Dreams can be a nightmare
When at night you go to sleep
They can haunt you in the daytime too
Pray your soul to keep
But take them for what they are
The psyche branching out
Night terrors can occur as well
They make you scream and shout
There's nothing in the darkness
That's not present in the light
Remember that and don't you fear
Spirits tuck you in tonight.





.

I will give to you,
the benefit of the doubt
But I am jaded.

Tasted the tears of regret
Touched the softness of a newborns skin
Saw vices steal a man's life
Heard the sparrows song at dusk.
Smelled the rotting flesh of death.

Dreams can comfort you
One minute alone and scared
Next, in someone's arms.

The old photos
Of a smiling you and me
Were not meant to be.

Freedom came hard
A stroke of the pen seals it
We the people thrive.

Time is like a politician
talking out of both sides of its mouth
First it is devoted to you
Then it's heading south
The hands of time are rude
They're giving you the finger
Maybe you'll be dead tomorrow
Maybe you will linger
In short, time will not be chased
It will move at its own pace
Like the rabbit gets complacent ,
and the tortoise wins the race.
