We must bushwhack with faith to sweep out the brain
of all those black thoughts that control our mental pain.
Falter, and the spirit chokes from weeds well overgrown.
Many demons will nestle deep in the thorns of the soul.
Keep bush whacking in faith until there's a clearing.
To allow sun to shine through so you can see clearly.
When the soul is cleansed, you will start to achieve.
A P.H.D in hard work leads to a diploma of greatness.
Keep bushwhacking to keep those doubting demons at bey.
Success was just over the next bluff- it was never far away.

the grim reaper is not our enemy
he is liberator of souls
slayer of gravity
bushwhacking paths to
heaven and hell
not a racist never prejudice
everybody treated equally
can any of us say the same
he's consistent-persistent
ambitious -timeless
tireless
can any say they have such virtues
he tramples both
young and old
virgin and whore
the clean and wicked minded
day time or middle of night rider
soloist Armageddon-
blacksmith
pounding death into
angels and hellions

life has been a long-tough crawl
bushwhacking through devil's claw
in the clearing, a hilltop pond
touched by the feathers of a swan
touched by the feathers of a swan
in the clearing, a hilltop pond
bushwhacking through devil's claw
life has been a long-tough crawl

I met a Czech now living in Quebec
Very handsome in crisp turtleneck
He tells a sad story about a shipwreck
But now has a highfalutin job here in high tech
Alec loves to strut muscles in a crew neck
Play outdoor hockey and body check
Climb mountains on a challenging trek
Water ski off a summer cottage deck
Answer any pop quiz about the Aztec
Let loose at the swinging discotheque
Draws the line at pretending he knows a speck
About anything related to home ec
One day Alec was about to write a blank cheque
To some random bushwhacking redneck
Who tried to sell him a bushel and a peck
I sent him on a hike as he pulled a quick rubberneck
I told Alec it was his dance moves I’d like to check
And maybe let him nibble a little on my neck
