When words are soft
Tony Anderson May 2019
Water is soft
Yet
It can make grooves upon the Earth
Those grooves become mighty rivers

Water is soft
Yet
It can tear down mountains
Tear down trees
Tear down homes

Water is soft
Yet
It can wash away cars
Cause sinkholes
To engulf the land around it

When words are soft
They can
Break the hardest of hearts
Turn enemies into friends
Stop the wrath
Stop the rage

When words are soft
They can
Heal the broken heart
Calm the hurting
Tear down emotional walls

Come into the jungle
Tony Anderson May 2019
Come into the jungle
The fire burns
As the flames grow higher
So does the beating of your heart
As the flames grow higher
So does that wide eye stare

Come into the jungle
Become one with all that is around you
Hold nothing back
Let yourself be free
Let yourself trully be

Come into the jungle
Open yourself to your purest form
Open yourself to the jungle dweller
Lurking within you
Become who you trully are

AMEN

The Lord is my light
He will shine through the darkest night
AMEN
Everyone say AMEN

When I  feel scared and doubt
The Lord is there to help me out
AMEN
Everyone say AMEN

AMEN
When the world is failing
To the Lord I"'ll be calling
For his mercy and grace

Though Satan tries to stop me
He has no chains that can lock me
And keep me from praising my Lord

When it comes to the end of days
Still his name I will raise
AMEN
Everyone say AMEN

At the top of the tallest tower
I will shout louder and louder
AMEN
Everyone say AMEN

AMEN
When the world is failing
To the Lord I"'ll be calling
For his mercy and grace
AMEN
Though Satan tries to stop me
He has no chains that can lock me
And keep me from praising my Lord

Family
Tony Anderson May 2019
We are family
We are kin
Sure sometimes we fight
We always come back to each other
In the end

We are family
I know sometimes
That's hard to see
But we know the truth
There's nothing Like family

We are family
We work together
To build a stronger bond
We share each other's
Good times
We comfort each oth
When things go wrong

Mad
Tony Anderson May 2019
Mad
The emotional dam has burst
Blood rushes
It heats up as the anger grows
The madder I get
The more my blood boils
The more I feel
I will burst into flames

Life has delt me a nasty blow
I was cheated
I was hurt
When life attacked

I want to fight back
To prove I am no coward
To prove I am strong
To prove I am not someone to ***** with

HOME
Tony Anderson May 2019
Home
Where the cattle roam
Home
Fixing feance all day long

Living on a farm
Has a speacial charm
That really makes it the life to live
Family dinners
Fishing in the pond
BBQs
And much much more

Home
Hauling hay
Home
Mowing grass
Or chasing a cow
That's gone stray

Watching your kids play
Catch fireflies at night
Laying in the yard
Looking up at the stars

Home
Home grown fruits and vegitables
Straight from the garden
Home
Hayrides and bonfires
In the fall

County fairs
Family outings
All this make the country life

Let's fly away
Tony Anderson May 2019
Let's fly away
To worlds unknown
Playing strange games
meeting people with funny names
discovering treasures untold

Let's fly away
To see dragons and castles
Meet Kings and Queens
Fight alongside knights
To save the land
To win the pretty maidens hand

Let's fly away
High above the clouds
Let's continue to fly
To never touch down

The Aborted Child
Tony Anderson May 2019
Mommy, Why did you **** me
Why did you let them take me from you
Why did you let them rip me from your womb before it was time
I know I was brought by
****
Wrongful love affair
Bad decision
However I could have made you so proud of me
I could have made you rejoice at my birth
However you killed me and dashed my hopes
Why
I did nothing wrong
I loved you mommy
Yet you killed me
I wanted to be your child
I wanted to make you laugh and be joyful
I had potential if only you gave me the chance to use it
Yet you killed me
Why
I do not understand
Please tell me did I do something wrong
Did I cause you pain
Why did you **** me mommy
Why
I love you
Yet you let them tear us apart
Why did you not love me as well
I know I came through bad circumstances
I was your child
Your very own
I just wrote this one day, please don't hate me

First Date
Tony Anderson May 2019
It’s my first date
What should I wear
It’s my first date
Should I wash my hair

