One Plus One
with one plus one plus one
the race can be won
challenges overcome
we are each just one
and part of the sum
it is time to run
the race of our lives
forward movement
of living and fulfilment
each at their own speed
supporting not competing
as One

Focus on the Children
can there be a better intent in these times that present
than to focus on the children?
those who we love, who we’ve dreamed for and of
let us design now their future
what does it take to recognize the mistake
of misguided creativity?
return now to the power within, time to begin
with a prayer for guidance
cherish our past, where we did not doubt peace would last
and play it forward
visit the future, forming details from the blur
and bring it home
we are the dream sayers, we are the future layers
being conscious of that
what we desire must burn as a fire
for our children beyond
never before has the future in store
been so uncertain
knowing we have the power, let us rise as a tower
of strength and explore
the new frontier requires leaders to steer
thru the path of renewal
and all must commit for it’s not time to sit
on the comforts we’ve known
the children are our seed, to cherish and feed
and to honour their future
life must return to a balance, acting now not to take a chance
with the influence of misguidance
tune into the heart song, we share it, we belong
to a race capable of mindfulness
let our hearts beat together so we reconfigure the weather
calming climate and rage
let us set the stage
let us turn the page
for our children, the future

Tubular Theory
thanks for the question on tubular theory
we’re happy to answer this important query
tubes are passageways, delivery means
allowing exchanges and balancing memes
those with abundance are able to share
sending to others all they can spare
those who are lacking seek out redundance
places that could possibly share their abundance
it is easy to flow from a place of abundance
flowing into scarcity, where its a welcomed advance
like a dam holding back water that’s about to burst the dam
it’s easy to release the excess to the neighbouring dry lands
for where there is lack and often oppression
there is a desperation felt, wanting to be freed from repression
for basic survival a clear passageway is sought
seeking to fill a need with a flow that’s not blocked
the tubes all exist but not yet reciprocal flow
if peace and safety and happiness is our goal
humanity has to recognize they hold the key for suffering to end
what is the message we can work on and send?
to focus on humanitarian actions – not commercial transactions?
not on who gains the most but on how we can host
others to share our abundance, simply caring
with a generosity reciprocated by a gratitude pairing
compassion is needed
let the tubular theory be heeded
and let the reciprocal flow grow
