Roundabout Course

First breath came as wail
Borne out from within
Purged from Sanctuary
Comes collecting pail
All Knowledge poured in
Learn all Mystery
To Fight never Fail
Strive to always Win
Goal for Victory
As one walks Life's Trail
Each Mark to Begin
Yesterday's History
So rises your Sail
Wind storms to Rein in
Journey Soul's Story
Be Strong even Frail
Strength never give in
Why even Worry
Faith and Love to bail
Kindness when all's Mean
Humbly say Sorry
Head tries to catch Tail
Ends where it Begin
Back to Sanctuary
Breathe of Life to hail
Core's Essence's clean
All in God's Glory


I Wanna Know What Love Is

Tell me what love is
Is love truly a disease
One acquired with a kiss
With bitter pill will cease
Tell me what love is
Is love when one you miss
Do everything for love to please
One's soul given as a lease
Tell me what love is
Is love but a carrot to tease
Where dignity must decrease
From moral laws to release
Tell me what love is
Is love a filthy grease
A nest to cuddle fleas
That even an angel flees
Tell me what love is
I wanna know what love is
The world has forgotten what love is
Show me what real love is
