World Of Tomorrow

    I was born in nineteen sixty two
I was still a baby during Vietnam
As I grew older I began to realize
There’s never going to be a calm

Never thought that my eyes would
Witness a day like Nine One One
There’s never going to be peace
Until all the Humans are Gone

I remember when I was young
There was an echo of a future so bright
But we can’t even get along with ourselves
And that future is as dark as night

Once America was strong and men
Were men with their masculinity
Now they’re wearing dresses and mascara
And cry if we don’t identify their insanity

As I pray to God with tears in my eyes
And my heart filled with sorrow
I’m also grateful that I’ll die and I won’t
Have to live in the World Of Tomorrow

Under Construction

      When I tell people that I follow Jesus
They always have the same assumption
They think that I’m perfect but I tell them
No it just means I’ve had my introduction

I’m still a human and I’m still gonna make
Mistakes so I’m still a product in production
I still live here on Earth and my life still
Has its moments of interruption

The Devil tries desperately to deceive
And I must overcome his obstructions
I always witness people of power with
The willingness of their corruption

I have a family and we all love each other
Despite our obvious dysfunction
Though the past was a difficult one
We’ve all survived it’s destruction

So don’t give me a label of perfection
I’m just trying to follow instructions
So think of me like a growing city and
Understand  I’m always Under Construction

Black & White

    Once not so very long ago
When life was in a simpler time
Parents taught their children well
And there was reason in the rhyme

Morals and manners and common courtesy
To treat other with kindness and respect
But now generations later its something
That’s succumb to great neglect

Parents stopped parenting and tried
To be their children’s best friend
The word no started to be challenged
Parents caved so friendships wouldn’t end

Now the world is crying out loud
This incredible sad sad song
No one wants to acknowledge that
We were incredibly so so wrong

Now there’s no truth because the truth
Is lost in the vast universe of lies
The children have their participation
Trophies and we feel so proud and wise

But boys are wearing dresses and girls
Are covering their beauty with tattoos
And they’re wearing combat boots
As we’re all being fed one set of views

There’s chaos and confusion we’re lost
In the mist of grays with no wrong or right
The foundation has crumbled and blurred
Has become the clearness of Black & White

Rising Hope

       I open my eyes to a new day
And I think about its opportunities
I know that things can go both ways but
I’m trying to be positive of the possibilities

I give my thanks to God for waking
Up to another day of life in the light
Because I understand the miracle
Of surviving the death of the night

I’m just a simple man living in the moment
I’m not a wise man always giving advice
But I’ve experienced both extremes from
The heat of the fire and the cold of the ice

I can tell you only what I know when I’m
Confronted by the Demons in the shadow
When I’m in the middle of the darkness of
The storm I search for the rainbow

It’s the comfort of the promise and it’s
What gives me the strength to cope
When things are going wrong my heart
Is always filled with Rising Hope

Goodbyes

      The first comes with the loss of your
Innocence in your walk of life
When you realize that love
Can cut you like a knife

When you’re no longer Naive
And not so willing to trust
And you wonder how many times you
Can get knocked down into the dust

When your heart breaks because
You have to leave your love behind
When you think that love again is
Something you’ll never find

And again when someone you love
Passes away and you drown in sorrow
These are the times when you wonder
If the Sun will rise tomorrow

Living life can be so wonderful but it can
Also drain all the tears from your eyes
Over time through the passing years as
We come face to face with all the goodbyes

Ghost Shadow

    I’m a ghost shadow, that which
You see out of the corner of your eye
I’m a ghost shadow it’s like having
Truth but the truth is a lie

I’m a darkness that follows you
I’m a question without an answer why
I’m the reason for your sadness
That makes you want to cry

I’m the never ending madness
That’s driving you insane
And with everything you lose
It becomes my gain

I’m a ghost shadow like a constant chill
And I’m always near
I’m a ghost shadow I’m the reason
For your unnerving fear

I’m a ghost shadow, I’m calling your
Name and you can’t deny
I’m a ghost shadow, the shiver down
Your spine when know your gonna die

I’m always gonna be with you
Wherever you may go
You know you can never escape me
I’m your Ghost Shadow

