Lucidity

       In this world we live in today
Some would say its lost its innocence
But there’s a split  decision and some
Would say we’ve reached a deliverance

Everything is so confusing,Thin
Is the line between right and wrong
The clouds of darkness are thick
And there’s a sadness in nature’s song

It’s harder today than ever before
To walk life’s balance beam
Political Correctness is just a cover
For the left’s corruption scheme

There’s no solution to the problem
We’re past the point of no return
We’ve taken all the lessons from the
Past and we’ve refused to learn

As the world turns each moment
It slips more into instability
The human race stands on the edge of
Sanity desperately trying to keep our Lucidity

Invisible Man

       You live your life, working for the
Man clocking in and clocking out
You ask yourself what’s the purpose
What’s this life all about

Sometimes you just want to get away
Somewhere far across the sea
Just to escape the darkness that surrounds
You but a loaded gun couldn’t set you free

You’ve seen your heroes on
The big silver screen
You wish you could be like them
But you’ll never be that keen

You might feel a need for praise
That you have never gotten
But deep down you’re just hoping
To be someone that’s not forgotten

When your life on Earth is through
And it’s put under a careful scan
Will the results clearly indicate that
You were more than an Invisible Man

Light House

Light house, light house for all sailors to see
A beacon to warn the dangers of the shore
In the thickest of fogs or stormy nights
You will keep them safe for ever more

Built to last on a hill or cliff
You will stand strong and true
Lives are saved every night
When your light comes shining through

Warning, warning you’re getting to close
The rocks beneath me are jagged and large
They are capable enough to sink your ship
Whether it be an ocean liner or barge

I was put here to shine for you
I won’t let you down
As long as you heed the warning
And turn away or turn around

Thank you light house
With your light so bright
Helping all ships at sea
Sail safe in the night

You are a hero to all
Who’s lives that your light saves
You deserve all recognition
Accolades and praise

Black Diamond

      When you look into the mirror
Do you see your own reflection
When you reach into your soul
Can you feel any connection

Are you the person that everyone
Sees, are you as happy as it seems
Have you settled for your life
Or do you still have dreams

Are you in control of your own destiny
Are you the one at the Helm
Or have you surrendered your heart
To a power from another Realm

I’ll never know the depths of your
Feelings or the reason for your dark light
I’ll never know the path you walk
Or the many Demons you fight

You’re such a Toxic soul
Never to have been Enlightened
Your like a Jewel in the rough
You shine like a Black Diamond

A Candle Without A Wick

       You’re a candle without a wick
You listen to the voices in your head
You hear the Demons whisper
You’d be better off dead

You’re your own worst enemy
You’re the reason for your own pain
You walk through life without an umbrella
And subject yourself to the poison rain

You’ve lost the ability to feel love
And pleasure in your everyday
You’d rather hide in the shadows
And just simply fade away

In a world full of people, you can’t
Imagine someone else who feels the same
You think God has forsaken you and
The Devil knows your name

You tell everyone, when it comes to a
Good life you drew the shortest stick
Everyone needs to know that no one knows
Darkness like A Candle Without A Wick

I’m Too Slow For Breakfast

    I love breakfast, a good omelette
Or eggs over easy and some toast
Add sausage and hash browns too but
Sausage biscuits and gravy, I love most

But breakfast comes early and fast
And now I’m lucky if I get brunch
Time has slowed me and more times
Than not I usually just get lunch

It’s a sad, sad thing and  sometimes
I feel like a loser instead of a winner
I hate not getting a morning breakfast
So sometimes I have it for dinner

My dilemma is real for the morning
It just moves so very fast
I can’t get motivated and time
Doesn’t stop and mornings don’t last

To sum it up with my poetic description
Breakfast mornings are a swift tempest
I’m like an aged slimy slow moving snail
And I’m Too Slow For Breakfast

The Warning

     Have you heard The Warning
Well I’m spreading the News
It’s time you’ve heard their music
I tell ya you’ve got Nothin To Lose

From their first, Twenty First Century Blood
To their second Queen Of The ****** Scene
Followed by Error and Keep Me Fed
They’re consistent with their edge so Keen

It’s like a slap in the face followed
By a shocking gentle KISS
More exciting than a Roller Coaster Ride
You’ll lose yourself in the Abyss

The ladies Daniela, Paulina and
Alejandra each have beautiful souls
Feel the warmth of their Automatic Sun
And the heart break of Black Holes

The deteriorating structure of Rock & Roll
Has long been in need of restoring
We are so fortunate now its been
Left in the hands of The Warning
