When was the last time,
the sound of running water amazed you?
The last you the felt of the suns warmth really?

When was the last smile that touched your eyes,
not just your mouth?
When was the last time you cried for joy not sadness?

When was the last time you felt more then grateful,
for a warm home cooked meal?
When was the last time you really tasted food?

When was the last time you picked up that book,
the one you always wanted to read?

When was the last time you really enjoyed each moment,
that you have on earth?
When was the last time you truly lived your life?

"What do you want from me!?" She croaked though tears she just noticed.

I like pie,
That's no lie,
I don't wanna get high,
Stay away you fly!
I love the sky,
Oh me oh my!
Just To Be (Short poem)
Just to be,
Just to see,
My family and friends with me,
That's all I need to be,
And all I need to be is,
Just me.
Oh Why!
Oh Why!
They think they are so high,
They act so sly,
Hurting us with the heightened taxes!
Oh why!?

They find it fun,
To run in the sun,
While we work in the mud and dust all day,
Why don't we get a choice?
Give us a voice!
Oh why!?

Our children lack,
Where yours do succeed,
Would it hurt to let then learn?
Why do you make us burn in anger?
Oh why!?

Oh why is this to be,
Do you enjoy our suffering?
Hear us now oh king,
We are going to end our suffering!
And make you say,
Oh why!?

And so we made you weep,
When we took the Bastille.
We are done being your sheep!
Oh Why!?
Do ye ask?
For we have our papers,
