Destiny

     Destiny is a video game
We play it on our Xbox or PS3
I am still not sure if it's a game
That's a good game for me

My brothers are hoping
That I become a true hero fighter
I don't know if it will ever come to be
But I did **** the giant tank spider

Time slips away as we fight aliens
On a distant planet in a far off Galaxy
It is amazing how realistic it all seems
As the three of us get lost in the fantasy

As Titans or Warlocks we fight
To save the existence of Humanity
And we bond as brothers and pat
Ourselves on the back for our false vanity

We are men with lives and we all
Have our own responsibility
We become children when we play
As we join together in a war of hostility

Me in Worthington and Dave in Gahanna
And Jimbo in Zanesville
Yet we fight together on the same planet
In the same building or on the same hill

Having a great time with out a care
Of our everyday life and stress
Taking turns being the one forging forward
With initiative and great aggress

As I pack it all into my vault of great memories
I wonder of our fantasy and our reality
And what will become of each when
We reach our final destiny

Devils Daughter

    She’s a woman of power
She’s born from an evil spawn
She’s like the Darkest Night
Refusing to give way to the Dawn

She’s more dangerous than the venomous
Spider known as the Black Widow
Like the smoke from a fire, the evil she
Speaks from her mouth,the words billow

She’s old and she’s bitter, she thinks
It’s funny like she’s playing a game
I warn you all of her evil schemes
And reveal that Pelosi is her name

She’s ****** reincarnated and her
Presence feels like the end is truly near
Her only motivation is hate and destruction
And for the world’s survival I truly fear

She’s a speaker of the house for the criminal
soon we’ll all be victims of her slaughter
Look closely people into her eyes and
You’ll see that she’s the Devils Daughter

Diamonds And Tears

   She was so beautiful
It was that first spark
It turned into a flame
That lit up the dark

He was so handsome
She saw wonder in his eyes
They couldn’t hide it,
It was a love they couldn’t disguise

It started as a whirlwind
But they were both so vein
It wasn’t much longer
That it started to rain

They had children
And he found lust
She cried in the night
As their love turned to rust

He bought her diamonds
When he had done her wrong
He always said he was sorry
But it was always the same song

Now that love that had promise
They thought would last for years
Is nothing but a forgotten dream
Living on diamonds and tears

In search box type New Angel by
Charles Kean —this is not an advertisement
When I wrote this it wasn’t about a cheating man, it was about my father and him making up to my mother after he had
Beaten her and us the night before,
From being drunk.
It was rarely diamonds we were poor
But there was always tears
and it was always the same song.

Don’t Hold On To Me

     Well I don’t know about tomorrow
But I can’t say that it was a surprise
You’ve been distant for awhile now
And I could see the sadness in your eyes

My mind is in a whirlwind and here I am
Standing on the edge of a broken heart
I’ve been living inside of my perfect
World and now it’s all falling apart

Once there was a spark that ignited
A flame and it burned so bright
But like a black hole in the midst
Of Space you’ve consumed all the light

Though I’ve tried to save our love
I’ve got nothing left in the vault
So here I am with a gaping wound
As you continue pour in the salt

Now there’s nothing left to do but to
Let go and set you free
And forever I’ll hear the echo of your
Voice crying Don’t Hold On To Me

Do You Still Remember Me

    I can remember the days
When physically you were mine
I can remember your love
Still within the realm of space and time

I can remember when you held me
When I was just your child in tears
I miss you more now it seems
With the passing of the years

If I close my eyes, I can see you clearly
With your fading smile and your sad eyes
I wish I could hold you once again
And like a song over and over I’d reprise

Not a day goes by without you
And I wonder if you look down on me
Can you tell me Angel
Am I just a faded memory

Does time stand still, does your mind
Still think and your eyes still see
Can you tell me Angel
Do you still remember me

Drop

       The orchard of Apple trees
Was once the best crop
The branches are bare now
There’s no Apples to pick or drop

Outside my window I see a Butterfly
In a flutter ballet and a Rabbit hop
In my emptiness is the sound of silence
You can hear a pin drop

There’s a pain so unbearable
My heart is breaking, no signs it will stop
In my overwhelming weakness
To my knees I am forced to drop

My mind is in chaos and in a
Whirlwind I am spinning like a top
The clouds have turned grey
The rain started to drop

