This is a song from my CD "In Our World". I wrote this after I was led to believe I was coming into a great deal of distribution money only to find out the promise was given to me by a fraudulent person. I was reminded then how important money really isn't and how important our intentions and service we offer to each other that really matter. Here are the lyrics:

FOSSILS (WHAT DOES IT MATTER?) | ©1998 Wm. Dickson

Once upon a fairy tale, I was rich and you and me.
We tossed coins down the wishing well, 
and out popped sunshine and living well.
Ohh ho am I dreaming?

I could spin yarns of gold into magic worlds unfold.
And you would love me right as rain. So unselfish, no disdain.
The reason, an economic high.

What does it matter. You are you and I am I.
But I’d feel better. More validated tell me why.

Mirror’s looking back at me. I’m so thin and you think you’re fat.
Someone took their life tonight over pressures of living right.
Seems weird, we’re so insecure.

Chorus

Who cares? Look at these teeth. Been here a million years. 
Time flows like the tide and I know, I can’t hide.

Fossils ( What Does It Matter )

Here is a little background on the characters and the nature of the world in which they exist. The main character is Kalar Dien (pronounced Kay Lar Dean). He is a scientist, specifically a holophysicist. A holophysicist deals with the nature of holograms and the development of holograms for use as technological aids and media. His sister is Charin, (pronounced Chair+In) is about three years older and is the leader of a church named Chryslyx. The year is 2080 and in many ways it is similar to our present time. The story follows Kalar's life as he enters the corporate world and is pulled into governmental and world security matters. A myriad of characters travel the book with Kalar. Lost loves, new loves, his wise grandfather, his boisterous boss, his quirky friend Ben Adams and his spiritual sister Charin.
