A target on his back
A beating threatened
The garbage men
Did their work
With their candidate
Winning
"What was in the past.."
And other word salad..
Imagine Walz near the nuclear
Button,
For a nuclear winter
I was getting several unwanted
Text five times a day
It totally re-enforced
My desire to see America great.
Congratulations
AMERICA
May your republic
Rejoice

Is there a difference  between seventy  and two hundred?
Does a man accomplish  more  with a sick body and addled mind
Old like a tortoise or
methuselah  from biblical times
Does he seek destiny  in a cup of tea
Hoping for a spark
To see
And and and
Time moveth along
How long in the tooth or
Deep in the bone
To  the marrow ?
The crushing of the soul
How many stacked?

Bodies are  totalled ?
How many have passed..
Besides
My mother and father
Who will remember?
Who is there to recall
The endless tasks and
Hours
Like stacked bricks
In a wall
Time may not be the  villain
Procrastination
And things taken for granted
I will walk upon  the soil
When this earth is a dark dead planet

Thumb out head down
Another semi smokin' crown
Yeah no riders
Well , ******* jack
We are riding in a train
High balln' it
Almost caught
At the hobo camp
Huge cities
Ya all

You cant get back
I got a destination
(Weak whisper)
I got a destination

Eye on the prize
Ain't no one
Pointing at me
Saying
You wouldn't understand
You don't know
Not only do I dig

Life of a highwayman
Ike E Davis Dec 2018
While riding  to loch Driscoll
Upon my faithful  ***
I came upon three calvary men
Who demand of me a tax
I pulled my trusted claymore
And my pistol capped
The devil take your souls and the copper coin to match
I took the bounty chest rightly full of gold
I yelled to the devil
Here comes three more for your hole
Shalah  hey Heidi do ** de oh
Life as a highwayman
Life as a highwayman
I buried half me treasure
And the other half is gone
Perhaps  the ****** that earned it
Will help the minstrel  sing my song

Shadey hey hey do oh
Life of a highwayman
Life  of  a  highwayman

I took the remaining treasure
And arranged passage on a
Ship
I would tame America with
The claymore  on my hip

Life of  a  highwayman
Life  of a highwayman

Them thar hills
Them thar hills
I used to
Roam
As a child
Them thar hills
They were green and they were
Near
During my youth they were there
Them thar hills
Them thar hills are rolling high
Struggles deep
and wide
Them thar hills
In their shadow I kissed my bride
Years moved on by and by
By
Them thar hills
Broken ridge like a broken back
Too **** old to heal fast
Them thar hills looming high
To where God watches my
Life lived by

Offensive?
Ike E Davis May 2019
Do not confuse heritage and nationality.
Heritage is your family and racial background.
Nationality is the country you reside in ,
It is also what connects us as the third definition

Faith

My body
to be broken,
My mind gone
to the wind
My faith will remain
A foundation
A gift to
Raise
Weaker men
The darkness
Will surmount
It gathers
These days
Faith like a
Fire
Will shine
Like a
Blaze
Faith
Allows us to be
Humble
To pray on our
Knees
I bow my head
Willingly
To serve
The Masters
Needs
My faith
Leads and
Creates a path
I've dipped
My head
In his
Cleansing
Bath
I hope you find
That faith
In you
God grants it
Too many
And he

Garden view
Ike E Davis Sep 2021
Pardon my prose
But..a rose is a rose?
Not today,  is it yellow or white?
Blood red, light blue, or dark hue?
It has thorns?
don't all precious things?
And the rose of which I speak ,
That rose,  by the way have you ever seen?
It is in a garden, with many other colors
It shares the sun and water with all
The other flowers
And which one stands out
To be perfect
They all be...