My uncle Dean has passed away
I have seized in function I’ve closed shop
From my eyes uncontrollably
My tears begin to Drop

Dusk Before The Dark

    In a dream last night I saw you
It was just before you said goodbye
The vision was clear and I could see
The tear in your eye

It’s been the same dream now
For seven nights in a row
And I wish now that I knew all
The things I didn’t know

Like how to be a lover but more
Important,how to be a friend
In the darkness I scream out your name
But it’s just a whisper in the wind

You’ll never know my regret or how
Deep I feel the cut from my mistake
And now until the end of time
You’ll be the memory I’ll never shake

If I could turn back the hands of time
Would I know what to change
My mind is so confused it’s
In a state of derange

I don’t want the night to fall and
In the distance I hear the song of a lark
I can’t stop the inevitable and I begin to
Cry here in the dusk before the dark

Eberwine

     I was walking a path in the woods
When I came upon a peculiar pine
It had a warning of no trespassing
Order of the Kingdom of Eberwine

Nothing else looked out of place
And I became overwhelmed with curiosity
So much so that I couldn’t control
The persuasion of my impetuosity

So I entered through the gate without a
Fence across the boundary of Eberwine
And suddenly I was whisked through
A portal to another place and time

To a world within our world where everything
Is unimaginable but so very real
My heart was racing and I had much anxiety
Beyond what I ever thought I could feel

My eyes gazed upon a huge mountain
That no human could possibly climb
As I pause to take in the beauty before me
In a near distance I hear bells begin to chime

I realize now that I may never see home
Again and I may be stuck here in Eberwine
From the mountain a water fall cascades
Into a river as mighty as the European Rhein

I’m sure out of the corner of my eye
I saw a large creature of some kind
But I’m no longer sure of my reality
Eberwine may be playing tricks on my mind

As I’m walking I notice strange wildlife
With unfamiliar and familiar traits
Like horses but they have camel humps
And one seems trapped and in dire straits

As I was heading towards him to attempt
A rescue on my shoulder I felt a poke
Startled I turned around to find a four
Winged Owl and I stopped and he spoke

He said you don’t belong here and you’re
In great danger, didn’t you read the sign
Warning the other side of trespassing
By order of the Kingdom of Eberwine

I said yes but curiosity got the best of me
And there appears to be no danger here
He said that’s the problem nothing is what
It seems and you’ve yet to see what we fear

When night falls all the gentle beast
Become evil and are fixated on the ****
There’s nothing we can do to fight it
Though it’s the opposite of our will

Our days last five times that of yours
And our nights do too so beware
This is the first day but we must find where you entered, we must get you safely there

He added there’s also the creature of
The trees who is swift with his doom
But his weakness is that he loves eating
What we call the sleepy time shroom

Even though I feel compelled to venture
Further to unravel this mystery
I must leave this strange enchanted place
I know that I must cease my inquiry

The gentle beast all know I don’t belong
Here in their place and time
So I said my goodbyes and thanked the four winged Owl, and I’ll never forget Eberwine

Edge Of Suicide

   How sad does one have to be
How dark is the soul inside
For the brain to begin the thought
Process to stand on the edge of Suicide

When does one start to withdraw
And from society hide
When does the depression push
The sanity to the edge of Suicide

When does the light fade and ones
Passion for life subside
At what point does the rationality switch
To think it’s ok to be on the edge of Suicide

When does happiness and sadness
Like a storm front of hot and cold collide
It frightens me to know the answers to the
Questions for I’ve been to the edge of Suicide

I know when sanity and insanity
Become ones reality as they coincide
And when insanity over takes ones hope
So they find themselves on edge of Suicide

But I was given an Angel, someone
To whom in my feelings I could confide
It reversed my steps and I began
To retreat from the edge of Suicide

So if your days are as dark as the darkest
Night, I pray for enough sanity so you decide
To reach out for something or someone
So you never stand on the edge of Suicide

Edge Of Twenty One

   Standing on the edge of sixty
Looking at life still ahead of me
Looking back at what I left behind
Is almost impossible to see

Oh the stories I could tell
About so many crazy, crazy nights
But if I did, they’d probably arrest me
And throw away the key and my rights

Still cannot explain the morning I woke
Up from sleeping in the women’s room
To the sound of some girls screaming
Thought I was dead and sealed my tomb

