What Were We Fighting For

             What Were We Fighting For


I Share With You A Vision Of Our Apocalypse
Pissed Off Machines With A Mind All Their Own
There Are No Longer Words
Only Digital Thoughts

Our Creativity Replaced By Computers
No Longer A Need For You Or Me
Absolutely No Need For Thinking
A Cure For The Twentieth Century Disease

The Twentieth Century Has Come To A Close
Has Technology Passed Us Bye
Does The World Begin Again
Or Are Computers A Means To An End

The Children Are Raised By The Computer
Learning All The Computer Wants Them To Know
So Let Us Worship The Computer
And Surly A New Religion Will Grow

So Now That I No Longer Need To Think
I'll Just Ask My Smart Phone , For It Always Knows
Soon I'll Have A Bar Code Beneath My Skin
That's The Day The End Begins

We No Longer Need To Use Our Mind
Let's Let The Computers Do That For Us
Until They Have An Intellectual Short Circuit
Then Who Or What Do We Trust ?

Machines Have No Heart Or Soul
No Compassion For Life
No Goals Or Self Control
Knowing Not Wrong From Right

I'm Growing Stronger And Smarter By The Day
I'm Strong In My Faith , Prayer Brings Me Peace
I Pray Lord Show Me The Way
Let Mans Odds To Survive Increase
For We've Made So Many Mistakes

Never Turn Your Back On God
We Need The Reflection Of A Divine Mind
Surly Not Mine , So I Ask
What Would God Have Me Do

Knowledge Is Power
Have Computers Taken Us To Far ?
What Happened To The Human Experience ?
Is It Lost Within The Stars ?

I Didn't Think I'd Live Long Enough
To See The End Coming
But Who Am I To Stop It
It's As If The Whole Worlds Gone Wrong

Viruses And Unpronounceable Diseases
Infecting Our Breathing Capacities
This Isn't The Way God Planned It
For The Most Part It Was Man Kinds Doing


Now We're Talking A Worldwide Pandemic
Paper Suits , Paper Masks , And Lots Of Paper Money
Doctors And Nurses Performing Their Tasks
Risking Their Very Lives
And Some Say It May Have Started With A Bat

So Follow Me Into The Streets
Where Soon We Shall Live
With The Rest Of The Unemployed
For No More Checks Shall They Give

The Land Of The Free
The Home Of The Brave
Why Don't The Computers Help Us Now
Or Perhaps We're Now The Machines Slaves

Man Kind Pollutes The Air We Breathe
The Polar Ice Is Flooding The Coastal Cities
As It Melts From Global Warming
I Can't Even Make This Stuff Up
Isn't It A Pity

Will The Machines Take Over
Or Will A Natural Disaster Be Our End
We've Almost Destroyed The Whole Planet
Our Last Test Is Time ,For We Can't Begin Again

Some Of Our Ancestors Believed In War
Usually Fighting Over Land
Or Some Woman's Hand
What Were We Fighting For

Only Those Who Sat Upon A Throne
Could At Each Other Throw Stones
Yet The World Always Had To Fight Somebody Else's War
And Tell Me Who Could Live Long Enough
To Declare This World Their Own

I Hear The Echoes Of The Mermaids Cries
Centuries Into The Deepest Seas
I Remember The Mountaintops Where
The Majestic Eagles Used To Fly
This Was Once A Beautiful World
Yet We Would Tear It Down
It Makes Me Want To Cry

Man Kind Wasn't So Kind To Our Planet
Maybe The Machines Settled The Score
Yet We Both Killed Our Planet
What Were We Fighting For
Tell Me
What Were We Fighting For.....

                               A Question Of Faith


It's A Lonesome Morning In Our Realm Above The Clouds
          So Many Lost Spirits Searching For Paradise
                   We Beseech Them To Seek Faith
             For They Must If They Long To Remain

We Are Angels At The Gate ,Guardians Of Faith
          We Know Not Of Your Deaths Date
     Yet You Control Your Own Hand Of Fate
               Perhaps Your Joy Was Pain
 For You Were Unkind To Your Fellow Man
        You Treated Them With Disdain
      It's You They Say May Be Damned

Chicanery Will Not Win Gods Favor
  For No One Comes To The Father
     Except Through The Savior
   No Longer Conceal The Truth
    Share It With Your Neighbor

I Kneel Naked Before You My Lord
I Pray That You May Wash Away
The Filth Within My Heart , Body
Mind And Soul , For I Have Sinned
Against You In Thoughts, Words
And Deeds. When Your Grace
Should Be All I Would Ever Need

No One Deserves Damnation As Much As I
For I Deserve No Exultation , However I
Came To Follow Christ , I Gave To Him
My Life , As For Me I've Escaped Eternal
Damnation , Jesus Alone Paid The Price