Watching You & Watching Me

From the beginning to eternity
All eyes are on deck
Causing all of your anxiety
Executing their ICU project

Because they’re afraid of a rebellion
Or are they afraid of our brain waves
Or is it our freedom of speech, or is it
Keeping control over their slaves

From me to you, what’s the game
Are we supposed to be blind
Can’t get away, can’t get away, can’t
Escape, all I want is my peace of mind

Beware I say of retaliation, beware
Of any negative thoughts or post
Obtain your knowledge, you cannot
**** the virus when you’re the host

Remember they see every word and every
Pic this I can guarantee
Their Eyes penetrating deep
They’re Watching You & Watching Me

MY LADY SUGAR

      Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
Why are you trying to affect my reality
Sugar, oh sugar, sugar
Why are you killing me

Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
You get too much you get too high
Sugar, oh sugar, sugar
Not enough and you’re gonna die

Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
I was trapped in your Hell
Sugar, oh sugar, sugar
You had me under your spell

Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
In the evening I felt your heat
Sugar, oh sugar, sugar
I always craved for your sweet

Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
I know our battle is brand new
Sugar, oh sugar, sugar
But I’m through with you

Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
Numbers gave you rounds one & two
Sugar, oh sugar, sugar
But since then my numbers are true

So in claiming victory don’t be so eager
Ah sugar, oh sugar, sugar
I think you’ll find I’m not so meager
I will defeat you MY LADY SUGAR

Chuck Was Here

    I’m just a nobody, just another forgetful
Face in a world of so many faces
Like one drop of water in the Ocean
Touching the shores of so many places

I do my best to care for others but I know
That I’ll be forgotten like yesterday’s news
I love my Rock & Roll but I can identify
With its origin as it comes from the blues

I talk to Jesus on a regular basis
I think of him as my best friend
And I understand that my life here
On Earth will come to an end

I still see the world as a beautiful place
But it’s getting uglier every day
And I don’t know why because it still
Won’t matter when the Lord takes me away

I wonder will I be remembered or not, yet for
Reasons that are still not completely clear
There’s something from inside me that
Wants The future to know Chuck Was Here

Quantum Universe

      We are the Quantum in the Universe
The smallest discrete quantity
We are like grains of sand in the vastness
We are the strange oddity

We’re all Space travelers moving through
Space at a high rate of speed
In a relatively quick temporary life span
With false prestige and focused on greed

It’s every Man for Himself so to speak
With glimpses of love and passion
But increasingly it seems we’re consumed
By material things and the latest fashion

The future was supposed to be better
We were supposed to learn from the past
Yet here we are repeating the same mistakes And the end is approaching fast

We must stop to remember that we are
One in the same regardless of how diverse
We must love each other and embrace
Our existence in our Quantum Universe

No Rhyme Nor Reason

       Just like the guy who’s feet
Are to big for his bed, I heard in a song
Life is too short for fussing and fighting
That stuff takes much too long

What side of the fence are you on and
The difference can you rise above
Is it worth killing strangers, is it
Worth killing someone you love

In a lifetime so temporary, can you afford
To Really take a stand and draw the line
I laugh at your ignorance and integrity
It’s like fighting over Whiskey or Wine

Over politics are you really ready for
Ignoring the lessons from Civil War
Instead of fighting the enemy of foreign
Foe we fight each other on our own shore

In the middle of Summer I feel the Winter
Closing in with its cold season
Must love die in the battle of stupidly
In the darkness of No Rhyme Nor Reason

There’s No Remedy

       Warning my words come with a
Warning, I’m never gonna be PC
I won’t be a captive in a world
With chains to bind me

I will speak my mind so don’t try to
Make me live in your transgender fantasy
That’s your world not mine, I wish
To stay in my own world of reality

I keep my Faith while living in this World
When everything is so misleading
And there’s not a Band aide large
Enough to stop the bleeding

There’s a virus that everyone is ignoring
And it’s spreading rapidly out of control
No one is safe from its infectious attack
It easily destroys the heart and soul

It replaces who we are in the most dangerous theft of our identity
America has past the point of no return

