Any One Child (EXPLICIT)
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
Let's not try to save nirvana
It would't make sense to us son
Why would we try to stop the killing
When it's so much ******* fun

And who can blame any one child
Who witnessed twins-a-falling done
Then saw the world's second greatest leader
Shoot his good friend with a gun

Hey that's a human that's not mutton
You call that getting th-things done
Yes the news is also watched by children
That you have only taught a ton

Get that gun off of me now
And stop teaching kids insanity
Have not you learned by now
They only do what they see on T.V.

And look at t.v. greed taking monies
Destroying higher-er learning
Showing games that support violence
**** and anarchy

but us
We can't try to save nirvana
It wouldn't make sense to us son
Why would one try to stop the killing
When it's so much ******* fun
When it's so much ******* fun

The End Is Near
David Ehrgott Sep 2015
You can not breathe the air in New York City
Everybody move away from there
The air will **** you even if you're near there
So die or ****** move away from there

All the tourists, they keep coming and
the overcrowded airports keep polluting
And the trucks and all the cars and buses
Now the air is deadly;Keep on smoking (idiots)

We thought this city was the greatest
It only goes to show just how much we know
Maybe someday we will save the planet
Instead of spending on the oil and the tolls

This city looks so pretty in the moonlight
too bad it ends our lives;the misery
Hope one day you all will see the daylight
Till then I'm moving far, like overseas
  

On Sunday, eighty thousand go to Jersey
Where the pig farms used to really foul the air
A billion dollars spent [on] NFL football
Too bad, you breathe, you die, the way it is
  

You can not breathe the air in New York City
Everybody move away from there
The air will **** you even if you're near there
So die or ****** move away from there
Die or ****** move away from there
Don't stay just get the hell out of there!

I love your yellow hair
The scent [of it] is in the air
I love your yellow rose
I put it to my nose

You're a rainbow after rain
I'm not gonna say your name
Love your sister just the same
Lonliness's such a pain

rain, rainbow, shine
rain, rainbow, shine

Love to stick to you like glue
Not much more to it my loo
Lips that kisst me true & true
Little lover I love you

rain, rainbow, shine

I just love your yellow hair
And the scent of it in [the] air
And I love your yellow rose
Gonna put you to my nose

Breathe deep, relax

Purple Moon
David Ehrgott Jan 2016
This is the story of Jennifer Rune
Thought she could carry a tune
Sang for a dollar, a dance, or a light
Down at the old Purple Moon
  
Handing her flowers and pushing his mite
Dapper man, Harry D. Sykes
He clowned around with her, dancing all night
Under the colorful lights
  
Saturday night they would line up the block
Waiting to dance, with delight
All the king's horses, with all of their gear
Wanting the queen of the night
  
Enter a girl at the old Purple Moon
Butter Jane Mary Moonlight
You'll never hear her name mentioned again
Look for it, don't look for it twice
  
One night a girl with a rose at the Moon
Promised ol' Harry a flight
Spinning in air while the room settled in
Floating with eyes upon eyes
  
Lifting her gently, they floated in air
Forever being in glide
Never not knowing they both were the one
For each other, for life  
  
Jennifer Rune cut a tooth at The Moon
What comes around went around twice
She's growing old at the old Purple Moon
Harry and Mary are tied
  
You too, can come to the old Purple Moon
It's down on Prospect, near Vine
Open 'til two o'clock during the week
Three o'clock Saturday night

Sat in a corner

Mixed him in with his curds and whey
And enjoyed the extra protein

Good guy, bad guy, saint or sa-tan
This world leaves a question
Since when it began
Marauders, kings make them of many a man
To plunder and pilfer all that they can
We call them heroes, they destroy land
We give them a medal, they cut off our hands
A little boy grows up and kills his friend
We call him M word, world leaders they can
And they they lead us to shutter our plans
When their shroff becomes useless
With blood on his hands
It's a cold hearted story I can't understand
Why we let them do this
to us and our friends
Now, let's get some shut-eye
You sleep while they band
Stop thinking! Just feel safe
Because you can

GROWL!
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
The ram on the edge
of the mountain watches the fall
in Colorado.

Brown leaves clog the spring
water in the vale below,
winter beckoning.

He charges then kicks
me in the chins as I fall
he growls at me.  GROWL!

As I arise fast
enough to scurry off of
his territory.

I leave nature where
it out to be, by itself
where nature belongs.

Tomorrow, fate might find me
Tomorrow, I could live in bed
Tomorrow, I might find my true love
Or regret all that I've said
\Yesterday, when I was looser
Yesterday, knew why I wept
Yesterday, so cold and lonely
Oh! I'm glad it's finally spent
\Today is now, and when it finds me
Hopefully, I'll be with you
Today is now, and never lonely
Now that I am beside you

The archaic boys at Rocco's

Baby Food For Thought
David Ehrgott Feb 2017
I was having a conversation with the Gerber baby the other day. You know, the one on the jars. Interestingly enough, he simply would not stop giggling. You know and here I am trying to get an answer out of him. But, he would not budge. "What's so funny, baby?" I inquired. {giggles, giggling and more giggles.} Well! What is it? He's not talking. Maybe it has something to do with the peas and carrots or the applesauce. I just could not understand his incoherent dribbling. I guess the joke is on me. I just hope he doesn't make me wear any of it. Oh boy! is he a happy camper.

