A Little Piece of Me
Untitled
"And woman is the ocean,
The man in the moon did say.
"And she comes hither to me
And then she runs away.
So many things I do not see
So many things I cannot understand
I wonder what goes on inside her
What lies beneath her sands
She stares at me with deep blue eyes
Her smile gleaming white
I watch her move throughout the day
And light her way at night
A billion watchmen steady through and through
Guard us when the night comes
And her eyes are no longer blue
I look into the pools of darkness
Longing to feel her pain
She never sleeps , or cries, or needs
So I fear my longing is in vain
When I kiss her lightly
She nods her head my way
And when the darkness is no longer there
I realize she will not stay.
Politically Correct
I gotta headache - crashin in my head
Gonna make it better-
Pull the trigger now I am dead-
I don't believe in suicide - but aspirin does no good-
The crashin getting louder - I would stop it if I could-
The world is spinin around me -
It shows no sign of slowin-
A million miles a second - that's how fast its goin-
No sign of the apocalypse - the world will never end-
It's hard to tell you what I mean-
I am not sure where to begin-
I will tell you what I know - you might not understand-
I cannot tell you lies I guess - I'll make it as easy as I can-
I hate to tell you this my friend-
But the government has you fooled - please let me finish-
Keep your engines cooled-
I know you wont accept it - no matter what I say-
But if the government could - I am sure they would-
Kill us all today.
Your vote ain't worth a damn - don't matter who you are-
After you pay taxes - your buck wont take you very far-
They tell you it's ok now - and everything is fine-
And though I hate to break it to you-
They are just messing with your mind.
Most politicians smile a lot - I have noticed that before-
But you mean next to nothing-
Unless you are a whore.
So on the next election day-
When you are deciding whom to choose-
No matter who you pick or don't won't make them win or lose.
I hope I set you straight now-
It was something I couldn't neglect-
I hope you are not offended-
I am only being politically correct.
Damn society
Damn society
For saying I cannot be me
Damn society
For keeping you from me
Society says I cannot love you
Society says don't touch
To hell with society
Pious liars with their morals
Saintly bigots with their creeds
Society stitches quickly
But still its members bleed
All the hatred keeping us apart
Intolerant people
Who rant about tolerance
You say I cannot be different
You say I must conform
Damn society
For trying to decide the norm
Damn society
For giving love a name
Damn society
For pouring water on my flame.
A Metaphor
I struggle with my obsessive past
Never let shy delusions fall into our reality
Truth, fantasy, reason
Creativity can be beautiful
Who we are
Passion
Spirit
Dreams
To fear their high will only cloud my memory
Alas, life is over summer leaves
Dream of moons over the ocean
Surreal winter landscapes dissolved in lyrical rain
Reconcile! Or go beneath the earth
Among the wicked children
Who are thrown into the twilight.
