A Beer:

‘Hello my name is', an introduction to a game
A ‘pas de deux' or maybe a ‘ménage a trois'
Will we ever see ego's great flaw
All people are really just the same
Be you called Arab or labeled another name
Can we as humanity get beyond
Join Thoreau at Walden Pond
Feel the calm and Peace surround
Free our hopes from sacred ground.

Take off our face
To feel the Grace
Afforded all the human race
Move past Jason and his gold
Welcome Jesus from the cold.

Society is replete with these greetings
Seldom leading to true meetings
Though time is spent
To some extent
Thinking, feeling
Not just stealing
I must conclude most situations
Eschew so much and bring frustrations
Due largely to a lack of truthful teaching
That each of us must dare to be reaching!

My name is Robert, ‘Bob' I'm called
By much of life I have been mauled
Still I'm here and ‘Still' is good
I wish all of us really could
Quiet our needs and ...
... vain pursuits of ego
Understand more and relish what we know
Hey come over, I am right here
Maybe we can share a beer!
