You don’t see it while everyone else does.
Keep dodging us with reasons like ‘because’.
I don’t know any other way to say it
Whatever their game, you shouldn’t play it.

What made you decide to get together?
Why did you think it would last forever?
Poems and games but nothing they say is real
Not much friends can do if that’s the way you feel.

I never thought you could get So Deep.
Hard to believe you’re still into this creep.
It looks like I have to concede
Eye candy all you really need.

There is no charm in rarely listening.
At times the silence can be frightening.
Nothing of value ever comes your way.
One way or another, it’s your turn to pay.

I never thought you could get So Deep.
Hard to believe you’re still into this creep.
It looks like I have to concede
Eye candy all you really need.

You don’t see it while everyone else does.
Keep dodging us with reasons like ‘because’.
I don’t know any other way to say it
Whatever their game, you shouldn’t play it.

I never thought you could get So Deep.
Hard to believe you’re still into this creep.

What Will We Be Like? MSK 2018

In the past I have read lyrics from older songs that often romantically compare human strength with animal traits, or nature’s beauty. WE don’t do that anymore. Most people have never seen a fox or a cheetah. Those comparisons will fade with time. The animals will soon be gone forever.

Then we will be like humans; a plague.

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?

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.

We’re Doing Fine MSK 2021

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.