One of those wild nights still in a haze
Escaping from the grips of the beast
My life hanging in the balance
Between living and being deceased

I don’t know how I ever survived
And those days are long, long gone
Sometimes though I still think about  
Standing on the edge of twenty one

Eeyore's Cloudy Day

  Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh.
You know a cloudy day can
Make us all feel sad and blue

Great friendship stories
Together through and through
Are the stories you find in
The adventures of Pooh

I have always loved
Pooh and the rest
But Eeyore is truly the
One I love the best

I don't know if this is
The actual story line
But it will work for this
Little poem of mine

Oh bother Eeyore said to
Piglet as a rain cloud appeared above
I feel so sad and lonely
And without love

I may as well just stand here
In the rain for nobody cares
Anyway
And just then piglet said I
Care Eeyore as he pulled out
His Umbrella to share
On Eeyore's cloudy day

Enchanted

   Enchanted is a word associated
In books and movies of fairytales
A vision of the love Angel Cupid
Through the heart his arrow empales

Twinkling starlight and love everlasting
In a land of wonder and fireflies
Of blue skies and rivers of honey
And a land of flowers and butterflies

The world of reality is far removed
From the world of our dreams
And all we can really hope for is a life
Somewhere in between the two extremes

Thirty seven years ago I laid my eyes
Upon her and my heart was brought to life
I told my friend that she was the one
That I would have for my wife

It was truly love at first sight, we had a date
It was a year and a day later we said I do
And suddenly I was living in a fairytale
And a life so wonderful and new

Today is our thirty sixth anniversary
So maybe Cupid’s arrow was implanted
Just maybe the fairytale does exist
For my reality is enchanted

Enchanted Kiss

     In a misty vision
She still comes to me
So many sleepless nights
I close my eyes but I still see

I see her on her Pegasus
I feel her powers as they begin to impel
I feel myself falling deeper
And deeper under her spell

I know I can never break free
I feel the tug of a greater force
This is not where I belong
I’ve got to let life take its course

Into a land of make believe
Or a world of another galaxy
Can this place of fairy tales
Be my strange odyssey

Is this just a crazy dream
Or does this place really exist
Am I losing my mind
Or did we share an enchanted kiss

Entity

        As an individual I am one within
Myself as an independent identity
A living breathing form of life
Science would explain me as an Entity

I am and you are no different than
The rock or the flower or the tree
We are all one with all of Earths wonder’s
Each as special as the dog, bird and bee

I once wore a shirt that had a print
That read I am special, I am me
This is true but it applies to all
I am sure with this it’s easy to agree

But we are not so special that we can
Put ourselves above the others
No matter our riches or fame or power Because we’re all sisters and brothers

That’s right you heard me clearly
This is our real glorious reality
Our God the Creator he made everything
And we’re all one big entity

Eternal Life

     Time keeps on ticking
As the moments slip away
Did you make the minutes count
As you went along in your day

With his mind all was created
All is energy we cannot create or destroy
Now all energy can only transform
We must take our time and fully enjoy

God promises if you believe
In Heaven for you there’s a place
We get caught up in our every day
We forget about God while we race

For those whom don’t believe
Yes there’s a place for you as well
We know this place is down deep
And it’s all of fire, known as Hell

So take one of your precious moments
You spend trying to make a buck
And  listen to these words written
Here by your friend Chuck

Knowing that all life is eternal
As we struggle with everyday strife
Two choices, to transform too
Heaven or Hell for your eternal life

Everyone’s Talking

   A still small voice is calling
Know that Jesus saves
Out in the streets hear the noise
Hear it over the airwaves

This is the Devil at his finest
It’s so hard to find the love
When the world is fighting and
Every push becomes a shove

Everyone one knows the two paths
We all have the right to choose
In times of difficulty when we fight wrong
With wrong the end result is we all lose

Every Time there’s a disaster see it
On the news, those that come to rescue
And then there’s those that loot
Forgive me and my pirlicue

When one is killed wrongly by police
We agree that it wasn’t right
But in turn is this cause or reason to
Rioting and causing a national racism fight

In hindsight couldn’t we have protested
And voiced ourselves in a way that inspires
Not by disrespecting others property by
Busting windows and setting fires

Outside at your door you
Cannot hear him knocking
The Devil has us fighting and no one’s
Listening but everyone’s talking

