Away From Home

Away from home
These many years I spent alone
In this place worse than the devil's dome
Quickly rising to the apex of my life's cone
Living the struggle of another; a clone
Weakened to the marrow of the strongest bone
 
Why today I am here,
I do not know
In the future where
The crystal ball does not show
But on and on I persevere
In any direction my fate does blow
 
In this state I do no longer have a close peer
Because all consider me to be queer
Every day imbibing gallons of beer
My misery arousing in men the emotion of fear
For their insignificant lives they hold dear
Their only concern with today when the end is so plain near
 
I have to go back
To where the growth of my self shall not slack
Oh surely there in my true home I shall not lack
And by truth I shall remain tack
Yeah and never again play quack
To find favor in hearts clouded black

Wretched Old Rat

He told a story, it was about you
Though his words did not sound true
Your reputation, however, people will misconstrue
If you do not act to disprove
The venomous lies he spat
That wretched old rat
Blinder than a bat
That will not earn a sniff from a cat
Yet there he sat
His voice very loud in the shade of a night cloud
His features under the light old 
With his voice vibrating with the night’s cold
His skin dried and withered
And with each word his bones shivered
Yet there he sat
That wretched old rat
Convincingly playing his part
Through to the end from start
Spewing blasphemy his way
Not caring whether night or day
Even his best friends he will betray
For the least silver any man can pay
That wretched old rat
Blinder than a bat
Not altogether smart
In fact, unforgivably daft
Gorging filth out of his mouth
Around the world north east west and south
His lies bringing empires to naught
Turning domestic arguments into international bouts 
That wretched old rat
That will not earn a sniff from a cat
Spinning deceit into the past
With every breath till his last
Exaggerating every simple error
Consciously creating terror
That wretched old rat
Don’t dare set him a trap
Cos a miss will earn you a verbal slap
In fact, they will flow like a broken tap
That wretched old rat
Blinder than a bat
That will not earn a sniff from a cat
His time soon will come

Keeping Faith

I cannot boast of a life of piety

But always I try to do my duty 

To myself and to all life

Yet no matter my strife

Every day I am feeling sore

Broken to the core

From emotional starvation  

With no promise of salvation

Each and every day

To God always I pray

With hope for an answer

The hope of a man with a cancer

Malignant and incurable

But keeping faith for a miracle

Love At First Sight

Before today me and you, we've never met

But I feel connected to you; on that I can bet

Because I look and I don’t see a strange girl

But rather a priceless pearl

And I want her all to myself

To be kept in my heart on a special shelf

I just won’t let you go

Oh hell no

Not until I tell you all about how I feel

Till you fathom how much it is real

It is not like any feeling I've ever felt

I looked into your eyes and with emotions I welt

I've disputed but now I know they are right

This is LOVE at first sight

It Hurts

That all the people in my life do not love me
That they only tolerate me
That as long as I am useful they will have me 
That I am only a means to an end for them
That everything is all about them
That they are around because I have something to offer them
That they only fake their emotions
That they don't give a damn about my emotions
That they will not accept I have limitations 
That all they are interested in is what I have to share
That upon all I do they still don’t care
That in this life my fate depends only on how I can fare
That none of their smiles are for real
That all I have with them is an 'I will please u' deal
IT HURTS
