I know life matters
except road splatters
and children eaten
and cruelly beaten
blood and tears
rivers of fears.

We're all strangers to everyone.
Married are both in bed strangers.
My mind is mine alone locked away
from every soul floats from dangers.
Fantasy sets fire to my fierce heart
throbbing for a stranger on the bus
who makes me hard in diesel dreams
I enter your Eden for both of us.

I'm old and play
my final hand.
No words to say.
Silence the band.
Show me the way
hold my bone hand
on judgement day.

I was so tanned
ocean salt hair
wind blown sand
prisoner's stare
I bled into a wave
sharks showed teeth
guards dug my grave.
My heart I bequeath.

Folks are butchered like meat
in buckets overflow with blood.
Friends and family might defeat
the Chinese Communist flood.
Greed bought America's core.
Billionaires bought God's soul.
Like pirates from a long time
ago they stole Him whole.

Runner's High

The first time was sanctified
forever after was mystified
I'm still running until I died.
Bury me with my Nike's.
