I'd feel like after the Alamo
Feel like only disaster
If ever your love
would ever go
there would be
nothing left after

You know the country
would mourn
They'd fly the Lone Star
at half-mast
I hoped that your love
would never go
Because my love it will last

When you take
a paycheck as a cowboy
in this new
post-modern world
You'll know the value
of a Yankee dollar bill
It's never worth the
sweat and the toil

When you are
this cowboys lady
in this God forsaken age
I hope that you'd never
have a single doubt
That the cowboy is worth
the price that you paid

You'll find me
there at the Alamo
There would be
only disaster
If ever your love
would ever go
there would be
nothing left after

You know the country
would mourn
They'd fly the Lone Star
at half mast
But I hoped that
you'd never go away
Because my love it will last

Time was and maybe
it'll soon be again
When a woman was proud
that her man was a Man

I'll stand by you 'cause
your my Texas Rose
But if you go
I'll join the boys
at the Alamo
'Cause it's the kinda'
battle I'd a chose

You'll find me
there at the Alamo
There would be
nothing left after
I feel like after the Alamo
Feel like only disaster

I hoped that your love
would never go
Because my love it will last

Because my love.....
it will last

-The Village Idiot
  (Stupid Is)

You've heard it said;
Stupid is as Stupid does
But really now
Stupid is as Stupid
keeps doing

Ignorant ways
and idiot thoughts
Act the fool 'cause
that's all you are

I'd tell you to
get up and go
but you already
got up and went

Another fools errand
for which you have
so foolishly been sent

The village idiot
The county fool
What is the problem
Didn't we send you
to school?

We've heard it said;
Stupid is as Stupid does
But really now
Stupid is as Stupid
always has.

Way beyond Moscow
where the people they live
The steppes and the forests
the shores and the streets

They sing the new songs
of a people now free
The tunes of great gratitude
for a place far away

That place where good people
they never would stop
Persistent and patient
they played all for one

Hardly a doubt
and forever a pledge
to share what they had
with those who had none

So when you lay down
and you have said
all your prayers
remember in Russia
the inconquerable brave-hearts
We America have won.

"It is good to have Russian friends."

-R.
(11.02.14)

Now that you are Men.

Seek the greater challenge
Walk the harder road
Choose the path less taken

Know the higher good
and seek ye first...God

Search for and know
the beautiful and the best
The better and the blessed

Wisdom and happiness

Shun the shadows
and those there cursed

Have a feel for the way
when all seems lost
Remember to Love
and love well
No matter the cost

Forever follow your destinies
everlasting forever star
Know and know well
Your Father cares
and watches from
both near and afar.

'When I was a child
I spake as a child
I understood as a child
I thought as a child

When I became a man
I put away childish things.'

Yes I will journey quite some
very long tortuous distance
just to be positively right there

Later in time I'm sure
I will travel many long
treacherous miles
to then most definently
be somewhere

Possibly shortly thereafter
I will most probably then
leave and you most certainly
will not know or
even really care

Maybe I will go
to a distant place
very afar so that
it is then surely
without doubt
absolutely elsewhere

Why when and where the Spirit
a warm pure breeze always
and once more again
and many times over before
me will beckon and then
me should send?

Truly I am most surely
not possible even
slightly ever aware

Am I sure I will know
when I in time
arrive that place
eventually...
once more again

That place the
promise of liberty
will find home
there to flourish
prosper and grow
quiet but strong
in a brisk but gentle    
prevailing wind

That place where
I finally am able to live
and breathe in peace
If I perhaps
be possibly capable
and might still can

A place that will
allow me simply
and only most hopefully
then maybe perchance
to freely stand
a Man.

