WE GO) © by rak where we go from here is anybody’s guess we’re just passing thru hope we passed the test nothing here is permanent everyone’s a guest we’re just passing thru need to join the rest where we go from here have to wait and see nothing’s pre-determined happens randomly even every stone that’s etched can always be erased time is no brick wall each second can be chased where we go from here we’ll find out in the end no more make believe no more play pretend it’s time to realize we’re blending when with how where we go from here the future becomes now View all 19 posts  Bri_CY: Beautifully written, as always ❤️ I hope you know where I stand, opinion wise, where we end once we're gone. Speaking of... I recently came into contact w such a situation. Which makes me doubt even more. Still... again Beautifully written  rak03252 in reply to Bri_CY: well, was based on the series, and so far, no one seems to have seen it but me LOL rak03252: i thought this might be enjoyable, inspired by a few Time Travel series i have watched recently, including BODIES and THE WAY HOME... seems some people would love to stay in the fast, if given the option… FAR BEHIND © by rak shall I go up ahead or stay far behind if life’s such a mystery what will I find where will it be the future or past is anything real does anything last the blackness of night yields to the day it’s the way of the world always been that way and people get lost in the maze in their mind do they go up ahead or stay far behind the past was a blast I must admit the future uncertain where do I fit whatever happens wherever I go whenever I get there will I know what I know I’m going back to where I’ve never been if anyone knows me I’ll swear, I’m my twin good things, bad things come from within I’ve been so far behind gone into a spin shall I go up ahead or stay far behind always another mystery lodged inside my mind I hear people talking squawking, I’m walking away guess I’ll stay far behind at least for today rak03252: time to stir up a little controversy... i guess everyone knows where they stand.… LAND OF THE FREE © by rak fighting ‘gainst a system that just doesn’t work liars, truth deniers with their self-righteous perks who are they serving it ain’t you or me how soon they forget home of the brave, land of the free the working class people can’t pay all their bills while all the stuffed suits get their cheap thrills in the law of the jungle it’s kill or be killed while in the land of the free all the wine has been spilled ----------------------- they took an oath to the constitution I think we the people need restitution time to make a new resolution tell me tell me is there any solution ---------------------------- clowns in gowns on thrones, pounding their gavel while forgotten people are thrown in the gravel if you need an abortion you gotta travel while A-15’s replace baby rattles borders overflowing hate on the rise immigrants aint criminals can you empathize in the land of the free can you recognize your neighbors who labor with tears in their eyes ----------------------------------------- they take an oath to the constitution then turn their backs on their own institution they’d be happy to bring back segregation yet they ignore attempts of interrogation ----------------------------------------- the American dream is a fairy-tale they say keep on trying then laugh when you fail it’s the land of the free but who’ll post your bail it’s the land of the free with invisible jails View all 35 posts  EYEOFTHEDESERT in reply to rak03252: Amen read the constitution and respect it it was an important document created by and for the people rak03252: the other day, my mind was a blank, then this happened... DO YOU SEE ME © by rak my mind is blank today I’ll thank you, to stay away that’s about all, I got to say blue skies always turning gray can’t seem to concentrate anything important must wait not open for debate just check marks, on a slate people on the move think they got something to prove think they gotta find their groove I just need someone to soothe I said my mind is blinkity-blank been steam-rollered by a tank crawled from the river, collapsed on the bank watching while all my proclivities sank and I don’t know, which way to turn to the left is the bow to the right is the stern up ahead is the flood right behind, fires burn always one more lesson to learn I see the world, don’t like what I see I see so many people still need to be free I see what was, I see what’s yet to be I see you, do you see me rak03252: i surely hope i am not the only one seeing these things and feeling these things... SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY © by rak absolute power, absolute immunity sounds like somebody doesn’t want democracy with no checks or balances freedom’s bound to fall sounds like somebody wants to have it all this is really serious is everyone delirious free and fair elections are for when one wins sounds like somebody whose head and tongue