Corn Children

Word spread about children of the corn
It's crazy cause lots more were born
More killers, no saint
Face covered with war paint
Causing plenty of families to morn

Beautiful Disaster

Messy hair, flashing eyes 
over emotional battle cries;
Sadistic screams startling spectators,
war paint like a gladiator; 
Ferocity in the veins of a warrior 
Perfect storm, beautiful disaster.

I want blue war paint

I want blue war paint
so my enemies will cringe
it could make me fierce

red if you do not have blue
green if you do not have red
I need to cover up this soft face

so I can terrorize my enemies
long enough to turn them into friends

Sum people call it WAR PAINT,
     While I call it MAKE-UP!
Most typical young lady wear make-up cuz they think they look ugly,
      & I wear make-up to hide the shame!
The pain&hurt that ive been through seemz lik it is gunna last forever!

Broken Mirror

Throwing heels across the room
I snap the compact in two; 

Breaking bottles busted,
No war paint for you; 

Pretty little kitten, 
Plain isn't popular 

Dancing in a broken  mirror,
Never quite the rhythm

You will never see yourself
When 'you' are always missing

The Transparency of War Paint

Submerged skin deep
in solace,
you play trickery
in your silent rebellion.
Soil claims sanctuary 
on defiant children
like your veil lingers.
You're still sweet.
Sheepish smile behind war paint,
we're not so different 
you and I.
I too have bled music
during my vow of silence
and given myself up.

Daft Where Is the Plan

With their Tools, equipment, workwear at the ready
Hoping that this job, a first in a while goes steady

The weather has been assessed
And now we are waiting to be blessed

As the shift was about start
And the war paint applied like new age fork art

The crew started to ask “where is the plan?”
When they realized, It must still be with the mail-man.

I Am

The loudest, fiercest fighter brave
Amidst a sea of coward men 
I wear my war paint bound to save
The underdog that might have been

Or sometimes quiet as the night
Entangled, buried, rooted deep
I wait unyielding for the light 
Patient poised for peace to reap

But never waver, always be
Proud warrior, steadfast and true
I walk these steps on bended knee
This life, on loan, I will not reu

Come Morning Light

Night is falling ~ On the stars I'm calling.
I wish I may I wish I might.
Be with my love ~ COME MORNING LIGHT.

Fold up your tent ~ In the Arab night.
I wish I may I wish I might.
Wash the war paint ~ From your sight.

Lay sword  and shield ~ By the river side.
I wish I may I wish I might.
Be with my love ~ COME MORNING LIGHT.

God bless your flight ~ In this dark night.
I wish I may I wish I might.
Be with my love ~ COME MORNING LIGHT.
