can we listen? can we talk? can we walk around the block? can we solve our problems with words instead of rocks? can we listen? can we talk? are we able to be free? can we plant a garden without a Poison Tree?
can we listen? can we talk? can we ever be certain it's not a big lie not the man behind the curtain?
can we listen? can we talk? can we walk around the block? can a man have an opinion without losing his job?
can we listen? can we talk? frustration festers below keep it out in the sun and let your flower grow
Prices going up
Not enough to eat
People dying younger
And living in the street
Anger and resentment
Pushing folks apart
We need to get together
And open up our hearts
Love is the force
Trace it to the source
So many takers
Legions of fakers
Time to shut them down
And bless the peacemakers
Praise the blue skies
Don't believe in lies
Reach your hand out
And listen to the wise
Love is the force
Trace it to the source
by Richard W. Bray
choices matter
syllables flatter
promises as empty
as the windbroadcast near and far
tell us who you are
fabricate and
fantasize and spin
goodness will not say
what it gives away
treasures more
valuable than gold
love unassailable
beauty unexplainable
the best things
cannot be told
