When Did Vegas Die
I must report the passing of a dear old friend today
I'm not sure when it happened, but I felt I had to say

Is not the one...

Staring at me without a smile or a frown, they just looked at me sitting on the big rock on the other side of...

Two Rabbits, a Wolf, and the Wind
An ominous storm one winter day,
No more animals out to play,
The once green grass left to decay
As crystal daggers litter the already silken white ground.

But despite all of this,
Two reckless rabbits
Lost their wits
And were surrounded...

Lessons From Nature
Upon His soul leaving the body it once rested in,
a storm of atramentous clouds formed over the mountain top
that we once stood upon like kings.
Loss caused the quaking thunder

He Died With A Smile, Part II
The man shook and said, “They wanted some fun,
but the boy was small, he started to bleed.
Patrick threw him out back, said, ‘This one’s shot,
but we have others to see to our needs.’”

Dalton’s face darkened...

A Man Is Born, Part I
I.
Luther Deits was a good friend of whiskey,
not fond of cutting herds or pushing plows,
a young buck full of juice, barely twenty,
he lived only for the thrill of the now.

We never dreamed America could come under attack
It seemed an enemy had slipped through a crack
Who knew they would come from behind our back

Alone on the trail, pushing daylight,
we two pull into a small arroyo to bed down.

My Worst Nightmare
I guess I'm feeling some type of way. 
It’s the day after the next day.
THE VERDICT; INDICTED!
Definitely it rocked this country.
I guess I'm sensitive, emotions running deep, with all this madness;
Most nights I can’t sleep.
I...

Roto Rooter

and whatever else unmasks the poseurs
making mischief...

The Best Friends You Have
You say that a good person
should never know anger,
that hatred serves no purpose,
tis a plague upon the world.
I think you are missing
a very salient fact:
anger and hate tell you when
you have to watch your back.

Dawn has come upon me once again.
Shadows melt and become dancing crystals of beautiful light,

Dearest About-To-Be-Terminated,

they will do so like the mafia,

Last Resort
All me life I’ve been a bushman who lived mostly in a city
with dodging cars and sleazy bars and no-one showing pity.

That's Rude of You
DON'T STARE AT ME BECAUSE OF MY SKIN

BUT EVERY WORD YOU SAY
