Best Hitz Poems


Giving Thanks

Thanks for the mood this world put me in.
 Thanks for the wars, the corruption, and sin.
 Thanks for collapsing the market with greed.
 Thanks for the stress... for the ulcers that bleed.

Thanks for pretending everything is just fine.
 Thanks for the forclosures, and the miserable times.
 Thanks for relaxing, while riding our backs.
 Thanks for the gas prices, and charging us tax.

Thanks for the lies, and the cries of false hope.
 Thanks for the junkies, and supplying their dope.
 Thanks for the children who have nothing to eat.
 Thanks for the subjects, who bow at your feet.

Thanks for the credit that you took away.
 Thanks for the resession, now I can't pay.
 Thanks for all the oil spills, and the greenhouse effect.
 Thanks for dropping the dime on the National debt.

Thanks for the tension, and all of the drama. 
 Thanks for your actions that spawned the bad karma.
 Thanks for betraying the trust that was built. 
 Thanks for laying upon us the unneeded guilt.

Thanks for sturring up trouble with one swift kick.
 Thanks for drawing the curtain before your big trick.
 Thanks for leaving us all with egg on our face.
 Thanks for disturbing the vibe, and invading our space.

Broken Dreams

They said it was just a passing fad
Dark clouds continue to stay
You have to take the good with the bad
But the bad just won't go away

They tell you to live the American dream
And fight for that dream at all cost
But now we all live the American scheme
Too many dreams have been lost

It cost an arm and a leg for a tank of gas
And people are losing their jobs
Lay it all on the line to borrow more cash
But there are already too many scars

So open your eyes oh say can you see
Is this the American way
No home can be saved and nothing is free
And our dreams have been all swept away

Without a Doubt

Without the silence
There would be no screams
Without the nightmares
There would be no dreams

Without the pleasure
There would be no pain
Without the sunshine
There would be no rain

Without the palms
There would be no grease
Without the wars
There would be no piece

Without the bombs
There would be no youth
Without the lies
There would be no truth

Pretty Poison

You're a twelve step program
You're the weak amongst the strong
Avoid the intervention
'Cause you know you don't belong

You're one bad habit
One that's really hard to break
It's time to draw the line
For another line to take

You're a bad hangover
Snort a bushel and a peck
It makes the hair stand up
On the back of your neck

You're a dirty pin cushion
Need a shot to ease the pain
Can't feel the pretty poison
Is it taken all in vain

You're a proud pill popper
You're a bottle on a shelf
Just fade away in memories
As you slowly kill yourself

Mother of Mine

She's the giver of life
She's the queen of hearts
She's a one woman band 
Who played all the parts

She's the gleam in your eye
She's a bright sunny day 
She's the voice of reason
When life runs astray

She's a shoulder to cry on
She's a well needed hug
She's the keeper of kindness
And unconditional love

She's a guardian angel
She's a heavenly soul
And she's loved in our hearts
More then she'll ever know

Questions From the Heart

Do you miss the way I loved you?
Are you missing how I feel?
We are the broken hearted
Who's hearts will never heal

Is your regret so overwhelming
That it consumes you lonely days?
Does your head fill up with memories?
Is it comfy where it lays?

Do you miss the way I touched you?
Are you yearning for your love?
You never finished what you started
And this loneliness is tough

So will you kiss me while you hold me
When you see me in your dreams?
'Cause now I'm just a fantasy
In someone's head in Queens

Pride and Joy

One is very open minded
 And one is a little shy
 But if you try at night
 And the price is just right
 You can buy some Pride and Joy


And when your feeling lonely
 They're something to enjoy
 It's always much better
 when you get them together
 Love feeling my Pride and Joy

We can play at my place
 We'll just have to keep down the noise
 I'll give Joy a great ride
 While I swallow my pride
 I'm consumed by my Pride and Joy

Well my rhyme is almost over
 But before I say goodbye
 Just give them a try
 They'll bring a tear to your eye
 Overwhelmed by my Pride and Joy