Going to AK (song lyrics)
Ike E Davis Dec 2019
She was free traveling
From LA
Up the west coast
To the AK
There was no hurry
No real plan
Visiting friends
On route to
Ketchikan


(Chorus)


Along the coast lines
Most of the time
The dreamy sunsets
The waves talking in ryhme
Bonfires at night
Strong breeze all day
While on her journey to the AK


She left nothing behind
Just her mother's memories
She never thought of her father
While on escapes like these
She never looked back
Just moved constantly
To the  last frontier
Called  the AK


(Chorus)
Along the coast line
Most of the time
The dreamy sunsets
The waves talking in ryhm
Bonfires at night
A strong breeze all day
Along her journey to the AK


When she arrived
She went to my cafe
That's when I met
Her in the AK


She told me about the coast lines
(Remaing chorus)
Most of the time
The dreamy sunsets
The waves talking in ryhm
The bonfires at night
The strong breezes at day
And her arrival at the AK

If I start searchin'
I'm afraid of what i'll find
What if I find her
and she don't wanna be my....ine
I can't just walk away from that
I just can't start again
When you find your soul mate
And she just wants to be friends


***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done


I can see  her
Those ******* beautiful eyes
I can taste her
Even when my mouth is dry
Holding hands
Walking on a beach
I want her so bad
But she's outta reach


***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done

Necessary Brutality

It is necessary
Force on force
There really  is no
Power with just
A voice
It is a necessary
Evil

Do as i say

That makes my day
Here comes my chance
To choke or punch
Not too much
Throttle control

There's a fine line when
Beating  ***
You can't  let on
The violence really
Gets you off
A
Good technique
Is when you make them
Whine
The bigger they
Are its devine

Hold me back
Or let me go

Nitemare
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
Our President assassinated
Beale Airforce base obliterated
This was the main radar station for western
States United
A plague released
Not from nature
It was engineered
and developed
Star force a joke?
It was designed to keep our
Satellites protected.
Yet computer viruse pulled
Them from orbits projected
Now leaderless no communication
I could here jets and bombs go off
At the nearest military installation
Water shut off
Electricity gone
The cities began to devour themselves
No need for a bomb
I hoped my daughter could get home
Just to be safe with me and mom
I had a gun.
Would I use it?
To protect my family
I would save them and not
Lose it
Locals begin to cannibalize other houses and
Resources
when you only have one gun
You learn to hide and use gorilla warfare
Courses
We managed many did not
We wander a bit to keep our enemies
From finding us out.
Boy I wish I hadn't been naive
I would **** for fresh water
And a bit of cheese
We have become like RATS

Dancer, your mothers grave
Ike E Davis Mar 2023
There's a many bunch of places that I'd like to be
On a cruise ship sailing across the seven seas
Looking out a window
just to see the swaying
palm trees
But there's one place I'd rather be than these...

I can't
wait to dance on your mothers grave
I've laid out the dance steps and the music that I'll play

Oh there's many lovely spots where I could be
But I'd rather go tap dancing upon your mother's grave

If there's one other person
who'd I'd rather see
to be placed in the ground for all eternity..
it isn't much of a stretch he's in your family ..
it would be your dear brother, whose
already
dead to me.
He's a desperate drunk
and a bully
I'll put this song to an end
But let me stop by saying
I hope he gets lots of rest
in a bed of dirt
as I go a' dancing above his rotting corpse..

Always say it
Ike E Davis Oct 2022
A long time from now
When you have turned
Purple and black
I will be high on a green dragon
Looking down
Not just at you
But at the many years that have passed

I will remember,  I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
Had I asked you would have said "Yes"
And that you would hang in there .
Until the time you would see me,
Mounted high waving goodbye
On that magical dragon

If I only knew..I would've asked.

Unfortunately
Ike E Davis May 2021
She was never very giving
Or understanding of me
She took in the sun
And stuck me in shade
If I would have been
Given
Half
the
attention
She'd demanded
I would be

Studded leather
A feather boa
Wrapped in golden thread
And not forgotten
Live like you care
About others
And your actions
Are not for praise
I just don't think
Much of her
These passing days

Idk what do you call it?

Dependable

But everyone wants to make a better mouse trap.

