The Last Dinosaur

     Once there was eight born in order
Three males and a female and repeat
First there was School and then came
Work all within the system of defeat

I was number six of the eight but life
Came to each in different ways
And nothing is ever as clear as black
And white it’s filled with shades of grays

Dinosaur one his retirement came natural
Dinosaur two the same but not for three
And not for four, five is still working but
Soon naturally he will also be finally free

Number five and I came close to death
Him only once but I was four times dead
But seven and eight they too dropped out
Early and no longer chase the bread

Five told me that the social worker was
Working on his plan to walk out the door
Now obviously after the simple math
You guessed it, I’m The Last Dinosaur

The Last Exodus

       Modern man has had his reign
Annihilation is ultimately inevitable
Lawlessness has taken up domain
The message of Jesus is undeliverable

The people live in denial and un excepting
Of the gift of their blessedness
They live carefree and without Consequences indulging in their decadence

With a lack of acknowledgement comes
A life that’s connectionless
And without a Devine intervention
We become a society that’s directionless

The choice is of our free will and we’re so
Accepting of all of the behavior indecorous
And our time is running out and we must
Rediscover that which is precedence

It’s time to put the Creator our Lord
Jesus first again and know his excellence
If we wish our souls to be received in
Heaven upon the time of The Last Exodus

The Last Time

     Today I’m walking in Sunshine
Free from yesterday’s rain
Today my life is full of Joy
Free from yesterday’s pain

Today my eyes are wide open
And there’s beauty in what I see
Now that the vail of darkness
Can no longer hide it from me

There’s a new awareness in all of
My senses now that the truth is revealed
I’ve surrendered my life, I’m born again
All of my brokenness has been healed

I can’t believe that I wanted to take my
Own life in a time long ago
And if I had, the life I live now
Is a life I would never know

And now that sound of Hells Bells
As they constantly chime
Is a sound that has been silenced
And I’ve heard them for The Last Time

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

The Left Handed Power

      Don’t let it Happen, no, no
Don’t let this world get to you
Negatively and worry can always be
Defeated by a positive point of view

When darkness falls on the city
And it seems to follow you too
Jesus will be your guiding light
When there’s nothing you can do

A Demons whisper can steal your
Happiness like a thief in the night
A simple suggestion can lead to
Temptation and wrong can feel so right

You’re only human and you can easily
Be found vulnerable in your weakness
But with Jesus you’ll find strength
Despite your flaws and meekness

So just give your heart to Jesus and get
Drenched in his Love & Grace Shower
And you’ll never have to surrender to
The Left Handed Power

The Legend Of Featherstone

   There’s a town just south of Savannah
Georgia and it’s named Darien
There lived a man named Featherstone
He lived like the ancient proletarian

It was in the time just after the civil war
As the story goes there we’re souls lingering
Confederate spirits that didn’t cross over
And their hauntings were shivering

Featherstone was the meanest man
In town and he stood six foot six
He’d beat another man to a pulp
And he’d do it just for kicks

But underneath deep inside
He proved he had a heart of gold
He put it in his head to end evil’s reign
Before he got too old

On a crisp September evening, the Moon
Was full and the fog was thick
They told him that it couldn’t be done
And he simply replied Aw Fiddlesticks

He slammed down his last Whiskey
Just before the toll of the midnight bell
He said I’ll end this evilness and take it
Where it belongs down in Hell

He walked out of the saloon with a chilling
Laughter that echoed throughout the town
He screamed hey demons of the Devil I’m
Gonna defeat you if I lay my life down

You could hear the Erie battle as the
Demons squealed one by one
The fight went on and on and on
Until the very last spirit was gone

Fight fire with fire and evil with evil
And the gore will chill you to the bone
Hear the echo of the battle and his laughter
And know The Legend Of Featherstone

The Legend Of The Death Train

    In the still of the night
You can hear the engine moan
Soon you know the bell will toll
Another soul will die alone

Like a tsunami
Leaving destruction in its wake
It is relentless as it rolls down the track
With the lives it will take

Like a story from the twilight zone
Or something evil from a witches spell
In your ear you hear the deathly screams
From the deepest depths of hell

As the clock strikes midnight
You hear the whistle blow
You look in the sky and see
The moon in an eerie glow

Then you hear a sound you’ve
Never heard and you can’t explain
A dark and deep devils growl
And a man screech in pain

