OH LIFE
Summer 1980
Life, Oh life, what
does life mean,
A big fine home
Or a pocket full of
green,
A bank account for
higher
education,
Or a savings account
Enough for a dream
vacation,
What is life?
What do we live for?
We’re never
satisfied
Or we keep hollering
for more,
What does life mean?
And where will it
end?
Do we live our life
a day
at a time?
To accommodate our
friends,
When my body is laid
to rest,
Is my life really
gone?
Or is my life like
a night,
When it goes,
Then up springs the
morning dawn,
This being deep within
Does it too get laid
to rest,
Or does it live on
after
death,
Still seeking life’s
best,
What is my life anyway?
What am I living for?
I feel that there
is something
else,
Some final dramatic
score,
I feel that there
is two of me,
One deep inside my
soul,
To understand life,
I want to know while
young,
Not when I’m
useless and old.
Holy Koran MSTA Chapter 3:5-6
There are two self’s; the higher and the lower self. [6] The higher self is human spirit clothed in soul, made in the form
of Allah.

WHICH WAY TO GO
Summer 1980
The world is in a
terrible mess,
Running here and running
there,
Trying to find rest,
With all the luxuries
money can
bring,
They are still unhappy
with all
their,
Material things,
Young people restless,
Don’t know which
way to go,
Politicians shaking
their heads,
Because they just
don’t know,
People loosing their
jobs today,
As fast as the sun
burns up
grass,
America what in this world
Can you say will really
last,
Father God’s
word is living
And will always remain,
Only God can rid the
soul of
heartache,
Despair and pain,
The word of God can
put
your heart,
Soul and conscience
at peace,
God’s truths
can straighten out
The world’s
problems to say
the least,
His word has salvation
an
cannot failed,
Let’s turn to
Father God and let
truth prevail,
What really counts
is what’s
in your spirit,
Peace in the mind,
The world needs to
hear it,
Peace is not even
with the old,
The young also searching,
Times are getting
cold,
Turn back to Father
God,
All who hear the call,
Truth is out there
for everyone,
Embrace the truth
and stand tall,
Let’s face up
to our problems
today,
When you hear the
call of Truth,
Kneel in your heart
and pray.
