feet on the ground

February 23, 2024 

Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
–Robert Frost

Got my feet on the ground
Looking at the stars
Crazy billionaires 
Wanna fly away to Mars

Got my feet on the ground
Staring life in the face
Got oodles of compassion
For the human race

Got my feet on the ground
The body is the mind
No more wasted days
With my head in my behind

Got my feet on the ground
Got my head in the game
A flower is a flower
By any other name

Got my feet on the ground
Got my eye on you
Wubba dubba dubba
Woopty doopty do

by loving you

February 15, 2024 

nothing is only one thing
i drink up the rainbow you sing

no one else will understand
the way we talk by holding hands

we have forever to find out
what this thing is all about

there's only one thing i can do
love the world by loving you

You Ruined My Life—Send Money

February 9, 2024 


You're a horrible person
And a deadbeat pop
You wouldn't bail me out
When I ran over that cop

You bought me diamonds and furs
And Lamborghinis
But you won't bribe the judge
You're such a grumpy old meanie

I'm headed for the slammer
It's not very funny
You ruined my life
Send money

On my seventh birthday
I got five hundred dolls
I called you a monster
Cuz I wanted them all

I stomp and I scream
When I don't get my way
Everything's your fault
I'm gonna make you pay

Don't apologize
And don't call me Honey
You ruined my life
Send money

My credit cards are maxed
I can't pay my bills
Who's gonna cover
My parties and pills?

You're a horrible ogre
And a stupid jerk
You said it's time to grow up
Like you expect me to work

You should support my dreams
Come rainy skies or sunny
You ruined my life
Send money

the smallest things

February 4, 2024 

everything is charged
with energy and light
glory grace and grandeur
beyond the realm of sight

hunger and salvation
misery and desire
more than we can handle
too close to the fire

there's a universe of goodness
in the smallest things
kindness is eternal
every moment sings

by Richard W. Bray