You feel a strong breeze come over you
And it’s hotter than the Suns mid day heat
You look down and see a mans
Head roll from the hill to your feet

It’s a living nightmare that leaves
You with a heavy chilling fear
You will forever dread the night
And any train whistle you hear

For you know as sure as there’s
A heaven above evil will also reign
Because you witnessed first hand
The legend of the death train

The Lord Of The Kings

    In your darkness, in your despair
And everything else the Devil brings
There’s No magnitude of your woes
Too much for The Lord Of The Kings

When your tears are falling and your
Pain is too much for your heartstrings
Just keep your faith and remember the
Power of The Lord Of The Kings

Take your troubles and your worries
Gather all your burdening things
Bring them to the altar and give them
To The Lord Of The Kings

Watch it all just fly away
As the Angels spread their wings
It’s all just another one of the miracles
Provided by The Lord Of The Kings

Peace will come into your heart
As softly the Church bell rings
You’ll feel love like never before
And know it’s Jesus The Lord Of The Kings

The Lost

     She was so young and so pretty
She was Daddy’s little girl
He told her she could be anything
A Ballerina, she loved to twirl

She loved clear summer nights
She spent them stareing at the Stars
Maybe she could be a female astronaut
And be the first to walk on Mars

She had so much potential and
She had so many dreams
But she fell in love with a guy
Making promises and working schemes

Nothing ever seemed to go her way
She was overwhelmed with her situation
All she ever wanted was to be happy
She began using artificial stimulation

She ultimately became addicted
And her heart and soul became the cost
She had so much life to be lived but now
She’s all but invisible and one of The Lost

The Love Snakes

       Be careful of loves bite, for
Loves venom will flow through your veins
The poison will quickly leave you to
Succumb while love slowly reigns

Beware the love Cobra
Their venom is lies
Their target area is straight
Into your trusting eyes

Don’t forget about the love Boa
His love is control and constricting
He’ll squeeze you so tightly
You’ll find his love slowly suffocating

Love rattler he’s a bad boy with a
Clear warning to stay away
His fangs are long his movements swift
It’s not a game I suggest you play

To feed your appetite for love
Please know all of the stakes
The love King is tamable and good
With kids and the best of The Love Snakes

The Man Without A Shadow

    Now we’ve all got stories to tell
And I like to tell mine from time to time
But when I tell them
I tell them in my simple rhyme

Now we’ve all had loves that have
Left our worlds torn apart
What we thought was forever love
And we were left with a broken heart

This is a story about a man that I know
Who rolled the dice and played the game
But he lost it all, yes everything
And he will never, ever be the same

You see when he first saw her
He couldn’t help but be starry-eyed
But he should have known
She would never be satisfied

Now things aren’t always sunshine and roses
But that’s how she wanted it to be
He gave her his love, even though
The warning signs were plain to see

She left him one stormy night
As lightning was flashing across the sky
He pleaded with her not to go
As they both began to cry

Now a darkness follows him
As his heart is filled with pain
Doomed to walk forever
In this never ending rain

But with no sunshine
There’s never gonna be a rainbow
With no light shining through, he’ll
Forever be the man without a shadow

The Master And Me

      It’s a miracle that I am still alive
Fighting against all odds and the Masters jive
My bracket is dead but I still breathe
As we come to the end the battle continues to seethe

With every ounce of myself I will give
As the Master must die for all to live
I’ll apologize now if I should fail
I’ll take this fight to the darkest debts of Hell

I understand that I am not wise
I have never tried to deceive with a disguise
I am battle tested and battle weary
I fight without a formula or scientific theory

There is no way to have a full proof battle plan
You just have to stand toe to toe,man to man
Find the heart to rise higher and higher
And fight Fire with Fire

I know that all of my warriors have died
I’ve grieved and I’ve cried
Their lives lost,in vain I vow this not to be
As we fight on it’s down to just the Master and Me

Basketball Bracket battle last year
Against one who calls himself Master

The Media
  
   It use to be informative
It use to be both sides of the story
It use to be the good and the bad
And stories of triumph and glory

Now it’s all about fear and hate
And political divisions left or right
Now it’s all about doom and gloom
And getting their ratings for the night

I can’t remember the last time that I
Saw any emotion on a reporter’s face
They just seem like stone cold robots
Far removed from the human race

