Let the drums beat until blood spill in the street
Let the drums beat until justice is...

 I kept focusing ahead...

See them marching up the street chanting
See them marching up the street with anger
wrapped around their belt and their faces
As heavy as led, thick skin men that is hard to bend
walking with heavy strides marched
courageously...

What are the feelings that I feel
Just that light is cast and I am real
I lingered for so long in the shade
Believing that was a choice I made
Always afraid I have hidden intent
Hidden from myself...

So sick, ashamed, tuke-deh-blaim guilty 
And tired of your sarcastic comments that tease me on purpose
Really not an accidental thing in the first place
Crazy talk I do on a daily basis
Aggravated beyond reason and logic...

Amidst Mystic’s art and craft show last May I was wandering.
By a stall with wildlife photos malingering,
Where my new beau Greg caught me beaming. 
A gorgeous red tailed hawk photo I was unashamedly oogling.

Things fall into place.  
Wait long enough for love to arrive and things fall into place.
Brick by brick, fountains are made.
Building a future of titanium before the grave.
Happy days are back again.
Make no mistake.

At the end of the finishing line, 
a deep grouchy voice thunders in my ears
and said, “Welcome home”.
I stepped on the green carpeted grass 
and gazed at the slender bushy trees
waving peacefully in the hot...

Bury your guns deep in the sands of time
Break your daggers in half and leave them behind
Unclench you fist and loose your stare of hate
Live in love today before tomorrow comes to late

Masquerade the truth...

You’re in Palm Springs, not much to do 
But golf and get some sun

Line up your shot, you’re feeling hot
You try hard not to...

I was listening to Pastor Mike Todd
He said some things real hard 
He said this 
If they're not beneficial 
Rip up your list 
Rip up failed relationships
Rip up past hurt 
Rip up emotions
Bury them in...

i
am
TIRED
of writing all these
sweet, sappy, lovesick poems
all these exultations in my
tear-stained, lonely, cry-for-me-please days
these fall-on-my-knees days
when everything
is a "different shade of gray".
i
can't
BEAR
anymore of my 
whining complaints
of this "life barely worth living"
of these people who aren't...

Broke the bank yesterday on my brand new ride,
Bright midnight blue with golden yellow sides,
Bringin’ it home for me and my baby to drive;
Breakin’ outa here.
Can’t let the bad boys take us alive;
Ride, ride, ride...

But the seconds continue but for you I still bother
I take the batteries out of every clock
To call on you again and to hear your remark

from the blue chasm of adversity; 
when in dead aftermath 
ghostly buzzing in her ears, 
echoed screams without end into her head, 
sparked the bitterest deluge of tears.

Weeping, head in hands,...

Sometimes you make me want to laugh
Or make me want to cry
And you think of everyone else but us
Would it hurt you to do what you should?
Would it hurt you to do what you should?

We see but grey where once was green
As bulldozers now scrape,
Turning a joyful rural scene
Into joyless landscape. 

The area was green-belt land
With forest and pasture 
But as our numbers still expand
We will invade nature. ...

Why must people judge me for the things I do
The feelings i have are normal, but still strange to the human eye
Can't it be known that i am good
But from peoples these days, I'm not.

Heartbreak me, leave me completely broken
Tell me lies, leave all the important words unspoken 
Leave my side, leave me in tears and choking
Heartbreak me and leave me completely broken 

They won't understand this
But I'm no...
