Mob justice

Travis shot a black man, he says it was self defense
They put him in solitary, that punishment is intense.
For 27 months he was in "the hole" let out for just one hour
where he could use a phone, exercise, and shower.

Then he got a new jail, in a ten by eight cell
So many threats to his

Red Banner, No Quarter

Early on a cold March morning
a handful of men took a stand
in the year of eighteen thirty six
when a sabre drew a line in the sand
it was victory or death for the valiant few
outnumbered and out-gunned
surrender and be spared an ultimatum they knew
with a cannon shot by Travis it was shunned
even as the day was

7:20 Pm, Travis Lovitt Patio At the Right Pillar

The heavens can’t admire themselves
The spotted clouds, and the opaque wavered clouds
Like a light glide of a brush.
Our Lord gifted us with round eyes
That reflect the heavens
And a mind to ponder all his leavened world

Those chutes of bark and bugs 
Aren’t impressed by themselves;
Their flat or spiky leaves or truck wide trunk
That I need tools

Song Mother I Know

When I was just a boy
I could have never understood 
You showed me right from wrong 
You made me strong

You gave so much I know,  and no
I didn't see 
But now I know just what you've done for me 

Chorus
So how can I repay this debt you gave to me
Because I realize just what

Travis

Times are a depraving 
If your going to buy a gun
Going to shoot everything everyone
Because someone told you too 

If your going to buy a gun
Shoot everything everyone 
Then this is what you should do

Start with the 1 who told you too 
Shoot everything everyone 
Until all your bullets are spent

Then this is what you

Breathless, Travis Morrison

Suicide, euthanasia
I never thought I’d be the one to go down like this
But I wanted to have control in the way I was sent out of this world
Instead of kept barely alive, pointless.
My parents refused to see things my way, putting up blinders to save my life.
We were always arguing about the heart breaking subject
Their

The most loving guy a girl can
Run across and love with
All her heart.  He is
Very handsome,
Intelligent and
Smart; I must say!!!!

The Ballad of Travis the Knight

Travis was not tired one bit, he had no intention of sleeping.
He desired more than blankets and covers, and the promises his sheets lay keeping.
In bed, he squirmed, as the candlelight burned, he tossed and turned on his side.
-Oh that he could be someone, somewhere far away, he could be Sir Travis, the Knight.
"Gather round

Travis

I was out at a bar,
no reason to think of war.
Thought I saw someone I knew,
the guy I saw looked like you.
"Did you hear the news?
A chopper went down & lost it's crew."
I thought of the war in Iraq,
more loved ones not coming back.
"Did you know that a local boy died?
His hometown's where your friends

Travis

Today I buried ol' Travis,
a better dog you never seen,
intelligent, strong, an' good natured
with eyes that were wary and keen.

It hurt me to lay him to rest now,
an' I know I'm gonna shed tears,
but I can't fault God for the takin'
'cause I shared with that dog sixteen years.

I remember when I first saw Travis,
just a
