STOP!

Stop!


Hey, there, little one,
when it seems your world's come undone,
you play all day yet nothings fun,
feels like you're always under the gun

So you look up towards the sky,
with a million questions why,
and no one see the tear in your eye,
for all the futures you know will die

Stop!
the world spinning for just a moment
Stop the war, stop the hate,
the postponement...
Stop!
and remember that under earth sun,
from love comes birth, and we all are one

Hey there very old one,
with all the things you've seen and done,
you wonder why thing's have come so undone,
and all you want do is run

So you teach all that you've learned,
to shut minds and doors where lands burned
words of wisdom ignored and spurned,
while peace is still the thing most yearned

Stop!
in your tracks and stand demanding,
for a world of love understanding
Stop!
and give humanity just one more chance,
in joy and in step with life's dance

Hey there, little one,
listen close, a secret comes,
the old one there will show you a path,
and if you listen some good may pass

Then, when the walls fall that divide us,
and we release the beauty inside us
eyes, will see love in thy neighbor,
and pain will pass like a birth's labor

Stop!
The world spinning for just a moment,
Stop the war, stop the hate,
no postponement
Go!
With integrity towards a new day
we must stop and find a new way......
Stop

About Me

From Union Beach, NJ, Was an activist young, promoted a benefit concert at 15. Was a Hugh O'Brian Youth Leader. At 17 my dad died, it messed me up. Left HS & started college early, moved to Eatontown, took summer & fall & traveled. Joined the Eatontown Traffic Advisory Council & Historic Committee, redesigned a circle & designs were adopted by NJDOT with little change. Even freelanced on a few papers. Dual major was Media/Oceanography. Being young, stupid, took vengence upon someone who wronged me & paid for it & came out of it with a new direction. Before my dad died he asked me what the most valuable thing I owned was. I was dumbfounded. He said my name. He said, "You can't buy a good one and you can't sell a bad one". To this day that guides me. I restarted my life & continued in state & community colleges all over until I got my AS & AA. I traveled to Mystic, Woods Hole, Willaimsburg, Jekyll, then here where I met my wife, had a son, & work for myself painting. I believe if you know something's wrong & do nothing, you're as guilty as if you created the wrong yourself. I fight for a better world for him, & all kids. I'm involved, because I'm evolved.