I am so nervous a complete wreck
I haven’t even showered yet
I asked her out
She said yes
This first date there’s so much stress
Just be myself
That’s the key
What if she doesn’t like me
I will try my very best
Should I wear a vest

It’s my first date
Times ran out
It’s my first date
There she is now

Color
Tony Anderson May 2019
Passion is red
Sorrow is blue
Greed is green

Purity is white

Like a good and gracious fellow
Death is black
Like a knife dealt harshly in the back
With all these colors and all these hues
I ask once again what color are you

Playing my drum
Tony Anderson May 2019
When I play my drum
Every beat
Every pulsating rhythm
An extension of
Mind
Soul
Body
Joining together as one
To praise and glorify
It's maker

When I play my drum
It is like an electric current
Flowing through me
A band of energy
Whose origins I can not explain
I feel closer to
God
Creation
The universe

When I play my drum
I feel a freedom
I feel pure joy
God is with me
God joins me as I sing
As I worship
As I praise his awesome name

When I Asked You To Dance
Tony Anderson May 2019
When I asked you if you wanted to dance I gave you no reason to pick a fight
I gave you no reason for your attitude

When I asked you to dance
I thought it would
Be nice to share a moment
As we glide across the floor

Instead you accused me of things in your heart you know I would never do
Instead you yelled and screamed at me
For crimes I never committed against you or any other woman

When I asked you to dance
I wanted to waltz over the floor
With you

Instead I have been given nothing but hate
I don't understand this
I'm leaving
Find yourself another date

Be Yourself
Tony Anderson May 2019
Peer preasure
The media
Schools
Government
Religion
All want to keep us on a leash
All want to control us
I say enough is enough

Time to stand up
Time to fight back
Be who you are
Do NOT let them decide
Break the leash
Free yourself

You are your own person
Stand firm
Sound your voice
Rejoice in yourself
Be all you were trully ment to be

The machine
Tony Anderson May 2019
The machine is taking over
Indavidualty is being lost
Everyone acts the same
Everyone looks the same
Everyone moves the same

The machine is taking over
Like a well oiled peice
The true self is no more
Only the machine is left
The true self lost
Lost in the crowd
Lost in the void
Lost to the world

Steping in time with everyone else
Marching to the same
Rythme and beat
Even eyes blinking
At the same time
All one mind
All one soul
All one thought

No more fun
No more free spirits
The machine will not allow it
No more free thinkers
No more joy
The machine is stern in its ways

The indavidual now part of a system
A system that demands control
A system that demands loyalty
Loyalty or death
That is how the machine works

The indavidual no longer free
Free to think
Free to be themselves
Free to learn and laugh
Freedom is lost
Just as the indavidual is lost
Now part of the machine
FOREVER

Bitch
Tony Anderson May 2019
My heart was ripped out of my chest
This young lady was just like the rest
Playing me for the fool I am
I should have known it was all a sham
I want a woman I can hold onto for life
Take her home and someday make her my wife
This woman was more like a witch
Casting her spell, boy what a *****
May 2019 · 243
Venture
Tony Anderson May 2019
To venture into the unknown
To stretch my limits
To boldly go where I have never gone before

If I never try somthing new
If I never teke on new challenges
I will never truly grown
In person
In mind
In body
In soul
In spirit

At times there will be points where I want to quite
I can not
For I can not and will not let the wolrd win
At times there will be great heartaches
I will not let it keep my down

The challenges of life
Are not stumbbling blocks
However they are stepping stones
Each step takes me
Higher into selfawareness
Fuller in the knowledge of
My own abilities
My own streangths
My own desire to progress and move foward
May 2019 · 102
How Do I Love You
Tony Anderson May 2019
I love you like that of a galactic starry sky
My love for you rockets out of sight
You keep me staring for the sight is more than I can take
Like the flower of a rose
I fear if I move this image will break and be lost forever
I do not wish to loose you
For if ever I do I will surely die
Or at the least my heart will be ****** into a black hole from which there is no escape

I love you like a patriot loves his home land
Let the enemy come let them fight their war.
My love shall remain
My heart pounds with the sound of the canon
The rifles are the sound of my footsteps
Running for you to make sure all is right
My love shall never fail
My love shall never fall
For you my love has no strings attached
There is no medal won in battle that compares with you
For you are worth so much more than these

