Leverage
I’ve peeled off my skin for you
I’ve let you crunch my bones,
Consume beyond my flesh
Beyond my visceral tissues
Beyond my beating heart
Beyond the fibres of my being
Down to my soul
I’ve let you gobble up my spirit
I’ve let you slurp up my mind
Lick the lasting crumbs
of my emotions
Everything in me
Everything making me, me
All that constructs me
All...

Church Nursery
You were in that church nursery,
where they forced you to play.
They made you share your toy,
with that boy, who kept stealing it.
They got mad, when you beat him,
with that red fire truck.
They said you were bad, and needed
a long time out.
Everyone made a big deal,
and you learned a lot that day.
That day, your mom never went back.
But you went back on that...

Nobody seems happy today
Striving struggles to hack it
Your rivals always have more
They revel in a higher bracket
My neighbour has a bigger car
My life's not worth a mention
My wife isn't pretty enough
My dick needs an extension
Do such woes have answers?
How to make the most of living?
Why not abstain from greed
And for a change try giving?
My n...

Go for the Glow
Go for the glow
of good health.
Go for the glow
of a clear conscious.
Go for the glow
of forgiveness.
Go for the glow
of dreaming fearlessly.
Go for the glow
of giving generously.
Go for the glow
of loving unconditionally.
Go for the glow
of a life well lived.

What I Have
I am a Have and a lot I've got,
Not as much as many but
More than those who have not.
Riches may come, they will go.
Does the weight of my estate trouble,
Bow me low?
If I gave it all away
Then to The Father began to pray
Would he find my prayers more sweet
Because I begged upon the street?
What I have is mine until its gone.
Given, taken, found, lost,

The power of giving
what is life without a fight
without rights
do we live to fight for our rights
when is it right to fight
to write about fighting for rights in this life
this short life
before you know it it's over
it's done
your day has gone
the only rights you got now are your last
last rights
memories
they're flashing before you
visions of all that you seen and who saw you
your brothers your siste...

When the World is Not Enough
You pick up the trees and you wave them like fans
But her face continues to sweat.
You unravel the ground and you drain it of soil
But her stomach never rounds,
Her mouth remains open.
You bottle up the ocean till all water is extinct
Yet she continues to faint of thirst.
You take life from the earth,
You remove breath from the world
And she continues to perform still bi...
