i wrote this some about 5 years ago when I owned a small store in an indoor merchant market. I had realized my dream of owning my own store. but I put the cart before the horse, by not writing out a business plan and not having enough start up capital. Well aside from all that, I had a Hippie shop. I loved it! I sold Indie music, artwork, jewelry, books and had live performances. It was fabulous, but I was a Black Hippie in the middle of East Haven, CT. I probably could have been anywhere, but in the reserved town of East Haven, I stuck out like a sore thumb. So I was also having problems in my personal life and I hated where I lived. I recently separated from my husband for the second time and left my father in laws rental apartment in Bridgeport, which I fondly refer to as "Green Acres" because our yard had alot of trees, grass and yard bugs. I liked it though and forced myself to face my fear of bugs. So one day, I was at the store and just started thinking about how we treat each other sometimes, well alot of the time and I wrote Changes I hope you like it.

I get up in the morning
Hear the birds
Smell the flowers so sweet.
Put on my Love Child t shirt,
put on my Rose Colored Glasses and I hit the street.
My head held high, I'm smiling.
I saw "Good morning" but I get no response.
You seem to look right through me. Try to act as if I've done something wrong.
Somethings changed

I'm not quite sure what it is, but I know things are not the same. We're too busy getting to where we're going, we forgot from where we came. What in the world is going on? What in the world is? What in the world is going on?

I drive down to the market.
Get some Dasani so I can quench my thirst.
You cut me off at the cross walk so you can get to the red light first.

I'm not quite sure what it is, but I know things are not the same. We're too busy getting to where we're going, we forgot from where we came. What in the world is going on? What in the world is? What in the world is going on?
