Gallant soldier
He was born as a baby boy
Time change him to a man

In the year of a blood moon,
they assassinated a King
Triple six stamped shrunken head dolls,
with voodoo stitched mouths,
spit the hate bullets out
Brotherhood?      
Universal unity?
Visions of vanilla vanity splattered
Eye and eye...

Everyday and there is another story to be told
Of someone dying other then the old
Because todays headlines

As the full moon glistens on the waves
A beauty in the distance catches my eye
She is basking in the moons reflective glow

A lot of us are not great risers
many a morning we hate that alarm
wish we could throw it out the window
but there was one with a mighty arm

Think on Jesus living 2000 years ago

Bought advance tickets for The Nutcracker
About two and a half months ago
How was I to know on November 29th
We'd get dumped on with a big bunch of snow

The weather gods have conspired against me

The dominant strains that run through my veins
render it hard to ascertain
where alcohol and nicotine sin
ceases, desists and I begin.
A criminal trend to miscomprehend
why I swig yet another one ‘round the bend,

because God never lies.
