My ground is pretty solid
My statement is really worth
I many inadequacies foiled
I really respect force
I am mightly explicit weapon
The credit of AF defense
My engines your brain boil
I am drone that distills essence
My electronics prone to tectonics
My sensors a lot sense
Use power of sonics
The diligent phonies
Physics of cyber dense

Look at me in the eyes
I'm larger than life
A towering monolith
Surrounded by phonies
And plastic ponies
It's a shame I'm the only
One standing tall
But he who stands tall
Must inevitably fall
At least that's what they say
But they say
So many things
So in one ear
And out the other
Look me in the eyes
Tell me when I'm tellin' lies
Each day is a new chapter
And sure
Maybe I cut some pages out
But I've still got a novel
Built from numerous experiences
And those dark days
Those really dark days
Are like drifting storm clouds
But at the very end
Is a pot of gold
And if I may be bold
Look at me now
I'm larger than life
Yeah, I'm larger than life

I’d never seen a Fox Trot
nor a Jittery Bug
Though whenever I’d Twist
in agony I’d Shout
But when a Hully became a Gully
and Monsters like Potatoes were Mashed
This Jerk got on his Pony ~
and Loco Motioned those Stoned Phonies

Several people never knew
that bunnies have an urge to chew
teeth that shine from dawn towards noon
then through out the glow of the moon
the reason that they like to chew
because their front teeth grew and grew
they'll grow and never stop growing
they'll chew unable to slowing
bunnies chew a bunch of carrots
that is why they have high spirits
a need to know about bunnies
this rhyme, their teeth, are not phonies.

Aye kid, Baby joe
You should know the norms
The world is filled with phonies
Shouting behind the curtains
Do nothin but only to blame
Aye kid, little joe
Cover your eyes, plug your ears
You will know nothing but fears
Why do people not care
Whoever may speak the truths
All lost in herd of sheeps
Aye Kid, little Rebel joe
Let the birds chirp from behind
Where you shout, everyone bites
The world just keep burning on and on
To them nothing seems to matter
Their words filled with nothing but void
Aye kid, big Angry joe
Just be the norms
Become the phony
Close the curtains
Be the sheep
Join the herd
Don't think
Coward that you are
You can only do nothing,
but learn to blame
Aye! lonely, Heckler Joe
Be that you are
Forever insane, ignore the sheep
Soon you will find peace in this chaos
Just think not as one but as Own.
not from your heart, but from within your soul
Let the phonies blame,
But you must become sane
[Kindly support]

Christ-proclaimers are the worst punishers
In self-righteousness, little mercy, no Grace
Should one perchance fall into their "church"
Hindu Gandhi, "terrorist Mandela" compare better
Jesus is not honored by phoney pastors,
Church "leaders" and therapist-advisors!
In Africa, my GURU was hard, but not like them!
Among other "religions" grace shows its face - not here ...

Saint D of Adelaide only advised a breakup
Isolating the lovers, adults over 40 years in age
Then groomed the woman as he thought best
She lost her dignity, mind, control
When she disobeyed his least "instruction,"
He recalled her fights with ex-lovers - got his way -
Not the Jesus way: punish them, no let up --
Never reminding couple, forgiveness is step 1
In healing and living like Jesus (or AFRICAN Mandela)
Basic Christianity (John 3:16) exists only for Dean

Something happens when you get a 'name':
Moth-like phonies are drawn to your flame.
Fame brings envy more than 'looks' or wealth;
If you have all three – better add stealth.

Damn proud of myself, the kids puzzle I bought once
On the box it read 3-5 years, but I finished it in 18 months
How about that my cronies
Jealousy's showing you phonies
Bet you wish you were a smartie-pants like this bum<>

When you are insane you are never alone
The friends within are never shown
Protect the witnesses is paramount
They are only only ones who count
Every one else is playing a game
Their intentions pathetically lame
Doctor prescribe pills to eradication their memory
But that never ends their story
No better friend than those in our head
Its those phonies that we all dread
They are with me when I go to sleep
When I awake we ponder the deep
We know better and more in dept our capacity
For all the sane people you have our mercy

Families are divided
Families are dysfunctional
Families do not have to be
Blood relatives
Families are people
Who loves, accept and forgives
People come
And people go
Families always have your back
Families are dedicated
To keeping you on track
Don’t be fooled
By the fakers
And the phony family members
Because fakers and phonies
Are like a fire that
Spark crackling embers
Know your family
Don’t stay apart
Know who loves and accept you
Right from the very start
Matters not
Who crosses your path
You will know
Who your family are
From the bottom of your heart.

May the New Year
Bring Ecstasy to everyone
and hunger for none
Make the food crops grow
and Rivers have perpetual flow
Help to halt the hatred
and ruin the rancor
Comfort the indigenous people
to strive against the evils
Enhance the global tourism
and annul terrorism
Pinpoint the phonies
and cleanse the cities
Smash the poverty
and increase generosity
Promulgate universal peace
Shatter barriers into pieces
Wish you all a wonderful New year

Sick n tired of u phonies
No such thing as loyal homies
Shaking hands, hugs
Taking pictures like u love me
Oblivious of the difference
In "friends"and being "friendly"
Try to pull some buckshots
You'll get a not so happily ever ending
Walking around acting as though
They got your back
Next thing ya know
Your the one bound and gagged
No mending this depth of betrayal
Heartbroken the bonds
Now I'll see you in hell
Untrusting instincts throw me off balance
To many people have such skilled acting talents
It's another epidemic
A traitors disease
No type of cure
For mutations like these
Makes me change a slogan
I just can't forgive so,
I choose bloody regret
A phrase p!aced on a tombstone
You forgive but don't forget

Shocked, taken aback,
I was stood up by my standbys
ever reliable phonies who stood by
and watched. My dear friends quaked
and spluttered excuses from stand-by mode.
How quickly the folksy flock dispersed
to vultures, hanging, waiting
in stand-by queues, for me to fail, so can step in.
Chameleon onlookers standing by.
Well "Stand By, Folks"
"I'll be back, right with you".

Ode to Holden Caulfield
I'm not even going to mention that term you scattered so ubiquitously throughout your memoir
It's pretentious to bring it up, like I'm trying to prove something
I mean, why would anyone who claims to be a so-called devotee fall into the trap of perpetuating the hypocrisy you so profusely railed against
Your fierce, but misplaced and naive attempts at integrity fall short everywhere … but in that field … and on the edge of that cliff
f

That is where you find yourself and your genuine purpose
You save the innocent from corruption
That is a noble cause
That is where,
despite your upbringing and your awkward attempts at acculturation,
you find an escape
That is where,
despite your prodigious flaws and your insolence to all that is holy,
you find redemption
OK. I'll say it – Everyone is a phony. But the real phonies are the ones who don't even know it
Like Stradlater in the back of Ed Banky's car
