Crack The Code For Freedom
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
I murdered off the vigilante poet again
In a pre-year valentine
I wanted one more mother of a time
Going to the greatest highway band in town
  
We're gonna crack the code for freedom
Figure out how peace can stay
Even change the bell if need be
or even die for peace or change
  
An another war on this world started today
And we got prods on planet mars
Little Dipper ain't built yet
But I doubt that it will not
  
When we crack the code for freedom
Figure out how peace can stay
And pass it out to all the people
That need it more than us today
  
When we crack the code for freedom
Figure out how peace can stay
Even change the bell if need be
or even die for peace or change...

Rockin' My World
David Ehrgott Apr 2016
I went back home last Tuesday
The wife and the kid were gone
All I got was a note saying
"See ya later"
I went up to the corner store
To find myself a rock n' roll band
But, all I got was a drunk
And a kick in the ***
  
Somebody's rockin' my world
Uptown, down and around now
Somebody's rockin' my world
Somebody's rockin' my world
C'mon, help me straighten it out now
Somebody's rockin' my world
  
My friend Joey got an old guitar
Let me tell you fella
He can take it far
But, what he got
It ain't up for grabbing  
Tracked him down
On a Saturday night
Let me tell you
He was outta sight
He couldn't find no more this evening  
  
Somebody's rockin' my world
Uptown, down and around now
Somebody's rockin' my world
Somebody's rockin' my world
C'mon, help me straighten it out now
Somebody's rockin' my world
  
My friend Jimmy got an old machine
Let me tell you
It's a clean machine
But, he just rides the city
Heh, heh
Packed him down
With the vitamin e,
Protein,  and the misery
But, he ain't trying to
Lose his alles
  
Somebody's rockin' my world
Uptown, down and around now
Somebody's rockin' my world
Somebody's rockin' my world
C'mon, help me straighten it out now
Somebody's rockin' my world

A Lot More Rock
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
It's okay
It's not that bad
The way you're thinking
Baby, are you mad?
  
You've been on slow down
Well, here's the low down
Here's your hug and your kiss
And I'm biting you behind your ear
  
Yeah, there's a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
Yeah, you'll never stop this bus
The one that you're calling old
  
You always figured
The way you were living
You wouldn't last long
But, that is all long gone
  
Well, we cut down the coffee
And cut out the drinking
Stomped out our smoking
I guess that we're thinking
  
That, there is a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
And if it's gotten hot
Too bad, for yours is so cold
  
Yeah, there's a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
Yeah, you'll never stop this bus
The one that you're calling old
  
Oh yeah, there is a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
And if it has gotten hot
Too bad, for yours is so cold

How's your mother
Down in Melbourne
Doing after these few years
Well, I hope she doesn't mind
That I might bide
And I hope she digs this scene
As we go on our way
On our way
  
How's your mother in Deltona
Doing with the work she does
Well, you know I don't remember
How you spent the days
But, you sure do know how
in many other ways
And I feel stupid
Yes, I do
  
How's your mother in West Maywood
Doing after all these years
Well, you know it a cold hard spring
And we're losing everything
And you know it's a cold hard spring
Don't you know it's a cold hard spring
A cold hard spring
  
How's you're baby in Altoona
Been to Stuttgart or to sea?
But, you know it don't matter why
When you're eating apple pie
And it don't matter why
When you're eating apple pie

How's you're mother doing

Clarification
David Ehrgott May 2016
About a month ago I had asked politicians to take the power
of cannabis sales out of the hands of criminals. Now, all of a
sudden, I am taken for some drugged-up *** smoking  loser
who only wants the whole world to be ****** on ***. People, I
can assure you that nothing is more further from the truth. But,
that is what politicians do. Tell lies and distort the truth. The facts
remain. All I want is for criminals to have less power. And the only
way to make that happen is to have all *** sales be government-
controlled, which would create a surplus of dollars for everyone.
That is all I am asking. For more power to the government. And less power to criminals. If this is not clear to you by now then, see
a doctor right away and get the mental help you so desperately need.

Third Grade Rules
David Ehrgott May 2016
Third grade rules. They sound simple and really, one does not
have to be a brainiac in order to understand them. Although one learns them in the third grade, they remain valid though the rest of one's life.

Rule#1:  Making something you want yours.
In order to make something you want yours, simply spit all over it. Trust me, no one else will want it. And it will be yours for the rest of your existence.  

Rule#2:  Making someone it.
In order to make someone it, simply take your index finger and poke the person you want to be it. Then say "You're it". Then, they will be it.

To do it with someone you want to be yours. First, spit all over them. Then make them it. Then you can do it with the one who is yours. Do you see now how simple life can be just by applying the rules of the third grade. I hope I have helped clarify things for the better of everyone. There is no need to thank me and have a great summer.

