TIME

Time you stay me with your gaze
all the obstacles you raise
leaving me so incomplete
wiping out the tears I weep

Time you steal from me my beauty
make your constant count my duty
TIme you take my dreams away
and stand the tyrant I must pay

Time you're ne'er good to me
Time, why won't you let me be?
Hopeless now to simplify
losing more, the more I try

Time I'm sure I hate you
We were never meant to meet
None that can abate you
or force you to retreat

Time you take my friends away
Time you make life's edges fray
Time forever you unravel
all the tasks I'm sure I handle

Time you steal my children
and dull my lover's eyes
you drag this weary pilgrim
through emptiness and lies


Time don't give me wisdom
Fear of God is law
Time you are my prison
but Truth has fixed that flaw


Time deny my freedom
Time leave me alone
Time create the doldrum
you've taught me now to own

Love is not your anthem
Compassion not your speed
Holding my fear ransom
Making my needs bleed

Time I know I blame you
the past that I have wasted
It's easier to frame you
than swallow bitterness I've tasted

Time you make me weak
Time you make me old
Time your past is bleak
and the future looks so cold

Time you seem so evil
Time you seem so dark
leaving all these lonely people
purple, pale and stark

A Look Inside The Nutcase

So if you haven't guessed, this blog is about the Commune.  There are too many people that think I'm joking, too many people that think I'm confused, A number that think I'm retarded and several that think I belong in the looney bin.  It's time all of you made an INFORMED decision!  Honestly, this "commune" has been in my heart for a very long time.  It was not a necessity then, but now it is.  I haven't wanted to blog.  There is too much that cannot be said and one knows that you can always count on me to say it once I open my big mouth.  So I cannot write about me, not now anyways.  There is too much inside of me that is not pleasant for the viewing but it will not always be so.  I have always trusted the Great Physician and there is no heart surgery too complicated for Him.  I will come out whole.  In the meantime, I must let you see what's inside this noggin'.  I may seem irrational, but I am not. I may seem illogical but...

WorkMANship

I love men. I REALLY love men! Now anyone who knows me must wonder HOW I can feel this way at this time in my life. I will tell you why. Any woman will tell you that women can be awful to each other! Wickedly, horribly, vengefully, tongue waggingly, scaldingly AWFUL! I would rather be beat to a bloody pulp than endure the scorn, disapproval and mockery of most of the women I know. Fortunately, there are few that I know (or should I say STILL know) that have given it to me.  Now there are many men that know and will agree that women CAN be awful.   Women are great at manipulation and control if they want to be and there are VERY few things that a (any) woman CANNOT make a man do if she is really intent on making him do them.  She can also make a man VERY sorry in a way no other man can make him.  Yes, women can be awful. I have never felt the obligation to defend womankind.  I have never felt the need to make up for another woman's awfulness, or a group of wo...

CommUNITY

My girlfriend gave me this Christmas ornament.  This is a bad picture, but it says "The Commune" in the middle and RELAX on the upper left hand side.  Obviously, she takes me seriously....or so I thought. Then I started talking about the possibility of cohabitating in a dome shaped area.  She wasn't so sure she could handle that....something about ADD, and it not being very attractive. When I pointed out that it would be fireproof and tornado proof and required less "land clearing" than a standard structure good old Joel chimed in with the option of building a square shaped building out of fire proof material. From there on the conversation deteriorated amongst us until there was a conversation about living in mud/straw huts??????? I LOVE YOU GUYS! SERIOUSLY! You're wonderful and I don't count it against you, but NOW I again do NOT think you're taking ME seriously.   You really think we can live in rural Illinois in mud/straw huts?? Do you REAL...