I love you like that of a rose
You are the sweetest thing that I have ever known
You are like a rare gem, you are priceless to behold
I am stunned by your beauty, I am unable to take my eyes off you
I am caught forever in your spell
Lost forever to the world around me
Nothing else matters when you are around
My heart longs to know you
My soul longs to be near you
I long forever to hold you in my arms
For there is no other that could fill this space in my life
There is no other who my will so bends to

Ten Thousand
Tony Anderson May 2019
Ten thousand soldiers
Upon the hill
Ten thousand bodies
Now lay still
Ten thousand souls
Cry in pain
For freedom’s light
For freedom’s gain

Ten thousand wounded
Battle scared
Ten thousand soldiers
Fighting hard
Ten thousand feel the strain
Through the heat
Though the rain

For freedom
They came to fight
For freedom
They sparked a light

Ten thousand soldiers
Upon the hill
Ten thousand bodies
Now lay still

Freedom is not free

Childhood Memories
Tony Anderson May 2019
Riding on the tailgate of the pickup dragging a stick cuting grooves in the dirt road
Jumping off the tailgate running behind the truck then jumping back on
Walking through the dry creek bed looking for rocks
Splashing in mud puddels
Finding turtles under haybails
Just walking through the field exploring


I could go on and on
Childhood in the country
Is the best childhood to have
May 2019 · 126

Fantasy
Tony Anderson May 2019
In the land of fairies, goblins. And kings
In the land of elves, dwarves, and other things
Where anything can happen
Where there are treasures untold
Adventure lurks for the fearless of soul
You never now what lurks ahead
One false move and you might be dead
In the land of dragons
In a constant time of war
You never know what is hiding
Just outside your front door

I am The Freak
Tony Anderson May 2019
I am the freak
Bleed me
Destroy me
Burn my soul if you want
I can not change who I am
All I wanted was a friend
However
You all shun me
You all turn away

I am the freak
But
I am human
I have feelings
I have emotions
I fall in love
So even though I am a freak
I am not much different than you

I am the freak
Peirce my side
Make me bleed in great waves
You can destroy my body
but
My spirit
My soul
Can not be destroyed

I am the freak
Though I get laghed at
Though they throw their mud
I still dream
I still aspire
To better myself
To better those around me

I am the freak
You all have pointed that out
Though
You do not know my story
You do not know my background
You call me a freak
You know nothing about me

I am the freak
Though you laugh
Though you throw your mud
I will go on
For I have better things to do
Than standing here
listening to your ****
Tony Anderson May 2019

Meet kings ans Queens

And other wonderful things

Let's go on a magic carpet ride
Go and go and go
No stopping now

I Am The Poet
Tony Anderson May 2019
I am the poet with my words
I can rip out the very fabric of reality
I can replace it with what I choose
Destroy one’s own ideas of life itself
Encourage one’s faith in GOD
Or make them face their darkest demon
I can crumble the government

With my words
I can bring two lovers together
Explain the mysteries of the universe
Let them know pain exists
That they are not alone in how they feel
Shine a light within this dark world

With my words
I can bring joy or cause pain
Calm fears and dry tears
Make friends

I am the poet
I am the poet

The Waterfall
Tony Anderson May 2019
The waterfall splash
Down upon the rocks below
The mist rises up
Tony Anderson May 2019
I'm not going to take it anymore
You have pushed me to my limit
I am ready to explode
With a mighty force
That is awesome to behold

I'm not going to take it anymore
You've called me names
Laughed in my face
You push me down
You've spit in my face

My fists are tight
My anger high
I will start throwing blows
As soon as you come into sight

Blood will fly
Blood will be spilt
As I beat you and beat you
And never quit

I will give you a taste
Of the rage that's been brewing
I will give you a taste
Then keep feeding

My fists will come fast
My fists will hit hard
Let's see you laugh
When you're cover in scars

Wings
Tony Anderson May 2019
Hot wings
Buffalo wings
Tangy sweet
Or spicy hot

Grill them
Fry them
It's all good

Enjoy them
Eat them
Savor the goodness
Lick the sauce from your fingers

Hot wings
Buffalo wings
Tangy sweet
Or spicy hot

Going on an adventure

Going on an adventure
Going on a quest
Seeing new places
Putting myself to the test