Defying Gravity

     It’s hard to hide in the dark when you’re
The Darkness ruled by your own personality
And it’s hard to walk in the light when you’re
The Brightness struggling with the Duality

There’s always something to keep you down
Life at times can be such a Calamity
And every day we encounter cruel people
And suffer from their insensitivity

Sometimes I just want to close my eyes
And live a life in a wonderful fantasy
But I know I can’t do that and if I did I would
Eventually have to open them to my reality

I have come face to face with Death
And I know about my own mortality
But just maybe with my poetry I’ve
Found a way to achieve an Immortality

And with everything that tries to bring
Me Down I keep my strong mentality
But I couldn’t do it on my own and Jesus
Is the one that keeps me Defying Gravity

A Place Called Shadeville

Well I was on the road of the straight and
Narrow and everything was going well
But my baby up and left me and now
I’m driving on the highway to Hell

Faster and faster I’m spiraling
Further and further down
I think I’m past the point of no return
And I can’t seem to turn myself around

A cloud of darkness is hanging over me
And I have no hope for a better tomorrow
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But here I am drowning in my sorrow

Up ahead in the distance I see a neon light
I need a place to stop so that I can think
I need some food for nourishment and
I could use a nice stiff drink

So I pulled into the parking lot to get a
Grip on the way that I feel
The sign outside says The Grumpy Goat
And it’s in A Place Called Shadeville

The Last Time

     Today I’m walking in Sunshine
Free from yesterday’s rain
Today my life is full of Joy
Free from yesterday’s pain

Today my eyes are wide open
And there’s beauty in what I see
Now that the vail of darkness
Can no longer hide it from me

There’s a new awareness in all of
My senses now that the truth is revealed
I’ve surrendered my life, I’m born again
All of my brokenness has been healed

I can’t believe that I wanted to take my
Own life in a time long ago
And if I had, the life I live now
Is a life I would never know

And now that sound of Hells Bells
As they constantly chime
Is a sound that has been silenced
And I’ve heard them for The Last Time

Upside Down

        Sometimes it makes no sense
In the light it’s still too dark to see
There’s no chains binding
But still I can’t break free

I can do everything just right
And ultimately I’m still wrong,
I feel like I’m just a broken melody
A Crackling sound without a song

I can be so high and still rising up
Yet I can feel so down
Like I’m driving on the highway
And all the signs are telling to turn around

It’s a phenomenon that I can never explain
Let alone try to understand
Like having my body and my brain
But to each they’re foreign land

I’m always alone in a crowded room
The voices are loud but there’s no sound
I’m walking through life but it’s not right
It’s like everything is Upside Down

The Last Dinosaur

     Once there was eight born in order
Three males and a female and repeat
First there was School and then came
Work all within the system of defeat

I was number six of the eight but life
Came to each in different ways
And nothing is ever as clear as black
And white it’s filled with shades of grays

Dinosaur one his retirement came natural
Dinosaur two the same but not for three
And not for four, five is still working but
Soon naturally he will also be finally free

Number five and I came close to death
Him only once but I was four times dead
But seven and eight they too dropped out
Early and no longer chase the bread

Five told me that the social worker was
Working on his plan to walk out the door
Now obviously after the simple math
You guessed it, I’m The Last Dinosaur

The Last Exodus

       Modern man has had his reign
Annihilation is ultimately inevitable
Lawlessness has taken up domain
The message of Jesus is undeliverable

The people live in denial and un excepting
Of the gift of their blessedness
They live carefree and without Consequences indulging in their decadence

With a lack of acknowledgement comes
A life that’s connectionless
And without a Devine intervention
We become a society that’s directionless

The choice is of our free will and we’re so
Accepting of all of the behavior indecorous
And our time is running out and we must
Rediscover that which is precedence

It’s time to put the Creator our Lord
Jesus first again and know his excellence
If we wish our souls to be received in
Heaven upon the time of The Last Exodus

Under Your Midnight Sun

    I took a walk in the forest of your love
But through the thick I could not see
I heard the howling of the wolves
I knew you were coming for me

I knew my life would never be the same
What was written would be done
I knew that I had to surrender,
I saw the rise of your Midnight Sun

