She lights up a joint as the room goes cold,
Free from distress her mind can unfold,
Lay back into sleep and dream her sweet dreams,
For without her release her nightmares redeem,
They forgive and forget and tell her to smile,
But trapped inside her mind are grief and denial,
Loving herself is harder than hell,
But she puts on a show so it's harder to tell,
But i read the truth that dwells in her eyes,
She lights up a joint free from all ties.

I hang on to the tears,
I never let them fall,
I cling to all the fears,
Won’t fall under their thrall,
I stay composed and strong,
Though my recall flashes,
You’ve gone where you belong,
Like ashes to ashes.

Evil air gathers around my lungs,
The pressure of life upon my back,
A ten ton weight around my head,
The thoughts of longing and desperation,
Force me further to isolation,
Scared of the creator and of his creation.

Hard boiled,
Shell sturdy and strong,
Painted pattern filled pictures,
Roll on down,
Roll on down,
Down the hill to the bottom,
Cracking and breaking,
Laughing and smiling,
Cruelty or pleasure?
Easter of enjoyment,
Roll those eggs,
Keep on rolling,
Keep on rolling.

I DEDICATE THIS POEM TO ALL VICTIMS OF ALL THE WARS AROUND THE WORLD

Have you seen the stain that the tear left upon his cheek?
It's crimson like the blood his father bled,
And the tear will keep on falling like the agony in his head.

Have you heard the cry from the mouth of a girl in pain?
It's as shrill as the screams of dying men,
And the cry will keep on coming like all the soldiers from their den.

Have you felt the chill upon a new born baby's skin?
It's frozen like the memory of sin,
And the chill will remain forever like the marks of where we've been.

Have you smelt the dying flower that danced on the grain?
It's rotten like the marching off to war,
And the smell will remain forever in the marrow of my core.

Have you tasted raindrops falling on the young boys grave?
It's sour like the meaning of the cause,
And the taste will last eternally shadowed by shallow applause.

So come and see the death we taste,
So come and see it now,
So come and see the life we take,
So come and see it now.
