What is this pain that wakes you
Why does this nightmare shake you
These demons coming to break you
And yet in silence suffering
Counting days slowly passing
Hiding screams that no one knows
Who is there to blame
For the pressure and pain
To look within for blame or fault
For their faces tell the story
They seek for truths that lay hidden
And truths they never find

They blame it all on Hitler
They watched with joy when then got her
And him
Seems the people like those who are dim
They shoot the bullets
They gave them haircuts worse than mullets
Hey everybody! They're shooting them in the square!
As long as it ain't me who loses his hair
Then after it was all revealed
The guilty started to squeal
We didn't know it was going on
Innocent people killed like Ron, Don, and John
The ironic thing is they were liberated by Russians from camps
While Russian had their own camps
24 million Russians are dead
10 million killed by Nazi Death Heads
The US of A was the good guy
Even good ol England gave being the good guy a try
For awhile at least
We were not the beast

My lips tasting
salt on my tongue,
From bloodshot eyes
the rivers run,
Streams and creeks
cascade my cheeks,
Oceans of weakness
continually leak,
The sadness is vast
And very deep,
With the weight of the world
I bitterly weep,
And partake of the sweetest drink...

The night clouds move,
I see the stars,
So very far apart from ours,
Are we alone?,
Is there more?,
What comes after?,
What came before?,
Questions burning in the brain,
I feel as if I am insane,
I feel a constant inner pain,
I feel humanity's to blame,
I feel so much for mother earth,
I feel her sorrow, sadness, hurt,
I see the loss of many things,
Species now but distant dreams,
Toxicity in rivers and streams,
Rainbows rising from the steam,
As light beams down on a broken world,
On broken boys and broken girls,
With broken lives and broken hearts,
When does it end?,
When did it start?,
Everything we tear apart,
From ocean bottom to mountain top,
The destruction seems so hard to stop,
We attack our plants,
Our rocks...,
Building cities on natures face,
Ego grows,
We forget our place,
What must we see?,
When will we learn?,
Men watch entire countries burn...

I am the eagle as he flies,
See through his eyes as if they were mine,
My vision increases a thousand times,
I glide for what seems like hours,
Wild with primal power,
I dive to devour a rabbit,
Heard it squeal as dove to grab it,
The claws pierce flesh,
The fresh meat,
Blood drips from beak as I eat,
What a treat,
A life of ease,
Vast in simplicities,
Amazing in complexities,
No wants just necessities,
Humans are blessed to be on this earth,
Often given a gift we dont deserve,
This game seems absurd and fake,
Sometimes I need a break,
Sometimes I need to escape...

You've been with me through it all
When it turned dark you stayed
When I gave birth to death
You cradled my hurt away

When I pierced my skin
You raged through my veins
And when I finally slept
You haunted my restless dreams

When men refused to listen
To my pointless no's
You gave me pleasure to the pain
Behind their frightful blows

On the streets, You protected me
You gave me inner strength
Back at home you saved me
From that horrid beast

And when I was so little
You were like a loving dad
Too bad your just a fantasy
Dirty thoughts inside my head

I once belonged to a a quiet union.
While working for The Man.(gov)
Who got replaced for whatever reason.
and the workers benefited negatively and got shoved.
Things went downhill and the pension was over funded.
We stopped paying till there was a significant redundant.
And the union is even quieter.
Yet they still don't love me and are wiser.
Sooner or later it will be over.
Remmember November.

Oh! lamenting beads of this sad rosary
may reveal its thunder, silent, quietly
in languid speech, ever labouring still,
amid Heaven's black and barren chill,
Alas! Rancour cold holds sombre court,
to its dull diary, colourless, distraught,
whilst embers emptiness perpetually burns,
as the malevolent wheel of torture turns,
to provoke wounds of memory, that shallow dart
abolished joy from sweet its youthful art
of childhood love, whose undemanding needs,
bound by worthy thoughts and chaste chaliced deeds,
its sobering truth in sad array did take
the brightest day and into darkness make,
to entomb all living freedom, as a slave,
to the perverse chamber of shame's lowly grave.

Pray, Pray passing years may leave behind
grief's sorrowed suffering of foul deeds unkind,
then may light the black and backward hour erase,
to paint again the long forgotten flowers,days
unfold, as the waiting splendour of dawning day,
whose awakening sun with rising beams convey
a gathered loveliness, a cloudless sparkling sky
may soothe tears, where deepest thoughts still lie,
and unfold my eyelids from the scroll of cruelty,
then drink love's reverence in anxious purity.

Fear the Night!

In The darkness of the night

The howling wolves did roar

A witch was seen in Moon lit beams

On a broomstick she did soar

From mother earth to way up high

It was the night of nights of Gremlins

Filled with all sorts of scary frights

The owls did hoot and bats did fly

Watch out for things in the nightly sky

Ghosts will suddenly appear

Watch out ~ they want to scare you dear

Black cauldrons were all a ~ bubble

Witches brew stirred toil & trouble

Have a drink with me ~ my dear

Give to me your neck ~ no fear

Feel my fangs, their sharpness deep

Then other’s blood we will seek!

I will share my casket dear

Then other people will have to fear!

Frustration tightens the noose,
So I try to let it loose,
But who can hear
With fingers in their ears?
So many times I've tried
To make my feelings known,
But their mouths open wide
And their minds clamp down.
They hold on to their views
Of how things ought to be,
And say the path they choose
Is the one that's best for me.
