When I am dead,
all the things I wrote,
all the things I said,
that made you criticize,
irritated and distressed,
made you uncomfortable
in your heart and the head,
will become dearer,
be the sorrow a real good measure,
will bring tears
if you let the thought stand nearer
and will turn into love instead.
The love that I wanted and you
did not understand.

Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
A dreamlike sound to my ears
That irreplaceable new car smell
Not known for many years
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
I'm driving a brand new jalopy
With all the bells and whistles
My mood is feeling really free
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
Musta died and gone upstairs
Slapped myself, yup I'm awake
Sitting in my underwear
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
Jumped up at the stroke of six
Forgot my knickers so here I sit
I'm now in a terrible fix
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
People start to gather around
To know if I like my new jalopy
Hope they don't look down
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
Drove off with a confident air
Enjoying my moment of ecstasy
Wind messing up my hair
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
Moments like these are rare
So very few times in a lifetime
Noticing all the stares
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck
A dreamlike sound to my ears
That oh so yummy new car smell
Missed it for too many years

The heaviest guilt inside
in never that easy to hide;
just think how the conscience
will react to a false pretense!
And instead of doing wrong,
you could have been kind
avoiding conflict and move along:
can untrue words rhyme in a song?
The laughter of a cheater
is always a heartbreaker:
when it contradicts belief
and leaves one in disbelief!
And instead of being jealous
you should be glad you have me;
get a clearer vision of what can be
and stop being so ridiculous!
The harm done can't be undone,
can an apology spare a loss?
Put down all the stones, it's your loss:
trust is not earned with a rude tongue!
And instead of doing wrong,
show your kindness, not anger;
admit that weakness is the worst fear,
admit that courage makes one strong!

Why the judge blew his own
brains out because he refused
to go through on ciro Gargano
corruption packet abuse
of power gross negligence
excessive bullying and
organized crime the judge
sat under a tree put a
shotgun in his mouth
and bam he decided to
blow his own brains out
there you have it children
gathered around parents
corruption is a serious
criminal intent i will never
ever fear bullying from
corruption under ciro
gargano arson murderer
of nine orders falsifying
documents bullying
intimidation by arson
murderer of 9 I will never
fear your threats on
license plates this resulted
in the Judge blowing his
own brains out sorry Ciro
Gargano stop killing your
twisted hell on earth
9 nails 9 needles 9 pins
9 dead judges 9 elderly
persons perished in the fires

Walking and thinking and clearing my head
Facing my demons or lying instead
Even the flowers that smile as I pass
Seem to be deep in debate with the grass
Something about every cloud in the sky
Blue as the ocean, now catches my eye
Somewhat distracting to silence my thought
Can’t break this beast so forever distraught
Yet, as the sun makes its morning debut
Helping me see that my problems are few
I realize what good fortune can be
I am alive and the world is for me
Love still exists if I open my mind
I can then solve every puzzle I find
Funny how demons know only the dark
Never to whistle the song of a lark
Now as I stroll with a head filled of light
Nature applauding my goal now in sight
Walking yet gliding, my wings fully spread
No need for lying, I’m flying instead

She pertained all pure and fragile resemblance,
her eyes brown like the melting bubbles of magnum, soothing minds and souls
years of my teenagehood,
when nothing mattered
but I only the glow of her innocents to my face,
the only which completed the worth of my waking days
held tight to my chest,
was her empty shell,
a hole in mommy mind.
Dunes and caves,
ruins of my recklessness
for I chose to love with my mind
instead of my heart

Get angry sometime,
don't hold it inside...
and instead of being sweet,
slap me hard in the face
to make me feel disgrace
My intentions were bad,
I put you aside
more than once,
forgetting your needs;
you cried and were afraid:
I was having so much fun,
you were shedding painful tears:
you longed for the brightest sun!
Chase me and find
the place of my cheats,
my playboy's ways
haven't changed;
and instead of being sweet,
take me back to reality:
explain to me that
I can't be running to others
and be proud of this feat...
while you wait to hold hands!
Don't be silent,
and don't allow me to cheat,
state your intent;
and instead of being sweet,
turn my temptation
into faithfulness,
boost my ambition
and make me yours!

Katie was upset because she lived far away
Her job was lousy, she had no money for a rainy day
She asked her brother Rich for money but he said “sorry, no”.
Her mother had to die without her, for Katie had no way to go
Two years later she sent a letter to the executor, her brother.
Please, she said, “could I please have the ruby ring of our mother?”
Rich sold the house, and forgot to share proceeds with her, not one two-bit.
He told her that his wife had the ring, and loved it, so she could not have it.
Years later she saw the ring on the finger of a woman on a bus in Lurr.
She said “My mom used to have one just like it, it is beautiful, for sure.
Ring-wearer asked, “Is your name Katie? Are you from uptown Ming?
Katie nodded her head, and the woman handed her the ruby ring.
Your brother and I once were married, she said.
But he is a selfish man, stingy even in his head.
I was coming to Ming to find you and give you this ring.
Katie felt her mother with her that day, her soul began to sing.

to free this specter from its host
caught in a body like bear trap
a house made of arms that can't let go
my hearth’s flame is selfish,
unwilling to part with smoke
without separation i will choke
at the memory of a pleasant smog
sewn into the wrists of silver tinged fingers
there is rust in my bloodstream
the wear and tear of my engine
corrodes away a heart that
deserves to be at peace
so please exorcise me with shock
i felt you’d never want to leave

Have been fearful to invite fears
Being careless to forget tears
Sometimes I wonder what if
We would have fulfilled all the
Promises we made with will
Something like a sharp knife
My subconscious stabs me
Just to know how to feel
Setting all the barriers free
Also knows how to heal
Tried to make up with bribe
Without any certainty
As if been plugged in
Without a real connection
Those memories are green
But not still the affection
You let it be broken so
I have tried even though.

I was your rival
and I didn't know
you saw me as your enemy
you saw me as a foe
you saw me as a robber
of all the love
you thought you had nothing
while I had it all...
You saw me as you rival
you didn't understand
I didn't want to be here
in the first place
I felt into that hole
without my consent
and I wanted to leave
but instead, you left.

Tear down this wall
And put an end to this
Cold War
Said the then
President of the U.S.A
Ronald Reagan
To the U.S.S.R leader
Premier Gorbachev
Only for much later on
Once the Iron Curtain
Had eventually gone
Mr Putin
Said
And rebuild it along our border
With Ukraine again instead
And for the grand opening ceremony
invite and book both
The Hoff
&
Comrade Roger " Red " Waters
To perform a duet of either
Back in the U.S.S.R
Or
Glory Day's

There once was a man, who had a glass eye.
Who tried to bake, a lemon meringue pie
While his aim was obtuse,
As he squeezed lemon juice.
He winked, but only his glass eye stayed dry.

Skips in a line of Customers
To attend to some newcomers;
A long good patience running out,
A long silent voice to soon shout!
"Why aside a guy in need wave"
While he does same attention crave?
CCTV does bear witness,
People's acts judging their fitness...
He could seller call A Bastard
Or for humor Tasteless Custard;
A claim he ate her this morning
But has, since, been sadly mourning.