Evil Within

      For sixty one years I have been mostly
In control except every now and then
But there’s been times when the world
Has caught glimpses of the Evil within

Everyone has this problem but most
Are not as capable and strong
However some remain in complete control
Their Evil never to harm or do wrong

Daily I see the battle unfold before my
Eyes between Evil and the Good
And it breaks my heart knowing that we
never treat each other the way we should

There’s been a shift in the Matrix and more
And more I see Evil slipping through the cracks
The worlds train is derailing and it’s
Running off of its tracks

I can feel it in the Atmosphere unfolding
Before us, I see the Apocalypse begin
And I myself am losing my control
Over my own powerful Evil Within

Fade Away

      Just like the day surrenders
To the night without a word to say
When there’s nothing left to do
It simply knows it must fade away

Everything that ever mattered
Means nothing at all today
Just like when it’s time to die
We just let it fade away

There’s nothing left in the heart
No more tears to cry, no reason to stay
When there’s nothing but memories
And even those begin to fade away

Like the four seasons Spring, Summer
Fall, Winter, each have a role to play
Most generally they know when
It’s their time to fade away

Like the darkness of the hair on my
Head slowly gives into the grey
Everything in life must become extinct
And naturally fade away

Now quietly at 62 I know what I need to do
Like the wood on the dock of the bay
Withered by nature and time I will take
My place in society and just fade away

Faith

   I don’t know if it’s getting older
Something that comes with age
Or if life is like reading a book
And I’ve just turned the page

Maybe it comes with experience’s
Maybe it comes from hearing all the lies
Or just being able to recall the past Angels
And seeing demons with my open eyes

I can see the the Devil at work
With the endless tricks up his sleeve
I can see Jesus and his everyday miracles
And still  there’s people that don’t believe

Feel your heartbeat
Ask yourself how and why
Your life is a miracle with every
Smile and every tear you cry

Everyday we venture out into the
World we encounter worldly scathe
The only way I survive the trials and
And the Devils temptation is by Faith

FALL

     I was living alone
Just trying to survive
Working my life away
Not sure if I wanted to be alive

I’d cry myself to sleep
After I turned out the light
My dreams were absent of color
They were always in black & white

Each day I’d force myself to carry on
Though I never knew why
Time was always in slow motion
As the world just passed me by

Never knowing God’s plan
Living in a dismal reality
Wishing on the brightest Stars
From a distant galaxy

Then I saw your face
And I heard love call
The Angels were singing
And I knew I was gonna FALL

Fallen Angel

     I can feel your pain, I know
And I have secret to tell
This is just between you and me
Not all fallen Angels go to Hell

So if you’re feeling low and you
Think you’ll never see the Dawn
If the darkness has surrounded you
And you feel like you’re the lost one

Just listen to me, I know
If you’re feeling you can’t go on
It hurts so deep inside and
You’re just hurtin for someone

Take my word, I know
If it feels, the pain will never be gone
Just know In your heart you’re
Not the only lonely one

In the shadows between the lines
Hear the echoes and recall
Hear the whispers and know
You’re not the first to fall

No you’re not the first to fall
And you know you won’t be the last
If you want to find love again
You must release your past

Just take some time to unwind
Your broken heart from its tangle
And when you’re ready, just take
The hand of another fallen Angel

Familiar Ghost

    It’s four Am and familiar ghost are haunting me but like a thousand times before
I know that the Sun soon will rise and Kiss the day and my tears and the ghost will fade away. In the middle of the night my sleep gets disturbed, sometimes I can’t put my finger on it and the images are scattered and it’s like a million movies that have been sliced together and it doesn’t make any sense and other times I see it all so clear as if the moment is happening live but I know that it happened so very long ago.
I’m okay and I live a happy blessed life
God is in control but the Devil is persistent and he’ll test my faith every chance he gets and he loves to torment me. So he gets inside my head while I’m sleeping and he releases
The ghost of days gone by and the emotions overwhelm me and the tears flow freely until I wake enough to gather my senses.
I’m able to then realize what is happening
and I can fight the Demons and tell the Devil where he can go.
The promise of tomorrow and it’s light
I know it will conquer the darkness and even if the pain lingers the Devil will never break me now even with his best surprise attack when I least expect it like tonight when I fell  asleep so happy and peaceful with no pain and so far removed from what was before, completely living in the moment of my joy.
So now I await the rising Sun and brush it off like brushing a fresh snow fall from my car.
And deep down I know that I will be reminded of when sorrow sang and I’ll see them again.
Those familiar ghost.

