âINSIDE THE WRITERâ
HUNGRY-HOMELESS-AMERICAN
By: A.Petrowski

The obvious and immediate thoughts that I would hope come to mind after listening to âHUNGRY-HOMELESS-AMERICAN are thoughts of Compassion, Hope and above all â Faith. Iâve always had a soft spot in my heart for the underdog. I learned from very young to live by the Golden Rule and as my life progressed, I realized that to âKnow Thy Selfâ was the first thing one had to accomplish before I could be of service to others. This is the underlying theory behind this song. For if we want to continue helping other countries, America must first learn to clean up its own backyard first so that we can honestly represent a higher standard for others to follow.

Unfortunately, it sometimes takes millions of people to suffer before we recognize there is a problem. And whatâs worse is when we finally recognize it, we donât follow-through and make it go away for good. Weâre just not applying that Golden Rule at home. And so we still have this battle to deal with. One that goes beyond just the obvious. When I wrote: âstarving in this land,â Iâm not just talking about foodâ¦Iâm talking about lost souls who are starving for Self-Worth, Dignity and most important - Peace of Mind.

The precept: âto Love Thy Neighbor as Thy Selfâ is not being applied by all who truly believe in it. For if it were, there wouldnât be any brothers & sisters âstarving in this rich land.â While my reference to âhomelessâ refers to shelter, of course, I aim for a deeper meaning referring to those who have little or no faith, no hope, and no outlet to make their dreams come true.

This song is not just a tool to attract the sympathetic giver, it is a hopeful message to âallâ of Us with similar needs. âWeâre gonna help you surviveâ clearly spells that out. For âallâ people in trouble need to know that there is an invisible network out there who care and pray to âKeep Your Faith Alive!â

The last two verses compliment both sides of the issue by addressing the giver and receiver with this comforting truth: âWe the People of these United States are tough, âcause we stick together, especially when times get rough. For we never let anything get the best of us.â I believe that everyone wins when everyone gives 100. The laws of Nature are set up this way no matter what Faith you believe in. Letâs start by giving at home â put AMERICA first!

âINSIDE THE WRITERâS MINDâ
KEEP DOINâ By: A. Petrowski


KEEP DOINâ (The Things That You Believe In) â The title of this song says it all. Simply because we all spend so much time working with people, chasing our dreams and doing things we really donât want to do. Eventually, life teaches us the best way to grow and be happy is âto do the things that you believe inâ.

This is the backdrop and purpose for this song. I wanted to write a song that I could relate to when I sang it and would inspire me when I listened to it. Something to help remind me that I am okay and doing fine right where I am. In other words, to be happy with who you are and where you are each and every moment. We all have times when the whole world comes crashing down and everything we accomplish falls short. But somewhere inside of us there is a little light that shines. Call it Truth, God, or whateverâ¦but we all get a glimpse of it now and then to remind us of just who we are, why we are here, and how important Life truly is. We may not always understand it but we do need to accept it. And whatever it takes to get that emotional peace and freedom, we need to do our utmost to attain it and stay there.

Everyone is tested on a daily basis. It just depends on how aware we are of the signs and how we choose to deal with them. Awareness comes from paying attention to the subtle effects in life that guide us through all circumstances. These signs usually appear when times are rough and all hope is gone. But we need to remember that our time on earth is short and we can spend it however we want. My hope is that this song will act as a âhuman anthemâ to encourage you whenever you get lost along the way. So you can: âGo where we want to go; Do what you gotta do; do it all for Love.â

I know that âLoveâ has been said and overdone but it is the meaning behind the word that is so universal. For we all truly know that to love is better than to hate! Why? Because the results of love are far better for all concerned.

So âBe who you want to be; Say what you gotta say; But do it all for LOVE.â Can you imagine what the world would be like if this anthem became a way of life? Everyone doing what they believe in based upon Love not hate? I think this could possibly be a definition of - Heaven on Earth!