still spins forget about NATO all the allies are just jokes sounds like somebody calling truth a hoax somebody wants to take away your rights in the dark of night I know I’m not the only one who sees danger in the setting sun sounds like somebody wants to keep democracy on the run rak03252: in some ways, even those you may not suspect.... CONNECTED © by rak yes indeed we’re all connected in more ways than you expected linked like chains in a fence nerves are rattled, tweaked and tensed what binds us finds us still at odds people worshiping different gods love thy neighbor bury hate but peace and unity will have to wait seems we’re walking divergent paths how we got here, do the math life is not a spelling bee reading one more mystery we’re all connected sometimes rejected loved and coddled sometimes neglected it’s never easy stone and steel but can the mystery reveal what’s real excuse abusers rewrite the laws free the guilty flaunt the flaws we’re connected but not the same point the finger who’s to blame we’re all connected in the end there’s a deadline that won’t extend you pay a price the final fine I can’t pay yours you can’t pay mine rak03252: guess this pretty much speaks for itself.... .(also very tuneful/singable) A PEACEFUL MAN © by rak this olde world has got me down too much unrest all around wars galore hatred too what’s a peaceful man to do and where does the money come from where does the money go it’s coming out of our pockets everybody knows it’s so this olde world on shaky ground blood and flooding all around loud mouth liars danger zones won’t leave a peaceful man alone wonder how and where it ends studying the latest trends does anybody have a plan join hands with a peaceful man does this olde world even stand a chance violent crimes the new romance mass shootings of innocents a peaceful man says it makes no sense can it ever start over too many lives at stake when all the hands start stirring something bound to break is there any recourse is there a place to take a stand someone says use peaceful force so says a peaceful man rak03252: the olde saying the pen is mightier than the sword... i guess the title gives the ending away.... PEN VERSUS SWORD© by rak it’s upside down, at best put it to a test who’ll clean up this mess do you dare, render a guess always answers to your questions or are they mere suggestions, remedies, or indiscretions seems like multiple regressions when everywhere you go don’t see anyone you know someone says, ”go with the flow” but that’s not the way you row sometimes you gotta swim upstream lost in a whirlpool of swirling steam chaos and collisions cascading in dreams leading into more extremes and hope is a luxury you’ll never afford scorn and confusion become your reward then a booming voice calls, ”All aboard!” you grab your pen, to battle the sword rak03252: something new...think hard driving rock tune (a matter of perspective) THE WAY IT IS © by rak I was steady on the spy I watched the embers glow I smoldered in the night watching fires grow stumbled as I ran trying to get away I was running from the man who said I had to pay was there ever any doubt what the outcome would be all I see is people wanting to be free whenever it’s all over only time will tell some dreaming of heaven others fearing hell it’s a matter of perspective can you change your point of view it’s hard to see things clearly when your time is overdue and there’s no explanation no answers, aint no quiz people shrug and walk away and that's the way it is View all 10 posts rak03252 in reply to Summer of Sweden: no, absolutely no eagles influence, whatsover..anything else , is a matter of your perspective! |

am SO sick of "someone" keep referring to immigrants
as animals...and anyone who has a differing opinion
as vermin...my i remind "someone" he has 4 children
by 2 immigrant wives ? and i myself had a parent
who immigrated to the USA, and the USA itself is
comprised of immigrants, who kicked the native Americans
off their own land
PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE ©
by rak
people are people
wherever you’re born
whatever you look like
not victims for scorn
nobody’s better
nobody’s worse
it’s life and life only
not to be cursed
a king or a pauper
we’re all the same
breath the same air
share the shame
wherever you come from
it wasn’t your choice
we are the people
with equal voice
who is that racist
spouting lies
promoting hatred
ain’t no alibi
aint no excuse
for abusers and users
aint no one better
no winners no losers
people are people
we’re human beings
sometimes I can’t
believe what I’m seeing
people are people
our race is the same
aint nobody better
why all the blame
somebody craves power
greed and lust
someone says “believe me”
who can we trust
people are people
we’re all skin and bones
we’re all blood and guts
we’ve surely been shown
wherever we’re going
we’ll get there together
people are people
we’re equal not better
Thank you for your part in history and in our workforce ! 😊🩷🙏💜