Eleven pegs for just six strings
Its one half feels deserted

It's old and tarnished
Nicked and dinged
Worn frets
No shine
No gleam

But, through the years
has gleaned all that
I felt
The laughs
The tears
Truths, lies, and fears

It has a name
a solo in its own
Right to stand
So tall and strong
Behold!
It looks so

There is nothing I can do

So far away from

So far away from her

There there my new found friend

I have prayed for your safety
I have prayed to Yahweh
I have prayed to Abraham
I have prayed to Jonah

I pray to them all that God
will save you

It is all I can do
So all I do is
Pray

All I Need Is She
David Ehrgott Dec 2014
She looked at me and told me
she said "Your eyes are blue"
but, she really didn't have to tell me that

I looked at her and saw her eyes
They were blue and true
I just try to smile and look back

"Does something got your tounge?" she asks
Fat I sat there with panic attack

Think she was waiting for an "I'm Sorry"
But I don't ever want to tell her that

So I say "Hello"

"Hello?"  she comes back with "What
does THAT mean?"  We've already been
introduced to each other"

"I'm not playing these games" said so
demanding  I just love the way her
hair plays when she's dancing

Then she tells me I'm handsome
and all about the love
Plenty of it waiting for me
All I got to do is join up with these thugs
and we'll have all the money
that we need

but all I need is she

Walk down third ave, live and
you'll survive it.  Total insanity
Saw her one time and never could fight it
Especially when she's wearing her paint-on jeans

That's when I need she
That's when I need she

I told her "Your eyes are blue"
She said "You're just stupid"
I bet that dress is happy, how it hugs her
I wish hard that I could

She says "Davey get a clue
You know you're not getting younger
If there's something you can do
Do it now or I'll go wander

I told her all I need is she
All I need is she
And she is all I need

Lucky numbers, there are many floating in my head
I'm so lucky I am finally sharing all my bed
with the best friend I ever had

All I need is she
All I need is she
And she is all I need

There's a mother with babies
Whose diapers are smeared
They catch hell for crying

There's an old man who's downtown
He brown-bags his beer
There's a rich girl

Never dreamed she'd be here

Just selling disease

Settle This Debt
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
I spent my childhood in the nineteen sixties
Watching Walter CRONKITE
Warning Adults to
not let their children watch tonight's graphic
footage of the Vietnam War

It was quite disturbing
To this day
I can not erase the image
of that man on his knees
being shot in the head
execution style
in the street

And the other footage
of the reporters
on the front lines

Before man walked on the moon
Supposedly

Before I was ten

There should be a class action lawsuit for
EVERYONE Who was shown that footage
No one should have had to see that

But ezra pound said it best
War is made to create debt

Well, Let's take legal action now
to settle that debt

But, who do you sue?
Not Walter.  He tried to warn us.
The media?
The country?
The idiot who started the whole thing?
The t. v. station or network?
Who do you sue?

Is it a debt that could ever be' settled?

How do you correct the wrong?
How do you settle this debt?

For if there were no debt
There would be no banks

Why would one have to borrow
If he didn't owe

You owe everyone in this country
Fifty years and over
PLUS INTEREST

For causing undue stress

i've got to do it quickly
and i chose her
but it's been over two months
and i'm not sure that she's even there
if she is
she most likely has a guy living there
with her
i don't need a confrontation
i don't need any more pain
not this century
i cave her four chances last century
so i really don't need it
i love this witch that torments me
it' like a marriage without being married
in today's world
most couples cheat on their spouses
how can i expect her not to do the same
i'm sure she will
why the wait
my legs cracked
my arm is lame
my appendix has a hole in it
spewing blood and ****
behind my left nut
and my heart valve is dead
ha! my heart is dead
what irony
life's little left handed money wrench
my heart is dead

Dear Gov. Chris Christie,

  Years ago, when the citizens of the state of New Jersey voted to
approved medicinal cannabis.  You stated that you weren't quite sure
you should allow this because of children.  And the treatment of curing children's cancers were then delayed, for about two years.  Just this Monday, you passed on signing a bill that would increase the age of tobacco use to the age of 21.  Were you not thinking of the safety and health concerns of the children then?  So, what you're saying is:  Hey kids!  If you want to catch cancer and die young then that is okay
because it is LEGAL.  But, if you want a natural remedy to cure your cancer.. well, you fill in the blank.  So, do you you really care about the health concerns of children?  Do you Governor Christie?  Do you?

