my friends

things that will not help you tomorrow

paychecks, mortgages, leases and bills

jobs and bosses and stockmarket losses

this is his picture

his ideals

but my firends

wild and free

tattooed and holding blank canvases

running alongside the freeway laughing

they dare my life

ask it if it cares for them

they test their days

remind themselves they are alive

“live for today, tomorrow may never come”

they tell me, climbing cliffs

dancing in the crowds

creating the laughter

causing the comotion

my soul reminds me

about what is really important

of which path to take

the jungle of time is snarled

with the quick deaths of friends I know

and relatives I did not

reminds me of my present postion

I am alive where I am

reflections

unplug

you sit and watch

your guard let down

absorbing its influence

every bullet’s sound

it’s opinion

the way they dress

determines the demeanor

of everybody left

stuck in every home

a society staple

more fuel for the fire

with supercharged cable

more choices

more wasted time

sitting your life away

thinking everything is fine

you sit and watch

the evil plugged in

turn the influence off

to let you life begin

faith

Freedom is the only thing the government should make sure every American has…
