Time and Memory

Life is a jigsaw puzzle God make up
We build the pieces one moment in time
They fit together when we locked them
in,all those fragments of memory fit
we are telling our stories forever
if it were that easy you say how
and then you say why was I there then
I was a nurse in Belfast in the seventies
I lived war one breath at a time horrific
but more I lived every war every death
forgiveness oh God forgive us our sins
all of them down thru time we were not nice
will we live peace now can we live peace now
the people are out sleeping in the cities
we go to the bank to renew a mortgage that
we have paid over and over and over how do
we become a pawn in their game I never thought
about it I never had to money is so abstract
you have it you don't have it and life is
really only about breathing and now paying
focus on love you say focus on giving now
money is evil or the love of money am I evil
I have no money I do not even know what it is
I know what hunger is and thirst and sorrow
each night I give thanks for a roof over me
but ARE THE ONES WITH THE STARS MORE FREE
I have walked on the edge of magic and seen
the beauty of the cosmic rays of delight
I have seen the evil of this world and want
only peace only love only forgiveness now
oh let the gig saw puzzle of the world be
in harmony we will not be dictated to now
