Ok, ok so this electric writer bunny has been going thru life alterations for…… a good tooo fucking long now, but the big OMNISCIENT is seeing me thru and I have got to toss a skyward “Thanks”... cuz LIFE IS GRAND!!!!!!
Ok relationship meltdown is not so much fun, divorce, lawyers, and cutting in half anything of monetary value because everything about the relationship has become all about the money, yet, I have to reiterate….LIFE IS GRANDER then GRAND! I mean how can it not be with a inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th president of the UNITED STATES of a free and God-fearing AMERICA? HOW CAN IT NOT BE with a great electric rock itunes library at my fingertips? HOW CAN IT NOT BE….BECAUSE I BELIEVE in Destiny and that EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE and when I opened my loaded library of electric rock…. ON CAME THE PERFECT SONG for this momentous day of inauguration of a new president, which just so happens to also be the day that I am able to my return to my writing.
Today, Tuesday, Jan, 20, 2009 …..

“GIVE ME SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN”
(bunny comments in parenthesis)
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promise lands
He tells me believe in Jesus
Steals the money from my hands
(Shouldn’t believe everything everyone is preaching…especially when money is involved. We, as human beings, have to make up our own minds about what is right and wrong and what is good and evil and be able to solidly defend those decisions)
Some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned, yeah
(Everyone has sinned. Me, u, all rock stars, all presidents, including Barack Obama, all religious leaders including the pope. Everyone has sinned. We r all equal. We have all fallen short of our potential. We can all now accept this fact and strive to do better. To be better people. To make a better world. To love and to embrace this gift of life.)
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
(How can military action do anything other then create other military action? Diplomacy and effective conversations, which is followed by acceptance and wise understanding, is what will improve the world and the economy, is what will cease mindless bloodshed, is what will feed the starving and shelter the homeless, is what will erase all ignorance and therefore, all bias.)
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
(No regrets? Well, I believe all actions, just or un-just, have consequences and it is not for me to analyze the suffering of lawyers! Hahahaha In fact, I would like to personally thank Diane for all her assistance in my wading thru divorce mire.)
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
(Not only do I believe in the Lord above, but I believe in the human spirit and in LOVE
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again
(Life is tough. Filled with hardship. I know….but does that give me the right to question? Does it give me the excuse not to do what I should…not to strive …. Not to do my very best and fulfill my purpose? I believe in destiny. Everything happens for a reason, even if this simple mortal cannot grasp the cause and effect of grim inexplicables.)
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
(And I am grateful that I am wise enough to know the SIMPLE TRUTH...
Road you gotta take me home
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
(WHY THE FUCK R U DRIVING BY? STOP THAT DAMN BUS and GIVE THAT EQUAL a BLANKET, some FOOD, some HOPE that HUMAN is STILL HUMAN and that HUMAN CARES about one another, regardless of bank statements and societal standings.)
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, and so few win
(Why wonder? Why not do something about this obvious inequality? Why not hand that extra coat or that hefty lunch-bag to the next less fortunate u should encounter? Why not give freely and benefit from the Big Omniscient’s promise of abundant reimbursement?)
And give me something to believe in
Give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
You take the high road
And I'll take the low road
Yes sometimes I wish I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in, yeah
(Well, I believe in LOVE and nothing, not any lawyers, not any nasty x’s, not anybody or anything can stop me from believing in LOVE.)
LOVE IS IN! SPREAD IT! GIVE IT! REAP THE REWARDS!
Thanks to all my friends for all your kind words of support and encouragement.
