another set of building blocks

BUILDING PEACE AND JOY—YOUR TURN?

In keeping  with my commitment to toss out  these building blocks here comes the final couple for this  song/poem.  Yes , I feel a little sheepish just after celebrating the champ Dr. Seuss—however if you  compare yourself to others on a constant basis, peace and joy will almost always run slightly ahead of you and only now and then spit into the wind catching you  on your brand new T-shirt.  As it has always been, I write the new stuff fresh while  popping out the existing lines from memory or with changes that hit me in the moment.  So if I had some ado to spare I’d use it here but I think it’s upstairs in the drawer where I have 21 ties I’ll never wear, a sock I’ll never find the match to, and a couple of electronic adapters that I’ve used three times in the past quarter century.  So with no further ado here goes 

Working Title —Junkyard Wings

Galileo winks right at the pope
“We’re at the center?”  I’d say nope.”
If you weon’t hang me from a rope
I’ll show you with my telescope

Comes the warrior. Susan. B.
Till we  all can vot none can be free
Finally got the men to  nod and agree
One more stride toward liberty   (Chorus—sort f )

When will we learn to grasp new things
Hear what soulful wisdom sings 
Act like  servants even if we’re kings
Dawn  our fragile halo and junkyard wings?
**New and Final Block for now*

Bobby says. Be thankful for the stuff you’ve got
If they ask you “why?”  Ask back “Why Not?”
Add al little  stew to another’s pot
Do not forget  it means a lot
And
Chorus

I’ll try to record a tune with this  today...—If  not... Dare to breathe in  your values and share your feelings and ask Why Not?
Peace