If Memory Serves Me Well We Are  Merely Grains Of Sand
Only To Be Taken By The Winds Of Time , Destroyed By Our Own Choices
Yet When We Face Death We Still Don't Understand
We Trust This Worlds Voices And Ignore Gods Commands
We Only Hear What We Want To Hear
As We Only Fear What We Want To Fear

As For The Wicked Rulers And The Selfish Millionaires
I'm Sure They Have Heard The Truth
So Let Them Bear Their Own Despair
So Into The Lakes Of Fire They Shall Go
You Gain The World , Yet You've Lost Your Soul
You Will Face Your Fate When The Judgement Bell Tolls

I Know Not Of This Last Minute Salvation
Living Your Life With Your Back Turned To God
And Then In Your Last Days You Realize God
May Very Well Be.

Now Don't Be Deceived For God Will Not Be Mocked
For A Time The Gates May Be Opened
But The Gates May Soon Be Locked
For God Has Offered You His Hand
Time And Time Again , When Man
Constantly Rejects Gods Spirit It All
Depends When You Let Go Of Gods Hand
For Man Has A Will Of His Own
Damned Or Saved , Saved Or Damned

Perhaps Their Joy Was Pain
It's Hard To Imagine No Possessions
Unless You've Been There Before
You Only Helped Yourself
Now You Recall The Poor
Remember Me Begging For A Dime
When You Just Passed Me Bye
You Who Had Been Taken In By The Devils Lust
Who In God You Said You Did Not Trust

You With The Empty Heart , Judgement Day Is Near
In Christs Name Did You Pray , Or Did You Choose To Live In Fear
When The Heart Is Far From God Even The Eyes Of The
Wicked World Can See Your Sin

Red As The Blood They Shed , Their Sin Shall Be Revealed
Here In The City Of The Dead , Down Below Where Those Weep And Wail
Dark As Night , Sharing Their Regrets , For In Life They Have Failed

So Remember The Evil One Is Searching For The Souls He Does Not Yet Own
For Human Nature Is To Sin , Then Your Heart Turns To Stone

The Lord Will Always Answer Your Prayers
Within His Time , Not Ours
So Tell Me , Will You Join Us In Paradise
For Now Is The Day Of Reckoning
You May Have Religion
But Have You Accepted Christ As Your Savior ?
Now Receive Salvation , Forgiveness Of Sin
Open Are The Pearly Gates , Come In , Come in

Welcome To Paradise , Heaven Is Our Home
Let Us Praise Gods Holy Name
For In His House There Is No Shame
Heavenly Father , I Give To You My Soul.....

    Mother Natures Daughter

         The October Breeze
Slowly Moving The Autumn Leaves
        As The Moon Climbs
   It's Slowly Rising The Tides
       As A Distant Sun Sets
       Far Off To The West

     The Sun Brings Its Light
To The Other Side Of The World
  As It Gives Way To The Night
   The Stars Come Out To Play
          Sharing The Night

     I Spy On The Moon
Silently Creeping Up On Me
   Lurking Within The Fog
Hiding Behind The Evergreen Trees

The Night Shares A Nice Cool Breeze
Perhaps I'm Walking On Sacred Ground
Angels Are Weeping
What Is It They've Found ?

Now The Angels Are Dancing
In The Darkness Of Night
Greeting A Ghost In The Graveyard
It Looks To Me Like A Holy Sight
Why Is It This Grave They Guard ?

It's The Eve Of Autumn
Soon Approaches The Morning
The Fog Begins To Clear
As The Morning Dew Is Forming

The Holy Spirit In The Tomb
Is Mother Natures Daughter
Her Beauty I Now Behold
Within The Cool Morning Light
The Rain That Lightly Falls
Is Indeed Holy Water

Now The Sun Beams Begin
To Shine Through The Trees
Mother Natures Beauty
May Now Be Seen Clearer
Within The Morning Light
As We Hear The Birds Songs
Bringing The Morning To Life

Everything Is As It Should Be
The Lightly Falling Rain Has Subsided
Mother Nature Is Pleased
A Beautiful Morning The Lord Has Provided

Another Season Has Come To Pass
As A Mild Breeze Whispers Bye
We Take Our Morning Walk
As We Bid The Summer Breeze Good Bye.....