Road Rash

Race up and down life's highway
No stopping to pay any toll
Just livin' it up in the fast lane
Spiraling out of control

Don't hit the breaks keep moving
Take it as far as you can go
Might need a boost of high octane
Won't stop 'til your engine is blown

Get it in gear to get off soon
Don't think you can find your way home
Your lost and you're running on empty
And you're riding life's highway alone

Slowing down 'cause there's too many detours
After a while it just starts to get old
hope you get off the right exit
Before you get stuck on the side of the road

Tit For Tat

An eye for an eye
A lie for a truth
A song for a sigh
A note for a groove

A line for a page
A pen for some ink
A light for a stage
A show for a drink

An app for an age
A web for a site
A chart for a gage
A gig for a bite

A kiss for a chance
A tongue for a taste
A deuce for a dance
A catch for a phrase

Daddy Dearest

Threw away your family values
Took away my mother's pride
Could've been a better person
You spread your seed before you died

All you had to do was be there
But you were never there at all
Instead you spent most of your life
With drugs and alcohol

I remember all the heartache
All those nights my mother cried
While you were out with so called friends
Out to get some satisfied

In the end you turned out worthless
A homeless dying bum
We'll both never know how it feels
To be a father and a son

Jibberish

Throw me down a life line
'Cause mine is getting too short
All tangled up give me some slack
Warn out from the battles I fought

Lend you my ear for persuasion
A good soul is so hard to find
THAT PAINFUL ANNOYING CONTANT DRIP
Is driving me out of my mind

Hold up my head above water
It feels like I'm starting to drown
You'll find that I burned all my bridges
I finally burned them all down

So lift me up with a notion
And show me the path I should take
Give me love understand my affliction
And tell me it's never too late

Ode To Kevro's

Put your hand in mine
Take a walk through my rhyme
Catch a cool vibe just relax

There's a place I know
Where the artisans go 
To a quaint little bar by the tracks

It's where the misfits of art 
Perform with such heart
And nobody feels out of place

And then Renda Writer
Sits down beside ya'
To tell you, you got what it takes

Creativity's felt
Come and feel for yourself
Come sing, or recite, or just play

Cause every artisan knows
When they come to Kevro's
The poets will blow them away

Inviting

Take my hand come fly with me 
Come dance on the moon and the stars
They're playing our song on mandolins
And strumming their little guitars

Come sail with me we'll take to the sea
I promise it'll be worth your while
Tap into your soul as I gaze in your eyes
To bring back that beautiful smile

Come live out your dreams your fantasies
Come meet me on top of cloud nine
There's nowhere on earth you'd rather be
There's no better feeling you'll find

We'll just lay back on a silky breeze
And let our temptations run wild
The longer you stay the better it is
You'll leave with a permanent smile

Broken Bits

Take a piece of this lonely heart
Dust it off for a brand new start
I give to you the only part that bleeds

Pump it up all full of love
Lonely hearts don't get enough
Hold on to it and give it what it needs

So sit with me and have a few
I bet you're feeling lonely too
Slip right through another lonesome day

Tell me that we'll keep in touch
Only so it won't hurt as much
When you decide to take it all away

I think I'm better off alone
You'd think by now I should've known
I'm dishing out another dose of pain

All busted up in broken bits
All tangled up in loneliness
Don't think that I will ever be the same

A Real Hard Life

It's been a real hard life
It's been a heavy load
I watched it all unwind
Down this winding road
But if I had to do it over, I'd probably do it the same

I'm at the point where it all seems so pointless
I'm at the stage where the curtain starts to fall
I hide behind the walls inside my fortress
And I don't see any fight in me at all

And if I could make it all right
If I had a second chance
I'd make my star shine bright
And I'd forgive my past
And when I leave this life, you'd all remember my name

But I'm at the point where it all just seems pointless
I'm at the stage where the curtain starts to fall
I hide behind the walls inside my fortress
And I don't see any fight in me at all
