A Woman's Plight, Altered States

A State Of Need

“I’ve been in one type or another since almost before I can remember.

What does this mean, exactly?

It means that I can likely count on my hands the few periods of time in my life when support wasn’t lacking.

With those times being brief.

But is this a true statement?

Possibly…

Yet, possibly not.

I remember the warmth of the sun…

Just maybe it cannot so easily penetrate down into and absolve the layers of pain.

So the aches build over the years.

And, therefore, unmet needs – by definition – stay unmet.”

“Untie The Knot” (Jingling)

Waiting by the phone
Isn’t home
No

More like metronome
On a drone
Meh

Silly little song
Can’t be wrong
No

Everything’s a lark
When you hark
Yeah

If you wanna know
Where to go
Oh

Listen to your mind
When it’s time
Flow

What else can be real?
How you feel
So

Get yourself in hand
Or you’re canned
Ho

Looking at the cycles
That you’ve got
What?

Patterns often flow
Don’t you know?
Alot

There was a time
Most divine
Thought

It was understood
Until it was
Not

“Let’s Make A New World” (Raggae Song)

By Athena Stairs, October 26, 2026

Verse:

Came home alone late last evenin’
Hard to think of what’s been said

Try as we might its been a horror
There are no rights in common dread

‘Cept what greed has taken from us
Without honor they break trust

Without accountin’ win our losin’
It’s me and you who pay that cost

Chorus:

But it’s a wide world
We’ve got to share philosophies

And its a bright world
Electronics help us see

And it’s a hopeful world
Yeah it’s up to you and me

And it’s a rich world
Even when in poverty

Verse:

Don’t ask the jailer for his key ring
When you’re trapped without release

It’s his job to keep you in there
Where the corrupt bend your knees

All you can do is endure it
As you pass the hardest test

But keep lookin’ for an answer
Show up in your very best

Chorus:

‘Cause it’s a good world
No matter what they tell you

And it’s a free world
No matter what they try to sell you

And its a fine world
Without a killing season

And its a right world
We’ve got to reach for better reason

Verse:

Rotten cracked down to foundations
Not even justice can atone

When all you can do is to steer clear
Feel the ache deep in your bones

It’s our pride that will redeem us
And Mother Nature’s healing hands

So when they set the hounds upon you
Remember this and make your stand

Chorus:

Because it’s our world
Yeah speak it to the night

When its a dark world
We’ve got to walk into that light

And in this old world
Just believe in our birth rights

We’ll make a new world
Come on and take it to new heights

Chorus:

‘Cause it’s a good world
No matter fear their breedin’

Oh yeah it’s our world
In every drought and every season

And in a right world
There’ll be no more need for grievin’

To make this new world
We’ve gotta put a stop to thievin’

Chorus:

Oh yes it’s our world
In any rhyme or reason

And it’s a good world
No matter lies they keep on feedin’

And it’s our birth world
There’s no way that we’re leavin’

And in this open world
Come on and share your wildest dreamin’

“Big Karma” (Gospel Song)

By Athena Stairs, October 25, 2026

(Slower, soulfull, deep and graceful singing, respectfully)

Big karma’s gonna save my soul
Big karma like the stories of old

Don’t run away when you can take control
Big karma buys us back what’s owed

(Then quicker with clapping, stomping, dancing, praising, hands waiving, elevated voices, celebrating)

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
Helps the weak get bold

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
Like my mother told

(Slower, soulful, deep and graceful singing, respectfully)

And in the morning after the longest night
Yeah we will see just how it all comes to right

Don’t need to work hard – no – nor put up a fight
Big karma’s got that holy might

(Shaking held fist up in reverence)

(Then quicker with clapping, stomping, dancing, praising, hands waiving, elevated voices, celebrating)

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
Brings us wisdom’s light

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
Settle down now and just hold on tight

(Slower, soulful, deep and graceful singing, respectfully)

Big karma’s gonna pay that toll
Big karma shows you where to go

Big karma’s neither high nor low
It’s got that vibe that moves you when you know

(Then quicker with clapping, stomping, dancing, praising, hands waiving, elevated voices, celebrating)

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
All you gotta do is stand aside

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
Just let the angels take you for that ride

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
Sees the truth that everyone tries to hide

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
To laws of nature we must all abide

Big karma, baby
Big karma, baby

Big karma, baby
To laws of nature we must all abide

(Riotous gleeful affirmationing)

All you gotta do is stand aside
It sees the truth that everyone tries to hide

To laws of nature we must all abide
Just let the angels take you for that ride

(Prolonged into crescendo-praising gloriousness)

Amen