The world hanging on every word
Of their fake news and lies
Dressed in their dresses and suits
Just the Devil in disguise

The only light they shine is evil
The ultimate dark light
Pitting us to turn on each other
As they watch us argue and fight

They are nothing but serpents
Technically known as Ophidia
The one and only, truth is
The Devil is the Media

The Night Of The Dolls

       They are creepy and so life like
Their eyes seem to follow you
You pass it off as silliness yet down
Your spine a chill passes through

You tell yourself that dolls can’t
Hurt you and you denounce your fear
But something inside still makes you
Tremble when the night grows near

Like the stories of the werewolf and
Dracula at times the Moon is full
You know deep down there’s something
About it that let’s Evil rule

You’ve heard the myths and know
Of the legend of a baby’s cry
You’ve seen the tombstones of the dead
And know a possessed doll needs no alibi

But stuff like this isn’t really real
Yet there’s still this Erie feeling
You lay down in your bed and you
See a strange shadow upon the ceiling

You’re paralyzed and you’re about to die
You’re surrounded by a hundred eyeballs
And you realize the stories were true
And this is the night of the dolls

Who once stated that dolls
Creep her out.

The One

     Attention all people gather around
Let me extend an official lathe
To tell you amazing stories about
People whom had unwavering faith

Like the story of Noah, a righteous man
Instructed to prepare for the rain
He was told to build an Ark
And the people thought he was insane

They mocked him as he built
His vessel designed to scon
Then came the rain and they
Soon realized that he was the one

Now there’s the story of Moses
He said to the Pharaoh let thy people go
He was also laughed at and mocked
As the Pharaoh stood fast with a no

Then the plagues came to destroy
The Pharaoh and the Evil that did spawn
And the day of freedom came
And they knew Moses was the one

But here’s the most amazing, for every
Person that feels like Delta Dawn
And you’ve surely lost your way
Remember he left the 99 For The One

The Other Side

     Well I’ve given my life to Jesus, it
Doesn’t mean I think I’m better than you
It just means I’m going to try to be the
Best I can be with everything I do

I feel the love of Jesus so powerful
The Demons just can’t bare it
I feel compelled by a force I’ve never
Felt pushing me to share it

You have the choice to believe
And you have the choice to deny
I’m not gonna say you’re right or wrong
There’s no judgment in my eyes

All I can do is tell of my experience
I hope you can feel the passion
When you see me in my Jesus apparel
I hope you know it’s not for fashion

I’m proud of the Man I am today
My love for Jesus I’ll never hide
And when our time on Earth is over
I pray I’ll see you on The Other Side

The Oxymoron

         Well I went to a seafood restaurant
The best I could hope, it was worth the trip
I was reading the menu and I laughed
Reading they had Jumbo Shrimp

During the dinner conversation led
Into things we had planned for tomorrow
And as we were preparing to leave
I was overwhelmed with sweet sorrow

I went to bed around two Am just wanting
Sleep but my mind was in defiance
And I found that after I turned off the noise
I couldn’t sleep for the Thundering Silence

I felt a feeling of loneliness, as if I were
Just like a useless garden Gnome
And that’s just an added silly Simile
But I’ll leave those for another poem

As I wind this down, please be aware of the
Anti Christ speaking words of the Koran
And the media as their truth is only lies
And so this ends my poetry of the Oxymoron

The Past Is Gone

     Some people say that I dwell
In the darkness of my one time hell
I don’t feel that I am bottled up in my despair
People take their pain to therapists to share

We all must vent before we blow
The reason for our pain we’ll never know
Jesus has taken me by the hand
He is helping me to understand

When I put it down in my simple rhyme
It helps release the hurt from that time
So I take what’s on my mind and write
To show the dark and the light

I tell people about what was once before
And they can see that it is no more
I have come a long way this I know
But I can see I still have a long way to go

I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me
I don’t need them to necessarily agree
God is healing the scars I thought would
Never heal
But know those scars are real

I am still awkward and strange
But I accept the things that I cannot change
I am moving forward no longer in a lull
And for the Lord waits my soul

The Devil will still use my darkness in his fight
God will be victorious with his light
I assure you all I am moving on
Though I still write about it,the past is gone

The Perilous Realm

   The knights ride off into the valley
Knowing that they may never return
Their hearts are heavy as they leave
Filled with much concern

