We Miss You
We miss you so much but can't tell you so
We known when God called you had to go
But that doesn't ease the tears that flow
You inspired me more than you'll ever know

I'm glad you knew...

Where have all the heroes gone
In this nation facing war
Do you have faith in government now
You reap what you sew, no more.

A mother waits for the return of her son
A father is waiting for the war to be done
A son is praying for his Dad...

Once the Tables Have Turned
You may be sitting high and mighty now my friend 
but you will not always be 
for your unearned happiness will one day end 
should you live long enough, you'll definitely see. 
Your only interests in life is having fun 
you're the life of the...

Tight End
Beatin' this path 'til my heart stop
cause any moment my heart. could. stop.
Swear any day my chest might pop
So sit tight, bout to open up shop
Call this the English chop shop, loppin' slop
'til I'm atop the top makin' rounds, spinning top
slap you sops, I mean...

The Runner
The runner, lonely in his stead, does go
both feet a cumbered patter, sure and long
with weight his countenance will not bestow

against the heavy breaker's undertow.
As rival sinews, breath and bone hold strong
the runner, lonely in his stead, does go.

His pendulum-like legs reap as they sew...

The Changing Planet
The Changing Planet


As hope and humility conquers all
Pride goes before a fall
So pick up your booth straps, tighten your belt
For this world will experience something that it has never felt

The Earth will rumble and shake
And there will be volcanoes and many a quake
Waters of the...

The Lamest Legend
Because of what society has said
For the reason that there is no because
In light of what once was problematic
The fairness tragic. The drunkard sober.
The numberless inmate dares to say, "free".
A diseased harlot weakness fails to see
One careless mistake is done purposeful
Love nervousness makes vertically challenged
Words...

Insight
We are all but a blink of life.
In a universe far older than we will ever truly know.
In this world full of greed and materialism.
We all reap what we sew.
For those given wealth and commonplace in life 
Will be no different than the person next...

Shattered
Shattered…
That song, those words beginning at the start
Cutting you to the quick, tearing through your heart
Ripping every essence of your soul apart
That writer seen your vulnerability, looked around your head, then read your thoughts you 
had there in your mind
As you sit there listening to...

Warriors Need Us
Warriors need us

b>A Baptist,
Or an artist?
A murderer,
Or a protector?
A savior,
Or most definitely a WARRIOR?
Warriors are most known for all,
But for you they still walk tall.
They die and bleed for us,
All of us who live in the U.S.
Yet we try to make them fall,
To make them...

Karma
Your actions determine your fate - Karma
You reap what you sew - ecology
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction – physics
Do onto others and you would have done onto you – religion
This moment is all you control – reality

Crossroads
Crossroads
A man that cries alone is a man that dies alone
Living life through the words of a heart filled song
The heart beats to the rhythm of the soul which is hard to contain
The feeling of lost and rejection never can be maintained
If I should die...

Hate You Now
I saw the news today

I'd like to know what the hell you're trying

I want to find away

to silence you, and stop all the dying

You think you're above the law

You'll send to die just as many as you want to

Damnedest thing I ever saw

the mess you've...
