ELVIS

A TV special I happen to sight,
On the life of Elvis, an American Knight.
It left me feeling sad inside,
The way this super-star icon died.

A classic case of rags to riches,
From driving trucks and digging ditches.
A voice, a face and a smile beyond par,
Elvi's fame rose on a shooting star.

Thirty-three movies did The King make,
But often smiles and laughter were faked.

In Elvi's manager, Colonel Parker, was a seed?
That festered into a cancer called greed.
He wasn't satisfied with his fair share,
He wanted even more than he could bear.

The world thought Elvis had it all,
But every move was the Colonel's call.
Payoffs and kickbacks were part of all deals,
Just other ways the Colonel steals.

Taxes, Elvis paid more than his share,
Not all deductions would his father declare?
Vernon, an honest man, but afraid,
Allowed the IRS to dictate what Elvis paid.

Everyone has a price to pay
The King paid every day in every way.
If you deal with the devil, you pay with you life,
And relationship with your child and wife.

How do I know about all these things?

I was the Man Pricilla left Elvis for.
She had enough and walked out the door.
Elvis was hurt, wanted to see me dead,
What really goes on in people's head?

What started out as The American Dream?
From abject poverty to silver screen.
This story has happened to many, sad but true,
So be careful what you dream for, it could happen to you.

HAPPINESS

Most people assume there's a mysterious how,
To experience happiness in the now,
By living each moment you'll feel,
A shift in vibration makes it real.
Happiness is not something you earn,
It's your birthright; it's your turn,
To be happy for no reason at all,
You are the boss; it's your call.
You deserve happiness because you exist,
You have that right, just insist.
By acting happy in the moment now,
The Universe will support you, somehow.

Since cause and effect are the same events,
It works both ways, torn, twisted or bent.
Create the effects first, then you'll see,
The causes rush in to fill the vacancy.

Happiness is a state of mind you create,
Instantly, now, with no hesitate.
You've learned to see things only one way,
Which makes it difficult to change today.

Just imagine the joy your life can be,
To create happiness instantaneously,
To smile and laugh so others may see,
Another way they can also choose to be.

So, if you're not happy at this time,
Just remember these words of rhyme,
To be happy requires no mysterious how,
The secret to happiness is living in the now.
