A Sabbatical

Well folks, let's take a look at the vast majority's definition:

sab•bat•i•cal \sə-'ba-ti-kəl\ (n.): In theory, a self-actualizing, regenerative, and employer-supported journey of adventure and reflection that gives workers a respite from work for a month or longer.

Sabbaticals are typically used by those who may be more financially fortunate than us. Who wouldn't want an extended hiatus.

The Society for Human Resource Management conducted a survey of U.S. businesses and found that fewer than half offered paid time off to employees.

Your Just A Fool

What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents

Sticky with Coke on your floorboard

When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold

On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm

Do you call her over hand her the change

Ask her a story ask her her name

Or do you tell yourself

You're just a fool

Just a fool

My Silent Love Song

Feeling less than my ordinary self
i guess i must be getting older

the fog already heavy on my mind
evokes a time that's turning colder

at breakfast the effect is picturesque

the window opens up and lets in

the winds again

he's a silent love song

never stays long

does not belong to any person

though he's opening the curtains in my head

Just Leave Me Alone

I've got a right to be wrong

My mistakes will make me strong

I'm stepping out into the great unknown

I'm feeling wings though I've never flown

I've got a mind of my own

I'm flesh and blood to the bone

I'm not made of stone

Got a right to be wrong

So just leave me alone
