Make shift housing Nothing to lose Just play And hope to survive til the next day Perhaps its stupidity Maybe insanity Who cares Its what i love And that says alot Split wires bad connect Busted speakers, just do it Cold and poor, can't take anymore And do any how Life is life and The things that go with it Are choice standard For better or for worse Til death do us part Long trips an empty road Collide and flat Educated but still Remain insane a trickle of music from a well |

somewhat abstract beyond my comprehension, though I did like it. Thankfully "til death do us part." A good, interesting write. Peace, Joe from the big MT |

Keep playing your guitar and writing your words of poetry and turn those words into lyrics to a song that will hit the charts. Play on See Ya Bon-Bon  |

We live our lives by choices and by choice....and usually with almost nothing that can substitute for a map. But I read once of a psychological study in which people were placed in a strange city with the goal of reaching a specific destination, and given a map to guide them -- a map of a different city. They always got to where they needed to go. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ [This message has been edited by Ratleader (09-28-2003 10:57 AM).] |

Hmm? I was just thinkin' if this is insane I kinda like it...seems it still has it's staid course of direction, and there's lots to be said about knowing where you're going even it's not necessarily where you want to go. At least you still know.  Love, Shara~  Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

Thank you everybody. This poem came about while I was pondering the point that a guitar could probably be seen as a universal symbol of poverty. Lots of people try to be in bands and go for the bigtime and spend their entire life trying, but never actually succeed. I personally dont care if it makes me poor the rest of my life. Guitar is awesome. Thanx again. GIS |

For those who don't, none is possible." |

  (big hugggsssssss) Pablo Picasso's "The Old Guitarist" IMMEDIATELY came to my mind reading this, and I agree with you about the guitar standing as a symbol of a broken man's melody tuned to hope, dearest friend, I too am a guitarist and I am beginning to seek out record labels because I believe you never know until you try and trying is its own reward and adventure and I'm about adventure! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is deeply compassionate, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