Just wanted to share

Finding Bigfoot

      Call it Bigfoot or Sasquatch or Yeti
Either way it describes a big hairy beast
There’s one thing for sure I know
If he does exist, I wish not to be his feast

Be it Legend or a myth
It still sends a chill down my spine
I shiver thinking of being face to face
My dilemma would be genuine

Why do people go in search of
Is it for their own peace of mind
If the day ever comes to be
We may not like what we find

Are we expecting a hug and a kiss
When we finally find he does exist
I would think he would simply
Just tear us to bits

I think that if I ever did see one
I would try to stealthy leave as pussyfoot
Knowing for sure Sasquatch or Yeti I don’t
Want to be the one finding Bigfoot

Find Your Own Way Home

   I’ve walked through the valley
Of shadows and despair
I’ve been surrounded by darkness
In a world so cold and unfair

I never understood it
And I know I probably never will
But somehow in the chaos and confusion
There came a calmness and still

Over and over it happened, Time and time again and I realized I wasn’t alone
I knew I didn’t have to fight the forces
Of Evil all on my own

So I prayed for guidance so desperately
Needing a new life to begin
I had to come to understand that humans
We’re born to sin

So I asked for forgiveness
And Jesus saved my soul
I had to find my own way home
And trust in letting him take control

So if you’re lost and wondering
Aimlessly as you roam
Reach out for Jesus so you can
Find your own way home

🔥 FIRE🔥

  It’s what we all require
Something to our heart inspire
A longing a real desire
We need fire 🔥

Love making heat bodies perspire
Something to lift us higher
A coming together rectifier

A connection all can admire
A flame that will never expire
We need fire 🔥

And that it stays lit like mine!!!

Forest Of Death
(This poem is based on truth)

     As the Sun rises to kiss the day
The darkness promises to stay
The people live a life mundane
Nothing inside to strengthen or sustain

A London fog forever lingers
In the hearts the chard’s of flinders
Their souls damaged and minds anguished
For so many lives have vanished

In every language the words are burning
And they repeat the same warning
The forest has a power of constraining
Known to be literally life draining

It’s worse than that of cyanide
It whispers to the ear and convinces suicide
Yet many for reasons unknown why
Disregard the signs and walk right on by

The mystery of the forest remains concealed
Theories vary, some say it’s a magnetic field
Some  say it’s the Devil and his evil way
Just another game he loves to play

They come from all around to see its wonder
As if it’s a spell that they’re under
Knowing they could take their last breath
If they enter the forest of death

For Just One Rose

    I live my life as to ways taught
Only as the golden rule
But alone I am and I wonder
If I am but just a fool

I have given my love
For it be thrown in a fire to burn
A thousand of lessons
You’d think I would learn

Yet I know deep inside
There is someone for everyone
So I searched and I prayed to find
My love for life before my life be gone

Now I have found her
Yet I feel myself begin to hesitate
My heart is stopping me
As I question my fate

But in my eyes she is beautiful
I dare to offer my heart, for her to take
If she were to dismiss it
So fragile it would surly break

So in the misty morning,as the sweet
Smell of the dew tickles my nose
I risk the pain of thorns
For just one rose

My response to Addictions by Acme

For The Addicted

    For the addicted there’s no hate
For the addicted there’s sadness
For the addicted there’s anger
For the addicted there’s madness

For the addicted there’s pain
For the addicted wants to die
For the addicted hurts so many
For the addicted our tears we cry

For the addicted though it’s not a disease
For the addicted it was a choice
For the addicted there’s help
For the addicted I utter with devoice

For the addicted Have given up
For the addicted chose not to fight
For the addicted lives in the dark
For the addicted closes their eyes to the light

For the addicted there is shame
And the whole world is afflicted
For the addicted we pray for
God’s Grace for the addicted

Forgive me my views but myself being
A victim of child abuse at the hands of
An alcoholic father mentally and physically
Because he chose his love for alcohol instead
Of his love for his wife and children.
And I know it’s a choice not a disease
Because when my turn came to make the same choice, I chose to love my wife and daughter. And the easy way out for me could have been choosing alcohol or drugs or both because of everything I went through but I CHOSE to fight and not give up on life or myself. God Bless the addicted but you can chose to fight or you can stay addicted and cause more heartache and pain than you will ever realize.

