a feeling, a positive, positive feeling bringing
the horizon of jubilation to a head
a hope, a fact, a destination...a station of knowing, there's a purpose before we are dead
waiting to die, dying to live
why do we lie, where should we give?
glorious sky, nourishing earth
why life as babies from our time of birth?
looking ahead for goodness to come
devaluing consumption and trying to win
living true freedom bringing organic peace
peace...let us feel it

waste not want not
on building an empire with center as self
on destroying everything that is feared to destroy
on boarders and barriers, on defenses and sides

hoping for a prompt laying down arms
knowing after all they cant last forever
dreaming of soldiers new assignments on farms
remembering there is never a perfect remedy
releasing the tight fisted obsession to protect
standing in light is the mystery of night
inviting friends and foes to come and see
being vulnerable, living humble and true
uniting with those who have no cover
breaking the walls, the hoods, the masks
and images of right or cool

waste not, want not
on killing innocent, on killing killers
on determining our value based only on acts
on struggling to sheild our backs from the stabs
to free from the lie
to live as we'll die

not hiding from the tortures and pangs of pain
not denying we will often find ourselves confused
living, being becoming joyful while we suffer

waste not, want not
on pretending we've pieced the puzzle together
on always testing everything and everyone around
on hating, avenging, hunger and violence

cloaks and chains disintegrate
in the presence of compassion
optimism, reverent trust, assurance, and expectancy
