Gun

He marches forward into the destruction and flame
A lone soldier with a rifle in his hand
His friends are dead
His enemies are dead
Now his only friend is his
Wood and metal gun
What kind of friend shoots your problems away
Instead of confronting them?
Not a friend of mine.

Alone Again

What happened the the love we shared?
Has it slipped away into oblivion
Like so many teardrops in the rain?
Is this what you needed
Or what you wanted?
I won't stop you as you walk away
If it brings back reminders of the past
You're going to leave me alone again
But that's alright
Because I've grown used to being alone
Again.

Puppet

How can you tell me how to think
How to act
How to live
And tell me what drives me
And gives me purpose?
I am not your puppet, made to dance
On strings made of lies and deceit
I will not play your game
At least, not until
You pull my strings again.

At Home Again

The sun shines on the meadows
Of green
And gold
And brown
The long bristles of the wheat
Sway in the breeze
Like in those old 1940's movies
I wish I could go back there
And revisit my memories of that place
But I can't, because
It is no longer my place to go to
Would it be wrong?
Would I be breaking the rules
To revisit memories of old once more?
No one gave me a notice
Or a fax
Or an Email
So I walk into the fields again
And smell the wheat and grain and barley
I smile contently and reasure myself
As the memories wash over me like a flood
And I feel at home, again

Problems with Sand

Sand gets everywhere
Coarse and dry and itchy
Why would anyone want to live in a place
Filled with sand?
In places built upon it
People fight
And kill
And attack everyone else
Could it be that
They are envious
Of our soft green grass
And refreshing rain?
I sure would be, as well
If I lived in Iraq.

He Felt the Same

It doesn't seem to cease
The wars and the lies
That shroud the people's eyes
And blind them to the truth
The truth that drives people mad:
We don't need to fight and kill and hurt
It's become a way of life
A way of making us who we are
In this crazy, messed up world
Full of bigotry and hate
I wish I could change it
But I can't
What can one man do
For the greater good of the world?
I'm sure Martin Luther King
Felt the same way.

Blind Man

One man wears dark glasses
But cannot see the sun
His eyes are always open
But he cannot watch his dog play
He does not steal
Nor does he kill or rape
He is kind
Another man wears contacts
And can see the sun
And can watch his dog
But he beats his wife and kids
And steals, and is always in jail
Tell me: Which man
Is really blind?
