Paying hard
the money short
pockets empty
time aborts
A pound of flesh
bills remain

Trump Poor Church Pledger
Trump heard was a poor church pledger;
Liked seeing his name leap out on ledger;
A lost cause,
With small paws,
Who forever McCain would never treasure.

The funding of wisdom,
bankrolling death
Thoughts to withdraw
from a ledger unspent
Refinancing life,
true folly indeed
With memory cashed in
—eternity free

Started out in a bank as a bookkeeper and teller
Pen and ink was used to enter in the daily ledger
Ballpoints weren't around
Their secret wasn't found
Till a few years later, it became a top seller

Don't watch the six o'clock news, it's a bad news spreader
Don't read the daily papers, logging on to Google is no better
Hibernation it seems
Filled with happiness dreams
You'll get away from the uglies and balances your ledger

Reconciling
life’s ledger
hoping
it’s in black
Every deed
and every need
accountable
in fact
Debits
fighting credits
to balance
in the end
The jist of life
through joy and strife
where numbers
— will portend

Reaching into the
public conscience
words are tokened free
Blowing fresh holes
through blind indenture
light for all to see
Reaching into the
common ledger …
its double-entry fate
Paying the debt
on tomorrow’s maelstrom
—seeking heaven’s gate

Jim Morrison,
How sore the drugs made him,
Kurt Cobain,
Passed at the hands of the vain,
John Lennon,
Met insanity’s venom,
Heath Ledger,
His daughter, he left her,
Brandon Lee,
Met his father’s fate,
I haven’t realized to this date,
Why awe-inspiring people,
Seem to pass when-
We least expect it.

I did a bad thing for a good cause.
Put that in my ledger and calculate
the bottom line. Am I in the black
or red? Am I going to heaven or hell?
I did a good thing for a bad cause.
Good intentions build a road to hell.
Jesus Christ, I think You know Lucifer.
Talk, decide and put me where I belong.

**************
I sketch your pedigree in marrow script,
each speech slice out of salt spines—
No ledger can fetter the flow of flame,
or control the smell of storm-born mind.
Wombs are pedestals blazed by pyre,
where armor converts into full ember.

My time is consumed,
and I feel marooned
in the jungle
of trouble
left in the wake
of my mistake.
All my hobbies
like zombies
are brain dead,
dread and unfed,
in the graveyards
of old time cards.
And yet I still write
late into night
when the shame
and the blame,
the folly of you,
won't accrue
on the deficit edge
of the ledger.

(Dedicated to Heath Ledger who died January 22, 2008.)
You starred as the Joker but your death was no joke.
Millions of your fans now have hearts that are broke.
Your grave was slowly being dug.
You died because you took drugs.
Lots of people enjoyed seeing you in 10 things I hate about you.
Your death was traumatic but it shows kids what drugs can do.

notes are written on my ledger,
suffer for this, also 4 that,
agreed before i was born alive,
suffering no, just tit 4 tat,
accept your measure,
it's be brave time,
sow n reap the hurtful treasure,
next time will be mighty fine,
reap the measure yours 2 keep,
logic, reason, a paltry crime,
another sad lost sheep...

Ballad
Age is a demon,
age is a shield
Age is a weapon,
age makes you yield
Age is redundant,
age self-defies
Age is the truth,
age often lies
Age calls within you,
age calls without
Age comes to get you,
age never doubts
Age self-enlightens,
age brings the dark
Age keeps the ledger,
—age the last mark

I offered two nickels,
she demanded a dime
It wasn’t enough,
her anger declined
“Can’t you make change,”
she then shouted aloud
And while counting my failures,
her voice reendowed
But the count was undone,
all divisors were shunned
My offerings
attacked
With her vault locking down,
and my ledger unbound
The numbers red
—not black

The script of experience,
endorsing our wills
banking our choices,
paying our bills
Crediting our memory
for what lies ahead
debentures of faith
the black and the red
A ledger retallied,
both columns in sync
the plus and the minus,
indelible ink
Its summary left open,
all errors erased
with loans to push forward
—new funding in place

I searched for the treasure.
It was said to be on the ledger of tha sea.
As I search the sea I didn't realize it would be a free....
and from the tree's so long it would be.
The voyage was so long I decided to return homeSo we docked the ship.
I was discouraged.
I started walking the beach and to my surpise there it was the treasure.my family just standing there waiting for me on the ledge of the sea.

Ledger the Greek
Was on a endless wining streak
Until that fateful day
His luck rode away
Taking with it his son
Totally eclipsing the sun
Now Ledger the Greek
Lives out the price of a wining streak
Welcome to the ranks of the meek
Here are the house rules
You're allowed to gesture
Just for heavens sake
Don't speak
Turn your pages
I refer you back to the 1st commandment to the meek
If its the truth you seek

PAID WHEN BALANCE IS DUE
SOME say death is by chance
a twist of fate
merely happenstance
and others take the rein
believing death by their own hand
I say death is the magician
a slight of hand -- misdirection
allowing humans to believe
the end is fate or self-fulfilled
but angels see the cold pact
forged before time itself
Life is a ledger and always
paid when balance is due.

eventually, you have to give back
for something that you took
when you're totaling up the ledger
numbers in your account book
the columns are too long
no mathematical symmetry
debits outweighing credits
if you took more than you need
I'm not saying
I didn't see you flinch
I'm not saying
you weren't there in a pinch
I'm not saying
you didn't budge an inch
all I'm saying
is it shouldn't end like this

Verse
Know, I know that-
"A little learning is a dangerous thing! "
Knowledge
the ledger books of all knowing,
the treasure of the infinite learning
Knowledge is the love,
Love is the immeasurable sense of our knowing
If you are true wise,
Only the wise never can hate others
Because hate is the fixed mental power,
where the infinite wisdom of knowing controls the wise
