I Wish for Peace During this time of crisis


I wish for peace and happiness
during this time of despair
pandemic fears all around us
death stalking us daily

I wish for health
amid the carnage
all around me

I wish for leadership
from our President
from our governors
and our congress

and most importantly
I wish that I will survive
with my love at my side
experiencing love
in the time of corona

Life as a evil Mastermind criminal

I am living the life
I am Slick Mc ****
the one and only
the master criminal

I live in Oakland
and I run drugs, prostitutes
guns and illegal software

I am part Irish, German, Black, Asian and Cherokee
I am a real bad ***
I am stone cold killer
and a wild man in bed

and I am the King Pin
the meanest MF in the world
and everyone is afraid of me

the politicians need me
they get free hookers
free ***** and free blow
in all my clubs

and I have secrets
secrets to sell
to the media
to the spy agencies

they all protect me
as I am the ultimate source
of the dirt
that everyone wants to hide

yes I am Slick Mc ****
the king of them all
and no one can take me down


 
Born bad to the bone heartbreaker


the song bad to the bone
fills my ears
like a mad anthem
of my life

I am a heartbreaker
broke a thousand hearts
before I am through
I will break a thousand more

but only one woman
has ever had the power
to break my heart

and to her
I dedicate my life
and promise not
to break her heart

Ten million stories in the Naked City

there are a million stories
every day in the naked city

millions of people
stripped naked
to the bone

starting down the dead
the dead staring back
in this time
of pandemic

the dead stare out at us
mocking us
as they leave the earth
naked as when they arrived

Having a dog saved my life

when I was a young lad
a dog bit me
and I became terrified of dogs
and to some sense still am

but then many years ago
i had a dog
a husky dog
raised as a pupy

the dog though was half wolf
hated people watching him eat
I gave the dog to my sister
as she seemed to be able
to tame his savage heart

later my wife
had a beagle
and he saved my life
when I was recovering
from a broken heal

Jason was my constant companion
during those dark days
when I was afraid
that I would die
from the staph infection

the dog was smart
compassionate
and seemed to understand me
as I talked to him all day long

and afterwards I no longer
was afraid of dogs
as they were now
my friends
