Image

If I could re-create myself as someone else
whom you could see as someone to admire
I might capture the dreams in your jaded eye
if any love still exists in your heart to inspire

After all the years pass by do feelings matter anymore
or do they wash beneath the bridges to die on rocky shores?
If you only love an image where will you be
When the image fades away, and all that's left is me?

Lullabye


The young men who were taken to fight and die in the wars were still schoolboys
with bright and promising potential, never realized because the wars took all that
away from them and us.  War destroys the youth and beauty and goodness of this world.
When will we all wake up and understand that war and competition will never solve
the problems that must inevitably engulf us all? 

War is a distraction so that we will have something to do
while a greater destruction is in the planning process.
May the Lord have mercy on all of the people who are bound to be destroyed
in the next wave of crises. I wish I knew how to stop the tragedies of life.
