At Peace With One's Self By Jesse Scobie
" I may not have come here to tell what I think
I may not have come here to show what I know
And I may not even have come here to express how I feel
But I did come here out of the shadows to give you my heart"
A salesman walks by an empty street where an old poor man sits and asks him "I see you are very poor and probably cannot afford to buy any gold or silver from me. But I will give it too you for free of charge on this one time offer" The old man glances up at the young salesman and says "No thank you I already have the grandest gold and most lucious silver in the world" The young salesman perplexed steps aside and keeps on walking down the street looking back at the old man every few seconds knowing he could not pocess any gold or silver. Then a beautiful young woman wearing a very provocative dancer's outfit sees the old man and says "I see you are very poor and probably cannot afford my services but I will offer you my body and all of it's treasures for this one time only." The old man again takes a mintue and glances up at the young woman "I'm sorry but I already have the most beautiful woman in the world with me at all times, yearning for my every need." The young woman walks down the street again looking perplexed like the young man and looks back at the old man every few seconds knowing there is no woman near him in sight.
Lastly a young boy walks up to the old man, shy at first he walks right in front of him facing forward and says "Old man I know there is something that you have wanted all your life and yet you have never recieved this precious jewel and neither have I ever had the opportunity of having this great gift. The gift of having a grandfather and the gift of having a grandson." The old man slowly lifts his head from his meditation and cracks a open smile laughing. The boy starts to cry feeling insulting but the old man stops him saying "Dear young boy don't take my hesitation and laughing as an insult I am merely remembering when I was your age and the feelings of such passion, joy and possibilities in a world where I could do anything!" The old man now grabs the boy by the shoulder whispers in his ear softly "But then when I thought about all the things I wanted whether it was a new bike, a new pet or even later a wife and family, I realized I had everything in this moment, in this world, in this life now in the present. Boy I would love nothing more than to be grandfather just as you would love nothing more than having a grandfather but my grandhildren, my father, my mother and my sisters and brothers are this earth, in this time right now. The beauty..." The old man stares right into the boys eyes "Is right here in the present, it is the only true love that exists. Knowing this my child is true happiness. Knowing this you have everything and you need nothing." The boy stops crying and starts laughing with the old man as the dark magenta sun sets in the moonlight of the sky.

In The Horizon (poem)
In The Horizon By Jesse Scobie
Spring time in the windy city
Horses drawn upon the gaze
Soilders march on hills of green
The robin sings the song of day
Through shattered glass you can see
The prince lead his mighty army
To squander the homes of rich and poor
The sun will cry on the land of the free
A child lost in the darkened street
Whispers softly like a turtle dove
"Where is my county? Where is my family?"
They are both lost in seas of shame above
Burning candle flickers in the wind
Shadows grow deep in light's path
Fear will rest when work begins
But not untill there's one last laugh
Unrequited love struck through my past
Ghosts will tell of what's to come
Memories entangled with reality
Emotions drown in what's become
The war will set with the sun in the west
The movements of peace and tranquility
Fall like snow whispering through happiness
The child stands up from the ashes to be free

Scenes From A Past Life (song)
SCENES FROM A PAST LIFE By Jesse SCobie
Chords: G C Dmaj Em C G D C G
The sunshine smile can hide the weary eyes so well
But after awhile even the old man in black can tell
Long gone are tales of glory, forgotten are the wedding bells
The fire in her eyes hypnotizes me no more
And when I think about it they never really did before
But until the sun sets I'll never know for sure
A queen's face in a joker's clothes
A secret ace that nobody seems to know
But I know which way the raging river flows
I can't think, I can't sleep with this blinding light
Full of memories, full of senses from my past life
Beyond the confusion, blind men lead the way home
It's full of faceless angels who just continue to roam
Past destinations, confrontations still uknown
Mother know's best but daughter know's what's good for you
But even then she'll never show you, what her father knew
You can guess all you want but you always knew the truth
Simple is the one who cannot feel the pain
Happiness is sitting peacefully in the pouring rain
How can you lose when noone is playing the game
I still can't think, sleep is on and off through out the night
Full of feelings, full of questions from my present life
Look at me know, mystery man of illussion no more
It's like a haunted king who's forgotten the clothes he once wore
Always searching for an exit, not knowing there never was a door
He married the girl of his dreams long ago
And they were blessed with children as he watched his family grow
And said to his first born son, "Here's how the story unfolds"
A fairy-tale ending to a bloody masterpiece of a show!
And all I can think of, is where do all these memories of past lives go?
They're probably just like a long lost fire buried in the depths of the snow
Thinking's clear, my mind is gone, nothing's wrong and all is right
Full of meaning, full of peace in my final life

