Leroy Max Poem
Who in their lifetime hasn't planted a Peach Pit
Just hoping that somehow a seedling would grow
And then they move on to some other adventure
And if it comes up-well they don't even know
That's one way of picturing your style of living
You've planted ideas and dreams unaware
You've noticed somebody who's heart needs attention,
and planted a positive feeling in there
It's part of your nature
You may not remember the kind and encouraging things you've done
But everywhere, Peach Pits are growing like crazy
And people are blooming

Leroy Max Poem
This is not a perfect world, we see things everyday
That makes us take a second look, or makes us turn away
The heart of man has turned to stone, and compassion is not found
We've taken love and friendship, and beat them to the ground
No longer do we hold our hopes and all our dreams so dear
At any given moment, we will trade them in for fear
Lets end this reign of violence, and halt these evil designs
We are all in this as one human race, to that we must resign
So please reach out so all of us cease the malice and the pain
And maybe one day soon we'll hear sweet music in the rain
So as you kneel and Pray to God, for a better life for all
Ask that Peace and Tolerance be placed visible on the Wall

Leroy Max Poem
We're obsessive, compulsive, good looking, repulsive..
Ever blameful with our faultless sight..
We're passive aggressive..
We're manic depressive..
We're even bipolar, that's right..
We're psychotic, neurotic..
Free wheeling, robotic..
From the day into the night..

Leroy Max Poem
The fire raged, no place to dwell, a busy street, a place of hell..
What loss of life we do not know, no place to live, no place to go..
What place be next, where people die, the block is spent, the price is high..
Dope addicts, drugs, degenerates all, some day be gone, forever fall..
Not honor bound, no care, no trust, to try destroy, this what they must..
Ruination lives at Avenue Park, the lights are out, the street is dark..
Scavengers now do meet the scene, no thought of love, death in between..
What is the price, what is the toll, what charges them, for them what goal..
Wonder we the reason why, the bad shall live, the good shall die..
So try we must, we'll reach the goal..
We'll conquer sin, thus save the soul..

Leroy Max Poem
The Little Brown Bear carried a Rose,
he tripped and it went up his snout..
The Little Brown Bear, felling so sad,
sat down and began to pout..
Along came a Bee, and said, 'let me see
if I can help you out..'
He went up his nose, and buzzed about..
The Little Brown Bear sneezed and the
Rose came out..
The Bee flew away, and the Bear called
him back..
The Bee said 'I can't it just Bees like that..

Leroy Max Poem
I try to live through each day, thinking positive thoughts in a Christian way..
Reading and believing in the Book, you see, fills a void in my soul..
It opens my eyes to see the truth, and helps me take control..
We are not alone, as I talk with you, there is a Presence that we might see..
It's moving thru us as we speak, and Jesus Smiled At Me..
Maybe, today, I'll exercise my soul, and give comfort and aid to one's needs..
And put happiness, and peace in some ones heart, cast out all hate and greed..
We are not alone, as I talk with you, there is a Presence that we might see..
It's moving thru us as we speak, and Jesus smiled at me..

Leroy Max Poem
Ready for sleep, and lying in my bed..
I heard this music spinning 'round in my head..
I wasn't dreaming, I knew it was there..
And it was coming from my Frigidaire..
As I opened up the door, to my surprise, the
Pork Chops were dancing with the Chicken Thighs..
They said, "don't bother us now, 'cause were really hot,
none of us are gonna sit in here and rot.."
Sweet Fruit and some Juices were doing it too..
And the Milk standing tall, was singing "Moo, Moo, Moo.."
As I opened up the freezer, I heard a different beat..
All of the other stuff was grooving with the Meat..
Everybody was getting down, then I gently closed the door..
But I see no rest for me tonight..
My feet keep tapping on the floor..

Leroy Max Poem
With tool and wood the craftsman slave, patience
within the soul he gave
To ever last through ages long, so very light,
but yet so strong
At his bench both day and night, with tool and chisel
he carve just right
A neck to make, and turn the scroll, the pegs to fit
he drill the hole
Hard maple back, and spruce the top, the sides he
steam and interlock
A sound post fit and so the bridge, to fit the contour
of the ridge
A piece of wood he put in place, to give it depth,
and also bass
A varnish stain of amber hue, a reddish stain to
blend too
Some Virtuoso maybe play, to give someone
a brighter day
For music make the world go round, a greater piece
of art not found
Four strings he add, and then to pitch, to test the
soul he gave so rich
A balanced bow, he now must make, the hair from
mane of horses take
Then to his hand, he draw the bow, across the strings
the music flow
A Symphony, a quiet band, a melody heard 'round the land

Leroy Max Poem
Whence comes this voice full of pain,
with which you speak to the Earth
Oh, immense Sea, articulating your emotional
depths, that brims with sadness, but celebrates
your poignant beauty too

Leroy Max Poem
I saw her walking down the street, and man she was looking pretty neat..
She had the looks and the strut, and my heart went POW..
I was saying to myself, WOW, WOW, WOW..
She turned the corner, and headed for town, I was following
close but kept low to the ground..
Then she turned and stared in my face, she had such beauty
charm and grace..
"What's your game" she began to plea..
I stuttered and replied "you talking to me.."
"Leave me alone" she said in a shout, and soon there were
people all about..
I turned on my heel, and fled the scene, little did I know
she could be so mean..
"oh well, oh well" I said to myself, "Ill just put that one on the shelf.."
There are other Chicks around, and that's a fact..
And maybe next time I won't get caught in the act..
