It’s like The Give And Take of breathing:
We need to do it all of the time.
You don’t have to look for hidden meanings:
Not every poem ends in a rhyme.

Some like coffee, but I prefer tea;
A glass of cool, clean water.
Want a drink, they have Coke or Pepsi.
That’s something I can’t give my daughter.

It’s The Give And Take of everything
That puts the pendulum to swing.
The Give And Take of everything
As each winter turns into spring.

The sun beats down on us all day long;
The moon enjoys hiding from its light.
Sometimes we want to join in on the song;
But screaming all at once isn’t right.

The way I hold you, how you hold me.
Give you all I have, you are all I need.
Never take advantage, help each other be free.
Creating our garden, planting new seed.

Looking at retirement and the final stages of my active life.  What can I get into now that I am literally being paid to do nothing? 

Hobbies?  Volunteer?  Travel?

Covid pandemic and the holidays in mind here.  The verses are about most people dealing with the challenges they faced.  The chorus is from a fictitious wealthy person’s point of view: who cares as long as it’s not me?

If the rest of the world weren’t so stupid and lazy they would be doing fine too.

Think of being part of a team with a goal.  Plans are made and big steps taken, with all the resources in place, the game begins. 

Only to find your team mate is not helping or doing their part. Everything crumbles into a slowly cascading tragedy.  The fact that you love what you were aiming for confirms what the pain is telling you.

You could have had it all.

Do you dedicate your life to achieving success and fortune or stop and smell the roses?  Are you accumulating money and wealth while losing friends and everything else in the world?  You can be anything if nothing else matters.

I often wonder what society is waiting for.  When will we finally be equal?  When will we finally do something about the environment, education, resources allocation and discrimination?

I can’t keep waiting without saying what needs to be said to everyone. 

You can wait.  You can hope.  You can pray. 

But now is the time to scream out loud.

I have an instrumental piece to share. More of a soundscape than a song. For fun, I also made a short YouTube video to play. Headphones help.

‘No Thing’ by Michael S Kennedy

More coming soon!

I thought I would share this little piece with you. I am just experimenting with new sounds to see what I come up with. There is no real structure or drum tracks to speak of. Just a bunch of cool textures and visions of other worlds. Or, maybe it is this one in the future?
