Best of Creation

September 20, 2024 


Happy and laffy
And healthy and whole
Vibrant and lovely
In body and soul

Jump on my shoulders 
I'll lift up your world
The best of creation
A kindhearted girl

I'll be your servant
I'll be your clown
Don't ever stop laughing
Don't ever get down

Jump on my shoulders 
I'll lift up your world
The best of creation
A kindhearted girl

Horrors and hopeless
Life gets so cold
Warm up my world
With a hand I can hold

Jump on my shoulders
I'll lift up your world
The best of creation
A kindhearted girl

The good thing was I knew I wasn’t good enough for you

September 17, 2024 



The good thing was I knew
I wasn't good enough for you
As your love for me grew
There was nothing left to do

I crawled away from your skirt
My digression was overt
Digging deeper in the dirt
I could never stop your hurt

The good thing was I knew
I could never love you true
I didn't have the will to stop
Until our love was on top

Now I'm a silly stupid fool
And my carelessness was cruel
The good thing was I knew
I wasn't good enough for you

Panpsychism

September 8, 2024 

Beyond the white snowy silence
And the nothing that is here
The hunger for existence
Overcomes its natural fear

Energy and motion
Eons gurgle into years
Consciousness and matter
Are suddenly clear

Every proton, every planet
Is alive and sincere
You can still hear the music
When it all disappears

Roller Coaster Ego

September 1, 2024 

Win the world
Lose it all
Diplomas
Hanging
On the wall
But nothing there
To break your fall 

Paint a picture
Live a lie
Dream your own decline
Friends and lovers
Say goodbye
You fall for pride
Every time

Hate and war
Here we go
Roller coaster ego
Climb aboard
Choose your foe
Close your eyes
And lose your soul

by Richard W. Bray
