Candy coated sugared chocolate treat
Stuffed hearth hung stockings, we dream!
Concern, it's lumps of coal...
Choof, choof, choof the train
Along the rickety track,
Load the coal, toot the whistle,
Cross the trestle, clickety clack.
Black and white are
never of skin
but of coal and snow
the colours nature
distinct show
which is pure and
which is sin?
Cool
Burning
In the night
Ash in the air
On a winter’s night
Black smoky air
Soot encrusted
Coal.
Postmaster DeJoy has a goal
Called The USPS Black Hole
One little flame
No one to blame
And your mail moves faster than coal . . .
T~UNNELS BLACK AS COAL
R~EVEAL RUSTING RAILS
A~NTIQUITY ALLURES IMAGINATION
I~RON HORSE STIRS
N~EVER FORGOTTEN
S~ONGS OF THE RAIL
Incinerating us
one coal black night
my lover lit a match.
The things he said
cannot be taken back.
In my heart are cinders' ash!
black coal soft
not rough rigid
but coal soft
not a stocking filled with coal
but a fluffy cat coal soft
With a rough ridged motor
Hot off the press coal diamond million years pressure a woman's pleasure a treasure

Reality will hit you like a brick I'm told
Some get coal other strike gold
Some got scars on their hands
Some float free, until we shoot 'em down
Coal
dirty, grimy
shoveling, glowing, burning
smoke, soot, heat, pressure
hardening, shining, dazzling
brilliant, beautiful
Diamond
Inflation is out of control
Because miners can't sell their coal
Our earth's getting warmer
But Trump is a charmer
And knows we need a deeper hole
Alida from Kerkrade was a ghost
And she fell in love with René Trost
In coal-miner's club
They left their love's stub
Now all is buried under frost
Eyes from a distance reveal the man
Strengths, weaknesses, gauged and scanned…
Close-up, they open upon the soul
Plunged in mystery ~ Pupils of coal
Fossil powered gas coal and crude
Got miners and some roughnecks screwed
With solar and wind
Their fate could be pinned
On working with fuel that's renewed
Oil, gas and coal
Energize my life
(Going, going, going),
Fulfill my happy soul!
Oil is sweeter than honey,
Gas tastier than dew.
Ask my engine.
"It's true."
The poverty
The stigma of poverty is like coal dust.
Cling to us no soap can clean away
We don’t know if we are welcome.
Look into the eyes, do we see aversion?
A piece of coal can become a diamond;
A grain of sand can form into a pearl.
Common things can change to precious beauty
Like the smallest black or white boy or girl.
Father on my knees i am
Begging for your saving grace
My heart is dark like coal
Am torn into pieces, i just want to be freed by You
There once was a young man from Leeds
Who proudly went spreading his seeds
But he spread one too many
To a coal miner's Ginny
And now he lies buried in weeds

who can fix a soul,
a soul as black as coal,
a soul thats lost it's meaning,
and now is left undone.
my soul feels so heavy,
like a flood against leavy.
who can fix my soul.
ROOTS
I’ve still got coal dust in my vein
And the smell of the Tyne on my skin
I’ve tried hard to scrub it in vain
Childhood’s the vessel I keep my mask in.
Just lay there in the sun
The colors lovingly fade
From slate, to white to coal
Rest there, listen to the waves
You've worked so hard
And traveled such a long way from home
Coal in Nana’s stocking made it lumpy.
Santa was right though; this year she’d been grumpy.
