I heard it said that some with pen
can once can twice go dream again
rewrite tonight go find a friend
alive to thrive to dream again
the taste the laugh the sweetest breath
to cover to smother, to hold up what’s left
examine, and clamor, to wrestle to hope
to be lifted to find to writhe and to cope
my prayers and my cares perhaps not your priority
I hope that for my sake that you’re not the majority
I reach for my green friends my techs and my prophets
to dream once again as the earth gets quite hot it’s
just a matter of time
cause the buckets are melting
and the tall waves will brush you
on your backyard that’s qvelting
no one listened they’re rushing no time to care they said
as they choke it’s no joke from the smoke in the air they said
kids raised on the T.V, public schools, and daycare
now they’re fucked up, don’t know you, and you wonder why they’d dare
cause it’s been you, it’s been you , been you along,
no attention, to your pension, and the green lands all gone,
all addicted to oil, you don’t fight to stop war,
you just watch them, let it happen, you might even want more,
and the zenith of your best bets, of your best breath and moves,
dives deeper, eludes you, falls off of it’s grooves,
better pray now, cause it’s bigger, much bigger than you,
if you don’t pray then don’t you say how come the sky’s not blue,
why’r you crowded, and so pouted, you look so mystified,
I’ve been honest all this time, and it’ s you that has lied,
done nothing, done zero, no steps for the better,
now the ice caps are melting, got this crazy ass weather,
take the steps now, better hurry, better wake up, that’s true,
and ladie’s this means you yes, especially you,
no more shallow, no more lost girls, no more trashing and wasting,
or you’ll get what you dished out, for some of your own tasting,
and your ethics, diagnosis, it’s bigger than you,
don’t you ask why, look misty eyed, if the sky isn’t blue,
I’ve been honest, with you all, all this time, all along,
chase that dollar, heart of stone, eye’s shut, then you’re gone…..
I’ve been honest, with you all, all this time, all along,
don’t put it off, play pretend, cause you broke it, and it’s gone…..
better push it, work harder, move quicker, make it better,
or I think that , very soon now, we will all be, much wetter,
and I have heard it said that some with pen
can once can twice can go dream again
rewrite tonight go find a friend
alive and to thrive and to dream once again….
Crystal shards glimmer,
blinding in the daylight….

Unbelievable…..

Well, It’s official, I’m exhausted.

I feel asleep during the final episode of alias tonight…..

Un Fre Kin Be liev A B le…….

Good morning
how are you today
tomorrow keeps dreaming
what can I say
outside is foggy
inside is leaning
plants are stil greening
world is still turning
cats are still preening
rain forrests burning
prayers are still answered
head is still hurting
kites are out flying
I am still standing
sipping my coffee
wondering what happened
faces and questions
haunt me in my sleep
haunt me when Iwake
I’m just going to hope
I’m just going to hope
God pulls back the drape

And they seem so empty
no mind and no hope
no love and no dreams
no sense or compassion
nothing in between
no heart for make better
no heart for the land
no heart for their men
no heart for their children
no time for me….

I hope it gets better
like hope that kites fly
sometimes they don’t lift
sometimes they just dive
and I hope it gets better
what more can I say
Good morning to you
how are you today…..

kites are still flying…….

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

Albert Einstein

It is man’s sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. — Dr. Albert Schweitzer–Nobel 1952

If man wants freedom why keep birds and animals in cages? Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men. — Leonardo da Vinci

“The thousands of people who have suffered food poisoning after eating beef will, no doubt, appreciate that their beef was aesthetically acceptable, even though it made them ill. `Lovely to look at, dangerous to eat’ is not a standard that is likely to help beef sales.” –Carol Tucker Foreman, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture during the Carter administration, commenting on the inadequacy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Streamlined (Meat) Inspection System (SIS).

“Usually, the first thing a country does in the course of economic development is to introduce a lot of livestock. Our data are showing that this is not a very smart move and the Chinese are listening. They are realizing that animal-based agriculture is not the way to go…. We are basically a vegetarian species and should be eating a wide variety of plant food and minimizing our intake of animal foods…. “Once people start introducing animal products into their diet, that’s when the mischief starts.” –T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., of Cornell University, director of a study of 6,500 Chinese that found a close correlation between meat consumption and the incidence of heart disease and cancer

“When we kill the animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings.” –William C. Roberts, M.D., editor of The American Journal of Cardiology

“All red meat contains saturated fat. There is no such thing as truly lean meat. Trimming away the edge ring of fat around a steak really does not lower the fat content significantly. People who have red meat (trimmed or untrimmed) as a regular feature of their diets suffer in far greater numbers from heart attacks and strokes.”
–Michael Klaper, M.D., Medical Director, EarthSave Foundation, Santa Cruz, California

“If you step back and look at the data, the optimum amount of red meat you eat should be zero.”
–Walter Willett, M.D., of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, director of a study that found a close correlation between red meat consumption and colon cancer.

“Awareness is bad for the meat business. Conscience is bad for the meat business. Sensitivity to life is bad for the meat business. DENIAL, however, the meat business finds indispensable.” –John Robbins, Diet for a New America

A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.–Leo Tolstoy

But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy. –Plutarch (c.AD 46-c.120)

Flesh eating is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an act, which is contrary to moral feeling: killing. By killing, man suppresses in himself, unnecessarily, the highest spiritual capacity, that of sympathy and pity towards living creatures like himself and by violating his own feelings becomes cruel. — Leo Tolstoy

Flesh eating is unprovoked murder. — Benjamin Franklin

I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men. –Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519)

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we’re not contributing to their pain.
–Paul (1942- ) and Linda McCartney

Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind. — Albert Einstein

Our task must be to free ourselves… widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. — Albert Einstein

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. — Gandhi

If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalist for the same reasons. — C. S. Lewis

These were just great….