A child was born
Her life was torn
away from Her
as She lay dreaming
far away

In that place
where children's smiles
can stop the wars
can stop the wars

Hear the wind
that lifts Her angel wings
and takes Her or'

To that place
of sunlit shores
Where wars no more
Where wars no more

The cross
the precious child
She bore
was not Her own
was not Her own

The cross was yours
The cross was yours alone

Mi Señor
Oh, my Lord
por favor
por amor
Please stop the wars
War no more

Por Dios y Amor
por los ninos
por amor
por favor
Please stop the wars
War No More

Dial the number
and I'm hesitating
Hope she's gone
as it starts to ringing
"Oh, it's you I thought
you had left me"
No I didn't want to
leave you far behind

C'mon C'mon you say
love me but just
for a moment
C'mon C'mon you say
love me then
leave me alone

Lady C'mon
Lady think back

Lady think back
to where we were
Lady think back
Lady C'mon
Lady think back
on our love

Overall it was
a celebration
though we had
our share of pain
Now I'm gone
and you say you
feel different
Don't you know
that I'm still the same

Walk away 'cause
I know that it's over
Walking on 'cause
I know she's gone
Thinking back on all
the times we
spent together
Thinking I'll be
walking on alone

C'mon C'mon
you say love me
but just for a moment
C'mon C'mon
you say love me
then leave me alone

Lady C'mon
Lady think back

Lady think back
on our love

There was nothing
before the War

There will be nothing
after the War

Except and until
there is another War

Accept the fact
All of our lives
there has been war

Cold Tepid Hot War

When there is no war
then there is nothing

There is no peace
after war

Only a time for
the strategic
and tactical
preparations
for the next
and the next
and another war

So then we seek
the banal nothingness
of peace

That we may restore
our ability to wage war
more effectively

once more
and again

In perpetuity.

As the cries of the captives
are left unanswered
So will the prayers
of the pious
be forever met
with silence

As the pleadings
of the warrior
abandoned forlorn
are met with indifference
So will the oblations
of pretensions
be met only with scorn

As the words of the prophet
that the famine soon
would be lifted
were met with
callous unbelief
So will those gatekeepers
be trampled
in the stampede
of the multitudes
who seek God's relief

For those who have ears
So let them care
For those who have none
Let their eyes in death
coldly and everlasting stare

For the words
of God's wisdom
are life to the dieing
They are surely for
the self-righteous
precious pearls
before swine

Mother ****** is warm
But her blisters
they painfully sear

Life is such
in terror America
The police state
of all that I fear

A schoolyard where
bully's rule is taught

And some sick ****** people
with pit-bull power to flaunt

Our peace
Is by the heel of the boot

A piece
of our leather clenched fist

Your rights
have no might
Whatsoever

When your name
We put it down
on our list

Mother ****** is warm
Yet coldly she icily sneers

I'm your terror America

The police state
in the nightmares
of your fears.

Proceeding onward with
inextrictable imputence
Thinking yourself greater
than the rest of these

Despising those whom
you deem as intolerant
of your vapid irreconcilable
so called tolerant views

Knowing the motive
with all intentions clear
Thinking yourself raised higher
with chasms between

Not to look below you
lest you see those
you contemptible fear
Eyes ahead straight forward
observing yet for you
truth is rarely still seen

Bourgeois in motive
Bolshevik in deed

Ripping asunder
with deviant delight
Wanton incessant abandon
to that most evil belief

The pilfering blasphemous
defilement throughout your
most insignificant life.

Blue, Blue, I'm so blue for you
Blue so Blue true blue for you

We shared Our life
within a place
of endless love
and wondrous grace
A vow of hearts
Our promise bound
that moment pure
forever found

Finding You

Shadows stole
Our moment pure
the sun arose and surely sure
All was lost when I lost you
I dreamed a dream
and saw you

Brand new

Blue, Blue, I'm true
blue for you
Blue so Blue, are you
true blue too

I searched the Earth
when all was new
Lost my life persuing you
Whispered prayers
to who knows who
Supposing all my prayers
were heard by you

We shared our love
We paid the cost
for those whose cause
was always lost
Angels sang
while they looked on
For crimes of these
Our love forever torn

All was lost
when I lost you
Dreamed a dream
and saw you new
Whispered prayers
to who knows who
Supposing all my prayers
were heard by you

Blue, Blue, I'm true
blue for you
Are you true blue too

I'm blue true blue
for true blue you

I'm blue true blue
for true blue you
