Some days seem short and sweet

others draw on and on

 

where it goes on forever 

no one seems to smile

 

just shuffle their feet 

lower their heads and plow on

 

politicians still trying hard

getting nothing interesting done

 

All the while 

robbing us blind

 

stop the world 

i want to get off

 

thinking out loud music in my head, 

Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child

 

i was having a quiet moment to myself

taking a walk to nowhere

 

had no particular destination 

in mind, just walking to sort things out

 

just thought... i'd know it 

when i got there

 

had a fairly usual day

talked to one of my brothers 

 

for a couple of hours

spoke on our parents

 

spoke about an other brother

whose middle name was trouble

 

you know the type, type of folk 

which seem to naturally favor demons

 

always had a mean streak

whereas i preferred not to rock the boat

 

i'd rather set around and observe

than disturb the silence

 

Avoid the call to violence

although seems someone there 

 

who's in the mood to rack your nerves

thinking you are just a freaking nerd

 

and makes it their job 

just to try you

 

not a smart thing to do. 

if you were to ask me

 

i try not to start'em 

but its on when its on

 

maybe the next time 

you'll know better

 

and just leave me 

the hell alone

 

went home, tired to the bones

put the music on down low

 

Marvin Gaye, let's get it on

turned it off

 

 cause i was not 

in the mood... 

 

i was still hearing 

war drums in my head

 

no time for playing 

mess around

 

logged on... took in 

the latest stats

 

the action tonight

just a little slow

 

a long deep breath...

exhaled, nice and slow

 

the next was just a snort

suck in and let it blow

 

my lady laying on the bed

ask her how she feels

 

kissed the wife

she's changed my life

 

every day in simple ways

we hug and play

 

i try to let her know

i am for real

 

my wife put coffee

to percolate

 

just like i like, 

sweet and hot 

 

Searched my mind 

taking my time

 

plugged in to my thought train

looking for Something on my mind

 

drew a blank...

 

got up from 

the dusty old desktop

 

walked thru the kitchen

grabbed a snack... put it back

 

got my gear together

swept the dirt around

 

mopped the kitchen floor

or did i just massage the dirt

 

with nothing in particular

flowing on my mind

 

getting old, going blind

just passing time 

 

Just another day

above the ground
