Sharing My Mix-Tapes

I don't have a strong affection for you
I save my strong affections
I just appreciate kindness
whatever or wherever I find it
there is something to say
about kindness to strangers
I have to adjust my feelings
the heart may be misleading
I don't miss the old mixed up me
I would like to be your good friend
friendship & good music
but,not everyone is a listener
when I find I open my mind
this little light of mine shines
brightly abounding
it could be just one song
stunningly surprising & astounding
my only hope is you accept me
and my skills for entertainment
sometimes I listen to my mixes
all my thoughts are of you
it's not about what I do
a song is a choice
a diversion to occupy the mind
all it takes is a little time
in this time for listening
all it takes is a open mind
a feeling to sort out
about what you hear & find
a feeling to expression
search your mind
search your heart
if you find an emptiness
destitute of people or human activity
a song can take the place
I have songs that occupy my heart
songs that make me cry
some songs I don't even know why
some songs help me get by
I have to keep it in my mind
and not forget
other people's expression or art
is a powerful thing
when I listen I am apart of it
belonging to a song
again a song is a choice
to tune in or to give unto
a reflection of what you see in you
a thought occurring to yourself
a song can be like nothing else
a song can help you relive a time & place
recalling distant memories
of how you hear your voice or see your face
using your mind & taking time to think
in these oceans of hours a song can fill up the space
rhythm, melody, harmony, and color
but,I am not a song maker
a dream weaver or a heart breaker
I am a follower & listener
my heart is open to music
I fall in love many times daily
I only want you to feel,be & see like me
some say caring is sharing
I don't give out responsibilities
I give open & freely
I want you to be happy like me

You Can't Blame The Youths- Peter Tosh/The Wailers

You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth of today
You can't fool the youth

You're teachin' youths to learn in school
That cow jump over moon
You teachin' youths to learn in school
That the dish run away with spoon

So, you can't blame the youth when they don't learn
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth of today
You can't fool the youth

And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about the Pirate Hawkins
And you said he was a very great man
You teach the youth about the Pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man

So, you can't blame the youth of today
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth

All these great men were doin'
Robbin', a rapin', kidnappin' and killin'
So called great men were doin'
Robbin', rapin', kidnappin'

So, you can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth, not at all
You can't fool the youth

When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a pretty toy gun
When every Christmas come
You buy the youth a fancy toy gun

So, you can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth

'Cause what was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Is now revealed to the babes and the sucklings
What was hidden from the wise and the prudent
Now revealed to the babes and the sucklings

Lord, call upon the youth
For he know the youth is strong
Jah, Jah, call upon the youth
'Cause he know the youth is strong

So, you can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth, baby children
You can't fool the youth

Don't blame them
Not their fault

The Days of Auld Lang Syne

I know where I begin
I know where I end
brought to light
auld acquaintance
old friends
these holidays left me
broke,lonesome & blue
I'm okay as long as I can see you
the wind of my soul told me
to keep it in your mind and not forget
christmas is over
it's new year's,we are apart of it
so cheers and toast to
the days of auld lang syne
bring in anew
the days of auld lang syne
bring in anew
the days of auld lang syne


when I was weeping
thinking of our new year's kiss
that traditional feeling of bliss
it wasn't a white christmas
stuck between a memory & dream
everyone have memories of christmas
let down,it's a white thing
a white christmas for white people
chasings the old-time christmas theme
a poorly thought-out fantasy
of the song's collective scheme
to appeal to nostalgia
the upper middle-class Bing
so cheers and toast to
the days of auld lang syne
bring in anew
the days of auld lang syne
bring in anew
the days of auld lang syne


watching the folks
as I sip hot coffee
milling around the coffee shop
songs of joy and peace
plays in the undertone
small talk makes me feel less alone
most are looking at their cell phone
I watch & listen to what's going on
I am alone on my own
then back for some more home
the sidewalks,cars & signs
walking to leave behind
thinking about freedom
thoughtful of my own time
my life is a passing season
the band playing my head
should auld acquaintance
be forgot & never brought to mind
this is how I fill up my time
so cheers and toast to
the days of auld lang syne
bring in anew
the days of auld lang syne
bring in anew
the days of auld lang syne

All Is Loneliness

the difference between
loneliness & being alone
I know how to be alone
I have my own conversations
thoughtful contemplations
the clear quietness
of a fertile mind
productive thinking
on my own time
we come into this world alone
lone solitude
we leave this world alone
how we choose to live
it's hard to go in it on my own
self-contained
complete in itself
independent
but,not seperated
it's in these common things
it's in these human things
I see how it pertains to me
as I watch the people everywhere I go
I am not alone
I am not depressed from being lonely
I have only an identity
free to think
not lost into fantasy
I will not lose my hold
on my world
or worry about things I can't control
I am free to think
I am free of the need to be free
confusion used to be my enemy
again this quality of a sound mind
that I maintain to not be as needy
I am not destitute
it's the people I have in my life
it's in the kindness I show them
how I do the things that are right
determines how I live my life

George Waldrop- All Is Loneliness by Texhobart on Mixcloud

Understanding Redemption

free of the need to be free
remedy for a guilty conscience
redemption is healthy medicine
to deliver and heal
deliverance of burdens
deliverance from hardness of how you feel
freedom can be a burden as well
with freedom comes responsibility
time has taught me tolerance
enduring the freedom from bigotry
different therefor equal
the love I show myself
the love I show others
is one in the same
understanding equality
uniform character
characteristic of identity
attractiveness
to hear clear
to listen and be apart of the life
as the world turns
and goes on all around you
opening it's self
rectify
betterment
no one owns you
or the space you are taking
it's mind control
open and flow
conscience & soul
peace of mind
freedom of control
mental power is:
exciting pleasure
by beauty
with the imagination
freedom & time to think
between thought & expression
setting forth in words
it's a condition
the oneness of self
one's own self
freewill
done freely
it's in the kindness towards others
it's in the kindness we show ourselves
it's in the kindness we show to strangers
kind is something to be
these friendly feelings
when I tell myself
"It's going to be alright"
comforts in written words
all of the wrong deeds
deliverance of guilt
is apart of my needs
of necessity to be free

George Waldrop- Understanding Redemption by Texhobart on Mixcloud

Free is something to be + trio

I have a distant memory of
a time and place I called free
drinking and smoking
to escape what I call me
in this memory
I use to know how to be free
I knew just what I needed
but,through change & recovery
I lost the old tendency to know what is free
an inclination of that emptiness
unsure of what I'm suppose to be
in this memory
I knew how to say and tell myself
"I shall be free"
in the experience of living every day
change needs somewhere to go
change needs something to be
change needs something to convert to
adjustment to a new reality
free has to mean something different
free has to transform
free of the need to be free
when freedom is defined
the power to determine action
without restraint or to be confined
within this memory
I now know
what free really means
I wasn't free at all
depending on
drugs & alcohol
escape artist
how I spent my time
nothing to call mine
friends & drug buddies
blind leading the blind
in these modern times
freedom is hope
hope is a higher power
like the great creator
or something profound in nature
now I have hope for me
narrow pathway to recovery
recovery and a chance to change
change: the very nature of the universe
without change there would be no evidence of life
life:power of adaptation
a state of adjustment
of my view of reality
amenable to understanding
I have to accept myself
recognise the changes
believe that freedom is my hope
hope is reality
my hope is real to me
within my newfound meaning of free
free is something to be