Untitled
Tony Anderson May 2019
He comes from the depths of the Earth
He is not quite dead
Yet
He is not quite alive either

He feeds upon the souls
Of those who dare stand in his way
He is nobody's friend
A loner
They called him the wander, the stalker, the claimer of lives.  Among many others

He is a mystery
Showing up from time to time
You never know when
You never know where
So always be on your guard
For if he ever catches you
Your as good as dead

Nobody has seen him
But everyone has heard about him
And those who claim they have seen him
Are locked away in mental hospitals
For it is said
That just the sight of him
Will drive you mad

I Love You
Tony Anderson May 2019
I love you
I don't understand it
I just do

You just want to be friends
I am cool with that
But
My heart
Grows stronger and stronger
With love for you

Before I met you
Before you entered my life
It was dark and dreary
You have opened my heart
You have lit up a spark
To warm the coldness within me

No one else
Has touched my life so
Now that I  have you
I don't want to let you go

You just want to be friends
I agree
But my heart will always long for thee
May 2019 · 307
The creature
Tony Anderson May 2019
Through the centuries it has existed
Through the eons it has fed
A shape shifting beast
Sometimes animal
Sometimes human
Sometimes an object
Whatever form that accomplishes it's goals

You never see it coming
You never know it's there
Until it's too late
Once you are interested its trap
There is no escape

Scars
Tony Anderson May 2019
The surgeries she has had in her life
Have left many scars
Many people laugh at her
Many people make fun of her
All because she was born different

I  for one see past the scars
I see the beautiful person she is
She is shy
Afraid I will laugh
Just as all the others have
I have shown her my scars
Told her my story
Still she is weary

I don't blame her
When all the kids laughed at me
It took time
Time to heal
Time open up again
Time to love

Yes I understand
For now we are just friends
She at least trusts me that much
I am cool with that

Tony Anderson May 2019
I am the Alpha-wolf

Leader of me family
Protecter of those I care about

Providing for those who can not hunt themselves
Giving nourishment
Giving hope
Giving life

The Waitress
Tony Anderson May 2019
I saw you waltz across the restaurant
With that tray in your hand
Your movement
Your poise
So captivating
So graceful

You came to my table
With your pad in your hand
With the voice of an angel
You asked if I wanted anything
It was all I could do not to sound foolish
Not to say or do anything stupid
So taken by your beauty I am

When you took my order and left
I could not help but watch

Filling drinks
Delivering food
An exotic rhythmic dance across the floor
When you brought me my food
I felt like I was being fed by a goddess

I ate my meal
but I could not help
But glance up at you from time to time
As you glided gracefully here and there

I finished and paid for my meal
I caught one last glance of you
Then I headed out the door

Childhood Memories
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Apple pie in the oven
I can smell it from the porch swing
Grandma's in the kitchen
Childhood memories
Floating through my mind

Cool Spring day
Hay freshly bailed
Me on my ATV zigzagging between the bails
or
Just driving in circles around them
Childhood memories
Floating through my mind

Sitting on the tool box of the tractor
While my Grandpa drove
Or
Sitt on his lap steering
Childhood memories
Floating through my mind

Bottle feeding a baby calf
Piking up walnuts
Piking apples straight from the tree

I could go on and on
Memories made in a moment
But
Last a life time

Hearts Darkspot

The Final
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I am the final D.J. cool, handsome, and clean
Able to play my albums with ease
I am the final cowboy the last of my breed
Riding on horseback in the cool summer breeze
I am the final captain or pirate maybe
Sailing my ship all over the seas
I am the final spaceship commander
Exploring places unknown going to the end of the universe and coming back home
I am the final child still lying in bed
Trying to prepare for the harsh reality ahead

Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Don’t laugh at me
Don’t give me such pain
While you are laughing
I am showered with pain
You laugh at me
At what you do not know
All your meanness will take it’s toll
Please don’t laugh at me
I want to be friends
I have a lot of love to give
So just let me be the person I am
So we may form a happy clan
