Slavery Train

Rolling on the tracks 
Faster than the eye can see
Heading somewhere
A place where we can be free

We have no time to waste 
Soon they’ll be looking for us 
Going town to town 
If they don’t find us, they’ll have a fuss

Riding in the cars 
Being quiet as we can be 
Waiting for the next stop 
We’ll all be ready to be free

Were happy to be alive 
To be able to escape the fears 
Knowing that we were dying slowly 
Crying all those tears

Being beaten to the inch of our lives 
For doing what we were told 
Our lives being torn apart 
Like a pair of pants unfold

Pouring out of the train 
Heading to the outskirts of town 
Getting away from all of the commotion 
All of the smiles turn into frowns

Now we are really happy 
As happy as we will ever be 
Heading somewhere
A place where we can be free

Life of a Hobo

Walking along the road 
Pushing the metal cart 
Having to be in a useless life mode 
I am a hobo with a broken heart

Finding new things everywhere
Picking up random things and putting them in my cart 
I even found a new pair of underwear
I told my wife that we would never be apart

I am an uncleaned man  
I remember the times when I took a shower
And going to the living room to sit in front of the fan
I sat there for an hour

Thinking about the old times 
And the new times too
Fighting all this nasty, stinky grime
Makes me feel blue 

I think I should have stayed in school 
Probably wouldn't be a hobo in this situation 
Maybe I thought I was too cool
I should have filled out that application

Cool Kids

Hot long haired boys
Skating around town 
Being the cool kids

Short haired boys 
Walking around school 
Always the cool kids

Young, dumb, and popular
All the cute guys 
None that I could never get 

Skating around town 
Smoking joints and cigarettes 
Acting like they are the cool kids

Working Man

Working from dusk to dawn
Going home worn out 
All he wants to do is go to bed and sleep
But he has other things to do 
Take a shower and eat
Watch a little television 
Read the newspaper 
Then he might go to bed
Sleep endlessly 
Hear the alarm go off 
Time to get up 
Getting ready to go back to work 
Working from dusk to dawn 
…again…

No One, No Friend

Walk in and walk out
It’s always the same
Kids fighting each other

It hit me one day
I was scared
Never knew who secretly waits for me

One hurtful, naughty word
It was all that it took
To easily hurt me or somebody else

Now I have no one 
No one to be happy with or
Tell secrets that I wish to be kept

Only one important person
That loves me 
He always stands beside me

I have one true friend
She is gone now
Disappeared from my life

Tell Me a Secret

Go ahead 
Whisper in my ear 
Always trust me 
You don’t need to fear

Tell me the simple words 
As fast as you can 
Get it out to me 
I need to know man

You’re leaving me curious 
Telling me simple statements 
They’re not helping me any 
I don’t think your making any sense

Gently rocking back and forth 
Steadily on the hard ground 
Waiting impatiently and… 
Working with what I’ve found

Tell me the simple words 
As fast as you can 
Get it out to me 
I need to know man

Different

You’re ugly 
You’re mean 
You’re stupid 
You’re fat 
You’re unattractive 
You’re retarded 
You’re a nerd 
You’re geek 
All I say is 
I am just different

Angered Emotions

Anger emotions everywhere
Just simple hated feelings
Getting the most out of us 
Draining all of our energy 

Short tempered emotions
No good for nothing 
Risking our lives 
Something that is not worth dying for

Tempered feelings inside
Working its way on the outside 
Letting people see it 
Feelings that we don’t want to show 

Dragging your temper along your side 
Wanting to get rid of that cloud
Mixed feelings all inside it 
Risking their way slowly into you

A Boy Named John

Let me tell you a poem 
It won’t take long
I’ll only tell you this once
It’s about a boy named John

John lives in Georgia 
He lives all alone 
Always stealing stuff
To put in his one story home

He cries like a baby 
All through the night 
When he hears stuff in his closet
That gives him a fright

He stays in the house 
Sleeps endlessly in bed 
He rarely gets up 
To even get a slice of bread 

One cold snowy morning 
John was found dead 
He has died a good death 
While sleeping in bed

Fantasy World

Dreaming past the fantasized world 
Thinking of all unrealistic things
Unicorns with beautiful wings
Flying endlessly in the white, puffy clouds

Coming back in the realistic world 
The place where I feel like I don’t belong
Wanting to go back to my unrealistic world
So wonderful that I lose all the pain that I am suffering in 

Facing the unwishful truth of no fantasies 
But in my world, I feel like they are realistic
Keep dreaming of those unrealistic creatures 
In my wonderful, fantasy world