A Meditation (rap song)
A Meditation By Jesse Scobie
Freedom
Consciousness
Solitude
Sympathy
Revenge
Guilt
Deception
Honesty
Chords: Cm Ab Gm
Seagulls flying around a burning building falling dying hiting the ground without
feeling. Clouds peircing through the innocent sky gives out radiant vibes, makes the
guilty wanted to die filled with fear in their eyes. You can see the leprechauns
making bonds with the pengiun kings who steal hope from other people's dreams, spill
the blood in to the streets mixed with urban beats take the covers of the sheets
screaming trick or treat. Stop bitiching around i'm not some fucking clown not some
fucking junkie smoke crack by the pound. I'm an spritual advisor who shoots through
gysers filling up the coffee then realizes the stupidy of the siuation, creates
agrivation created so many motherfuckingcomplications. The new world order creates
power out of dust leaving noone left to trust spend 5 hours on a fucking bus, going
nowhere have to go somewhere dont know anywhere i can hide to prove my pride before
i fucking committ suicide.
Feeling lost through my emotions blazing through fires screaming though oceans, temptation lies with the naked women seducing you to reproduce with youtheres not left you can do to run away scared not prepared for what lies in store, in this holy war were fighting agasint the money whores. I can't believe some people get so manipilated they never realize all the stuff that gets confiscated all their rights taken away, while the goverment keeps faking the day. Perhaps we'll all wake some day to find ourselves in acrazy maze in a living hell but we just dont realzie where in it already, its all going smooth and steady soon we'll all be fucking robots likes in the movies, like homeless people smoking doobies, oh no you cant see that jr. it has boobies.
You see it's all fucked up like those evanglisits who won't shut the fuck up, all
their foloweers suck up to the hypocricy through the democracy of a nation full of
allegations of torture, murder, illegal wars, wiretaps 4and so much more. That's why
me and my friends are trying to help save the world try to inform every boy and girl
that when they grow up they won't give away their life for sale to some fucking
douchebages at table in a corporate office who's CEO just got out of jail for
stealing $50 million dollars through fraud checks in the mail. The greed bleeds
through every ego in every soul theres total chaos and little control to keep us
from going completey insane not able to keep those thoughts justi in our brains. Act
out like animals who soon turn into cannibals eating, beating,destroying in the
pouring rain spreading all the pain on this unfortunrate world.
Its all of the liars and all the desires to start things on firethen burn out and
retire into the foldiing time warp causing all the distortion forcing abortions on
young mothers who live in box cars and boyfriends who get drunk at bars beat them up
at home leaving so many scars. Wounds to be healed everything is concealed theres
nothing you can do, to stop what you feelin the moment to start an atonement for all
of the sins you've committed written in stone then forget all your past for nothing
will last, for all of your life is on fucking glass thats always half full always so
dull nothing exciting happens just a raging bull wanted to get of his cage to
unleash his rage to bring out the next stage of your lifes purpose, what could be
worse than not knowing still blowing away all the time spent on disowning all the
people you loved, to the ones in the skies above where the eagles cry and watch the
white doves sail into the oceans where seamen travel on ships just trying to
navigate through all of this shit and just hope that they never hit something bad
and everyone gets made they all should of known just to get glad.
Go to fucking target to pimp your new pad caue that's all that maters in this
conformity society where all just fucking cry babies in a nursery with no nanny all
the laws that ban me from expressing my rights a free american instead im torture
stripped into a mannequin, by the autorities always subjecting minorities all the
cruel and unsual punsihments some much shit to repent burning in hell no one's gonna
save you from the well. But there is a new sun rising in the east, that some day
soon will strike the beast or at the very least cripple it's powers turn all of the
skulls into flowers but we must realize the hours are ticking away, not much
time left to save the day and the only way we can do it is look back all of the shit
we've been through and look at the mistakes and all the heartbreaks and not get lost
in all of the hate and bring the new world of everlasting love till you look back at
today when you're old and remember these words of wisdom I told.
