Law And Order
Rules are plumblines
Each one follows
Who breaks be judge.
Jails are for those
Who don't want laws
Who don't want yolk.
Peace for the good
War for monger
For disorder.
No love, no peace
What's there to live
What Earth this for....

That Joe Kenda
Have you read about Joe Kenda?
That man is always on a bender
Hails from Colorado Springs
He to justice does them bring
Those bad men he'll do anything
To catch these guys, put them away
That blue eyed Joe, hey he's okay
No murderer escapes from him
He fills those jails up to the brim...

Poverty a Driving Force
poverty a driving force
The crimes are high
Is like the jails is no new news
To be over populated
Why this crimes here and there
Who is to be blamed
For poverty drives the people
Insane in this world now
Like a force it hit the people
Like a tornado
Yet they don't care about us...

There Is No Problem
There is no problem with overcrowded prisons
Don’t worry
All the jails are overcrowded
You have to make a reservation
These days
Go for one more traffic violation
Indulge in your crimes
Bring a cushion
When it is your turn
And the waiting is over
When all the prisoners stare at you
You know you are at home...

Poverty Is Crime
Nation is getting richer
We are getting poorer
You say Poverty is crime
We say change your line
Criminals are treated better
Jails are their abode
Anyway get easy fodder
We live in the open
Destined to live in hunger
Crime Pays, Poverty is sin
Is Poverty a Crime?
Change your line....

Nature Nature
What is going on twigs of trees!
Stillness and tranquility of nature
Twitter of birds, sense of life
Silent Love
Away from industrial screens,
Malicious false.
Farm life
Rich language
Nature.
Human greed
Dragging man to deprivation
From his ancient pure inherent nature of life
To jails made of concrete, rush, and hardship.
Is that civilization and progress?...

It's Now Human's Turn
Rising sea-level, falling water table.
Oh, moon is too full, tides miserable.
Fishes and snails, and all blue whales
swimming ocean of garbage, out of their jails.
Yes, a vacation for change, of climate we yearn.
After Dinosaur, high time, it's now human's turn.

Haters
They hate
and have a grey face
feeding on corpses
mental homes
masonic lodges
jails
overcrowded with freaks
that think of themselves
as eagles
dead dogs
full of dead flies
big
fake smiles
hidden in leather gloves
grey eyes
that scare even
the funeral workers
warming their bones
on their own rage...
That's what they do
they hate
have a grey face
and never cry
for an innocent tear
on an
innocent eye ......

Entangled
Entangled in a web of my own making,
Wrapped in arteries and veins forsaking
Their true purpose to enrich my heart,
These like pulsing vines tearing me apart
I cry out in bitterest anguish for my life,
Possessed in these last moments of strife
Free me from these strangling, barred jails,
And let me embark anew in billowing sails.

Smash and Grab
Smash and Grab
Loot and nab.
Did your parents tell you, it is Ok to grab?
Stash and run.
Who taught you stealing is fun?
Job by mob.
Never had a job, for you I sob.
Crash the glass.
What care you, about the owner’s cash?
In and run out.
You sin and with joy, smile and shout.
In jails, you belong.
Lights out early and no late night songs

Turning the Tables
If you don't learn your times tables,
You may end up cleaning out stables,
Or waiting on tables.
If you are not able to read,
You won't have to worry about greed,
And for Aesop's Fables you won't see the need.
If you never learn to write,
Your mail may be a bit light,
And job opportunities slight.
If we don't give you the opportunity to learn,
So, you can earn,
Building jails, will be what more of us will need to learn....

Omens
I guess it's no longer 'the people's house.'
The 'people' rot in a DC jails with no trial nor bail.
I have never been to the Capital, won't go now,
like I never visited the Tower of London
with its crown jewels and dungeons.
They say that if the jet black ravens
ever leave that place
the kingdom will crumble.
Here in the 'Land of the Free'
I keep a watch over the Lincoln Memorial,
imagining the pidgins turning jet black
and leaving forever....

Midnight Hunger
The rumbling sound,
While I lie low to the ground-
Calling upon the cuffs of sleep -
To keep me in the jails deep-
It is a wave that strikes;
A hungry tummy to get a slice,
Of bread,
Of breath.
With a frothed mouth,
The emptiness goes south.
In this darkness, craving for food,
I remember the nuts unchewed.
With my head under the pillow, I yawn;
And the stomach enzymes spawn.
Midnight hunger is disaster,
That needs to be served like a master....

Crashed By An Angel
(30/09/2011)
Logic isn’t that important
I’m right! -As a proved defendant-
From jails occupant to humanity servant
After days I had absorbed black steam of others’ fleshes
I got crashed by an angel, then refreshed
Certainly been in a wrong track
But God allowed me to weave my life back
All could change your way to many of pathways
But only one person grace,
Whose face been waiting to gaze
And whose love you’ve been dreaming to embrace
To guide you back to truth from crazy craze...

O' Heavenly Father
O' Heavenly Father please grant me the things I desire which are peace, love, happiness,& joy on earth
Every child to be loved or have love and no hatred in any one's heart
Racism be no more everyone being treated equally
No more abortions
No more drugs on earth
No killings
Alot of jobs so everyone can be hired
Everyone in a nice home no more jails filled with alot of people doing bad
Everyone with some type of diploma to show for
Every animal not being used for bad things
No more diesease...

Veils of Illusion
Truth is blinded by veils,
the world is governed by males
The blacks are packed big jails,
my brothers living in cells
I feel I'm living in Hell,
cause there's no freedom or bail
The only way to have peace,
is through God's love or deceased
It makes you hate to be poor,
cause all the wealthy ignore
The veil has blinded their eyes,
to all the hurting outside
But I will fight for the peace,
that God created for man
Until my soul is released,
and body turns into sand....
