My Ninth Brain

       Well I’ve procrastinated and
I’ve wept many of tears
I’ve dealt with it now literally
Almost for a good 15 years

It’s really just common sense
But it’s a manipulation of words
The phrases and ways of questioning
The creators are turds

Most of the stuff isn’t for me
There’s not a lot pertaining
I think it’s just how they avoid boredom
For them it’s entertaining

I’m getting certified for things I
Know Nothing about or need
I never retain the information
And the videos make my ears bleed

My employer is like a Master
Making me jump through hoops
It’s your typical micro management
It’s how they manage the troops

It’s like pulling teeth no lie
An agonizing throbbing pain
I dread getting on my laptop
To engage in My Ninth Brain

Savin Lives

       Out on the Streets for a living
The days of my youth are gone
When I’m out there surviving
Sometimes I feel I’m the only one

I don’t know what it is about me
If my presence is cause for alarm
Or if it’s my overwhelming aura
Of my gentleness and charm

But if you’re someone in heart distress
There’s no need for a crash cart
I’ll come to your rescue
And instantly revive your heart

There’s no need for Narcan or
An EpiPen or an AED
None of it is necessary
All you need is me

If you see me and view me as hideous
I could give you a fright
If you see my awesome handsomeness
Either will be a shock in your sight

But regardless either way my presence
Is the reason a heart revives
So everyday I’m out there
Is a day I’m savin lives

The Truth

      It’s your typical he said she said
It’s the same old song
Neither one of them wants to budge
Who’s right and who’s wrong

The information is iffy at best
They each have their side
There’s a willingness of reveal
And a sense for what they wish to hide

It’s the way of the world
There’s always a darkness and a light
Been that way through the ages
Good and Evil will always fight

I was always able to detect this
From a very early age
And there’s a secret I’ve learned
When drama takes the center stage

Like any storm or sickness
It just has to take its course
You can’t really fight the power
Of its devastating force

However you can stay vigilant
With a careful type of Sleuth
And as you search through the lies
Eventually you’ll find The Truth

A Boston State Of Mind

    Here I am a sixty three year old man
Listening to my rock & roll at my age
My teenage years always come flooding
Back to me though I’m in life’s third stage

My music still takes me back to a
Younger version of myself
So whenever I get a chance I’ll
Take something old off the shelf

I’ll dust it off and put it on
And let it take me back in time
Sometimes for my neighbors it may
Be too loud but that’s my life’s only crime

Especially when I open the windows
And turn it up when it’s eight in the morning
Sometimes I push the boundaries
Because my urges come without a warning

I’m known for my passion of KISS but
I listen to a variety you’d be surprised to find
Today I may be wearing a KISS shirt but
I’m in A Boston State Of Mind

LINGER

      As I wipe the tears from my eyes
Using only a swipe of my finger
It’s looks like a storm has arrived
And it seems this one will linger

There’s a heartache in the song
Hear the emotion of the singer
Nazareth words were true, love hurts
Hear the voice echo and linger

I always follow my heart
You know I’ve never been a thinker
Now my thoughts are overwhelming
And they continue to linger

Where did we go wrong is the question
As the song comes through my speakers
With my windows open my pain is
Releasing In the atmosphere to linger

Now I know why men drink but
I’ve never been much of a drinker
I don’t think I’ll ever get over you
This darkness is gonna LINGER

The Laws Of Physics

     According to Science, the Laws of
Physics Cannot Be inverted
In fact nothing is free will or choice
Everything is predetermined

As humans everyday decisions we
Think are free will Are not our own
You think you chose to order a pizza
Nope you’re just a robot drone

With this logic can there be
Punishment for crime
Is our life meaningless and
Is it just wasted time

If our actions are not our own
We cannot be held accountable
There can be no consequences
If we’re not the ones responsible

This is where Science crosses the line
And I am one of its biggest critics
Theory or fact I still disagree with
The Laws Of Physics

Silent Night

    In the darkness, alone I sit
With just the flicker of one candle lit
As random thoughts flow, through my mind
Let my words be thoughts refined

No matter your troubled heart
Don’t let your life fall apart
Settle yourself deep therein
Find your strength and peace within

Take yourself to a secluded nook
Close your eyes,visualize a peaceful brook
For yourself take some time
In the night find beauty sublime

When your world has gone awry
And your sorrow escapes in tears you cry
Let Jesus be that flicker of one candle lit
Open thy heart and eyes, and focus on it

You will feel his holiness
His warm embrace and gentle kiss
And take that heart felt flight
And you’ll know the joy of a silent night
