39/M/Detroit I write
I’ve never cared for politicians And I’m not religious But I feel a helping hand guiding the way Life is a rose garden with thorns A love story A horror I wrote a one word poem titled “ WAR” Got in a car Drove out west When i got there I turn around Came right back I had some things I had to figure out in my head They feel a whole lot better now than they did then

Go To Sleep
Left on some train tracks A train barreling down The side of the road Nothing around Tied up Blind Knowing the suns going down You can choose hate Make it your own Or love but never like this before We ended like a handful of sand thrown against the wind Start a fire Fan it to death Scream at the sky til you're out of breath Drive 155 towards the sun as it sets Sometimes we hold on so tight we squeeze out the life An unnoticed death A crime in the night A sequence years ago that led us to the question why All I know is I don't want you to go I don't want you to go

WAR
I found you in a daydream The clouds smiled They knew our names A statue with eyes that move Puddles gather There is no rain As you took your last breath No more pleasure No more pain The garden called your name When you got there everything withered away I hear a million voices sing it "Goodbye Generation" A diamond chandelier shattered All I could hear was the pouring rain These halls were filled with childrens laughter Now its just an empty place The rubix cube of life takes its shape Im an All American Proletariat Working man with no name Some are born with keys to the castle Others work themselves to death everyday I hear a million voices sing it Goodbye generation, generation bye bye

Goodbye Generation
Paranoid dope dealer giving out samples for free News lady says theres been another shooting spree Gas station clerk Grocery store bagger at work Little old lady crossing the road clutching her purse Traffic jam at 5 I bet he's got a dollar when I got a dime He's got a meal when I got wine He's got a wife and Im just a client Paved revolution Systematic execution I heard today its 3 in 5 teenagers that are using Headed for a change Hookers work a street In an empty beer glass the drunk weeps Down and out gambler finally admits defeat Violence Turbulence Ski mask Armored vest Some people aint even safe while they're sleeping in their own bed Headed for a change No time for rest A mind racing no sleep Days spent in the forrest Cant find any peace Were just drops in a bucket Were just flies in a swarm That swarm soon one day will be busting down their door I wrote a letter to God but couldnt find any stamps So I tied it to some balloons, let it go now only God knows where its at.