(C) Under Your Midnight Sun
I was frozen in my tracks
I didn’t dare to run
Now I hunger for the Darkness
Under Your Midnight Sun

When you got your claws into me
Your cut was quick and deep
And when I bled and screamed
You knew I was yours to keep

You know I saw the warning signs
But they were something I chose to ignore
I try not to think about it too much for
You always leave me wanting more

(C)Under Your Midnight Sun
I was frozen in my tracks
I didn’t dare to run
Now I hunger for the Darkness
Under Your Midnight Sun

(Music interlude—Solo)

(B) And like the waves crashing on the shore
You always come knocking at my door
And I see the Animal in your eyes
And it doesn’t take me long to realize
I’m just a man and I was born to sin
And I always let you in
Because I hunger for the Darkness

The Price Of This Mistake

        It’s after midnight and I’m looking
Out my window watching the pouring rain
Uncontrollably my tears are falling, I never
Knew a heart could endure such pain

I know it was my fault, and my apologies
Feel like worthless words I just say
I can’t turn back the hands of time
But oh how I wish there was a way

If I could have or if I would have done
What I should have but it’s too late
Now I must carry on without you
And face the destiny of my fate

Maturity comes from lessons learned
As we grow from day to day
But I’m a slow learner and I always
Seem to learn things the hard way

They say that time always heals but I
Fear for this could be an eternal heartbreak
And I know I’ll spend the rest of my life
Paying The Price Of This Mistake

It’s Very Deep

       Sometimes I feel fuzzy and full
Of love and happiness and affection
And other times there’s a darkness
And life is going in the wrong direction

Sometimes there’s no philosophy
And thoughts are worthless or cheap
But then there’s times when I can
Surprise myself with something deep

Thus is the case with this but you might
Want to smack me and call me a creep
So you might not want to continue
Reading this and take that leap

Poetry is something that I dig
And I know you dig it so true
So we dig it and he digs it and
She digs it and they dig it too

And so now that it’s done
I hope you feel that it wasn’t too steep
But I hope we can all agree
That at least It’s very deep

Inter Me

      Who am I, do I even know myself
Thoughts I have some old and some new
I try to keep an open mind, I’m not
Afraid to see a different view

If you look closely, you will see
Variations of one dominant personality
It’s not necessarily a confirmation
That there’s a glitch in my reality

I’m just a man with a heart of gold
My intentions are usually good
But no matter what I say or do
Sometimes I’m still miss understood

My thoughts I transform into my
Poetry with words that tend to rhyme
Forever on the internet riding a wave
On an invisible cloud in space and time

And with each one posted it’s clear
To see the range of my diversity
And see my soul to the Devil will never
Be sold, so keep reading to inter me

On A Feather In The Wind

      As I continue to age, it just
Keeps Getting Harder to pretend
I’m past the point of no return
And life is closer to the end

I’ve Rock & Rolled all nite and partied
Every day and now I must comprehend
Holding on to sixteen as long as I can is
Crazy, now I guess it’s time to transcend

As the cloud of depression covers me
And the Demons begin to descend
I have a Butterfly Angel watching over me
And against them my life she will defend

But even she can’t stop my natural decline
And time will pass with out a way to suspend
And my time will come and no money
Can ever buy any time to extend

But baby If I should go before you
You’ll still feel my love deep within
Every day you’ll still receive my love
I will send it On A Feather In The Wind

Live, Love, Forgive And Pray

      Sometimes I feel like a ship in the
Middle of a storm trying to stay a float
I fight back my tears with everything
I’ve got but there’s that lump in the throat

I wish I could be just like a river and
I could take the path of least resistance
But the heart inside of me refuses to
Yield and continues in its persistence

When the rain comes the river rises
And the gentle flow begins to rage
When times get tough in life if our story
Is to continue we must turn the page

Life is a journey and we never know what’s
Over the next hill or around the next bend
When the rest of the world lets us down
We know Jesus can be our only friend

This life is too short for our troubles and
Our past and tomorrow can be a better day
If we all take a deep breath and learn
To Live, Love, Forgive And Pray

When Comes The Rain

      Though I know we set each other free
It still hurts to see you with someone new
I guess my heart must still be breaking
It’s telling me that I still love you

