BOW BEFORE THE CROSS

BOW BEFORE THE CROSS

The world has beaten my heart
The fire burns my soul to ash
I think I may start to fall apart
As sorrow and faith seem to crash
This is when….
…..I bow to the Cross

My enemies have thrown me
From the ship I ran...

Lame As a Stream

Drawing a target on my children's back
Making sure the snipers aim true and sure
Giving up with all the pain mixed with suffering
Giving up living in squashed in-betweens
My recorder waits to prove what I mean
Murders missing footage obscene

Guns Riddle

Secrets stash under yesterday's safe
Bullets gracefully dance waiting

Gunning down
Gunning down
Gunning down

Gunning down the paper flyer
Bullet deniers now my space
Paper flyer lay judged

Renegades space
Money slider printing gold

One Last Kiss Goodnight

One Last Kiss Goodnight

Before you lay down tonight
Think on these truths and dream
I am huddled against dread and fright
The unknown of a troublesome scheme
An outcome out of my hands
Untold certainty beyond measure
Dark and black before...

Sinking Wish

Subjects we will tell you
Fantasies about our mission accomplished
Kings trump aces in minds chained

The war machine chomping at the wargames
Bit coins dazzling trending teeth
As the blonde balding Hitler incarnate coughs blood

His coffee...

AUTOMATA-DREAM


Cowardly sacrifice or sneaky regret?! "Halfway between these two concepts, the insidious tyranny came back into vogue." In the flickering darkness of a star-moment, they grope for each other, until the totally determined loneliness cannot be...

Calling Me Home (Day 6) unedited

Day #6: Salmon Idaho to Vernal Utah

I was the first motorcyclist to leave the next morning from an overly full parking lot. It was 6:45 a.m., and you couldn’t fit even one more bike anywhere on the normally empty lot. Some late arrivals were now...

December

The shepherd was a subdued wolf.
The hermit had a cloak, a stick and a bag, and a book.

The goat was a sheep who awoke from a bear's slumber.
The wheel takes the apes across,
down, around, back and forth, up and under.

The winter...

Jehovah's creation

In summer, all is bright and fair,
I miss sunlight when it's night, with no light there.
Jehovah's creation, beyond compare.

The sun's warm rays upon my face,
In sunshine, all is bright and fair.
Brings joy and life to every place.

The...

Locust and Honey

A plastic world we been livin' in!
Ridin' a line between carcinogen,
and sweet as saigon cinnamon.
Serotonin is what we're swimmin' in-

Easyrider,
nik, nik, nik, fire.

In a stable where Zoroastrians stand and admire!
The adoration of the...

When We Cry

When the children cry do we even bother to ask why?
To the mother all alone holding onto her strength to try
Do we truly take the time
To acknowledge and brighten their day with a simple smile?
To the man all alone
Do we pray he finds his...

Dead Silence

into reality waving franticly
from the rooftop of your house
floating down the flooding river

twisters' green skies run for cover
sirens daily warning duck
undergrounds bunker scramble

fire scars breech unknown heat limits
deaths...
