United we Live
How do we unite?
When all we do is fight
How to form a more perfect union
The tears fall as I peel this onion
Life get’s a little rough
Under the city lights
You’re going to get tough
Mind your human rights
Some get to decide what is cool
Others are appointed to rule
The rest of us are played the fool
Used as nothing more than a tool
Passing moments of community
Leaves us a sense of opportunity
Living together is ever so delicate
Lacking basic decent etiquette
Personalities clash
Agendas are trash
Function and structure fray
Deficient members fall astray
Democracy in America
Will die as historical evidence
That democracy without knowledge
Is doomed to abuse of governance
Fear rages to make us irate
As le furor turns to hate
The tone raises to a fever pitch
Feel the heat in the street form a line so kitsch
Taking sides, picking fights
Naming names, keeping scores
The schism grows to new heights
Slamming doors, waging wars
The divide is based on those of attitude
The fortunate with a sense of gratitude
Your choice is to follow the hegemony
Or risk being treated as the enemy
Winners and losers
It’s a game for choosers
You better believe it
A vanquishing common ground
Where can signs of love be found?
There are two sides of this growing divide
And both have plans to divide and conquer
One side wants to tell me how to think
The other wants to tell me how to live
One side wants to rule the world
The other wants to always have their way
One tells me to leave this country
The other says I can’t live anywhere
One side tells me what I cannot think
The other tells me what I cannot do
One defines good and bad
The other fingers the bad guy
Both sides want to put you in a mental jail
And if at any time you should fail
To pass the test of correctivity
Omitting any class of objectivity
You will find out why it has to be this way
That is until you see the light of day
Seeking out signs of life
In this lost world of ours
Empty lounges and cocktail bars
Suburban lots settled in the night
With the warm glow of a burning light
Neurotic robotic plastic dolls
Always there when the telephone calls
Red Alert to the unalert
Listen up or we’re going to get hurt
We’re in trouble now
No one here knows how
To slay the cash cow
Time for a smoking hot powwow
Ready to put this baby in overdrive
Feed the eternal pursuit to feel alive
Unblock the gridlock
Unlock this timeclock
It’s a long time coming
In a place that’s far out
Is this all I’ll ever know?
I have no place in this history
So I take a deep breath
And tell myself this is eternity
I know this intellectual quest
This Earthly realm shall digest
This sack of water with a stack of bones
Is left to disintegrate into the stones
Searching for the voices of our time
Hearing the silence is sublime
With all apologies for these realities
It goes without saying to the casualties
Winners and losers
It’s a game for choosers
You better believe it
Or Else
Mistical Knowledge
What do you see?
When you look into the mist
Is it something concrete?
Or do you get the gist
How can you know?
When all that you think
And all that you feel
Comes from the same drink
In our brain
What we think we know
We don't understand
Nothing is complete
Our senses are filled with delight
Until our mind loses sight
In the struggle for the mind
Insecurity leaves us blind
Being stressed is the norm
Common sense shapes us to conform
Until we can’t see the mold
Except when we catch a cold
Just tell me all the myths
I was taught to hold in high regard
From the time when I was young
Tell me that this story must be true
And I will surely believe in you
A primal message of consumption
Infiltrates our entire life
Over and over again we pay
For the mental programs we play
Sealing the deal
With this Social contract
Covering all escapes
Restricting real contact
We know not who we are
Let alone what we do
Every civilization has left its ruin
Tell me why
We don’t know
What we’re doin
Spelling it out
This world that exists
Extolling a doubt
That we should persist
Checking that twice
All must be repeated
We still haven’t learned
What history has deleted
And this road doesn’t go on forever
All of these stories have been told
And if we are feeling clever
we’ll figure it out before we’re too old
And now it seems
It’s all a dream
Reality
Has become
A popularity contest
Reality
Is more than we know
And less than we think
Reality
Is an illusion du jour
So much more for us to know
How will we ever live to grow
Following these mindless rules
Enlightenment is for fools
Our possessions
Are the anchor
Constraining us from letting go
Our conceptions
Are the structures
That separates us from the whole
I am reaching out
Open to receive
I am giving love
With all I believe
I believe
We can have a better life
To conceive
That life is not a struggle
If we unite
We shall know a better day
More than saying love love love
Elevate our connection
Stop the push and shove shove shove
An essential correction
Unlocking the mysteries of our time
Finding the riddle in each rhyme
Imagining the magic of our kind
Infinite universal beauty
Emanating from our mind
Capital Kings
In a world with so much hate
Peace will have to wait
Women and Children die
Justice is a lie
In a world with so much greed
Possession is a need
Everyone has a price
Can’t you just learn to play nice
The money men rule the day
They know how to get their way
You better take their loan
There is nothing they can’t own
Capitol Kings of the West
Really want to invest
You better make a deal
Or they’ll just have to steal
And just think,
how that would make them feel
