Premium Member Undergrowth With Two Figures - Van Gogh

“Hansel, why have we returned? I know that witch is toast
But what if she’s around here someplace as a blackened ghost?”

“Gretel, do you not recall, these flowers were not here
That when the witch was still alive these woods withered in fear.”

“But, Hansel, when we came as kids, complete with dirty knees
All we had to guide us was a dirt path through the trees 
And now the very path itself is hid by vegetation
So tell me how you plan for us to find our destination.”

“Gretel can’t you smell that spicy scent of gingerbread
It’s even stronger than the flowers upon which we tread.”

“Hansel, please don’t tell me there’s some dumb scheme in your head
Like when we marked our way with crumbs on which the sparrows fed.”

“Gretal, Gretal, sister dear, just give a guy a break
Can’t you just for once forget that minuscule mistake?
But, lo, I see the witches hut; it’s right there up ahead
I won’t pretend that I’m not glad that awful witch is dead.”

“Don’t you ‘Gretal, Gretal’ me; I know you all too well.
I’d even bet you came to get some gingerbread to sell.”

“Gretal, I’m so fed up with your patronising grin.
But here’s the door; it’s up to you, but I am going in…….
Okay, now I’m puzzled, because inside there’s a bed
And in it there’s a grandma with a hairy face and head.”

“Hansel, as expected, seems you’ve led us both astray
You’ve brought us to this place from which, if wise, we’d run away
But no, you cannot help yourself, you’re quite beyond belief
So go back in and shut the door and talk about big teeth!”

To Those Atop the Cliff

Everything is broken
In a way you don't understand
Safe within your bubble
Isolated from your fellow man

Granted safety from your birth
As loathe as you are to admit
Privilege is a dirty word
But it's one that unfortunately fits

White of skin and comfortable
With the gender of your birth
How oft do you gaze upon us
And consider us of worth?

See the ones in charge of us
Aim gunblades at this half
Pray, are you just as incensed
Or give a shaky laugh?

If the sword or gun pointed
Doesn't aim at your head
But at those of your fellow man
Do you still feel the dread?

Are you content to stop and stare
As nooses are fashioned?
Knowing you've escaped today
The rest of us are shunned

Do the pointless deaths incense your soul
Stoking violent flame
Or when the victims aren't of your ilk
Is it just a silly game?

Everything is broken
In a way you could understand
If only you would reach on out
To pull up your fellow man.

Premium Member Running To Freedom

I was walking in the sunshine happy and careFREE
oh yeah, humming a tune in my head
when a car stopped
wanta a ride miss?
he looked handsome and friendly
so I got in and that was my mistake, mistake, mistake

we were driving a wild ride on streets unknown
swirling and twirling
then he was dragging me up stairs, ouch
down a hall and into a room
a dirty disgusting stinking room of  filthy walls
my prison walls, walls, WALLS
and from something to nothing I was doomed
 
he spoke to me with words angry blurred
whispering in my ear, biting, that I was his now, his, his
he said, tell me you love me and I did, I did say it
'cause his knife was at my throat

I did everything he wanted
when he left me I was chained like an animal
a prisoner with no freedom
had nothing anymore but deep inside
was courage, a flame still burned
he was a coward with a knife

knowing one day he would eventually make a mistake
and it came suddenly
he left forgetting the chain
I lay waiting, waiting, listening to his fading footsteps
then sprung up
opened the door and ran
ran to freedom, ran, ran, ran, ran
from nothing towards something, something
how long had I been in that room of doom
I had no concept of time anymore
where do I go?
where are you mom?

Premium Member Solomon the Gun

Years ago, but one
Nineteen hundred and thirty one
Solomon the Gun

He smoked big cigars
He drove really big fast cars
On his face a scar

He ruled the city
Drove us all into pity
Made us feel shifty

The world his oyster
I don't mean to be witty
Boiled, fried, roasted

He always boasted
"I can take anyone out
Anytime I wish"

He owned everyone
Father, mother, daughter, son
No one was safe from

Solomon the Gun
He's always a gangsters son
With a Tommy Gun

He killed thirteen men
St. Valentines Massacre
Dirty cold red blood

Alibi's no good
Now Solomon's on the run
The cops after him

Nowhere left to run
Solomon's shot in the head
He was left for dead

Oh, he's all but gone
Nothing but a memory
Newspaper fodder

Now, he wasn't brave
Buried in an unmarked grave
Never to be saved

He was just stupid
A total stooge and moron
Solomon the Gun

When you fight the law
You'd best have the bigger gun
And bigger ego

Better be faster
On the draw and on the run
Or it's your last here

Now, you may well say
What's the moral of the story?
What to take away?

Solomon the Gun
The moral is simply this
Don't be like he was...

Dreamer

Chorus
 
Never give up or 
Put yourself down 
Never hate this 
Tis just for loves 
Never wake up be a dreamer 
Till your dream your life 




Verse 1
Don’t pinch me
 this dream 
This cars 
this house just for me 
am joseph better coat
finer things stain my soul 
j s on designer sole 
made for the shine like a mirror 
about the money like a banker 
straws to all my haters 
so y all can suck it 
money talks 
cheddah in my hands 
Im holding conversation 
So good  a dirty mind 
You cant brain wash 
Your god deleted you 
now you are not saved 
Believe in you then 
Get money till they say amen 
Dad says its never too late till you dead 
I cant ever be the late 
So I 
Work and work and work 
And I 