For there’s a thousand obstacles to
Overcome and a thousand ways to die
They must slay the Dragon and return
To the King with the Dragons eye

First task is to make it through
The valley of the walking dead
Knowing as they travel many lives
Will be lost and much blood will be bled

They must also survive the beast of the
Forest of the demon shadows
So they stop to pray and vow to
Honor their oath of the sacred rose

The kingdom is dependent upon the
Knights, the Dragon must be destroyed
For if the knights fail life in the kingdom
May become a thing of void

Their quest is to catch the Dragon as he
Sleeps just beyond the ancient elm
In his cave at the top of fire mountain
So begins the journey of the perilous realm

The Point Of No Return

  We have come to the beginning
Of the end, but it’s been for sometime
We’ve closed our eyes, just like to all
Of God’s beauty,so sublime

As time ticked away we told God we
Didn’t need him, we’re better on our own
And now here we are with no feelings
For our hearts have turned to stone

The world has gone insane, with kids
Killing kids in our schools
Everyone just doing as they please
Paying no attention to the rules

Now it seems we’ve reached the pinochle
The capital or the rebellion we must choose
Just like our past civil war but with this
There’s no winner we all just lose

Brother killing brother
From history we refuse to learn
Can we turn it around or have we
Past the point of no return

The Power Of The Cross

    
    The world can hit me again and again
It can hit me with everything its got
The Devil can burn me with his fire
With a fire of the hottest of hot

He can put me in the center of the
Darkness of a permanent night
And I will focus on Jesus and I will
To my faith hold on tight

It’s a different world now
In more ways than one
Some say the end is near
Soon we’ll all be gone

I’m just a man trying to survive
As this old world spins
When everyone thinks it’s a competition
I’ve got news, nobody wins

You can have this world and your greed
Go ahead and focus on your profit and loss
I’ll just sit back and relax and I’ll focus
On my Faith and the power of the cross

The Price Of This Mistake

        It’s after midnight and I’m looking
Out my window watching the pouring rain
Uncontrollably my tears are falling, I never
Knew a heart could endure such pain

I know it was my fault, and my apologies
Feel like worthless words I just say
I can’t turn back the hands of time
But oh how I wish there was a way

If I could have or if I would have done
What I should have but it’s too late
Now I must carry on without you
And face the destiny of my fate

Maturity comes from lessons learned
As we grow from day to day
But I’m a slow learner and I always
Seem to learn things the hard way

They say that time always heals but I
Fear for this could be an eternal heartbreak
And I know I’ll spend the rest of my life
Paying The Price Of This Mistake

The Quest From The Inside

   Surrounded by darkness and
Infested with demons deep within
Praying for survival of my soul
Lost in my direction where do I begin

Brainwashed with worthlessness
Left with a heart that turned to stone
In humanity a lost trust and at an early
Age forced to survive on my own

Constantly struggling with the echoes
From my past consumed with self doubt
I feared my life would be lived in my
Eternal hell with no way out

But unrealized at the time, there were
Angels assigned to watch over me
And only later in my life was it revealed
My eyes were opened so that I could see

I realized nothing was random or by chance
Yet indeed life was from creation
And I knew that I had to release my Pride
And all of my reasons for my vexation

Finding faith from the unknown
And unseen unto myself I died
Born again,sins washed away
Thus began the quest from the inside

The Rap

       I love my poetry and I will say
It time after time after time
I know poetry doesn’t have to include
It but I have respect for the rhyme

There’s a certain element you get
When you hear it in the song
And it can be quite beautiful even if
It’s about a good love gone wrong

I know that I’m not Shakespeare
So I just take the advice of KISS
Keep it simple stupid so that’s why
I write my poetry like this

Though I say to each his own
I question the beauties cost
When the artist can take happy birthday
And it sounds intimidating and it’s lost

There’s nothing about it that is good
It just sounds like horrible crap
Go ahead and call me old fashioned
But I say **** The Rap

The Residual

     He said he’d love her until the end
Of time, his love would never die
He promised that her eyes would never
Because of him sad tears cry

They lived happily and his love
Was true and never strayed
There were women who tried
But his heart was never swayed

One day he came home from work
And something just wasn’t right
Later that evening he went down to the
Kitchen for a snack and he died that night

