With Joy And Not Fear8/1/2019 What if the world
Turned off the news Was not influenced By manipulating views Listened more closely To their circle of few Created community Where understanding grew Do we need commercials To tell us we're wrong We must buy their product For us to belong Newspapers radio Fox news be damned What if we experienced A true natural plan Billboards and junk mail Demanding our time We must pay attention Or we're out of line New and improved Oh what the hell Must we truly buy What they have to sell If we shut off the noise And no one could hear Maybe the powers Would be the ones in fear No place to spew Their political scheme Perhaps in the silence They could hear their own scream Listening to nature Can that be all bad Does the sound of a robin Make you feel sad The wind thru the trees The rain on a roof The beauty of snow Do we need any more proof Without any violence Or protests in streets We simply turn off all Their negative beats No bloodshed required No wars for ideal Stop reading their papers Let's live in the real Our heads in the sand Not what I do seek But perhaps with our neighbors We learn how to speak Our porch is a campus For those walking by Let's stop for a moment Smile and say hi How are their kids Do they have a green thumb What is their secret For growing those plums Can they change a tire Or cut down a tree Let's start some dialogue It's absolutely free Yes technology has helped In so many ways But why not eliminate The bureaucratic daze Spin doctors rule With their ends in mind Let's shut off the valve To their only pipeline Breathe deep and smile And know in your heart Eliminating the noise Is a wonderful start Today and tomorrow Next week and next year Let's celebrate each other With joy and not fear 080119 JJ