Chorus 

Verse 2 
Don’t pinch me 
This moment 
This feeling 
This crown 
Just for me 
Am martin luther 
Better style 
Am no hoe land 
Even with a dyke 
You wont stop my flow 
Always do it for you 
or you get a crown of thorns 
They will stab you in the back 
if you save em all 
like the joker keep smilling 
please my heart keep beating 
where is my throne
needs titling 
lost my mind 
quit looking 
if its love keep falling
always keep time 
like your life 
don’t waste it 
find yourself or you lose your chance for greatness 
it’s a marathon till you run the world 
so run and run and run 
and please 

chorus 

bridge 
everyone goes to sleep 
but all don’t dream 
you are special 
may your work make men and angels cry 
 when it gets so hard like constipation 
when the suns up high and its all trepidation
looking for salvation 
and all is damnation
 sleep honey 
dream darling 
and please honey 

chorus *2

No Joy In Zion

No joy in Zion 
Cast the first stone 
If you are sure of your soul
Cos you Don't point fingers 
When your eyes are dirty 
Our streets are hot 
Too many events are unfolding
At same times 
Some are good 
So many are ugly 
The elite keep taking blames 
While 
The youth keep protesting
Life is what it is on our streets
We are naked to the world to see 
What more do they want to know 
Cos we are the ones 
With situations that don't change 
Yet we  can live 
We can smile regardless
We can manage despite the terrible stories
Some how we are talking over our defeats
Some how we are everywhere 
We are the magic the world loves 
Yet ignores 
Yet we can smile regardless 
We can manage our lives 
Despite their is 
No joy in Zion

No joy in Zion 
The kingdom shakes
Cos the elders are not truthful
They became money blinded
Choosing sides instead of true cooperation
Allowing calamities in exchange of money 
Tell me what will the youth do 
When they see their elders evil 
Instead of a mentor
Tell me who will advise us 
When we need to listen
No wonder the streets are hot 
Too many young dying so soon 
Moral values dying like 
We can't live without brutality
The kingdom shake
Cos the elders are not truthful
They refused to take care 
Of Thier very own people
Their existence bleeds 
The reality on our street
On daily basis 
I wish the kingdom reigns
With the brave cos now their is 
No joy in Zion

Crossing the Line

I took her over the county line.
This parish is dry
and you have to drive some to get a damn drink.
She's not much older than my truck
but we both need a break
from the coal dusted air.

In the mostly empty White Pony
cold beers slide our way.
She's wiry and tough,
no one bothers to card her.

Together in a booth corner
she tells me her story,
it's a short brutal one,
my hands feel dirty
as I nod saying nothing,
then order whisky chasers.

On the way back to her trailer
she asks me if I want something from her.
I ain’t got the words.
Maybe another drink
some other stone cold night,
I hear myself say.

Proud To Serve

I’m proud to serve, that’s true as hell,
But sometimes I wonder why we’re here to rebel—
Not against the mission, not against the fight,
But the brass and the game that fogs up the right.
They say it’s a brotherhood, shoulder to shoulder,
But I see ‘em slicked up, gettin' rank over the bolder.
The ones who dodge grime, fresh-pressed and clean,
In their service dress blues, their polished-up sheen.
Some troops in coveralls, sweat-stained and tired,
Running two shifts while the "heroes" retired,
To volunteer for cake duty, handin' out smiles,
While we’re on the line, racking up miles.
The shop’s down to bone, mission load is high,
And we’re the ones grindin’ while the brown-nosers fly.
They get the medals and accolades—so absurd,
For fixing their collars and kissing up to the third.
I don’t care for the politics, the backroom cheers,
I don’t work for the lapel pins or selective ears.
But there’s pride in the dirt, in the scuffed-up boots,
Where real service lives, where honor takes roots.
I’ll keep pulling weight, watch their parades pass,
Nods and awards for a well-polished brass.
And yeah, it gets old, watching them rise,
When the dirty and smelly, they pass right by.
But proud to serve—I don’t need their praise,
For a job well done, for these long hard days.
Just wonderin’ sometimes why it’s this way—
When the heart of the mission is the boots in the fray.

Premium Member They signed the contract

They signed the contract

The sneaky dead souls come through the door
Making deals 
They wanted resurrection, health and beauty 
Glam and Manzoor was greed
Suraya and Khalida were jealousy and beauty
Saying T is to blame for their misfortune
And began their reign of terror

They crossed the demon’s hand with silver
The demon wanted proof
They played dirty hoping to fool the demon
With lies and deception
They took out loans
They signed the contract
Now there’s no proof to their accusations
And must pay the fines and heavy debt.

Glam and three others and prayed a spell in the middle of the night on a log fire. He unlocked a door and he beckoned a demon called Sire Marcus Barracus to assist him. Glam overpowered Marcus and stole, hair, nails, and umbilical cord of his victim. He put it in a grave and mortuary for riches in heaven. They stole the all-seeing eye so he knew exactly where to look. All he knew was he needed perform a ritual, he needed a pure soul. He had no idea what he was doing as he was literate.
He didn’t know how to arrange such an act. He ended up putting his body in a mortuary too. The others too. Then Marcus didn’t know how to explain to him, as he was horrified. All Marcus did was ask him to sign a contract. Which he never did until now thirty-five years later. Now Marcus managed to get through to them what he tried to advise them.

The Protest Craze

In these days 
Of protest craze
We sit or stand
When we don't get our way

We scream and shout
Piss and pout
Without even knowing
What it's all about

We cry foul
Take a knee
Burn a building
Steal a T.V.

Guess it's easier 
To protest
When we don't dirty our hands
In the real mess

If there's something there
That we don't like
Why not try
To change hearts and minds

Instead of running around
Pitching a fit
Which never made
Much sense to it

I've got an idea 
That we could try
Not sure how well
This will fly

Instead of beating our chests
In protest
Why don't we do 
Something bout it