I could see it in your eyes, you were in
Love and loving the way he made you feel
But I could see his eyes were roaming
And his love for you isn’t real

I see a forecast of a brewing storm
And it shouldn’t be so surprising
The atmospheric pressure has been
Hinting of a bad Moon rising

I know you think it’s my jealousy but I
Tell you I’ve come to terms with my mistake
I just want what’s best for you and you
Can’t see what is so obviously fake

I want you to know, I’ll lay down on the
Tracks in front of this doomed runaway train
When the lightning flashes and the thunder
Rolls, I’ll be here When Comes The Rain

Take It Back

       Since The first time we met
Somehow I guess I stole your heart
And you gave me your love ignoring
All the red flags from the very start

You told yourself you were the Angel
That was here to save my soul
But clearly you were blinded and you
Couldn’t see the Devil was in control

Despite all that was against you it
Amazed me how you always gave your best
Though you never really made any
Progress and you always failed the test

I had truly convinced myself that
There would never come a day
No I never thought you could give up
On love and you’d just walk away

I kept pushing your limits to see how
Far you would bend before you would break
I guess this was the last straw and
It was more than you could take

I shouldn’t be surprised after constantly
Shaking the foundation, it would crack
And as easily as you gave your love to me
There’d come a day you’d Take It Back

Shinigami

           When there’s a fire, there’s
Always smoke that billows
When you feel a presence of evil, there’s
Always a Demon hiding in the shadows

When you feel Claustrophobic, you
Always seem to lose your breath
When you feel yourself panic, you
Always feel like you’re closer to death

When someone has Nyctophobia, it’s
Known as a fear of the dark
When someone has a deal with the Devil, it’s
Known as a contract with Hells Monarch

When you hear stories of deaths forest, you
Know one is speaking about the Aokigahara
When you hear stories of sudden death, you
Know one is speaking about the Mara

When Japanese warn of Aokigahara, they
Are warning of the forest dark deity
When Japanese warn of deaths Reaper, they

Closed For Repairs

       Well I put myself out there
I decided to take a chance
When I climbed the tree of life, I guess
I came to rest on the weakest branch

They said I’d never find love
If I kept to myself and kept so reserved
They said to open up and I would
Find love and get what I deserved

So I found myself a beautiful woman
I opened up and let her inside
I felt free and comfortable and
There was nothing I tried to hide

I was flying high on the wings of love
I learned what it was like to fall
Now the pain is unbearable and I know
It’s something I never wish to recall

She broke my heart and the damage is
Severe and there’s no pain that compares
So now I’ll just hide away in my safe place
And this heart will be Closed For Repairs

The Wolf You Feed

    The forces are real, invisible but
But obviously they can still be seen
If you observe your surroundings
It’s as clear as red and green

It’s as simple as our morals
To do what’s wrong or what’s right
To live in the love of the day
And not die in the darkness of night

The bottom line is it all depends
Upon your own wisdom and choice
When the Demon and Angel whisper
Which one becomes the strongest voice

Is it the Wolf of light and hope
The Wolf of darkness and despair
Tell me you’re not oblivious to the
The forces you must be aware

My words of wisdom are already your
Knowledge to which is your Creed
Because your survival and happiness
Depends upon The Wolf You Feed

Invisible

     Alone again in a crowded room,
Am I dead or just dead to you
Do I still have a breath of life
Or have I gone cold and blue

So close and yet so far away
We were reaching for it all
Climbing to the top but now it’s
Clear that I have taken a fall

I speak my words but it’s like
They’re just sounds of silence
I can’t understand why you’re
So steadfast in your defiance

You’ve got no room for compromise
But love can’t be bought or sold
I tried to give you everything but
You left me standing alone in a world so cold

When our love was new you had
A way of making me feel invincible
But now everything has changed so
Drastically and  I feel I’m Invisible

Total Eclipse

      As the Sun Rises high into
The blue midday sky
Today the Moon will conquer
If only for a few moments the Sun will die

America will be in the shadow
As a witness to this small victory
This is a very special event in our lives
It’ll certainly be a highlight in our history

