Lunar Schooner, Sooner

By my intimacy with nature I find myself withdrawn from man. My interest in the sun and the moon, in the morning and the evening, compels me to solitude. - Thoreau

living life on an uneven keel

longing  to feel

i pray and kneel

shuffle and deal

tossing the banana and eating the peel

rubbing smooth sandpaper on rough steel

drawing power from an electric eel

wearing one flip flop and one high heel

trying to roll on three round and one square wheel

one being silent, the others having an incessant squeal

faith seems fiction and survival real

hope is for now as tomorrow begins to congeal

i reach for the remote dishing out the same old spiel

each day, cast in a different role

i rock and roll

sashay and stroll

searching for a soul that someone stole

my name written somewhere on a blood-sealed, parchment scroll

wondering if it's me, for whom the bells tolls

something's 'gotta give soon

bald hair strewn and tattered clothes buried in a sand dune

i can't find my ticket to the moon

quickly, i'm growing old and cold

'for sale' doesn't mean 'sold'

faith is brave and bold

moon rocks can't be rocked and rolled

or so i'm told

Hi pete, dont give fre solutions even if you cant kerp quiet in helping others i see lot of pollution in india first resolve that else hou cant even breathe nirmally in this citu. People like anna hazare hav dedicated life why dont you care for them instead you worried someone will get acid rain?? .what Bout whole life sacrifice you want tgem to die like tgat alone how considerate you are if you cant solve problem dont escape from it and make others escape from it. Like instead of cleaning the city uou will go to pakistan because it is pollution free just beside your city amd easy thinkinh who will clean this. Do you think so can you do that ??
