"Placebo - Part 1"


Deals with God?
I don’t think that is possible.
Depends what cards you’re playing with
and what the trade off is
do you bluff? or 
play it safe and lose all your tricks?

Let’s talk about SIN, 
it sounds delicious 
but once swallowed
it comes out just like...

"Placebo - Part 2"



There’s little sins and HUGE SINS
Little mistakes, possibly forgiveable.
HUGE MISTAKES, HUGE SINS?
That’s a different kind of metronome
marking time over a head, while
a recidivist waits for his deal with God.

You ask those little girls and boys 
who are divested of their childhood,
their pure...

I have prayed,and prayed hard, for the deaths of 2 people. Lest you think me a criminal, an explanation: one was my mother-in-law, a frail 89 yr. old who had a bad fall. Her organs were already failing after almost 10 years on dialysis and...

And so it came to be..
Startling realisation,
It was not as it seemed.

Making you re-peat everything over and over again
Just a broken record
Feel like the real deal mental patient
Because you have no patcients
Do you want my autogragh?
Would others just feel intimidated
If they were to posses such power in insightful thinking?
Or would they not give two cents?
Are you...

Dispicable me
Need I not say
Just learn to play the game
Hit one out of the park
Now living in the 18th century in the dark
Being forced to use your imagination again
Do you wish for quality or quanity?
Nothings cured...
It can only be managed
So you go to your legal...

So what is prayer? I have prayed for health, safety, even death for those terminally ill to spare them suffering. Am I selfish in this? I suppose, but life itself is selfish: life wants always to live, propagate itself, have more and more life. A...

Does prayer work? Or is it merely the placebo effect when things get better?Your mind convinces itself you are feeling better and you do. Your brain stimulates the immune system, helps fight off infection or repress cancer and none of it is owing to supernatural...

The will of God, e'er take
me to my knees,
your Spirit, so astringent
cleansing, free!

Ne'er given to imply
a church of greed
attendance, and deny
as fate takes fee!

What is the Godly why
where the decree
in Gospels wrenching cry
wanderings spree!

With Hope our mind's comply
Christ's heart receive
in apathy's restraint
placebos flee!...

you bite your tongue
and hope he's wrong
you hope he's wrong
you pull your hair
in your despair

for once something is harder
than the rock that you've lived under
and your mental disorder
you and your mind in your man-made borders

he's not the cure for your sickness
just a disease disguised as...

You think sugarcoated pill

and, nah, you can't fool me

Imagine, not that there is no

sky above us - but - travel

at the speed of conversation

you talk about walking to the shop

and - there you are.

Imagine, a second and third heaven

purer and purer as you move

through the...

Why
are
Marines
and Army
Soldiers fighting in
Afghanistan and
Iraq, against the Taliban and the Al Qaida
Against an enemy who hides in the mountains,who once ruled by intimidation
We are not winning these wars, we are merely a placebo,being injected into an infection
of radicals, when will it end...

The pill of life is colored green.
If swallowed only with caffeine
it stirs strange tics that last the night.
During this time you sweat a bit
and wallow 'round a hellish pit.
So when at last from sleep you "wake"
you pray the Lord your soul to take.

The pill of...

Hope is not just a tranquilizer, 
It's a placebo
To keep you alive
Till the doctor comes!
Never you lose hope, never!

Hope is not just an opium,
When the chips are down, 
Hope is that part of you
That keeps you alive
It keeps you looking at the brighter side!

Problems are...