God gives us signs using the Sun and
Planets but what is he trying to say
Could this be a Warning, is he telling us
That soon we will see our last day

Will this day be the beginning of decades
Of torture and agony as The world dies
As once again God makes the final decision
To destroy all that he created as he cries

In the Bible it is written that we will
Know the wrath of the pending Apocalypse
But for now we must all take a deep breath
Because today It’s just a Total Eclipse

The Invisibility Of Poverty

        The world never really sleeps
Life is lived in some type of capacity
We were meant for love and compassion
But that concept is beyond our mentality

Obviously we’ve been separated
There’s good guys and the bad guys
There’s the political left and right
And there’s no rule that applies

Once there was a dominant lower
And middle And upper class
But the middle is disappearing
Bitten by the snakes in the grass

And every day we just pass each other
By as we do what we need to survive
As everything is designed to cater
To the rich so that they can thrive

And every day greed takes more
Control without care of the inequality
And the world turns and the people live
With The Invisibility Of Poverty

Without You

   Well it’s no secret, I was on the
Highway to Hell at a high rate of speed
The world had abused me enough
And I bled all that I could bleed

Just another lost worthless soul
Wondering aimlessly in the wilderness
I was without direction and without
Love and my heart was filled with bitterness

Darkness had convinced me that it was
My only friend and I would never see light
I didn’t have a dream, I was brainwashed
And broken living in a constant night

At an early age life had been ****** out
Of me and I didn’t have any desire
I was sure that my destiny was to walk
Eternally on Brimstone through fire

But God saved me by sending me an
Angel, this much I know is true
I don’t ever want to think about my one
Time fate without him and Without You

Let The Old Man In

      I was born into poverty
Just another worthless soul
Abused physically and mentally
But I began to listen to Rock & Roll

Somewhere along the way, I was able
To grow a tougher skin
With every grain of salt sprinkled into
The wounds, I developed a stronger chin

On my own off and on at age thirteen
And completely at eighteen years of age
I left home and never looked back, and for
The story to continue I had to turn the page

I had a young care free attitude and
Over the years I have kept it in my Heart
Never wanted to accept aging or let my
Youth slip Away and become an old ****

And now even at age Sixty Two I still feel
The Rock & Roll kid deep within
And each day though the struggle gets harder I still refuse to Let The Old Man In

Jesus Saved My Soul

    I’ve never been known for being well dressed
I sometimes can get so depressed
I can let life leave me so stressed
But I know that I am blessed

Literally you know I’ve been to Hell
I’m not sure what it means to be an infidel
Don’t know about a higher clientele
Could never seem to get off the carousel

My hearts been stabbed by the impeller
I feel like I crawled from a cellar
A real low life bottom dweller
My past is sadder than the story of old yeller

But I can say now it’s all behind me
From the chains that use to bind me
I have clearly broken free
Through the darkness the light I can see

The Devil has lost his control
Though I know I sin and love Rock & Roll
And I look like an ugly troll
It’s all good because Jesus saved my soul

Solemn Vow

      Call him the Devil, Satan or Lucifer
The Evil one or the Prince of Darkness
His presence is real and his plan is in
Full operation and clever in starkness

As we live in a world divided
Jesus has my complete piety
As the end grows ever closer
I ask where lies your deity

For the Devil has fallen in love with an
Angel and it’s the last straw and unforgiven
But it takes two and the Angel willingly
Devotes her love knowing it’s forbidden

And now the final line has been drawn
The apocalypse is imminent
There’s nothing that can stop it and there
Was nothing that could have prevented it

The world so easily slipped into lawlessness
And all sins they gracefully allow
The beginning of the end was set in motion
Ironically as  each took their Solemn Vow

I have the coolest picture to this poem
And actually to several other ones as well.
It’s a shame that we can’t post pictures on HP

Another Funeral Parlor Reunion

      To look at us now, you would never
Believe that we are actually a family
But believe it or not we are and you
Can check our not so distant history

Somewhere over time we just drifted
Apart and went our separate ways
So far apart now and past the point of no
Return, always longing for our yesterdays

In the vaults of our memories are the
Good times and the Bad
But at least we were together to celebrate
The happy times and console the sad

Now this family is more like people
That we once knew, to each a stranger
The only time we’re together is by
The calling of the grim reaper arranger

I know what I am about to say might
Seem like I am nothing short of inhuman
But this heart of mine just can’t take
Another Funeral Parlor Reunion

We use to get together because we wanted to
Not because we have to.

