A little bit bent
and a whole lot of strange
Started off half-backwards
ain't no way they gonna' change

Stupid is as stupid keeps doing
Practiced in the art
to just keep losing

Way worse than worthless
they just never quite know
Going off in all directions
never quite get exactly
which way they need to go

Schizey in thinking
Sketchy in every way
Maybe they'll get better
what else can you say.

I'm so alive now
But surely not forever
So now I will live!

Guns go off
Helicopter flies
Sirens scream
Another one dies

Glancing glint
of the coldest steel
Final look
of a dieing eye
Sirens scream
Helicopter flies

High speed
Hot pursuit
Sirens scream
Helicopter flies
Chasing down
another freak

Screeching tires
Tangled metal
Sirens scream
Helicopter flies
No way to get
them out alive

Incalculable
Catastrophic
Human tragedy

The gun
The blade
The despicable
The slain

Sirens scream
We barely take notice
Helicopter flies
Just more noise.

A near and present
future awaits

Contemplate

A near and present future.

If I believed
there were no God
I would tell you so

But I have seen wonders
and I have seen signs
Supernatural happenings
By the power of Love's
Devine design

Far beyond
the comprehension
of mine or any other
human mind

So some then are good
Some then have faith
Others live just
long enough to meet
an horrendous fate

A life story is told
As the life unfolds
Some lived for
themselves alone
Others lived for
The Higher Hope

Knowing each
thing is remembered
Everything is known

That exist there
God...

Who then is Love

Who both forever cares
and Who always knows.

God is...
The good and perfect
Spirit of Love.

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.'

-The Holy Bible (KJV)

I do not always seek symmetry.
My poetic form is not as important to me as the function.
Function before Form.
Form follows Function.

God Is not a racist
He loves each one
and all the same

The only difference being
He knows who's hearts
are His

He hears the furtive
plaintiff whisper
of those who
need a friend

The one whose heart
is truly broken
For the injustice
they know and feel

The smallest child
He hears their cry
and sends the help
they seek

And the oldest one
who has lost life's breath
knowing their final
moment is near

You're not of God
if your a racist
For He loves each
one and all the same

The only difference being
He knows who's heart
is His.

Cooler colored air
Autumn reaching from the sky
Yet no palm fronds fall.

Write until your
hand cramps
so you can no longer
hold the pen

Write until the ink runs dry
and you have no more refills

Write if you have to beg paper
maybe then to beg
a little bit more

Write until you get it all down
Then revise re-write re-edit
to get it all done again

Write until you hear
the words you wrote
spoken by someone
who maybe might care

Write by day by night
By shadows and
by candlelight

Never give up
on the will
and the way

Never give up
Your right...

to Write

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
