May It Lead Me

May It Lead Me

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The eagle knows so many things

With sight and hearing far beyond mine

On this day I hope that it will be my friend

Maybe, if I follow, it will lead me to safety

Maybe it will lead me home

Her Places

Her Places

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Her dreams are precious

They are places where she smiles

And be herself for just a bit

We Are Family

We Are Family

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Yes, we may be strange

Looking different

Living different

But, we do laugh

We do love

And we do cry

We are a family just like you

We just dress better

We Are One Planet

We Are One Planet

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Look back toward the Earth

Look very carefully

Do you see any borders

Are there any armies anywhere

Where are the kings, presidents and dictators

Nothing exists

There is only a blue-green world

Home for seven billion people

None better and none worse than the others

So please stop all the crap while you can

Become one planet before you don’t have one

The Beauty Of Snowflakes

The Beauty Of Snowflakes

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She is not quite sure why

Snowflakes always take her back

Maybe something her Mom taught her

How to find the beauty in God’s creations

With a handful of snow and a sharp breath

The beauty travels the world

Speak Out

Speak Out

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Go ahead and speak your mind

Tell the world how you feel

Your words may get out

Someone may hear them

Before the powerful shut you down

They will cover your mouth

Make it so you do not exist

Destroy everything which made you you

But even with all they can do to you

They are afraid of you and what you say

All it takes is just one person to hear you

One person to think the same you do

One person to join you in speaking out

And suddenly, they are the ones shut down

They will no longer exist and we will be free

Deforestation

Deforestation

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Man worries about the entire planet

Worrying it will never recover

Knowing that it always has before

But every year worlds are destroyed

Billions of lives are lost forever

Sometime just one other times an entire species

No chance of those worlds recovering

But man does not care about them

Their lives are not worth anything to him

He only worships the money that he makes

But when he kills the last tree on Earth

And the last animal takes its last breath

What will his money be worth then?