The Wife
David Ehrgott Jan 2015
There's a blind man at The Garden
and he's dancing to The Dead
He hasn't any worries
Bouncing in or on his head

His wife pulled out his eyeballs
so he'd never look again
At anybody else but her
Posession, not his friend

His father blames the white folk
for all the damage to his kin
Hey listen!  Twas the wife, folk
not the color of her skin

Then she pops in eyeballs from the Mr. Potato Head Game
into his sockets
Just to play with everybody's head
She loves him

BEASTS
David Ehrgott Apr 2016
A Cop Murdered an innocent man yesterday on Summit Ave.
no charges were filed

Hey fella did you hear?

what's that

Construction companies are creating housing
for 15,000 new residents in Hackensack, NJ

for who?

Chris Christie's mob buddies.

Chris Christie doesn't have any mob buddies. He doesn't
have any buddies at all. He just sits there on his fat ***
eating every ding **** in site.

Hey, the press said he lowered unemployment by seven per cent.

Don't believe the press.  The reason unemployment is so low is that the
seven per cent who Were on unemployment are now considered no
longer employable. And were moved off the list to social security.
Resulting in the change.

Hey, aren't the cops there crim.

Shhh, they're trying to get people to move here.

Have they tested the water yet.

They don't have to. Water is something you purchase off the shelf.

Where?

HERE!

in hackensack

Not in Newark Bay where they haven't even looked yet.
In 1970 deadly levels of thorium were found in and around Hackensack, NJ
And you thought Flint, MI was bad. After a 40 year cleanup effort, they are still finding it in a town where the police rob the dying and disabled for kicks.

Love For Altea
David Ehrgott Jun 2016
It could have been in any cove
In any sleepy desert oasis
Mine was down from the left
of the Put-put course
the one with
the prettiest girl in spain

For three days after the first burn
I stayed inside the villa
Then dared the solar power
to further fry my body

I lay in the mediteranean
with so heavy a salt content
floating about aimlessly
until it bumped me

As I awaken from my sun slumber
The smile and the blood thirsty look take me in its eye
and I freeze cold for three
quarters of a second.  Before punching
it's nose
and then in its eye
and again in its brain
Giving the blood thirsty beast the education he requires
to satisfy my hunger
I drag him to the pebble beach
and beat his brain repeatedly
with a succession of right crosses
then plead

Charlie Kitchell take my picture
Kathy Kitchell take my picture
Michael Meadows take my picture

Five Foot TEN INCH SHARK
Caught by six foot twenty-three
year old G.I.

This calls for a celebration
First with laughter
Then with liquor
Then with feast of prey
and more liquor

We ate for a week
and with barcardi at a dollar a gallon
puked to our hearts content

Not in Alliconte
with its industry
Not in Benidorm
with its way too many brits

Altea
the so quiet
its mob eerie quiet
the most relaxing place I've ever been

Where my high powered zoom lens
took many **** photos of
Beautiful women

Where we de-wasped the bushes
by the pool at the rented villa

and I performed the most daring
feat of my life
ending a shark's
with my bare hands

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.

Peter Boyle was a ***** old thief
And he took me for three million
Just before he died he came to visit me
Just to brag about it
He said "Hey DaveE Ha Ha Ha
I took you for a sucker.
No, just kidding!
You're my only friend
Since John Lennon died"
Then I remembered times with Peter and John
And how we did brainstorming
That one time
Just kicking back
And talking about things
And smoking each other's packs of cigarettes
And laughing
  
Just last winter I saw her face
The girl with the golden tan
Hope I see that woman again
Working for the pizza man

and my thoughts were not sane

Love To Go
David Ehrgott Aug 2015
There was a love like no other love
There was a love
And there it was
Just that' one love, no other love
No other love can cure this pain of love
There was a love
There was a love
And now a void, a void of love
Inside a vacuum, pain of said void
Seduces me into sadness
Can't see the light that I once had

She gave me love, She gave me love
She gave me love to go
She gave me love, She gave me love
She gave me love to go

Looked into her eyes, to my surprise
Her light, it healed me
Could feel the healing power of her eyes
That healed me
Once had fears;all disappeared
Was the love in the light of her eyes
And now I feel just like the man on the mountain
On the mountain that fell down in New Hampshire
  

She gave me love, the purest love
She gave me love
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go
  
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go
  

Open the door and take a seat
She'll take your order
She'll write it down
You won't come down
You'll see her shine
On any highway, in any america
See her going
Bagging up love, letting it leave
Leave me


