It's as easy as, 1, 2, 3. Understandable as A, B, C. Undesirable as, Don't Take Me. A simple ditty, So listen, Kiddie, There's no singing in the grave. No foot tapping, finger snapping, Lip smacking music where you're going; But don't be in a hurry to get going To a place where you're a gonner. You won't be chatting with a Brahma, Discussing laws with ancient Moses, There's no sitting Buddha posing, You ain't in blissful Nirvana. You'd be  in heaven in Havana. There aren't virgins waiting; No loaves and fishes baking; No bells ringing, No Mecca wailing, No roads paved with gold. I miss those stories I was sold. Whatever it is that ails you... Whatever it is that ails you... Whatever it is that ails you... Was it us who failed you? Stay a while, don't leave yet, You'll find nothing you expect, But you won't remember, And you won't forget.

Havana Is Heaven
What happens when I get the bottle open? When I'm strong enough to let it go? all the hopes and dreams I once had escape and I gain the knowledge to be free What happens when I get the bottle open? I stab the villain and not the innocent finally slaying my demons it's liberating can't you see? What happens when I get the bottle open? I'll finally see the truth maybe you will too be happy for me this is no set back What happens when the bottle finally opens? and all my dreams come true I'm laying on the beach listening as the crashing waves consume me so nicely What happens when the bottle's open? and there's no going back like Pandora's box of bottles and all that's left is to sink What happens if the bottle's already open? and I can't hide it anymore I'm sorry for wasting Everything but the bottle's been opened and I can't waste this not now there is no strength to close it.

The Bottle's Open
Jack and Jill went up the hill Tires, fast, pebbles flying into the night air, unaware of what's to come. To fetch a pail of Water Clear liquid, sizzling, burning as it rushes down the throat as if it were going out of style, hot as the poker that burns his insides and sears his thoughts. Thoughts that buzzed around his brain and stuck like knives in flesh. One Sip, Two Sip, Red Blood, Blue Veins. Just Pull the trigger. Jack fell down and broke his crown Sirens, one am, MY SON MY SON MY SON MY SON JACK And Jill came tumbling after. Up Jack got, and home did trot Blurry faces, a crowd, the cries, the silent sobs, the mourning, the miss you's, the goodbyes. As fast as he could caper Classmates. Too young. A loss. A tragedy. The boss up above was not enough to dissuade this young boy. Crossed the boarder, shooting range, gun in back, bottle in hand. To old Dame Dob, who patched his *** Wood. Dark wood, Red wood, Light wood, nails, ***** pound the hammer in BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM. Fates sealed, game over. With vinegar and brown paper Paper. A picture in the year book. A face, a name, another dead body. Crossed the boarder, shooting range, gun in back, bottle in hand. One Sip, Two Sip, Red Blood, Blue Veins, Stabbing thoughts, falling, break his crown, go up the hill, sit under the tree. smash the bottle. Just pull the trigger. Bang.

Jack and Jill
can see it now in a stuffy auditorium half of those students don’t give a **** it’s hotter than a crematorium and everyone just wants to go out to lunch i can see her now - the principal’s crying she can hardly get the words out nervous laughter and everyone’s trying whatever it is, to figure it out i can see me too, when she breaks the news “i regret to inform you” but i already knew grim curiosity, we’re all wondering who and the world liquifies when she says it’s you silence, something switches, day to night last night you were found dead, abandoned and i’m saying no god, it can’t be right cause he would have called me beforehand

i regret to inform you all
When she opened her  closet, There was Jamie, At the end of a rope. All three twisted as the face, With feet an inch from life. A brown and yellow drip Puddled the floor, Touching the toe of a worn sock.      If I can't live here, I'll die here. Was pinned near the heart. Stretching out her fingers, Working fast for the unattainable, Thinking speed and action Could change the outcome Of the hours old body, Hanging, Like a favorite suit In need of dry-cleaning.

Out from the Closet
Do not tell me Your best friend wouldn't be Gasping for air as she Hurls herself to the ground In agony and grief. Do not tell me Your classmates wouldn't stare At your empty seat Holding back tears Long after you're gone. Do not tell me Your teachers wouldn't give anything To read one more paper Or grade one more test So long as they can have you back. Do not tell me Your brother wouldn't Walk past your closed door and Be yelled at one more time For one more stupid problem. Do not tell me that your father wouldn't wish That he could hold his baby Instead of watching them lower his princess Into her final resting place. And do not ******* tell me that your mother wouldn't sob As she washed your last load of laundry That you would ever ***** Wishing she could smell her baby girl One last time. Do not tell me they wouldn't miss you Because they would.
