Questions 2: The Big Bang

What happened before the big bang?
There was nothing is easy to say
Or that it was simply God’s way
All people wonder, but few will look
Spend lots of time, read and write books
What if you find out an answer to this question?
There would be hysteria, madness, congress would hold a joint session
That answer may not just be it
Like all answers there will be more
Another question, a new thought
A whole new way to think of what we are
Regardless the answer you should always ask
Asking questions is never wrong
You should always simply ask why
It doesn’t matter if you will smile or cry
It is important just to ask
Always wonder, always question
Even when that questions is what happened before there was even thunder

I won't Be Silent

I won’t be silent
I won’t be mum
I won’t seal my lips
I won’t hold my tongue

Ignoring the issue is not a cure
The problems endure, the issues alive
Why can’t we talk?
Why can’t we thrive?

I’m sorry if what I said is hard to hear
So is life, so let’s be clear
Things don’t happen just cause,
Or get better over what one person does
Our world and lives improve when our position is no longer important
When we are all people,
One united

Let’s talk, let’s listen
That’s a two way street
We have our own thoughts, that’s fine
But I cannot stand thoughts
That are not from our own minds
We are not very different, virtually all alike
We don’t need to compete, we don’t need to fight
What we need is love, compassion
Please turn to the light
Let’s not wallow in darkness
Let’s join together

We are one, sister, brother

Take a moment, review your thoughts
Not ones from outside, ones within
They have been silent for far too long
We all have the information we need to remake our world
It takes time to listen to hear your thoughts

When we do, we realize our future can’t be bought
Worthless paper we give so much power
We should burn it, destroy it, make bankers cower
It does not serve us, it is not human
It makes us cheat, lie, and steal for one reason:
Just to get more
To stack piles higher
Keep making numbers larger and larger
Now we have more money than there are stars in the Milky Way
Problem being: our minds don’t know numbers that large
We cannot count stars
Our galaxy alone is so large and vast we can’t understand
So why should we expect to understand when the President asks
For another $2 billion for the war in Afghanistan

So again I won’t keep silent
I won’t hold my tongue
Won’t throw up my arms say: “nothing can be done”

The time is here, the day is now
Let’s start talking, not at each other
But to each other, as what we are to one another
Brother, sister, mother, lover