You said mouse trap, not rat trap

Every one is passing through
Like Numbers on a calculator
Your number will come up soon
More likely now than later
The Boss is sitting in a chair
Rubbing his temples
His seat maybe high now
But too easily topples
Slamming fist against a locker
Him and his wife are over
***** or Bill's it's either one or the other
They'll burn through the newbies
Let them work the hours
And those disgruntled old boots
Just complain to one another
You're just passing through
They'll find some one to take your place
Your badge will be passed to a brand new face
Here's a small thank you
a little money
Every month
It gets taxed subtracted and hardly worth
The life and time you gave up
Figure it out
it's not too late
Don't become someone everyone hates
Keep your sanity
Save a soul
That of another
Or your own

Stand a little stronger
Ike E Davis Feb 2023
I often wonder if we could stand a little stronger
You could always catch me when I fall
And when your knees buckle
I'd save you from the ground.

You catch me when I'm staring
I turn my head and laugh
your still as beautiful as on the day we met
Other times , when the light hits you a Certain way
I can see both our daughters in your profile
and it blows my mind away
Honestly ...

You're my best friend
don't ask me why
You hold your ground when you're right better than any man, and when you're mistaken,,well it happens seldom times,
you are big enough to stand up and make it right
You work like a mule
you are stubborn through and through
These are just some reasons I fell in love with you
You're the mother of my children my partner and my friend
I don't know where I'd be now if you didn't take my hand
Growing old *****
But together we strive
you and I will make it through
side by side,
I still stop to wonder if we could ever stand stronger you'd catch me when I fall?

Being small
Ike E Davis Jan 2020
I am small
It is easier being small
I don't take up much space
I don't look anyone in their face
I am not one who confronts
I cower and scurry like a runt
I turn the other cheek
Like a religious freak
I don't mind being small
I'm fine with it but, will I crawl?
How much weight can these shoulders take
When the last straw hits i won't break
I realize that this world is a small pond
I live here among everyone hiding in the fronds
For the sake of others I must grow
To give strength to all from my soul
We as a collective are too important
To not become grand is self indulgent
When I "became " I'm going supernova
Going for broke superman move over
I'll be a guiding light for all to see
You should grow too please join me

When the others
Came to watch
The floating pig
Move across,
The puzzle piece sky
While some may live
Those others
Have what chains
They born in life
And there,we stood
In synthesized light
Moving the button
To madness machine
Leaving just a memory
To us
Or to them
There are questions
These are cigars

Omaha (song)
Ike E Davis Jun 2021
She doesn't mind the trailer
Or the brand he smokes
She thinks about the car she wants as she sits waiting
for the bus
She does her wash at her folks house and her pop doesn't understand
why his daughter stays with such a man

Here in Omaha
She dreams of a better life
In Omaha
She struggles to get by
Here
in Omaha

Another pay check he cashed and spent down at the casino he gambles with the rent
She may have to work some doubles to pay for this weeks food bill
When you're eating for two you do whatcha gotta do

In Omaha
She dreams of a better life
In Omaha
She struggles to get by
Here in Omaha

She told him he'll be a father
And he demands a test
To prove he's the daddy and show her unfaithfulness
She takes a small bundle
of her things
and goes away from him
to live out her dreams

In Omaha
Here in Omaha
In Omaha
Here in Omaha

A young man sees her in distress he asks if she needs help and she tells him yes

In Omaha

From here
Ike E Davis Sep 2019
Do you look out from where you stand
and shout out your decree?
Do you look
only
out
and not within
When making such a scene ?
Are there higher points that you could reach
Where the view is clearer still?
With new eyes you begin to see
How your perspective shapes your will.
Higher platues away from your phones
Things found in dusty books
When men of wisdom laid stepping stones
That not many of today have took
The thing about these paths are
They never end
There are millions of stones to be laid
Perhaps by your hand
Take that first step and let the journey begin.

