Sitting in silence
surreptitiously meditating
on everyday turmoil
and confusion that repulses
even the most hardcore
reality driven populists
Thoughts come and go
within the realm of
preposterous assumptions that convey
nothing of importance
just pass the time
as you ponder what appears
to be insignificant in comparison
to the worldly
order of things
It's random expressions
within the provisional games
that are constantly played
the function perfectly
without tension or power
that consume the
earthly paradise
that you have constructed
in your wild imagination
A Screech of Silence
I see a vision slightly blurred
into the darkness while interred
will greet the lightness in my musing
In Vietnam there was no cruising
just a slower trek toward death as time went by
still increases
into a screech of silence
my guitar echoes with a hum
lamenting chords within its thrum
not seeing senses and not hearing
evoking melancholia
the populists amass not caring
without their voices or their ears
into a screech of silence
the images I’m meant to feel
will find a refuge in my dreams
to share my guitar with my drums
and sign my music with a seal
a loud response that it will teem to all
into a screech of silence

Written to the tune of Sounds of Silence
Even in the shadows need for a Hero
Out of the Passions of the darkest night
No one explained that he was a zero
One of the populists frame trapped and convicted imprisoned
For crimes he did not commit
While his wife tragically murdered for crimes she did commit
Cage as a wild animal empowered to be of power strong
Massive body Herculean statue experimented on in prison
Was meant to be a division creating something to be controled by evil so corrupt What is meant for the people to represent
The Intercity needs the hero for the use of destruction
To believe in he was enslaved imprisoned to come out caged
Luke Cage hero For Hire Power Man Avenger Defender
Of the ghetto classes his mission
The fight of Injustice for the poor and miss guided
Impoverished bulletproof man superhero and
Defender of the power list came from the ghetto
The name of this fellow hero for hire Luke Cage
He's a big brother for all others
When you feel the rage call on ....Luke Cage
