ROAD TO POSITIVE ACTION
How do you see it?
If you don’t open your eyes
Expecting failure
When optimism says victory
Wasn’t your heart moved
In a positive way
When examples were presented
To demonstrate needs?
Reasons to proceed
To defeat adversaries
Who have crippled us
Up to this point
Why are we blinded
By prejudice?
Predispositions we
Don’t even understand

We stay in a column
Because we always have
Wear blinders
They’re comfortable
Turn down the sound
When truth is too loud
The dreamers dream
Drummers drum
Who gets the job done?
Those that do
Lead the pact
Others will follow
Dreams into action
Eyes open up
Listen for the music
We’re on our way

There was a time when, is 
a phrase heard every now and again.  
People are sentimental, have memories and 
nostalgia for things in the past.  
Time has a way of painting the scenarios in 
a beautiful, if not lonely way.  
The Grandma Moses greens and yellows, 
along with the weathered-fence-post grays 
all come into play as you express how 
there was something that went on before now, 
something big and you were a part of it.  
Now it is gone and will probably not return.  
The memory will not be betrayed, but 
there were a few truths occur 
then which could speak of that time 
in terms not so rosy.  
It is not so much denial, but 
rather a yearning for the 
peacefulness one remembers.  
This is never to be taken lightly.  
We all look to be filled up 
with contentment and satisfaction.  
Actions are required to achieve the feeling.  
Knowledge of what is good 
must be accompanied with 
plans for the journey.  
Intentions remain dreams 
with no forward motion 
if steps are not taken.  
When desire is great we begin.
Soon that will be the time when ---
