(2015)
Today, I wish the pain to go, the fatigue that I fight so. This process of aging is unkind and yet, the law of nature is a fast lane of change.
If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate
Not a word heard As the river flows Over rock, around Banks that lie Waiting for visitors.

Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine

Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
Oh billionaires! How you have lost your soul, lost the goal and kneel down
