It was a risky proposition.
yet they held no inhibition.
Then formed a coalition.

And it became a mission.
to make the acquisition
Ancient gold exhibition.
Had the right condition.
with all inside position.
Ran Into opposition.
Hadn't figured on sedition.
Stan the finger in suspicion
put through the iquisition.
Couldn't explain his transition.
One slug the ammunition
He's a ghostly apparition.
In moldy decomposition.
It was a risky proposition.

About the time you voiced to me
Above the river, by the tree
Across the bridge we saw the lights
Against the setting moon of night.
Behind my fears and fitful mood
Beside the others chatting rude
Between my silence and vacant talk
By evening on a summer walk.
Except for fumbled fervent words
For you I wish my feelings heard
From a challenged passive way
In wait my lonely times would lay
Into the words, what could I do
Of nouns and verbs and pronouns too
On days I scout without success
Over terms I should address
Through magic words a pact is made
To phrasing language dues are paid
Toward prepositions, there points a sign
Upon the start of every line

Losing Proposition
Alcohol can really wreck your life
The list of friends will constantly shrink
It cost me my job,I lost my wife
So I tried to sober up,then think
Oh hell,just have one more little drink

In the back of bars,
Places my soul Shouldn't
Be.
But isn't this an
Altar, just like the
One you worship?
Differences and
Similarities are
One in the same.
Ignominy, and I
Smug your face
as you do mine.
Soon we'll waste
Away and forget
We even had this
Ridiculous Discourse.

A FETAL PROPOSITION
There is a portion of the population
in this particular nation
that just don't or won't understand me
and won't let me be the me I need to be
i'm laying in a pool of sweat
my blanket and sheets are soaking wet
i'm shaking and in a fetal position
because kicking a heroin habit is a frightening proposition
so they don't get the fact at all
that i'm at a point of rise or fall
they call me reminiscing about the good old days
while i'm trying to forget them in a number of ways
so Tommy calls, and Lenny calls and Richie calls as well
all asking me if I want to meet them on the way to hell
i'm trying to kick a habit but its kicking my ass instead
and they want to know if I want to get high, well why don't I just
slice my wrists instead

I have awakened myself rather consciously,
Like a rush or a cry of spirituality…
The focus in my mind set aimlessly…
We need a proposition of morality.
Barely even touched by the decadence,
Striking generations lost in a trance
Fabricated dreams packaged in abundance
Aware yet… unmoved by aberrance!
Immoral behavior launched in a trend,
Infecting the core of our society.
Multifaceted demons to such extend…
The downfall and sprain of our piety.
Pretending to oblige to humans pleasures,
Imposing one’s sight with waves of toxicity.
Showing off its pride without any measures,
Falsifying in style … in full complicity.
Covering up the heart so its eyes can’t see…
Rendering it so numb by anesthesia.
Closing up the channels conducting to Thee…
Deliberately injecting doses of “amnesia”!

They came over all smooth and unique
But scum is scum wherever you seek
Dirt is dirt all over, the same
A beautiful face but inside so plain
But it’s all the same wherever you go
Beauty is beauty, beauty’s for show
Inside what’s lurking in that deep hole
Is the thing I need to leave well alone