Awaiting your prompt reply,


The Poet

What?
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
Eight years ago in the homeless shelter a loud beep went off in my ear.  It was then that I remembered the time in 1983 that that mob f-word [expletive] slammed a cork ***** in my right ear, twisted it, then ripped out my head guts through my ear.

  Living through the pain, I enjoyed the silence.  Strumming my guitar.  Feeling the vibrations of the neighbors on the floor below me.  The occasional mob cop f-word [expletive] kicking in my door.  Then, silently mouthing nonsense to me as to why I should keep the noise down.  I wish you were there to see the dumbfoundedness when they realised I could not hear them.  But, mostly I would watch the krackles fly, wonderlously sailing.  Perfectly, and without err and without that [idol] awful chatter that drove my girlfriend from the Bronx to move out because (get this) she didn't want to live in a jungle.

  Again my train jumps the tracks.  I'm so sorry, and I do feel the pain of punishment forty-one years after my father taught me how to behave.  Maybe I'll just jump off the train and into a taxi.

Yes, this is much better, now getting back to the story.  The government (Social Security Administration) let me be free of sound for about six months until they figured if they swung for the surgery, they wouldn't have to pay me benefits.  And, when a Lodi mob cop **** shot me because I couldn't hear him yell stop.  I got a lot of money for that.  That is when the government stepped in to rebuild my ear.  I told them no but, they dragged me onto surgery against my will anyway.  Laughing all the while.

  Later I find out that the CIA put a tracer (sender/receiver) in along with a plastic/metal ear drum or whatever part it's called.  Taxi Stop!  40 Dollars!  no tip.

  So, two years ago like I said.  I'm in the homeless shelter and this thing goes off BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEP.  And people are punching me and beating me and telling me to shut up.  And, I'm immobilized because when you have a titanium alloy amplifier in you it hurts your ears even if they are made out of plastic.  And this thing goes on for like SIXTEEN HOURS and I want to reach in and pull it out but, I can't and I scream help and start kicking back until the police come.  But, the thing is still beeping.

  The next day and this is the part that really hurts.  The next day, this slunt that stole my virginity when I was thirteen is there and she still has the thing on in front of all the police and everything and I tell the police DO NOT HELP THAT WOMAN.  She has been blackmailing me for 36 years because I will not have her.  She had me ***** and photographed it and posted photos of this **** everywhere.

  Billboards, grocery stores, places of employment, Yankee Stadium, Florida, the world.  Stop helping this ******!  She should be in jail or the very least5 a ****** ward where they could at least try to help her.

  I have a son and daughter from a previous marriage.  Me, I'm used to being abused.  My family started it when I was six months old.  But, my children really don't have to put up with this garbage because some ***** can't get over me after I rejected her THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS AGO.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  I have a kid who believes this ***** and I have to tell him it's not true and explain what demonic possession is and he says sure dad.  But, then goes ahead and listens to his mother anyway.

He's a good boy.

Thirty-five years to find the fifty
Thirty-five years to find just fifty
Thirty-five years to find those fifty
What did our government due
  
Thirty-five years to find the fifty
Do the math, it's just plain silly
Thirty-five years to find the fifty
Give the government its due
  
You can't feel anymore.  Safer?
You can't feel anymore.  Safer?
You can't feel anymore.  Safer?
When government gets us *******
  
They need a lot more time now
They need a lot more time now
Three point seven million years
To catch the other bad guys
  
They sit in their disguises
In a robe on courtroom benches
With their lawyer clad-ed henchmen
They sit in their disguises
  
Can you call up the police now?
Can you call up the police now?
The Chief is sitting quietly
Protecting family ties
  
Anybody out there?  Save us!
Anybody out there?  Save us!
Save our country, save our babies
Give us mob free lives
  
Forty-seven years of mobster torment
Forty-seven years of mobster torment
Fifty years I've no enjoyment
I may as well just die

CRAZY
David Ehrgott Dec 2014
Little red robin
           in the hood
Bang Bang
            Shot him down
            Shot him down for good

Little little angel now
              doing what he should
Crazy!  Ain't we crazy now
              with vigilante justice

I was born in a town
In the U.S. of A.
I grew up in this town
Thought I could stay
  
Well I could, But I can't
Seems the times, they have changed
Can someone direct me
Towards english again
  
On the billboards I read
Everything's in Spanish
Bikini clad ladies
Men looking so mannish
  
I'm not on vacation
in Argentina
Though, some would think that
If they checked out the scenery
  
Excuse me Dear President
I don't mean to pry
But, ten million more what?
Who, when, how and why?
  
This changing of nation
Just has to stop
Can we open are eyes now
or are we on ***?
  
They talk about borders
in California
Then how is this happening
Here in New Jersey
  
I am not a hater
But, what the patader
Is happening here
In the country I love dear
  
I would like to move
Where the words are in English
Translations not needed
Too much of a request?
