"sids" poems
On your crucifixtion day, take a gift from me
It didn’t cost a cent, I made it all for free
You’ll love it like you did Mary Magdaline
A small glimpse of the world after you go off and die for sin
I’m a man of words, I hope you’ll stick around
You don’t have a choice, those nails are in there pretty sound
As you’re dying of dehydration and hematadrosis
Know that now in court, people blame you for their psychosis
A father hears a voice tells him to **** his kid
You’re responsible for more infant deaths than SIDS
Another man fills a pipe with nails; a clinic up in flames
And the inspiration derives from your holy name
The Holy Crusades, now that’s a delight
Did you know they actually sent children to fight?
It’s true, and in your name no less
I’ll tell you right now, it was not a success
They next denied the holocaust
But never you think all is lost
They’re right on board with marrying gays
Oh wait, I messed up that last phrase
I don’t think you fathom the harm to come
The damage that’s done because you’re the son
Of the holy god, my former employer
Before I was keeper of killers and lawyers
Heres some advice, take it from me
You’re wasting your time, get off that tree
Get down, and have a long talk with your father
Tell him **** ‘em all, and next time try harder.”

bottle on the floor
and im spinning
laugh
one more night
to ******* and sinning
we all dance and eat drink and smoke mary
times havent changed and youre all scary
most you pathetic neanderthals couldnt raise a kid
still **** as if you didnt your offspring would have sids
she says who wears a ****** anyway?
while her water breaks six months before graduation day
righteous are the ones holding that book
but most those mother ******* forgot the path they took
we all have been there
says the mother before prayer
break that bread as those poor people stare
homeless are the ones who got greedy
but if god doesnt, then who will feed thee
its damaging to children if they sit too close to the tv
but who taught to turn it on and watch instead of sing like glee
my grandma showed me the guitars
me and cousin fake wanted to be rock stars
id sell everything including my cars
just to have someone sample my bars

There once was a lady,
Who sat for seven years.
She sat by herself,
Her eyes filled with tears.
There once was a lady,
Who sat for seven years,
She sat by herself,
Where spiders made webs from her ears.
There once was a lady,
Who sat for seven years,
Thinking of her husband,
Who used to drink many beers.
There once was a lady,
Who sat for seven years,
Recollecting the day,
To life came all her fears.
There once was a lady,
Who was once very glad.
She was overwhelmed,
With everything she had.
There once was a lady,
Who wanted to have kids.
She was so happy on that day,
Until she found her son had SIDS.
There once was a lady,
Who was so filled with grief.
Her husband left her,
To her utter disbelief.
There once was a lady,
Who sat for seven years.
She sat by herself,
Her eyes filled with tears.

When I was a teen,
I went to school like any other kid,
Struggling over acne I can't rid,
Lifting weights so my weight was hid,
Pivoted on a group of friends,
Who never knew what words end,
So when they ripped on a kid whose sister died of sids,
I stood back and watch this kid's world end.
I tried to help, confiding with him,
Taking the time to let him know I was with him,
Giving him the heads up of what the others were going to do,
And made sure his hellish world a little less blue.
But I was afraid thanks to this hollywood lies of popularity,
As though being hated was so frowned upon,
When being hated meant bearing a heart.
Don't get me wrong,
I never really did ever grow strong,
But I was mixed in with the wrong crowd,
As though insults to injury made people proud,
And a cigarette in your fingers meant you're well endowed.
I didn't really fit in myself,
They would say things like,
No one would put you on a pedestal cause you'll break the shelf,
But the only thing that ever broke was my self esteem.
Broken bones and bruises came and go,
But the words that they preached to me is all I know,
So when I was sober at a show,
They fed me with alcohol and told me to party more,
Looking around surrounded by guys treating girls like ******
And people who saw hearts and souls as toys and objects.
But I had a brittle voice never able to speak clear enough to object,
And when the school found out my father had died,
The jokes never ended at body image jokes, and all I did was sigh.
They shunned down on intellect,
Like if you were smart "go eat an insect".
They wore it on their shoulder with pride,
Of how they never once ever did hide,
And they were cool because they made a person,
feel "rekt".
So the words they tried to preach,
And the lessons they tried to teach,
Was you aren't cool enough if you aren't perfect,
But the real lesson instilled in me, was that I was perfect.
They hid behind hidden cameras,
Taking photos of torture and suffering,
Like they were engaged to it.
They were no better than me,
They had their own burdens but mine they couldn't carry,
So as tales are told, I learnt....
The weaker you are, the more strength you have got to show.

there are so many ways
you could have ended
spontaneous abortion
SIDS
childhood meningitis
drowning
forgetting to look both ways
gun accident
gun on purpose
car wreck
overdose
domestic homicide
war
Death came pretty close
before your eyes were even open
Don’t let the only killer you can control
get the best of you
***** you lived!
Don’t let your mind **** you

Histories Mystery
Lost in the past a life known to few covered by new souls who did not know their true roles
She never made a plan blind to a future she could not scan, ways of life not always pastel and paisley
Was her howl the only one that day, how much the cost for penance paid, SIDS or SUDEP still unknown acronyms
Was it the sandman or monster under the bed, was left as mystery to me, secret family history
Did her last caress fade to black, soul left in silence, hidden grief no relief, left alone blind to life's challenges
After the Four Horsemen deliver their message nothing else matters, angel of death laughing at her misery
Secret soul like a fly on a wall but a White elephant in the room no one spoke of those unseen, left to ponder if Mom ever wondered about the lost narratives
I was told to LIVE for today, You're living your some-days today and tomorrow, left alone with no memory does not define synergy
Left in the dark, No new light of that night, Mangled memory did she always feel Unforgiven? Mom's secret left without answers
Alone we were left to Ride The Lightening, full of energy and unique but always that internal mystique, Her actions mercy left as fodder for the antagonists
She never came clean of what was seen leaving a lifelong question but there would be no ME without Rick Lee.