For You

        For you have closed your eyes
For You there’s no more trying
For you have left it all behind
For You there’s no more crying

For You have made your last decision
For You there’s no more pain
For You have forgotten your darkness
For You there’s no more rain

For You took it upon yourself to be selfish
For You there’s no more sorrow
For You there’s no past or future
For You there’s no more tomorrow

For You have nothing you can change
For You there’s no more feelings to hide
For You don’t have a life to live
For You have committed suicide

For You cut everyone out of your life
For You transferred to us your blue
For You took the easy way out
For You, there’s nothing for you

Fragile

         Love is so hard to find
Love is so easy to lose
Love can be so blind
Love can bring the blues

We take the risk and we leap
We give ourselves as we fall
We are cautious and secrets we keep
We can’t reveal it all

Time has left us weary
Time saddens the soul
Time has left us leery
Time has a way to take its toll

Love is what we all desire
Love can steal our heart
Love can light our fire
Love can tear us apart

We know what it is to be broken and lost
Yet our mind fails to be agile
It is reckless with the ultimate cost
For the heart can be so fragile

Free

    I live in America and even with all of its
Problems there’s no where else I’d rather be
It’s one place in the world that’s known
As the land of the brave and free

The following words to all may be controversial but it’s my decree
Jesus is the answer and the only way
If you truly wish to be free

Jesus is the new covenant,he eliminates the
Temptation of the forbidden fruit tree
Jesus takes the chains that bind us in
The ******* of laws and breaks us free

His sacrifice makes the laws of the ten
Commandments just useless debris
Did I just type these words, am I insane
What do I know about being free

Does this mean that I can **** and steal
And commit sins like adultery
Am I now a Neanderthal running in
The wild crazy naked and free

Absolutely not and just the opposite, so
I know if I were to fall upon a scree
Believing in Jesus takes away my fear
Of my failure and it sets me free

My imperfections I know that I will always have and my value is like that of a bawbee
But Jesus love’s me unconditionally and
That knowledge truly sets me free

I don’t need the laws that show me the sins
I’m not to commit because I have the key
I believe in Jesus and that he died to give
It to me to open the lock and get free

I don’t have the temptation of a child
To sneak in the night to get the cookies
I don’t know how much more simple I can
Make it so you can understand being free

The laws tell us what we shouldn’t do but
They also tempt us I’m sure you agree
You know right from wrong but with the
Laws one cannot truly be free

The old covenant was the laws and it once
Had purpose but God could see
No matter how hard we tried to abide
We would fail and couldn’t be free

So he sent us Jesus as our savior and I
Wish I could put it in lights on a Marquee
His love is for all of mankind and it’s
Strong enough to set us all free

Friend

      Some men come from nothing
But they can still be a friend
I’d take a bullet for you
And I’d bleed until the bitter end

I’m no Angel but I’d face the
Hurricane and the driving rain
And I would not back down from a
Fight with the murdering brother Cain

If we were stranded in the desert
Wilting in the blistering heat
I’d give you the last of the water
As I lay dying at your feet

Once there was a time I was drinking the
Whiskey and Rye, I began to drown
I wasn’t the person I am today and I
Thought the Devil wore the Crown

I’m a born sinner and that’s a fact
I still love my Rock & Roll
But came an Angel from Heaven above
To save my mortal soul

Now I know Jesus wears the crown
And I’ll fight the enemy and never bend
I’m proud of the man I’ve become
And I’m proud to call you Friend

Fringe Of Lunatics

    It’s a typical fall day with an
Overcast sky and a crisp breeze
There’s a sprinkle of rain falling
As well as leaves from the trees

I’m ready for some football
But my Saturdays are camouflaged
There’s now political agendas and
My entertainment has been sabotaged

The outside world has penetrated
With the noise of great measures
It’s robbed me of a way of life
And it’s ruined one of my few pleasures

A United strength and togetherness
Is hanging on a weakened hinge
Of all the many ways we were to fall
I’d never imagine at the hands of the fringe

Fighting among ourselves, it’s obvious
This is the Devil and his bag of tricks
Who would have thought it would end
By the deceived Fringe Of Lunatics

Front Line

   We don’t have the evidence if this
COVID-19 Was an accident or deliberate
But the fact remains that it is real
And it is able to mutate

