Lou Reed , Mistral of his time
     so you walked this road on the wild side
     unique in music , never selling out 
     believing in Art instead of commercialize

Plea of the 'Bruised Reed' 

 On my knees; my head low
What to say I don't know
Can not speak yet it seems
though no words my heart screams 

But that's the sound you hear
more than a word spoke clear 
Each tear rings as stirred chimes
Each one...

Hollow Reed

 
My problem with a hollow reed
Is that, through its emptiness,
‘Nother man pipes his own creed
To promote his own business!

When I feel persecuted and totally on my own-
I pray to God, who sits upon the Holy Throne.

Every fear and problem I have, I send to God alone-
Because He is the foundation, the true corner stone.

Therefore, no matter what might happen, I will succeed-
Because I...

I never knew I could love so much.
Horizons opened the day you came squirming
Into my out of myself.

 Pride

They say it's deadly
But I can't help it when I look at you
When I listen to you say words
That I never taught you that teach me.

Doesn't feel...

Caress my weary soul
with threads of muted sound
meander through the meadow grass
ring from the barren branch of ancient time
shriek, shrill, trill with the murder of crows
or the jock-stepped lock of mocking bird
and native drummers, lick the wind~
extend the pointed poignant tip of tongue
to pursed lips...

Mr. Jerry Reed Hubbard was a native of Atlanta.
That is the biggest city in the Peach State of Georgia.
The people there were proud of their native son.
A few of his songs made Country Billboard’s number one.
A gold record and Grammy Award is what he got
for...

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

Dear Lord, I am bruised
And I am bent down low
I am about to break
And I’m about to let go

Lord, I am smoldering
About to...

What do they want to know 
About me?
I'm fun loving, charismatic
A strong Leader 
Who's Diplomatic 
Never ask for much 
I handle mines
By any "means" 
I Can read between the lines 
I'm the one people Love
I'm the flower that rose "above"
Concrete 
I mastered streets
I made it...

Always beyond reach
Is the one thing that I seek.
I’ve known it for quite some time,
But through all attempts to put out of mind

It always seems to come crawling back.

It has been stolen by others,
Been moved away far out of my grasp.
I’ve watched it be treated...

So Trump checked in to Walter Reed
And asked them for a cure for greed
They said, "Crystal Meth -
Or you could choose death -
But Fort Knox is where we keep seed!"...

Born golden littermates,
Reed and Diana are lifelong playmates.

In wooded bliss roam these furry twins,
Chasing critters to their lair and digging holes,
Much to their doting master's chagrin.

Gently gazing on a guest,
Their warm brown eyes glow with love upon them sown,
You can be sure they've known nothing...

The twisting arching reach plies the verdant of all singular reeds...slicing its' touch 
upon clouded waters' stillness,
Displaced beneath the aqueous shallow lay the turquoise of natures' forged stones,
azure and green speckled shimmer,
Breathing the wind of gentle gesture returned the reeds upwards within the reach 
of...

not going well 
this

i've got a tattoo of a butterfly on my right cheek
it will remain there til monday morning 
there's a bouncy castle and a bubble machine
i'm smacking the hell out of the piñata on my daughter's behalf
but nothing doing
talking about industry and carbon...