  
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go


  
She'll give you love, she'll give you love
She'll give you love
She'll give you love, she'll give you love
She'll give you love to go

There was magic in the air
I can't believe it
Seems like yesterday
You wouldn't believe it
The way they wailed away
Bouncing and shaking their bones
And they were dancing
Singing and clapping and dancing
And dancing away
  
She was steaming
I licked her ear
It was awesome
Screaming in the air
Everywhere
The gang was there
Kicking, Puffing
And banging there
She left smoking

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

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

all alone

A Much Needed Tidier Place
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
If I tore apart
What was art
And made it real
Not to conceal
My thoughts and aspirations
Insinuations
Inoculations
My trials and tribulations
Meaning nothing
No education
No learning experience
Forced into labor
Tormented to dance
One supplication
Give a little back of what you took
I wasn't asking for all
Just a sum
Less than you took from me
And I begged, and I pleaded, and you ignored
  
Well, yesterday you had your chance
You could have been a man
Instead you choose ignorance
*** 'em, *** 'em, *** 'em
*** 'em, *** 'em, *** 'em
Funny language you use
Now I get the name
And why people marry for revenge
  
Well, there's a fat cat at
Ninety fourth and
Sea Pea Double You
And their doorman is my doormat
And he stains
And he stinks of *** fat
And the bloodstains on your door
Will they silence your high *****
As she bleeds in the high roar
Of the flaming fire down below
Across the Styx
  
Given every chance I know
But, the fat cat could not let go
Now his friends they talk real low
'bout the crazy guy named joe
How he sits with his cold toes
In a lonely old jail cell
And the fat cat and his kitty
Had a chance, now it's o'er
And the worms feast as they bore
In to fat cat and his kitty
  
Don't you look at me as bad
For I know what you did was sad
And If I give your girl a name
I owe her that and much more pain
Roll over now or
Turn around
You haven't ears to
Hear this
Sound
David Ehrgott Jul 2016
Every day my welts bleed
Like the day I was suspended
In the fourth grade
For disrupting the learning
Process of the other children
  
No child should be sent home for that
No child should be sent home after that
No child should be sent home back to that
No child should know this pain
  
Mother said I was faking it
  
I try to sleep at night
Lying there
My welts still bleeding

She sits there
Silently
Death does

Just like death would
Silently
Standing tall
the vulture
eyes its prey

While the bull-moose forage for scraps from the n.c.o. club
And aesbestos is passed out to the unsuspecting at the cbpo
David Ehrgott Dec 2014
I thought that I could even things
up with Debbie
and **** HER in the ***

But, all she dished-out was
her piles hole

Just a ****** ******* mess

Bye Bye Angel
David Ehrgott Jul 2016
I hate your guts
I never ever loved you
I couldn't stand you stalking me
on my morning run

You're a very bad neighbor
But, I'll never need a gun
Don't need someone so serious
Can't we just have fun

and I say

Bye Bye Angel
Let my silence run
So much fun to be with you
When we were very young

tonight I'll

Cry Cry Angel
For the loss of one
True friend to the very end
If it could be undone

I'd eat your cancer
make it go away
shut the door on that

Too late for wishful thinking now
She never will come back
The brightest spot of the seventies
Is gone forever, jack

so I say

Bye Bye Angel
I'll see you in the sky
When driving up the PCH
I'll look for rainbow smiles

and I say

Bye Bye Angel
I liked that final kiss
It's not the gift that one would wish
But I think I get the gist

Bye Bye Angel
I hope to see you soon
Better to be dead than here
Just wishing on the moon

A Sweet Old Lady
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
******* Grandma
I never liked her
Making me shoot her up
Midday
Right there
In her foot
Into a vein

"Sugar is a *****" she said
"Watch it
Don't eat a lot of it
You control your sugar
Insulin controls mine "
She smiled  

Herself into a coma

I've got a world wide plan
I'm gonna lend a hand
I've got to find a band
I'm gonna make a stand
  
Gonna get all the people
to shake each other's hand
Gonna smile at a hater
Try to make him understand
  
Feel the power of the universe
Sing the Sunday verse
Feel the power of the universe
Sing the Sunday verse
  
We are all one power
And that power lives and breathes
We are all one power
We can all live here with ease
  
Get the power of the universe
Sing the Sunday verse
Get the power of the universe
Feed the leader's purse
  
Give to get more; really works
One power; one purse
Give to get more; really works
One power; one purse
  
Praise the power of the universe
Heal the hater's hurt
Praise the power of the universe
Heal the hater's hurt
  
It's a world wide plan
You've got to lend a hand
We're now all in one band
Let us try to understand

