She looks so happy
From the outside, many of us do.
Sure and in control
Man, I wish that were true.
For every question
So sure we have all the answers.
Act as if we’re immune
To weakness, disease and cancers.
He stands there so calm.
No sign that he’s ready to explode.
Sleeves rolled up: digs in
This close to just running down the road.
There is no training for this.
Won’t find it on utube or Internet search.
There is no training for this.
No help from lawyers, police or church.
For every question
So sure we have all the answers.
Talk as if we’re not human
Just crazy, drugged up dancers.
Dig this. No training for this is my favorite line!!

Anytime Mike. Also thanks for throwing likes my way. I just don’t write the same way all the time – hence getting likes from various directions. Keep pushing the recording as long as ya can.

Thanks! I would like to set this to music in the near future. I move slower these days. I will be 65 years old by the end of this year, and often joke about which song will be my last. I will probably write forever, but not sure how much longer I will spend the kind of time needed to arrange and record songs. For NOW, I will keep recording and releasing as much as I can.
I still have about 50 written songs that I would eventually like to record. Then there are the projects I have worked on with other musicians. Maybe when I finally retire from my day job LOL!