Evil Within

      For sixty one years I have been mostly
In control except every now and then
But there’s been times when the world
Has caught glimpses of the Evil within

Everyone has this problem but most
Are not as capable and strong
However some remain in complete control
Their Evil never to harm or do wrong

Daily I see the battle unfold before my
Eyes between Evil and the Good
And it breaks my heart knowing that we
never treat each other the way we should

There’s been a shift in the Matrix and more
And more I see Evil slipping through the cracks
The worlds train is derailing and it’s
Running off of its tracks

I can feel it in the Atmosphere unfolding
Before us, I see the Apocalypse begin
And I myself am losing my control
Over my own powerful Evil Within

Fade Away

      Just like the day surrenders
To the night without a word to say
When there’s nothing left to do
It simply knows it must fade away

Everything that ever mattered
Means nothing at all today
Just like when it’s time to die
We just let it fade away

There’s nothing left in the heart
No more tears to cry, no reason to stay
When there’s nothing but memories
And even those begin to fade away

Like the four seasons Spring, Summer
Fall, Winter, each have a role to play
Most generally they know when
It’s their time to fade away

Like the darkness of the hair on my
Head slowly gives into the grey
Everything in life must become extinct
And naturally fade away

Now quietly at 62 I know what I need to do
Like the wood on the dock of the bay
Withered by nature and time I will take
My place in society and just fade away

In The Color Of Night

       Life that was once of family and
Love filled with times of togetherness
Long gone and forgotten lost in the
Shadows of darkness and loneliness

Family picnics and reunions and
Birthday parties are now just memories
Euchre tournaments and Christmas
Parties are in vaults of past centuries

No one ever calls but may send a random
Or rare text Separated by generations gap
Lost are the ones that were the glue
The Elders left behind didn’t adapt

Technically still bonded by blood
But it’s the only way we’re connected
Now we’re just people we once knew
And more like strangers rejected

The only time we’re together is when
One of us dies and walks into the light
When everyone cries around a casket
All dressed In The Color Of Night

Life & Existence

     Just get all you can get
Work is everything, greed and money
Stay focused, dismiss the wife and kids
You’ve got your biscuits and honey

Big house and fancy car
It takes up the time you had to spare
But as long as you keep up with the
Joneses,you never seem to care

Sure you still take vacations with the
Family but to them you’re still a stranger
Because even when you’re there you’re not
Your stress is high and you’re in danger

You asked me how I can live my life
Without the same wants and desires
I tell you that life is easier and more
Enjoyable when there’s less that it requires

So like a river that flows,  I always
Take the path of least resistance
And I just thank the Lord above
For my Life & Existence

The Warning —A Rock Trio From Mexico.
Three Sisters who learned English from listening to American Classic Rock.
They are very talented and they are very pretty and I love them!!!
They have Three CD’S and a fourth one is being released in June. I used the titles of all four and my favorite song from their second release. I use them in order, this is my way to share my new music passion and love for them. Also included is a Spanish translation of my poem that was done by another fan Please enjoy!!!!
Twenty First Century Blood
Queen Of The ****** Scene
Song from this CD is (Dust To Dust)
Error
Keep Me Fed


          Keep Me Fed

       Hear the warning, hear the warning
It’s so refreshing unlike the recent crud
I was sold from the very beginning
With their Twenty First Century Blood

My life has been reborn and you can
Love or Hate but there’s no in between
As for me I surrender, loving Dust to Dust
From Queen Of The ****** Scene

I am blessed even more and Its been
So long since I’ve received such pleasure
My stereo echoes with music from
The treasure of their latest Error

And it thrills me so very much it’s like
Making love for the first time
It’s hard to explain to the ones who have
No clue, hear their poetry sublime

With another one coming in June
On the cover they’re dressed in red
And I’m so hungry for more, oh
The Warning Keep Me Fed

Mantenme alimentado

     Escucha la advertencia.

