Story Telling
Anticipatory overtones of indiscretion
Summoning the spare change of society
To rise up above normality
And to….
Super sonic microfilms of history
Telling a different story
A time when things were black and white
Preserved forever to a disk
Word <> spoken splices the audience
Full of eagerness and personality
Piercing each cerebellum
Downward to their heart
Nothing like the monotony of times past
Somewhat *****
Examining the inner scope
Kaleidoscoptically
Pierced nations of young hooligans
Dancing the night away
To a beat that doesn’t change
And loving it
Sticks make the stickular
Drums make the drumular
Pipes make the pipular
Cymbals make symbolism
Searching for fulfillment
In what we think will work
Hoping to chase the right road
But there is no right road
Life is just what it says
-Life-
Four letters put together one day
To explain or not explain everything
Giving us something to search for
And find true meaning
Trying to be the one
Who figured it out!
Giving us an outlet
An outlet for our minds to focus
No focus
-Dead-
Life definitely tricky at times
Not always what is expected
Maybe always the same
Day after day
The days go by and life lives on
Understanding the understandable
Not knowing why
But accepting
Taking the good with the bad
And moving forward
To me, that’s the most important part
Moving forward
Maybe I’m just a cowboy
Searching for new influences
Something that will make my art fresh
New, for lack of a better word
All that art really is
Something to look at
Make us think for a minute
And move on
Going back occasionally to reflect
Think about a moment in your life
Compare it to where you are now
Hopefully happy with the choice
