Tripping Daisy

By Danny Villarreal

 

 

 

    What began like a flash

     Like the blink of a lash

     So fast our fleeting worries ran

     As soon as they began

    

     To see and be

     That there is hope in

     Happy and sad

     And honest and not mad

 

     Just freedom and honor

     And doing what’s right

     No cheating the fools or

     Cheating your wife

     Cause life is a journey

     A dream that we share

 

     No time to waste worrying

     Or spending on fear

     Just rock with the clock

     And dance till you drop

     Don’t stay on top

     And be what your not

 

     Make your life sacred

     Take pride in your means

     As we all know that life

     Is not what it seems?

 

     Put away your bombs

     And instead lets play with toys

     In our own private paradise

     Like we did when we were boys

 

     All I asked for was knowledge

     And traded it for light

     It made me see the darkness

     And find the will to fight

 

     The setting sun and clouds

     Asked a favor of my mind

     It said our life was precious

     And our power sweet as wine.

     -D