One of his promises was broken
And sad tears fell like rain
Because it broke her heart and
It was such an unbearable pain

The very next night she was in the
Kitchen and she couldn’t take being apart
She took a kitchen knife and she
Pierced it through her heart

The new owners of the house swear they
See the couple locked in a time perpetual
He walks to get a snack as she pierces
Her heart in what’s known as the residual

There’s No Me In I

   I am different than all of you
But in reality we’re all the same
To the government we’re a number
But we all have our own name

I can take care of myself
But I can’t really take care of squat
I know this and that
But I don’t really know a lot

I can be happy with my accomplishments
And pat myself on the back
I can take the credit for it all but
There would be a falseness on the plaque

I did it without input or influence from
Anything or anyone you know that’s a lie
For I am nothing without God and you and All That surrounds me, no there’s no me in I

Warning, I’m never gonna be PC
I won’t be a captive in a world
With chains to bind me

Make me live in your transgender fantasy
That’s your world not mine, I wish
To stay in my own world of reality

I keep my Faith while living in this World
When everything is so misleading
And there’s not a Band aide large
Enough to stop the bleeding

There’s a virus that everyone is ignoring
And it’s spreading rapidly out of control

There’s No Second Chance

     There once was a man
His heart was as hard as stone
He was pure Evil with no remorse
He lived his life all alone

He didn’t believe in God and Grace
He didn’t have an ounce of righteousness
Sometimes he would hurt others
For no other reasons but spitefulness

Drugs and Alcohol and a mindset
To get all that he could possibly get
Killing and stealing with no respect
For the law in its face he would spit

He lived his life on the edge of darkness
But tears never fell from his eyes
Then one day he got a taste of his own
Medicine and he met his demise

Falling to Hell he cried out to God please
Help me but God stood strong in his stance
You ignored me in life, never changing your
Evil ways and There’s No Second Chance

The Rise Of Socialism

     In America, the land of the free
From Sea to shining Sea
No longer do we need to worry about War
To the Devil we’ve opened the door

Other countries build their military will
Have no mercy, No prisoners, just ****
Our soldiers, that’s offensive to me
When I don’t have a special place to ***

It’s not fair, there’s the rich and I have none
But their so stupid to see what has begun
America is now divided as we stand
And together in the fall of our land

In lands of socialism in the gutter and street
Loads of money is everywhere at your feet
In Venezuela it is worthless the Bolivar
That’s Socialism and the way things are

Our world will certainly crumble to dust
If we give our Government control and trust
Our America will be a land of Communism
If we surrender to the rise of socialism

The Scorpion Queen And Her Twin Telson
      
    She’s an Angel, or at least
That’s the illusion she wants us to see
But I believe she’s the Devil
And there’s fire burning within thee

She’s beautiful in every way
Her dress is yellow and black
She’s perfect in every way but I
Caution you, beware of her attack

She may promise you Heaven
You may easily fall under her spell
But if you do, you may soon realize
You’re on the highway to Hell

I’ve heard the myths and fear the legend
Of her Angelic voice as she begins to sing
And how that’s the only warning
She gives just before her sting

There’s unbearable pain as her venomous
Poison runs through your veins
And how death is welcomed as you realize
You’re trapped inside a world she reigns

I know you’re the King of your castle
The Captain of the ship
I hope you have a heart of stone
And a stiff upper lip

Be prepared for your sentence, a life
In the grips of her power with no parole
You’ll be a useless man, a zombie
Without existence and without a soul

If you dare to venture into the stormy sea
Be sure your ship has a sturdy keelson
For even Hercules would succumb to
The Scorpion Queen and her twin telson

The Sheriffs Daughter

It was a small town in Ohio
Hebron was it’s name
But evil became the reason
For its claim to fame

He was the newly appointed sheriff
A widower with a daughter to support
They moved into a small house at the
Edge of town, a cute place with a carport

So this made her the new girl in town
But something about her wasn’t right
Soon the kids started making fun of her
And she cried herself to sleep each night

As the days went on he noticed
She seemed to be struggling with depression
Despite all of her attempts to show that
She was happy,he saw through her deception

He wasn’t sure if it was the new surroundings
Or if she was just missing her mother
It never occurred to him that her
Sadness was caused by something other

One day there was a mysterious homicide
A teenage boy met a strange demise
He was found naked beneath the football
Bleachers and he was missing his eyes