In a world with so much fear
Hopes and dreams will disappear
There is nothing we can trust
Except in the allure of lust
As the world bleeds of unmet needs
In the dark, a woman and man breeds
A drive that eternally feeds
Subjects for the programming needs
Capitol kings of the west
Will put you to the test
Swallow their bitter pill
Their gonna break your will
Capitol kings of the west
Sure that they know best
Swallow their bitter pill
Its gonna make you ill
Welcome to the house of fire
It will fuel your desire
You can have fun on the hunt
But you can’t get what you want
Do you want to keep on trying?
Well, you can’t have that either
Your life will be consumed
Our balance of life is doomed
The Almighty dollar reins supreme
Mother nature’s answer gathers steam
Capital Kings of the west
Sure that they are blessed
They’re going in for the kill
Never gonna get their fill
Everyone quick stand still
There is gunna be a war
And its gunna cost you more
… than it ever has before
They’ve gotta have a war
And they don’t care what it’s for
If history is our proof
We’ll never know the truth
I am far beyond grief
In a state of disbelief
In a world that’s full of hate
We will self obliterate
There is no time to wait
We must retaliate
Life in Progress
If I could
I surely would
As it is
I just don’t know
Only time will tell
So many thoughts come to mind
Trying to leave the past behind
As I look for a future I can’t find
Past thoughts about the present
Presently thinking about the past
Being in the moment
Contemplating the future
Future thoughts about the present
Too many thoughts I can’t finish
I can’t complete this gibberish
A connection unfinished
The meaning is diminished
The future is now
And the past is present
Take my consciousness away
And I will live for today
This time we merely borrow
It leaves us no tomorrow
Every time I try to care
I find a world that isn’t fair
Now we’re heading for a void
And I’m going to get annoyed
If I can’t find that empty space
Where my mind can be my face
Then we can peel the layers away
Until there is nothing left to say
Themes in the Volume
All I seek in this vast array
Is to comprehend life today
A necessary thought to express
These words seem to be in excess
An idea comes to my mind
Eloquent words I can’t find
A thought passes by
Right before my eye
And at last I can see
Meaning comes to me
Just when I give it form
From it’s source it is torn
It begins to take a shape
An illusion without an escape
The concept commences to solidify
I know to some this will mortify
The thought I no longer can identify
Don Money
I apologize for being dark
These realities are a bit stark
The working stiff lives to stay alive
A frenetic race to win the day
Living to feed our burning drive
We plead with the man for a better way
Big Don money rises to take charge
With his gentile taste for living large
The law of the land
Is the law of the jungle
Every man (sic) for himself
Give me mine
My money is mine
He seeks profit with the greatest intent
Dollar signs are what makes him content
The comfort of this pleasure
Overwhelms his sense of danger
Moneyman looks good in a monkey suit
His red hot rod is a real fast beaut
Persistent tremors from a distant land
Force don money to overplay his hand
Once again he makes a dirty deal in the sand
For now and forever slighted people join to stand
Moneyman you live by the court
Trial by law is your favorite sport
The tables are spinning its your turn
Lets see what common folks can learn
When put before the tribunal
Don money felt like it was his funeral
The judge is obliged to instruct
Of the consequences if you obstruct
You are accused of building an empire of greed
Don money tell your servants how do you plead
Sire, I object to your objective
I serve the greater collective
Don’t bore me with your details
And you can’t forget the emails
I’m an innocent man fighting the good fight
I live like I do cause money gives me the right
I won big cause I’m really smart
I deserve to put the house before the cart
I have committed no crime
My money is mine
I count it all the time
I sure am doing fine
And the learned judge lividly retorts
Not according to these investigative reports
Moneyman you are way overpreoccupied
With chasing your fantastical desires
Your objection is denied you shall be tried
And we can forego the parade of liars
Testifying that you are a pillar of their side
Moneyman is inflamed
The judge must be shamed
To his last will and testament
He tweets an official statement
Proclaiming his belief in the god
I am a 24k solid gold player
Rescue me I’m the swamp slayer
Your honor I submit with zero deference
Laughing with delight at his confidence
Money man slams the table and declares
I will crush you with brutal nightmares
I am the man with the gall
And I have the where with all
Lives to be had and lives to be taken
This life’s a game of money makin
Warping our minds around a dollar bill
Moneyman minions stand ready to make millions
Defending the free market and ready to kill
The parish is in a feeding frenzy
This witch hunt for justice offends me
Distancing themselves from these capitol crimes
Claiming they’re just a product of our times
Telling tales selling lies
Devising means for dividing pies
When greed rules the profit will rise
………..
Don Money
It ain’t funny
She’s not your bunny
Food for thought

Story bout life when someone gets old

Inflamed tissue burns deeply everywhere

Read our brochure for the next cure your sure to want
It’s a long road to heal on this lifestyle front
It will take an army of doctors on the ground
Still the odds are slim if our diet isn’t sound
