Don’t tell me about the power of now Don’t tell me about the farmer and his plow Don’t tell me what my stars foretell I need to drink from a deeper well Don’t insult my feelings with your inane labels Don’t make my life sound like Aesop’s fables I’m not in the market for what you want to sell I need to drink from a deeper well I’ve heard enough tales of faith and imagination I’ve heard enough about the need for self-examination I’ve heard enough clanging of the same old cowbell I need to drink from a deeper well Sometimes I am amused by your simple allegories Sometimes life doesn’t divide neatly into categories Sometimes life’s answers are not on a carousel I need to drink from a deeper well Frankly, I find your good cheer pestilential Frankly, my dilemmas are quite existential Frankly, I just don’t fit into your clientele I need to drink from a deeper well I’ve learned the lessons that a hard life teaches I’ve no time left for motivational speeches I’ve no penchant for philosophies in a nutshell I need to drink from a deeper well The inspiration I need will not fall from a tree The inspiration I need is not in a book or a movie The inspiration I need lives in my every cell I need to drink from a deeper well

Good News
If you could use A little good news To help you get through the day Have no fear There’s lots of cheer That I can bring your way With my own eyes I saw varicolored skies As the sun rose in the east The morning breeze Put my mind to ease As I enjoyed the harlequin feast It wasn’t too long ‘Fore I heard the sweet song Of the mynah on my windowsill A bracing April shower A carpet of jasmine flowers My cup of bliss began to fill I turned around And to my delight, found My loved one smiling at me Yes, I am housebound But my pleasures abound Because I am happy just to be When you feel stressed Miserable, depressed Just know that you will survive When you keep your eyes On life’s simple joys You’ll know it’s great to be alive Lose your fear and greed Help those in dire need Be generous, have an open mind Dig into your reserve To protect and to serve Together, let’s save humankind