Weeks went by into the investigation
But they had very little in the way of clues
Then a girl was found by the creek in the
Same peculiar way, making National news

The new sheriff had his hands full
But with his daughter he’s less concerned
And very relieved of that stress for
It seems her smile has returned

As time went by the homicides continued
Bringing darkness with each Dawn
She was careful in her planing as she
Vowed to get them all one by one

The sheriff was still clueless as her
Classmates are now all gone
Each of them found naked and no eyes
What caused such evil to spawn

She’s the last one my baby is next
The sheriff was burdened with strife
She was his whole world
Especially after the loss of his wife

That evening he found her asleep in
The yard beneath the stars
And he made a grim discovery, the cabinet
In the shed was filled with mason jars

Each jar containing one set of eyes
And labeled with the victims name
As his tears began to flow he felt guilty
For he held himself to blame

He carried her to her room and he
Gently placed her in her bed
Her journal was on her desk open to
The last page, and the words written read

When they looked at me they saw ugly
So I took their eyes and force them to see
Each night before I go to bed
I make those eyes look at me 👀

They picked on me daily and they were evil
And that’s the reason for their slaughter
I guess they’ve learned their lesson
You don’t mess with the sheriffs daughter

The Sound Of Silence

     Everyone knows the song and everyone
Knows its complete real beauty
But I ponder the question to everyone
Is there truly, is there truly

I try so hard to listen but it’s impossible
For even in my times of glorious poise
I have never experienced it because
There’s always noise, always noise

It doesn’t matter where I am or where I go
In the country or in the city
No matter how hard I try, I know
It always escapes me, always escapes me

When I lay my head down on my pillow
I hear the traffic and every little thing
People yelling and doors slamming
And sirens ring, sirens ring

Out in the country I’ll admit it’s much
More peaceful but we all know
Owls hoot, birds sing and crickets chirp
And train whistles blow, train whistles blow

Even if I lock myself in a quiet room, I
Cannot escape the thoughts of my mind
Though I still wonder what it would be like
If I could ever find, I could ever find

Even when I can get to the point of
Getting my mind completely clear
Though it be so gentle and still so soft
The voice of God I still hear,I still hear

So I’ve come to find the true reality
And surrender in complete compliance
There’s no such thing as the
Sound of silence, the sound of silence

The Spore

     It lies in waiting in the darkness
Like a spider patiently waiting to strike
It attacks with the swiftness and the
Ruthlessness of a shrike

There’s no rhyme or reason
Just it’s desperation to find a host
Its victims never see it coming for
It’s as stealth as a ghost

It’s deadly as a black widow or the
The most venomous of snakes
The mere thought of it gives me chills
And the uncontrollable shakes

Its evolution has risen to the extreme
Its destruction is very evident
Death is definitely inevitable
Its superiority is overwhelmingly prevalent

Human existence is on the edge of extinction
In my heart and soul I deeply deplore
And caution the world of the Evil invaders
Humans will soon succumb to The Spore

The Storm Or The Roses Thorns

       Here we go again, you know I can
See the storm brewing in your eyes
I’ve always been faithful and honest
You swear I cheat and my words are lies

I can never seem to stay within the
Boundaries and stay in compliance
And I will never be able defend myself
To closed doors and your scripted silence

You never forget the past when arguing
Is our form of communication
And you use my past mistakes as your
Endless form of ammunition

You manipulate everything and avoid
The topic of discussion
And I always face the consequences
Of the repercussions

It’s always a typical No win situation
Like I’ve always got a Bull by the horns
I’m between a rock and a hard place
Facing The Storm Or The Roses Thorns

The Thief Is The October Morning Wind

  In the Spring  on the wings of a Butterfly
Flutter’s in a new hope
Praying the Dragonfly of summer
Doesn’t steal the colors of the Kaleidoscope

The Devil loves to intervene
And he plans his little schemes
But having Faith in God will assure
The Angels will guard your dreams

As the light weaves in and out of
The Realms of space and time
The music in your heart
Will search for a remembered rhyme

When your dreams and song
Come together and make you whole
You’ll realize God’s plans for the
Eternal life of your soul

But in the meantime darkness will
Visit you like a long lost friend
So when the sky turns grey beware
The Thief Is The October Morning Wind

