Wish Upon a Star

I wish upon a star
    A happy, big, fat, stupid star
    You and your momma's favorite star
    Everybody everywhere gets every silly
  mindless infantile thing they most desperately
  crave and desire

 I am Immanuel Kant
 I am compelled to tell the truth
 Even if we're all insane
 I feel I must tell the truth

 We live in a gimme- gimme goo-goo world and 
 its impossible to stop wanting for all things
 under Heaven ( and a few things just above Hell)
 Try not to try; try not to feel, anything at all
 if only for the next 5 minutes- I dare you

 So in resignation, I resolve myself to the tragic 
 Suffering in us all
 Condemned to be free, to choose, one or the other
 The who, what, where, when, why, and how
 And to be a prisoner to those choices, 
 not really free at all
 
 So I wish upon a star
 A bright and lovely stupid star
 and hope you get everything you have
 coming to you

Bits and Pieces

Bits and pieces of your heart and soul
bits and pieces, fillet and sautéed
for the sad amusement of cruel men with mindless erections
Who snicker and grin
as they lay you down on a bed of nails
Naked and anesthetized
for the purpose of insensate insemination
s and feces, from hearts without soul
s and feces, from cruel little boys, masquerading as men,
with pointless erections, who grimace and sin, 
As they fornicate and fail
Naked and cautertized from the meaning of erotic sensations
And that is: sweet tender love and kindness
approximating Divineness
Which the sad woman is so longing for
and the little boy is running from

Me So Hungry

The heart wants what it wants
The body craves what it desires
The soul searches for truth and meaning
And our brains are generally on fire

Singers describe their anguish in song
and doctors prescribe a pill
Theologians define the right and wrong
and psychologists send you a bill

Appetite and hunger
for all things under heaven and earth
Is the price of admission and the dept we all must pay
And the Almighty wouldn"t take away your endless longing-
even if he could- nor have it any other way

"Freedom from want" is a pernicious lie
Perpetrated by the "elites" and all that money
they never give up
Soupkitchen soul for the condescending folk
Plastered onto a groovy coffee cup
 
Appetite and hunger, from the cradle to the grave
is their ugly sin of omission, a rather obvious display
But God has the final word- even if you haven't heard-
on what is the final price we all must pay

The Lover's Rendezvous

The Lover's Rendezvous 
  The wicked sense of a complete lack of control
   has always led mankind down roads nobody knows
   Until it unfolds
   Until the Devil takes hold
   Until the bodies get dumped in a hole
   and the shrieking grandmothers,
   whom you can never console,
   clutch the little dead babies to their milkless breasts
   So just confess! get it off your chest!
   Peace in rest, and its all in jest
   Confess! and brush the ashes from your vest
   as you taxi your honey to your little lust nest
   in laughter, caressed your sweet little Aryan cum-fest
   as the grey snow fell, as if straight up from hell
   The stench of burning flesh smell
   as the guard dogs growled 
   and the cold wind howled
   You traded a God of love
   for a black leather glove
   and oh yeah, lots of burning in hell