David Ehrgott Mar 2016
She was smoking
At the Capitol
I saw her picture
In the telephone [booth]
Smoke was flying
In the air
You should have seen her
She was there
It was a rock show
And it was bold
Just like a rock show
At the Capitol
Smoking weasels
Rocking on
She had me teasing
She put it on
  
Rock show at the Capitol
That was where to go-go-go
Get your girl and spend your dough
There's a rock show at the Capitol
  
She was smoking
In the men's room
At the Capitol
She was btchn'
She blew my mind
Then she blew me away
  
And you wouldn't believe
They tore that building down
I can't even find that town, now!
But, believe it
There was magic in the air
I can't believe it
Seems like yesterday
You wouldn't believe it
The way they wailed away
Bouncing and shaking their bones
And they were dancing
Singing and clapping and dancing
And dancing away
  
She was steaming
I licked her ear
It was awesome
Screaming in the air
Everywhere
The gang was there
Kicking, Puffing
And banging there
She left smoking
At the Capitol

Rolling Ball Of Fire
David Ehrgott Dec 2015
I was awakened on an igloo floating away
in the middle of the night
We had to pack it up and head
north to find more ice
in the middle of the night
Well we finally found more ice
and cut 'em out again just right
And then we built our little ice house
so that we could have a sleep
along a winter's cold long night
  
We're on a rolling ball of fire
that eventually is gonna burn out
Someday a memory somewhere
on an ash that's just floating about
It makes it interesting to try and understand
If there ever was a one perfect plan
Because there ain't nobody perfect
that's for certain
except maybe that old uncle sam
  
We're on a rolling ball of fire
that generates its old-tyme
'Lectricity
There ain't nothin' we can't figure out
'cept senseless killing
****** for oil and greed
And we're almost to the teens
we'll be paying more
than we'd ever think
But in the end we're just a
rolling ball of fire
that's turning into ice once more again

The Leader Wolf
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
The babysitter sat me outside
to mop her kitchen floor
It was at the age of only five
That I would learn much more

The leader of the wolf pack then
not far from where we lived
began a true and lasting friendship
He was my only friend

I don't know how he learnt to speak
my language or knew when
to warn me all about the dangers
coming to me then

He nudge my face with his cold nose
and slobbered it a bit
He knew of every single woe
sometimes would have fit

Told tales of politician's friends
Who'd stab me and again
of Hollywood celebrities
who'd try to cause my end

And other famous wannabes
and lowlife ***** dirt
that dress in fine and fancy suits
but **** then steal your boots

He told me of my evil twin
who sent me to the pen
And took away my hard earned pay
and every dime I stored away

He offered to cut short my life
to avoid all of the pain
and ease me to a resting place
one might call heaven

His plan was shortened by a drunk
Who used Lord's name in vain
Put a bullet in his head
My one and only friend

A Kind Song
David Ehrgott Mar 2016
We used to sing a kind song
The melody rang true
Not like what you hear today
So many fell like you
  
This used to be a kind town
Where people shake your hand
You didn't have to worry
Of fire from a can
  
It's kind of like a sad song
Where people die from love
Or you can take a bite of this
Oh! No, you can't
Oh! No, you can't
  
We're trapped like rats in cities
Don't go outside to breathe
The politicians make it harder
And we just stand at ease
Or wind up Kennedys
  
We used to sing a kind song
We used to be a kind town
We used to sing a love song
What happens now?

I'm Sorry
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
I'm sorry to everyone
Who reads of my smithings
Poetry should not
Be grotesque or be gritty
  
It should be filled with love
And of words that are pretty
And laughter or other
Kind words or the silly
  
But never should anyone
Read of my hurt
The pain and the suffering
Or of my bleeding shirt
  
I'm sorry but I
Still have to tell you the truth
For hiding it
Just makes it uglier too
  
The butterflies try
To make it go away
But ugly is ugly
I'm sorry today

That young cashier brought back a memory today
and when she saw it in my eyes, she shuddered, slightly,
then looked away
It was a quarter century ago today, that love, so dear, drove far away
I know I'm not alone
where people bring you down
but, is this the devil's work now
or just another clown
I wanted dream forever
still hurts sometimes today
and I still dream forever
for someone who will stay
I had a offer last November
for another paper weight
I should have had accepted
when I'm here so desperate
she's everything I had
when I was young and in my teens
she's everything I gave away
to be better than I seem
she promised me she'd be good to me
and never let me catch her cheating
she said she'd always know my needs
even when she's on her knees
she said that she would marry me
but, I don't like the way she makes tea money
she promised me she'd be good for me
but, I don't want her making tea money

Little Bo Peep's sheep were never lost
They were hiding from her

She had a flatulence problem
Which was out of control
It was Baaaaaaaaaa
