Hugs In the Hood

(To Robin Lane)


If you’re trying to see where I’m going

I’m trying to learn what I’m knowing

Like promoting my poetry

And asking to help me get a reading

Somewhere with somebody

I asked a friend who gets on these bills

She told me I’m unreasonable.

 

Time to boldly hug like we've done before

Hugging we need it more each day, and even more

There’s no scene if people are mean

Hugs Hugs Hugs in the Hood  

Life would be the way it should

If we all understood

The power of good

Hugging for everybody

Including me!!

Bring back Hugging

Hugging in the Hood!!

 

I’ve been dealing with the politicians

They’re saying they’ll bring jobs to the Bronx

I speak up for musicians

Making sure they get compensation

For feel good entertainment

Playing for exposure doesn’t pay bills

Politicians, it's time to be respectful.

 

Time to boldly hug like we've done before

Hugging we need it more each day, and even more

There’s no scene if people are mean

Hugs hugs hugs in the hood  

Life would be the way it should

If we all understood

The power of good

Hugging for everybody

Including me!!

Bring back Hugging

Hugging in the Hood!!


This bridge is about the guy I love

I want to see him rise above

But he acts like an unhappy schmuck

the bearded evil Mr. Spock

not humane as normal Star Trek guy

and I observe lies no matter how hard I try

he finds ways to be mean and play games

sad to see we were never twin flames

He could be helped by some crazy hugging

Doctor McCoy healed just sending good vibrations

To him, my poet friend and all the politicians!

Woo! 

Hugs hugs
Everywhere a hug
Hugging up the scenery
Hugging my mind deliberately

Healing--
Hug me, don't stop that
Can't you hug my mind?

 

Time to boldly hug like we've done before

Hugging we need it more each day, and even more

There’s no scene if people are mean

Hugs Hugs Hugs in the hood  

Life would be the way it should

If we all understood

The power of good

Hugging for everybody

Including me!!

Bring back Hugging

Hugging in the Hood!!
