Catalina's Milky Way Dreams(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams
For me, I want and need life to be simple and that includes the simplicity and understanding in God. Unfortunately, this is not the case, in fact it has become overly complicated in different ways for me, and I believe for others as well all around the world.
We are taught at a very young age to have a personal relationship with God but from everything I have witnessed on TV and services such as the videos on you tube, plus print in different forms, it doesn't sound that way, feel the way, look that way or act that way. Countless pastors and other so-called spiritual type leaders tell us what is right and what is wrong. How we should pray and not pray. Some of these videos have become my mortal enemy so to speak because I watch pastors talk against each other. They disagree with each other's teachings and even go as far as calling them devil pastors claiming that what they are teaching is wrong and we can go to hell if we are not careful. But how do we know for certain that the one claiming all this is correct themselves or just maybe, they are wrong. Does it become a type of spiritual board game so to speak where you roll the dice and pick your pastor and move 4 spots closer to heaven while poor Johnny picked the wrong pastor and landed in hell for 2 spins or until he throws a 7 or his feet turn crispy and black. Which ever comes first, I guess
I watched a pastor the other day talk about if you give to others God will reward you. That's funny because I thought that was the way it was supposed to be to start off with. Love, helping and respecting your neighbor should be the foundation of one's life. Your love and kindness should mirror God's as well with no questions no one to remind me this is what I should do. He followed this talk by saying he had the biggest house in his home state, and he had a bigger home than all the other pastors. That statement both confused me and pissed me off immensely and this is why. Is he saying that he has given so much to others that God has rewarded him with this big mansion and has done the same with other pastors as well while at the same time, there are those who are really in need. This just doesn't sit right with me, it doesn't feel right with me.
Question? Who are we giving to or better yet, who are we really giving to? We know we are supposed to help our neighbor and show them compassion, love and respect. In saying this "in my own not so perfect words" But I have an idea for this so-called spiritual pastor. Sell your multimillion dollar home and buy a condo and use all that extra money meaning MILLIONS, and cover them meaning the needy, feed them meaning the needy and shelter them, again meaning the needy. People are hungry, people are homeless, people are in need, but you're not sitting up there in your big fancy mansion all comfy and warm while preaching the so-called word telling us we must give. Lead by example. Who knows, maybe all those other big shot pastors will follow your lead and sell their big cushy homes as well and do the right thing.
Imagine, millions and millions and millions of dollars actually going to the ones who need it the most. Does he or any of these others leaders believe that when the time comes and their journey here is over, the Lord will greet them on the other side and say, hey my man, that was some kick ass mansion you had down there. I never claimed to be the brightest light in the room, but I just don't think so, I really don't and where did he and all the others get all that money from to purchase such large homes in the first place. The money had to come from someplace but it sure didn't come from those who needed the help the most.
There are countless others just like him and some are worse and this is what makes it so difficult for people to come to God because they are confused, don't feel good enough about themselves or feel they are not smart enough to understand or even belong and sadly, they fade away. All the while these spiritual fat cats are eating fancy meals while others are eating out of garbage cans. All the while keeping their spiritual backsides nice and warm while others are sleeping out in the cold. All the while they cover themselves with wonderful clothing while there are those who have holes in their shoes, pants, shirts and jackets and that is if they are lucky enough to even have a jacket. Something is terribly wrong and IT'S NOT GOD, it's them. While the needy are having holes in their clothes, I feel these so-called spiritual leaders have holes in their souls.
I started thinking, why do I listen to all these people because if no one is correct and everyone claims the other person is saying the wrong thing, this is where I need to step up and talk directly to God myself and hope I am doing the correct thing or at least my intentions are good. I don't need anyone's help getting to hell. I can get to hell all on my own with no assistance from a bunch of fire and brimstone threats.
So, this is why I felt it important to write this piece at least for me and explain maybe you should just take the time to talk to God like you talk to others. He understands and always has. Maybe you lost understanding while getting got caught up in the intentional chaos. And one other thing, I would suggest leaving the swear words out when speaking to God, that might make him a bit sour on the situation. But my friend even with that, he will still listen and still love you just like he always has. Just tell the Lord, you love him, believe in him, and you want him in your life and ask him to help you, guide you, walk by your side and protect you because my friend that is 100% exactly what he wants, a personal relationship with YOU. It's a sold start and it is exactly where you want and need to be.
Thank you for reading these old fools' words. Just know the Lord loves you and always has. It's time to start loving him back. God Bless and much love always.