Aye Laddie
Your hairs gone gray
Your bonnie lass has gone astray
Nay your kin folk know ye name
Nay a prayer has crossed your lips
In at least these thirty years

But no one buys copper these days
Hope and luck have made ye a piker
You're as mad as a hatter
And you have  no one left to blame

You can close  your  eyes

You can  deny
This pending  disaster
It's not funny how when
There is a need
There's no one there
At least not for me

I hold my breath
Counting begins
I get to a thousand
And start again
To close to ignore
To familiar to not fear it's at my door this monster
Is here
Burning candles  keep the light on
Running the TV
Until the dawn
There's no kryptonite
There's no crucifix
And denial
This time won't fix
Here is the monster
Here is the end

The sun has just went down. I turn on my little light by my chair that throws a soft glare across my room
,its caused by my light Pointing at the reflective louvers of my blinds.
I have my window open a crack. Cool  fresh air is being pulled into the room by my little fan that is always set on quiet mode. The room has the perfect climate, cool dark cozy.
Funny how its normally just me. I guess not everyone likes cool. I just heard a school of geese fly over my house. It sounds like an airborne argument.
It also sounds amazing, especially  growing  up where I did hearing nothing but huge planes over head. With this perfect setting, there is still something missing, companionship.  I need a dog.

Water
Ike E Davis Jun 2023
You can not solder a pipe if there is water in it
Water always takes the easiest route
Water finds its own level
It hits as hard as steel or as soft as itself
Be like water
Too much water consumption can lead to death
You can drown in 3 inches of water
3 days with no water and you die
Never drink salt water
Salt water doesn't freeze
Any water here, now  ,is millions of years old
Don't drink water fish **** in it

Super hero
Ike E Davis Jan 2019
A stronger man reaches out to help a weaker man
His strength over  comes the others mans
Failure, due to both of
their energies they are able to function and both of their halves makes them strong as one.
Don't look at it as a case of halves.
The weaker man gives more to help the stronger one stay strong during the process of assistance.
Because whatever hope the weaker fellow is now experiencing due to the arrival of the hero, he transfers that energy out to help give power to the rescue.
Don't look at it like heros and weaklings,
Think of it as brother helping brother.
And don't you know,
He's not heavy he's my brother

Start and circle back

But you changed that

Circled back
Circle me

Go back

Did you feel that
Did you stare back

The next American poem
Ike E Davis Sep 2019
Grand intervention occurs when I sleep
The words are from a spiritual depth
The feelings engrossed, are steely ****
Driven by such I write in the dark
I have done it again the next great Poem
Epic creation I know it'll slay them
I finish the last line and adjust in bed
The journal on the floor to darkness I tread
Now awake I read the great work
And it sure reads different I feel like a ****
Yet i must not deprive anyone my latest masterpiece
So i humbly submit this poem at your feet

What have I been
Sitting in
It is all over me
Such viscosity
What has
It all
Cost me
Wallowing
In it
Have you
Ever just
Heaving cried
With it
Bathed
Within it
Look at her
Then at him
Dripping from
Their
Very skin
I'm crying
In it
I'm crawling....through
But soon
Will hit that wall
And I'm fighting
Back not holding
To hope
I'm free from it
Most not
I'm free and it
Caught my heart

Having fun?
Ike E Davis Dec 2018
She runs tonight
Like a bullet takes a life
Faster than the speed of sight
She runs
To hide
her desire
to get higher
She's about to expire
Her life has run down
Like a crib on a bough
With no mothers hand
To give
Any rythym to the limb
She can't feel
Normal or real
She has gone beyond the pain
Beyond hate or blame
To an
Ethereal plain
Where only God
moves
Faster than the rain
As steady as a beat
The rythym of her heart
Which she
out runs
Looking for the fun
And hiding
from
Her, pain

By the back gates
Near the parking lot
Where the homeless
Are seen
There's a space there
That's reserved
for me
I'm kinda famous
At least here
Where the wineos
Drink their beer

Behind  the laundry mat
I can be seen
Standing apart
From the riff raff
And the bruisers
I got my spot
From stepping up
This is where
I planted

Give up

If I give up my guns
And the boogie man
Comes
How shall I defend
my life

a she devil
And I hide under her apron
From the light
As fierce as she is
She alone can not
Face such horrors
Of the type
That I speak
Weak I maybe
And old become
These bones
But alone I can
Defend my keep
These weapons were made
To make all men the same
I will protect
My countrymen
My family
And friends
As long As I have
This gun in my hand
Never will I be a slave

