all the things that a mother does
a loving touch, a hand that heals
I wouldn't know what that is like
I wouldn't know how that feels

she is just another stranger
though, the vessel of my birth
she never did what a mother does
though, she put me on this earth

I felt a bond when I was young
but that bond faded away
these words only burn my tongue
"happy mother's day"

I've Got Something to Say

I've Got Something to Say

And I'm going to say it -
real soon.
Just give me a moment.
Give me a momentary stretch of time to collect myself.
You know,
to clear my mind,
so that I may let this thing that I want to say come to the surface;
unobstructed. Without any need for fancy presentation or forced rhyme.
Just give me a second. Okay, I think I'm ready.
Here goes nothing:

*Something.

I feel better.

I'm a going down that River

//

I'm a goin down that River

••

away from the sickness of Compromise

The silly little girls with their razor - blade eyes

They say

I LOVE YOU

but ain't nothin clearer

They only love their image in some mirror

///

Going

I'm a going

Going down that River

//

To where the girls tryin to become women

Gather together and start livin

Who love tomorrow and tomorrow's children

Who take their souls back to the beginning

Of life itself and it's pure creating

//

COME ON BOYS

BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

AND WE DONT KNOW WHAT IS
FROM WHAT AINT

//

Let's get going

Going down that River

//

To the holy freedom in sacred hills

To where we shall live by our own free will

And plant our seed in the fertile fields

Where the girls striving to be women

Gather together in righteous giving

//

Going

Going

Going down that River

We goin down

We goin down

We goin down that River

Haunted

Haunted

It's not the voices in the dark-
That scare me,
It's the voices inside my head-
That terrify me.
The shadows that prey upon
The walls of my home-
Are nothing compared to
The shadows that live among
The deepest recesses of my soul.
So no-
I'm not afraid of a haunted house,
Or a ghost.
I'm afraid of myself.
**And you should be too.

Come one!
Come all!
Come have the time of your life!
The Modern Human Zoo presents:
A Creature of the Night!

Watch him angrily pace his cage by day.
Frustrated and oppressed as he's forced to earn a wage.
But at night, my friends, that's when he really comes alive;
(Midnight showing tickets cost at least twice the price.)
Feast your eyes on this beast's desires.
His rapidly unwinding mind.
His constant need for things unfathomable.
Constantly seeking the undefined - inevitably denied every time!
Stopping at nothing to find but one thing that satisfies.
Nothing ever satisfies!

Come see our finest display to date.
The pride and joy of our collection.
Our latest and greatest prize!

Feed me. FEED ME!

Ashes To Ashes

Ashes To Ashes

Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
today's people are angry
and its for violence they lust
blood being spilled
on earths very crust
with a system that's deafened
and no longer just

Is it too late
to change how men think
I hate that we're standing
this close to the brink
I can't put the blame
on the whiskey they drink
when it's the attitudes they're taught
that really does stink

Filled up with hate
riddled with fear
for that which is different
approaching too near
and they don't see the problem
that's one thing that's clear
seen in their favorite activity
their refusal to hear

Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
badges now tarnished
as if covered with rust
weren't these the people
we were taught to trust
why must the good shake their heads
in utter disgust