The Thief Of Time

    Born into the World and you’re a
Teenager in the blink of an eye
As a teenager you wish to be an adult
You kiss your teenage years goodbye

Then before you know it you realize
You’ve got teenagers of your own
You can’t believe that this is your life
And how quickly they have grown

Then one day you’re in the Hospital
As life is about to really get wild
There’s gonna be an addition to the
Family in the way of a grandchild

Suddenly you’re reminiscing and
Memories flow like the waves of a song
And you realize you’re one of the
Lucky ones to live this long

Still you find yourself looking at your
Life like it’s the scene of a crime
And you’ve called the police to put
Out an APB for The Thief Of Time

The Thieves That Steal Your Happiness

    You can be happy
I know that it’s true
And I know being happy
Is better than being blue

Sometimes life can be bad to you or
There’s darkness from your past
These are moments that come and go
No need to make them last

Find a reason to smile
And never look back
Always get back up after being knocked
Down from a surprise attack

When bad things happen you
Gotta find a way to let it go
You can take it from me
I tell you it’s something that I know

Bad things can become a darkness
They can destroy you with their craftiness
Don’t let this or your past become the
Thieves that steal your happiness

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

The Truth

       Let’s Talk About the Truth
Our lives and our freedom of choice
We can live anyway we wish or we can
Listen to God, his still small voice

We’re all given a life to live
No matter what it becomes
That’s truth that we know
Never knowing when death comes

In the meantime we fight our Demons
Never surrender your heart and mind
The world may be cruel but truth is
We can Always find a way to be kind

You can always find the truth
Even in this universe of lies
And there’s truth with every hello
There will always be goodbyes

So let’s plant the seed of love
And let’s watch it grow
It may do more for the world
Than we may ever know

Treasure every moment and make
Sure you hold steadfast in your youth
Keep your faith and praise and pray
For one day we’ll all know The Truth

The Voice Within

    Sometimes in a whisper, sometimes in
A scream, I hear the voice within
Sometimes in the light, sometimes in
The dark, speaking like a kingpin

The words echo, from my dark past
It’s an evil voice, this voice within
Alcohol became a friend of mine
A bottle of beer, a bottle of cold Gin

Sometimes it’s a constant ringing
This strange voice within
Pitching itself between that
Of a Mandolin or a Violin

It’s mean and it’s ugly
This voice within
I believe the Devil would say
It’s his favorite immortal sin

It’s ironic that the hot and fiery
Burning of this voice within
Can be so very, very cold
Even too cold for the mighty Quinn

It use to control me but God is
My most powerful indomethacin
And though I still hear it, I just don’t
Listen to the voice within

The Wails Of The Banshee

  As the Sun rises to kiss the day
The fog is thick and lingering
Fall has set in and the air is crisp
The leafs are colorful but withering

In the distance we can hear the wails
Of the Banshee and fear for the worst
This town has a dark history and
Some say that it’s cursed

Tonight the Moon will be full
With a hazy halo ring
As it will rise above a darkening Sea
As a breeze sends a chill I pray for spring

For the fall is just the presser to winter
And winters here can be harsh
And with the night comes the danger
Of a strange creature lurking in the marsh

It comes in the fall and leaves in the
Spring and each year lives are lost
Some have described the creature
As a sinister looking Jack Frost

The town’s people all live in fear
And never go outside at night
As the creature seems to grave humans
To satisfy his monstrous appetite

Especially on a night of a full Moon with
A hazy halo ring above a darkening sea
There’s certain to be impending death
Upon hearing the wails of the Banshee

The Warning

     Have you heard The Warning
Well I’m spreading the News
It’s time you’ve heard their music
I tell ya you’ve got Nothin To Lose

From their first, Twenty First Century Blood
To their second Queen Of The ****** Scene
Followed by Error and Keep Me Fed
They’re consistent with their edge so Keen

It’s like a slap in the face followed
By a shocking gentle KISS
More exciting than a Roller Coaster Ride
You’ll lose yourself in the Abyss

The ladies Daniela, Paulina and
Alejandra each have beautiful souls
Feel the warmth of their Automatic Sun
And the heart break of Black Holes

The deteriorating structure of Rock & Roll
Has long been in need of restoring
We are so fortunate now its been
Left in the hands of The Warning

