Madman, no plan, fake tan
Own reflection, goes in one direction = small erection
Crackpot, despot, lie-a-lot
Inside trading, liberty taking, democracy baiting
Commie kissing, wind pissing
Ethnic cleansing, Nazi defending
Law defying, weird hair flying
Trumped up little
Star Spangled BLAGGER!
(Well, if a president can rant like a hormonal teenager in public, ...

Song Of Hope
If Hope were a song
I'd sing it all day long
I'd sing it through the night
I'd sing it from great heights!
I'd sing it ‘til my skin
Turned old & pale & thin
I'd sing it ‘til the Earth
Rejoiced in its re-birth!
If Hope were a song
I'd sing it all day long
I'd sing ‘til only love
Rained down from up above

Giving Yourself Some Stick
I threw a stick & it came back
A boomerang! It knocked my hat
I picked the stick up off the floor
And threw the bloody thing some more
But every time it came right back
I said, “C'mon, cut me some slack!”
It hit my chest, it hit my face
But, still, I threw it in disgrace
Then, found inscribed upon the thing
The words that made my sane bell ring:
Don't bea...

Icarus
I fell into a fever of dreams
Where nothing was as it seems
The world had changed, liberty frail
Captain Ahab v the great white whale
I saw the moon turning red
The autumn leaves crisply dead
Underfoot and underhand
Fill the graves with shifting sands
When Heaven falls, Hell will rise
Through corporate suits, & silken ties

liberté ou la mor
Gouge my eyes
Flay my skin
Stitch it up with mortal sin
Eat my flesh
Grind my bones
Cover me in crimson tones
No longer are we
The Land of The Free
Put self,
before sweet Liberty
Extinguish my torch
Extinguish the light
As we all ‘go gentle
into that good night’

The Last Stop
#Holocaustmemorial
There was music at Auschwitz, to greet them off the train
Then to the disinfection area
Where, they were never seen again.

Love at an AA meeting.
You were standing, coffee steaming
Misty-eyed in melancholic dreaming
My heart beating
Your smile, like the breaking of a new dawn
I stood forlorn
My sobriety, a long road of intention
To my ascension
Our eyes collided, my heart dancing
Entrancing
My feet had strayed no further than my hometown
The local clown
Though in my head I'd travelled far & wide...

Sail
Happy New Year to all at WOL!
I Sailed across a stormy sea
I wonder what became of me?
Perhaps I settled in a far off land
Where palm trees grow through golden sand?
Or, do I still sail the many seas:
A ghost ship wearing the ghost of me?
Or, maybe, Atlantis dragged me to shore
And there I wander in untold awe?
In time, we build this ship ourselves,
as the wind...
