Got change for a dollar, mister?
See I have no money left.
Sold my soul for a dollar
And got a gun instead.

The uniform,it fit real good
And matched my principles.
All big and keen to go
And fight for what it's worth.

Well, I sold my soul for a dollar,
And got a gun instead.
Blew away my principles
And let them fill my head.

I sit here on this corner
In these tattered old khakis
A remnant of what I used to be
Down here on my knees.

The truth it wasn't quite the way
My Mumma explained to me
Was more about a man's ego
And making History.


See I sold my soul for the dollar
And thought it was glory.
But now I sit here lost, alone
With just a sad story.

Of a young man, and a dollar
Who didn't have a clue.
Gave away his principles
Thinking it was for you.

Lee...

Very touching, thank you for sharing.....

very emotional and truthful!

((((( Jess )))))

very nice jesse...sad though

Thankyou Joanne, Denise, Sheree, and Rockermom...

I was struck by how there are many younguns, that head off to do what they feel is right, and come home very different after...and the similarities of Vietnam Vets, and some of our young troops today..

It was more for them, than anything.

nice poem

Thank you Jess, that was very cool, and sad.
But made the POINT, to live and grow..

hehehehe

That was very touching

Yes, I have change for a dollar
It comes from me to you
It's here in these humble hands
That I hold out for you

I have change for the dollar
It's called sweet tolerance
Of things I know and what I see
Of allowing to take a chance.

On differences and things the same
Of one person and another
There is a better way you know
And it don't come from the dollar.

I do have change from the dollar
It rests upon my heart
I give it to each and everyone
From finish to the start.

We all have change from the dollar
If only we would see
There is a better way to live
A better way to be.

AAAAHHHHH, And THAT was the rest of the story,,,lol
Very sweet and twisted,,,,,I LOVE IT,,,lol

Change doesn't happen overnight, you know...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh ((( Jess )))) Most awesome,,,, Change is a stepping stone to the Soul.......

Awesome, Lee, has a kind of universally recognizable folk charm. The second part rounds it out nicely.

Change...

All creation is found in the space between...

The space between thoughts ...

The space between the inhale and the exhale ... that glorious pause ... where all things are possible...

Sweetheart THAT was wonderful.