So this is not technically called a war
There’s no Bombs or Bullets flying
But all over the world, reports are coming
In with thousands of people are dying

We hear China talking but we all
Know that they are lying
And quickly we have a Pandemic
And the world is crying

The numbers could be astronomical
And I don’t want to sound like a manic
I am not writing this to cause chaos
And certainly I don’t want to cause panic

But I do want to stress, in these times
Well I’ll put it like this
I want you all to stay home
Stay calm and listen to KISS

Seriously though it is getting scary
And it’s not something anyone would pine
But here we are the people in health care
Standing on the front line

Frozen In Time

   Full speed ahead into the future
But the future spells disaster
For the past is catching up
And it seems to be moving faster

The Civil War pitted brother against
Brother and father against son
So many families destroyed and so many
Lives lost when it was all said and done

Recent events shows that the Devil
Is yet again up to his ***** deeds
How easily we humans are deceived
In our minds he plants his hatred seeds

And the future is whisked into the past
Is there nothing we can learn
Now they want to erase history
Riot and watch their cities burn

Our present is hanging in limbo
Hear Hells Bells as they Chime
In space our world turns
But it’s frozen in time

Ghost Shadow

    I’m a ghost shadow, that which
You see out of the corner of your eye
I’m a ghost shadow it’s like having
Truth but the truth is a lie

I’m a darkness that follows you
I’m a question without an answer why
I’m the reason for your sadness
That makes you want to cry

I’m the never ending madness
That’s driving you insane
And with everything you lose
It becomes my gain

I’m a ghost shadow like a constant chill
And I’m always near
I’m a ghost shadow I’m the reason
For your unnerving fear

I’m a ghost shadow, I’m calling your
Name and you can’t deny
I’m a ghost shadow, the shiver down
Your spine when know your gonna die

I’m always gonna be with you
Wherever you may go
You know you can never escape me
I’m your Ghost Shadow

On XBOX ONE I am Ghost Shadow
Lol 😂

Give Me Death

      So it shall be written
So it shall be done
Here I am stuck on a planet
With nowhere to run

I’ve got no device for escape, this calls
For more than a bottle of cold gin
So it is written, time is coming to an
End but I didn’t wanna see it begin

It’s the year twenty, twenty we should
Be living in a world of peace and light
But instead we’re divided and living
In a world of turmoil in our darkest night

We’re in a constant fight and soon we’ll
Listen to the Swan as she sings
As long as we let ourselves be Marionettes
And let the media pull the strings

As for me I don’t wish to live in this world
With the fighting and political shibboleth
Give me back my world and learn to love
Or you can simply give me death

God Is Crying

      With his voice, it began
Out of the darkness, there was light
He was happy with his creation, when it
Was finished, it was beautiful in his sight

All he wants for us is to love, if you
Listen you can hear his still small voice
He loves us so much so that his love
Is not forced, it’s still our choice

Now as he looks down and sees so many
Are so consumed in hate and people dying
His heart is breaking in two as it fills
With pain and know that God is crying

How can a soul, anyone with a heart
Think that it’s right and find it gratifying
To riot and burn and **** in any rage
Without remorse, know God is crying

No one knows what is right as the Devil
Deceives so well and finds it satisfying
Pitting us all against each other
All the while he knows God is crying

We cannot see what is beyond the surface
The bigger picture of the evil underlying
The media has told so many lies, the truth
Is lost forever and know that God is crying

With each day that passes, the words
And the images become more horrifying
The fire down below now burns in the
Heart of man and know God is crying

People I pray please open your eyes
To all the signs that are notifying
From up above he grieves
Yes know that God is crying

In the end of days, evil will be called good
And good be called evil, so terrifying
So it is written and so it shall be done
And know that God is crying

God They’ve Rejected


    The Sun rises and kisses the day
And the Moon rises in the night
The Sun shines it’s light of love onto
The Moon and so it too has a light

We all have a light given to us and
All we have to do is choose to let it shine
The world keeps getting darker
And it’s breaking this heart of mine

I pray for all the lost souls
And the prayer is to change their destiny
To give their hearts to God
And release themselves from Devilry

It’s a well known fact of life
That life as a human, for all of us will end
The question is where will our souls go
Will they descend or will they ascend

Know that Hell is not full because souls
Were by God not accepted
But Hell  is full with souls because
It’s God they’ve rejected

