(we don't need) no, we don't need (no more trouble) no more trouble!(we don't need no more trouble)
wo! oh-oh-oh!
(we don't need) we don't need no (no more) trouble!
we don't need no trouble!
(we don't need no more trouble)
make love and not war! 'cause we don't need no trouble.
what we need is love (love)
to guide and protect us on. (on)
if you hope good down from above, (love)
help the weak if you are strong now. (love)
we don't need no trouble;
what we need is love. oh, no!
we don't need - we don't need - no more trouble!
lord knows, we don't need no trouble!
no more trouble by bob marley

bright sky
blue, gray and white mixed together
with various strengths
deep, powerful sun
and a full moon
summer is here
days are long and hot
followed by sleepless nights
the land is parched
with no rain for several months
and over 90 degree heat
everyday
there is an occasional cool breeze
and it does get considerably cooler
close to the beach
oranges are still sweet
strawberry patch out back smells so good
as do the rose bushes
pulmerias are starting to bloom
birds busy courting
our lord
is so good
will go anywhere with us
locked into the car seat
for hours
without much complaining
stays in the stroller for an hour or so
when we go for walks
likes pushing the stroller backwards
or a garbage pail inside the house
like a shopping cart
going up and down
around and around
outside
the lord will
push the stroller for a while
then just walk off in another direction
going on a walk about
then come back to push the stroller some more
then off to walk about again
its so funny looking at the holy one do this
the chosen one loves it outside
puts rocks and sticks into the precious mouth
sometimes for attention
hunger, boredom, tiredness…
in my rush to take the lord
to see the mother
outside
i don’t feed the master enough
my poor vegan child
without a protein-centered diet
needs to eat more
likes standing on the edge of the curb
sticking the blessed feet
into the water by the curbside
going into the street
to test the royal boundaries
i keep repeating
cars drive on the road
moan “ow” while holding my head
and he’ll do it also
inside
i have to pick up mother’s favorite child
but not outside
gets bored with tv after ten minutes
playing with the same toys
listening to music
reading books
the vegan messiah
eats whatever we eat
cereal, kitchie, tufu
bread, roti
strawberry, watermelon, apple
corn, spinach
any bits or old pieces of food on the ground
the smaller the better
points out things
planes in the sky
cats or dogs
anything he wants to touch
or play with
loves buttons
so cute
keeps on saying things
practicing talking
“ow” for cat
“ree” for dog
“mo” for moon
“wait” from the top of the slide
for falling down and getting hurt
says “mammy”
like me and danny does
all the time
will attempt to repeat anything
when in the mood
the world teacher’s favorite sound is
“hmm”
whenever the master wants something its
“hmm…. hmm, hmm… hmm”
“hmm, hmm, hmm…”
little buddha then does the dance
runs off with five or six steps
turns around to see
if the lord will get his way
more dancing towards you while
“whaaaaaaaaaa…..”
until the chosen gets his way
no longer afraid of the slide
but likes it
will now share the water hose
for a few minute or so
then its back to watering
using the same method
as grandma
alternating between
watering the pot
and the ground
will not walk pass a hose
without going over
and saying “hmm, hmm”
the lord is almost 17 months
still with the same hair
smaller for the same age group
but learning a lot
very astute
observes keenly what we are doing
copies whatever adults do
remembers after weeks of absence
how to operate toys and appliances
knows when i am dressed and leaving
our lord, a mere child, is fully human already
no wonder we dominate the world
someone once said
never wish for something
you might get it
unexpectedly
if i want to try to raise my son
i have to sacrifice my ego
all of my lifelong desires
for fortune, fame and glory
there is so much ugliness inside
thought is an evil thing
causing murder, terrorism, war
it can even drive a parent to kill a child
it seems that earth
is a place set aside by the gods of chaos
to carry out a horrible experiment
to see how far selfishness can go
to test the limits of mechanical thought
love is
when thought is not
how long since
i’d spent a moment without thought
if ever
how long since
the entire species
had a single moment
any one of us
without thought