The Way Of The City

     Dog eat dog it’s violence It’s chaos
It’s tears in the rain
The night never sleeps and the day
It only brings pain

Do unto you as done unto me
Come face to face with the realization
It’s nothing but a game
A pawn for a pawn in retaliation

Shots fired and a man is down, then
Innocence get caught in the line of fire
Nothing good comes from the madness
When Guns and drugs are the desire

When hate and anger is the Devil’s pleasure
It’s the reason for his endless reign
It’s the endless cycle of life and death
So senseless and so insane

God have mercy I pray, when I see it
I become overwhelmed with pity
It’s hard to just shake it off but
That’s just The Way Of The City

The Wilted Witch

       She’s a most Evil one
She’s the Devil’s Daughter
She’s got a thirst for blood like a
Dehydrated Athlete has for water

She has a dedicated patience
For hers is a soul eternal
She has a natural curiosity and
Unsuspectingly walks among the Mortal

If you come in contact with her
Make sure you get on her good side
If she feels you’ve crossed her
There’s no where you can hide

Her wrath would be put upon you
Brought from the depths of Hell
You’ll suffer until you die never
Knowing that you’re under a spell

Things will continue to happen as if
Your life was a video game glitch
You’ll never know that you were
Blind Sided by The Wilted Witch

The Woke

   It’s a new darkness in a new time
Don’t let it slip by like it’s a practical joke
The evil agenda is clear to see
They call themselves the woke

They insert themselves in the mainstream
They’re swiftly attacking calling it PC
Changing harmless things they say are
Offensive and have become a cancel society

Meanwhile there’s things more offensive
Allowed to thrive on their watch
Showing their not really offended
They just have an itch in their crotch

Seriously pancake syrup and Dr Seuss
NFL team names, this is so ridiculous
I don’t know who they are but they seem
Like adults still trapped in their littleness

What gets me the most is how we’ve
Surrendered to nothing but political smoke
And now it’s time for the nation to fight back
And it’s bedtime for The Woke

The Wolf You Feed

    The forces are real, invisible but
But obviously they can still be seen
If you observe your surroundings
It’s as clear as red and green

It’s as simple as our morals
To do what’s wrong or what’s right
To live in the love of the day
And not die in the darkness of night

The bottom line is it all depends
Upon your own wisdom and choice
When the Demon and Angel whisper
Which one becomes the strongest voice

Is it the Wolf of light and hope
The Wolf of darkness and despair
Tell me you’re not oblivious to the
The forces you must be aware

My words of wisdom are already your
Knowledge to which is your Creed
Because your survival and happiness
Depends upon The Wolf You Feed

The Woman He Never Met

    They say there’s someone for everyone
But finding them is harder than it seems
His perfect woman was everything
But she was only a woman in his dreams

He talked about her with passion
She was the sparkle in his eyes
She was the reason for his smile
But his smile was just a disguise

He had a passion for music beyond compare
He had tickets to every show
Sometimes his friends would tag along
But not once did a woman ever go

Somewhere out there is a woman
Searching for someone to hold her hand
Someone she can cry on, someone to
Comfort her and someone to understand

But he died in his apartment all alone
He’s seen his last earthly sunset
And she may have been the one but now
She’s just the woman he never met

Another poem in memory of my
Friend Paul —R.I.P.

Thunderstorm

  We've been avoiding each other,
trying not to collide
But there's only so many
Places we can hide

Like a typical spring day
The cold clashing with the warm
The clouds are rolling in
I think it's gonna storm

(C) Like a thunderstorm
When we fight
You're like lightning when
You strike
With your burn coming as
Quick as a flash of light
And I'm like thunder when
I come down
I can smash you as I stand
My ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other's heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

Why does it always have
to Be this way
It's like we're walking on
Broken glass every day

I come home to you
I don't know what to say
I get this feeling that it's
Just a game you play

(C) Like a thunderstorm
When we fight
You're like lightning when
You strike
With your burn coming as
Quick as a flash of light
And I'm like thunder when
I come down
I can smash you as I stand
My ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other's heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

(Music interlude,solo)

(Bx2) With all of the wind
And rain
We've suffered to much
Damage and pain

(Cx2) (Bx2) End in Music

We’ve suffered too much damage and pain
Left alone to pick up the pieces that’s
Left from the thunderstorm

This is a song that I wrote but
Rearranged it to make it a poem.
