Maybe

Maybe I was foolish:

me thinking I could fight

one as powerful as he.

Maybe I was foolish:

me thinking I could sway;

maybe halfway we could meet.

Maybe I was foolish

 me thinking that he cares

about the folk in the street.

It was very foolish

to think all of those things

he is just way too elite.

It was very foolish

He is a Congressman

and he's in the driver's seat.

It was very foolish

He uses us as means

to more power and deceit. 

Idols

Shiny golden idol
finds itself aloft,
atop a towering
pedestal too soft.

Gold is quite heavy
and requires a strong
base to hold it up.
One of clay is wrong.

Idols are a problem
since people and things
should not be revered.
even money, kings.

It should be no surprise
when the idol slips,
crashing hard to earth
into dirt it flips.

Now it's covered in mud
the people all see
the idol is thing
not a deity.

Take care about idols
they seem appealing
but they disappoint,
always revealing

The hardest to accept
are the human kind
because we mix in love
which can make us blind.

Let people be human
it's better that way;
it's more respectful
and they won't betray.

What About Wonder?

What happens to your heart
when all the wonder dies?
When Christmas doesn't glisten
and it doesn't sing
What happens to your heart
when Someone makes you cry?
When lover doesn't listen;
there's no wedding?


What happens to your heart
when idols let you down?
when they become just human,
puppet on string?
What happens to your heart
when mirage disappears
when the fun house is horror,
and illusion stings?


They say you've grown up,
that's just the way things are;
But that is really not true;
they're lying.
The Magic only leaves 
when pain covers your eyes
and when you're too hurt to see,
then dreams take wing.


Please open up your heart
let fantasy come in
the wonder can be restored;
what fairies bring.
Don't let the doubters win,
those who cannot believe;
select to see the wonder,
choose to sing.