There once was love
Neither could deny
The rush of youth
The look In
A lovers eye
As time
Separates
The moon from
Orbit
So should some
Lovers
Be cut short
She could forgive him
For his sake and
Soul alone
She could forgive him
And beckon him
Home
Home
Oh home
But what's the
Sense to forgive him
Now
He'll never know
Just how being
Forgiven
Could be
There once was love
She could forgive him
And beckon him home
Oh home
Come home

Pressed
Against

We shall hover
Like in space
But

Time will continue To
tic
some may Struggle
mere inches
Above the ground
Then we need
Friends to strap us Down
It's days like these
We want to be birds
Untethered wings
Uncontrolled

But I'm talking
About motion halted

Before
Ike E Davis Nov 2019
Before I go
Please take from me
All the feelings
That you need
Don't hold back
For there's nothing left of me
Take what you need
Before I go.
Here's some light
When you can't find the way
Take some hope
When you bend your knee
to pray
Take some time
all the time you need
To make up for my leaving
Be brave
unlike me
Do what's right
And not what's
Easy
Stand for those
Who fear to fall
Be better than me
Please. take it all
Give until
you are but a shell
Let those who live
Remember you well
Take from me
So some small part
Remains
May you live
Many more years
By living strong
Without fear.

Ithogoths
Ike E Davis Jul 2019
ithogoths , molypogs disembodied frights

starlets and fairies bursting into flight

geneophobes miscreants black forms of mishapened blight

stereo's and boom boxes pounding in the back

spilled ***** and filthy toilets , overflowing ******'s with the ****** cakes all black

vampire women with blood on their lips shaking what God gave them

to attract the male imp

movement and swaying and drugs ingested ,espeacialy the ones that are cheap

smokey haze above the heads of thugs , ****** and creeps

points of dim lights from hand held go bots

the floor is damp from the sweat pouring off their ***'s

connecting with other degenerates in the filth

locking themselves in the bathrooms to **** and shoot up

to gyrate on and infiltrate daddys sweet thing

to mock the elders and spit on the kings good name

creating havok ,embracing darkness

its a generational thing

its dollar night for the grog

and all will have their fill

the goblins and the elves now enter

soon blood will spill

the knights of enclave will surround

the hollow jug

a spell of blessing light will flood the ***** floors

out scatter the ***** things now un-embraced

it's what they consider love

and some of the black forms are held fast

by the spell of steel shanks

all the whoos in whooville quiet in their boxes

now give thanks

cause once the spell of steel shanks is cast

the maddness ends at last

Rings
Ike E Davis Jan 2019
You can ask for your ring back
It can signify your status
There are several types of
Rings
From head to eyebrows
Or used as ****** devices
Rings on necklaces
Or exchanged
During promises
They can mark an
Achievement
Or be passed
At times of bereavement
A representation of a bond
Of a loving future
Or revoked  when
That love
Is gone
Expensive or cheap
It's the thought behind
It
For a circle
Is infinite

Used

Every one is passing through
Numbers on a calculator
Your number will come up soon
More likely now than later
Boss sitting in a chair
Rubbing his temples
His seat maybe high now
But too easily topples
Slamming fist against a locker
She's at it again
Him and his wife are over
We really  can't depend on one another
They'll burn through the newbies
Let them work the hours
And those disgruntled old boots
Just complain to each other
You're just passing through
They'll find some one to take your place
Your badge will be passed to a brand new face
Here's a small thank you a little money
Every month
It gets taxed subtracted and hardly worth
The life and time you gave up
Figure it out it's not too late your youth is running out get outta this place
Keep your sanity
Save the soul of another or your own

Crazy talk
Ike E Davis Dec 2019
Have you ever heard the babbling of a brook
The sound of rushing water against a rock
The chittering of animals when a predator is near
The crashing of rifles dropped in fear
A clock ticking and ticking louder each tock
A countdown to an explosion never to
Erupt
Buzzing insects near ones ear
It is the idea of the blood letting that causes the mind to slip gears
Children crying
Cats meowing
Dogs howling
The asylum at night
The elderly in nursing homes begging for family or
to be set free from the walls
With no where to go they'd wander the streets
A distant memory
guides their feet
They will find no home
But silence at last
on the empty street
The humm of street lights
begin
But the illuminating light
Does not mean
the end