Es tan refrescante a diferencia de la basura reciente.
Me vendieron desde el principio.
Con su sangre del siglo XXI

Mi vida ha renacido y tu puedes
Amor u odio pero no hay término medio
En cuanto a mí me entrego, amando a Dust to Dust
De la reina de la escena del asesinato

Estoy aún más bendecido y ha sido
Hace mucho que no recibí tal placer
Mi estéreo resuena con música de
El tesoro de su último Error

Y me emociona tanto que es como
Haciendo el amor por primera vez
Es difícil de explicar a los que tienen
Ni idea, escucha su poesía sublime.

Con otro llegando en junio
En la portada van vestidos de rojo.
Y tengo tanta hambre de más, oh
La advertencia mantenme alimentado

The Spore

     It lies in waiting in the darkness
Like a spider patiently waiting to strike
It attacks with the swiftness and the
Ruthlessness of a shrike

There’s no rhyme or reason
Just it’s desperation to find a host
Its victims never see it coming for
It’s as stealth as a ghost

It’s deadly as a black widow or the
The most venomous of snakes
The mere thought of it gives me chills
And the uncontrollable shakes

Its evolution has risen to the extreme
Its destruction is very evident
Death is definitely inevitable
Its superiority is overwhelmingly prevalent

Human existence is on the edge of extinction
In my heart and soul I deeply deplore
And caution the world of the Evil invaders
Humans will soon succumb to The Spore

IT’S  GONE

        Well it’s all in the past
You know the way that it was
You know the way we were
It’s gone

Lost is the tingle
Lost is the wanting
Lost is the needing
It’s gone

I can’t find the passion
I can’t find a reason
I can’t find my way
It’s gone

Lost in the darkness
Lost in the pain
Lost in my mind
It’s gone

I can’t find the feeling
I can’t even fake it
I can’t explain it
It’s gone

    I Can’t Stop The Rain

       Now that it’s Gone
My Heart and soul are empty
I have become completely numb
I can’t stop the rain

How can I continue on
How can I pick up the pieces
How can I put myself together again
I can’t stop the rain

Now I wonder who I am
Now I wonder if I’ll ever love again
Now I wonder about tomorrow
I can’t stop the rain

How can I soften my heart
How can I let my guard down
How can I allow myself to be vulnerable
I can’t stop the rain

Now I wonder if I can find strength
Now I wonder if I even want to try
Now I wonder about everything
I Can’t Stop The Rain

   Starting Over Again

           Now that it’s gone
I can’t stop the rain
Now time has passed and I am
Starting over again

Every time I see a pretty face
Every time I see a smile
Every time I see beautiful eyes
Starting over again

I can’t bring myself to look
I can’t bring myself to conversation
I can’t bring myself to even speak
Starting over again

Every time I think I can
Every time I see her face
Every time I tell myself I can’t
Starting over again

I can’t even imagine it
I can’t begin to believe it
I can’t bare to breathe
Starting over again

The Damage Done

      Now that it’s gone
I can’t stop the rain
Starting over again
The damage done

I am so badly broken
I am so deeply defeated
I am so lost in self pity
The damage done

Take away my eyes
Take away my heart
Take away my mind
The damage done

I am so lost without her
I am so deep in depression
I am so very hopeless
The damage done

Take away the Sun
Take away my dreams
Take away my desires
The Damage Done

Blinded

     I’m just taking a walk through life
Can’t bring myself to believe the nothing
The theory that nothing thought of everything no it had to be something

Don’t let yourself be blinded
Blinded by Science, blinded by evil eyes
Don’t let yourself be blinded
Blinded by Media, blinded by lies

Take the time to stop and smell the roses
Enjoy every Creation that you see
Take the time to realize that it didn’t
Come from nothing and it was meant to be

Don’t let yourself be blinded
Blinded by ignorance, blinded by fools
Don’t let yourself be blinded
Blinded by leaders, blinded by schools

Don’t you fall into their trap
They are so corrupt and Evil minded
Open your heart and eyes to see the
Truth and don’t let yourself be Blinded