Goodbyes

      The first comes with the loss of your
Innocence in your walk of life
When you realize that love
Can cut you like a knife

When you’re no longer Naive
And not so willing to trust
And you wonder how many times you
Can get knocked down into the dust

When your heart breaks because
You have to leave your love behind
When you think that love again is
Something you’ll never find

And again when someone you love
Passes away and you drown in sorrow
These are the times when you wonder
If the Sun will rise tomorrow

Living life can be so wonderful but it can
Also drain all the tears from your eyes
Over time through the passing years as
We come face to face with all the goodbyes

Good Ole  DR HOOK

      It’s no secret, I love Rock & Roll
I listen to QFM Ninety Six
They play Iconic Rock and so I
Hear Bands like AC/DC and Styx

I love hearing Boston and Tom Petty
And many such artists as this
The list is almost endless and it really
Makes me smile when I hear KISS

Alice Cooper and Def Leopard
Also fit in with all the rest
And let’s not forget Rush and Led
Zeppelin whom also pass the test

But I’ve mentioned before that music
Is my Mistress and she soothes my soul
And that means I listen to it all
Not just my favorite Rock & Roll

Sometimes I need Jim Croce and Bread
I’ve got Jesus and I’ve got the Good Book
And I can always rely on England Dan and
John Ford Coley and Good Ole DR HOOK

Government Experiment

The flu is real, COVID—19 Is real
And so is Cancer and MD
and so many other things that
Can harm either you or me

As we move forward into the future
Life isn’t a candy stick of peppermint
Please know that all the rest was
Just a government Experiment

Greed

  In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our quality
We started making it cheaper
And quicker to sell more quantity

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our pride
We took our production over seas
We let everything slide

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our values in our brothers
Now we’re in a position that we
Have to depend on others

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced made in the USA
To make America great again
There’s just one thing I can say

In America, we need to take it over,
Bring it all back, that’s what we need
No more Mexico no more China and one
Last thing, no more greed

Green Depression

   Just like with my Buckeyes, I’m an
Eagles fan and I wear my heart on my sleeve
Now here I am waking up to a blue Monday
In shock from a disaster I can’t believe

I know that I sound crazy sometimes
When I talk about conspiracy theory
And I know that I put people off
And make them feel a little weary

But please understand that’s the passion
If you truly know me, you know I’m all in
Jesus, Wife, Family, Buckeyes, KISS,
Friends,Eagles and I wanted them to win

The State Farm connection I needed
For everyone to see,
It was played in the State Farm Stadium
And the spokesperson is the QB of KC

But I’m not really a crazy person
There’s no need to be afraid of me
The bottom line is an Eagles fumble gave
The Chiefs a TD and the Eagles had no D

So here I am on this Blue Monday
With no way to let out my aggression
And I can’t seem to fight my way out
Of my severe case of Green Depression

Happy Birthday Jesus ❤️❤️❤️

Hard Rain Fallin

    I know you don’t love me anymore
But I don’t know your reasons why
I know I’ll drown without you
I can’t swim in the tears you cry

I know I’m losing you
My life is slowly slipping away
I’m reaching for something to hold on to
My blue sky is turning grey

My heart is breaking
I just wanna scream
I once believed in love
But love is just a dream

Love might as well be just
A Drop of water in an endless sea
A heart even in its mass is just
Broken and useless debris

If you say goodbye
I won’t come back crawlin
I’m not ready for departure and
I’m not ready for the Hard Rain Fallin

Have You Ever

      Have you ever, I wanna know
Lost yourself in a moment of pleasure
Taken the time to kneel before Jesus
And allow yourself to be a confessor

Have you ever just watched a Butterfly
Fluttering and floating in the air
Taken the time to give your love and
Truly let someone know you care

Have you ever felt a gentle Kiss
On the lips, cheek or chin
Taken a minute to go skinny dipping
Just to feel nature upon your skin

Have you ever been vulnerable enough
To open your heart and let someone in
Taken the time to laugh at a stupid joke
Or just smile or give a quick grin

Have you ever held a tiny life
In the palm of your hand
Taken hold of a baby, a kitten or puppy
If so than surely you understand

Have you ever, just come to realize
Oh no you don’t have to be that clever
Taken the time to observe the miracles
Of God,so tell me Have You Ever
