The outer layer is tough resistant and seems weather proof
Just one more layer...

Green eggs, Spam and grits
Sam and Pam had their fill,
Then made their way to Main Street
Down WhoDat’s Whatsup Hill.

[verse]
I'm stepping out
you stepped away again
and it's been too long
so I am not waiting again

no limits on me
I will do...

The silent song of Chester Gray, 
a murderous affair 
This quiet soul of little word,

a pier of rotted wood 
A body...

blowing us towards the promised manic Paradise
a steely eyed greeting committee
providing the final hurdle
their panel of erudite jurists
concluded that his sense of right and wrong
had been tricked by wizard mesmerists

I go to church each Sunday,
God warns ‘there’s much to fear,
the world is decomposing,
the final end is near’.

I go to church each Sunday
and taste the wine and bread,
though elsewhere on our globus
raw hunger reigns instead.

lived his life back there up in the sticks.

sing it outloud
the best things in life are free
no thoughts necisary

Oft'times I see my friends all 'round
Lke leaves of Autumn, floating down
And softly drifting, side-to-side
A passive dance, on zephryn tide

50-50
was the divorce court decree
She and I both bear the blame,
yet, why does an 800-pound gorilla
preponderance of guilt
weigh heavy on the back of me?
I know I did my shameful part
to wreck our marriage
To destroy something...

They took me for granted
They used me up for fun

There’s emptiness this night;
Good-byes are everywhere.
Life is such a hard thing;
Sometimes it’s too hard for me.

To rise and meet the day.

VIET BOMB

I recall when time, to me, mattered not
All I did was follow a predestined plot
suddenly my world became acrid and tart
Because then came a wicked war in which I took part

Happiness is a loving family in another city
True friends stab you in the front

The hailings in the coridor of corruption
to the echoes of silence in the streets
Sirens whispering tales of wars
marines marching on looted lots
Justice is strangled by corrupt claws

Opening of the gates
The non-existent waits

Live your life the way you...