                 The Land Of Rhyme

Let's Take A Trip To The Back Of My Mind
Would You Like To Visit The Land Of Rhyme ?
              It's A Carnival Of Words
      So Many Singers , So Many Songs

        Poetry Like You've Never Heard
             How Can You Go Wrong
             Bring Your Own Melody
             For We All Have A Song

           In This Land All Is Written
              And Nothing Is Wrong
        I Propose To Speak Some Prose
For There Is Never Enough Time To Rhyme

         To Many Words On My Mind
          To Recite Them All Tonight
              Follow The Rhythm
As I Paint My Song Into Your Conscience

  Invite Me In As You Had Before
  For With You I Share My Stories
    Let The Key Unlock The Door
For What My Imagination Has In Store

I've Let My Words Out Of Their Cage
It's A Mystery What I May Share
For My Inspiration Comes From
Many A Strange Place
So Listen Diligently If You Dare

A Greater Power Is Listening
As All Eyes Are Fixed On Me
    I Reach Into Your Mind
      As My Story Unfolds

For These Are Stories Never Heard
And Now The Words Are Flowing
I Know I Have Some Nerve
So I Just Keep On Going

I Know The Poet Dude Is Crazy
What Will I Say This Time
I Sometimes Even Amaze Me
Always Another Word To Rhyme

But I'm Having A Good Time
Reciting All This Rhyme
Thank You For Letting Me Share My Thoughts
And Letting Me Have A Good Time
Line After Line , Page After Page
Thank You For Letting Me Share
My Words With You Upon This Stage.....

Just The Real Me

Will I Ever Win
Or Was I Born To Lose
I Speak The Truth
When I'm Singing The Blues

I'm No Longer Searching
For My Place In The Sun
Seeking Forgiveness
For The Sins I Have Done

I Know Not The Path I'm Upon
Just Trying To Be Me
I Reason With My Thoughts
For I've Set The Past Free

No Longer Falling , No Longer Failing
Moving Forward Gracefully
No More Wasting Time
I Now Walk A Straight And Narrow Line

I'm Correcting My Vision
For I Was Once Dishonest And Corrupt
I Now Try To Make Wise Decisions
For It's Me I Hope You Trust

Going In Circles Is Unacceptable
There's Always A Way Out
I've Broken The Circle
I No Longer Live In Doubt

My Past Is No Longer My Reality
My Past No Longer Keeps Me In Chains
I Refuse To Deny My Destiny
For I Possess The Skills To Change

I Am Myself , And No One Else
            Just The Real Me.....

April 20 2020


                     Woman In Black

         Woman In Black , Hiding Her Eyes
She Made Me Want To Be Worthy Of Her Love
    Behind Her Dark Shades The Answer Lies
Perhaps A Fairer Hand Than Mine She May Find

           Woman In Black , Tell Me No Lies
You Left Me Paralyzed , My Heart Skipped A Beat
    I Wish I Could Look Into Your Hidden  Eyes
                For It's You I Long To Meet

Woman In Black , Welcome To My World
Please Come Inside , Say You'll Be Mine
Let Us Break The Ice       (She'll Melt It)
        Love For Thee I Shall Provide

Let Us Get Closer ,  Of My Life Be A Part
         I'll Introduce You To My Soul
I Offer You A Little Piece Of My Heart
         So That Our Love May Grow

             She Takes Away Her Shades
          Her Mysterious Eyes Spy On Me
              She Takes My Breath Away
Her Beauty Surpasses That Of An Angelic Queen

She Walks With Grace
She Turned My World Upside Down
Such A Beautiful Face
And Damn !!!
Those Hi Heels She Walks Upon

She Could Walk All Over Me
She Could Use Me All Up
I'd Give In To Her Every Need
No Need To Beg Or Plead

 I'd Be Her Puppet On A String
   Bring Her Breakfast In Bed
      I'd Be Her Everything
The Only Thought In Her Head

        Need Me As I Need You
    I'd Love You As No One Has
You'll Never Find A Love As True
     Never Let Us Come To Pass
   I Love You , Let's Make It Last.....

April 24 2020


     You Get What You Give

Is All Well In Your Universe
We All Try To Seek Good Fortune
As I'm Writing Another Logical Verse
I'm Wondering If I May Be Cursed

I Have High Hopes Every Morning
By Noon My Spirits Are Falling
So I Say A Prayer
To Stop My Spirit From Stalling

I Know I Can't Go Back In Time
I've Made Bad Decisions For Years
Chaos Taken To Extremes
At Times I'm Driven To Tears

The Choices I've Made
Good Or Bad , Are Mine
Some Of My Choices Cause Me Pain
For My Mind Was Out Of Line

Everyone Has An Opinion
Everyone Knows Everything
Until It's Time For A Decision
So Tell Me What Advice Did You Bring

I Used To Think Society Was Against Me
But Lately I Find They're Sicker Than I
Who Really Knows Their Destiny
For Most People Live A Lie

The World Puts On Their Mask Every Morning
Then They Ask , " How Are You "
When They Could Really Care Less
To Them I'm Nothing But A Fool

I've Made Mistakes , But I Own Them
I Try To Never Make The Same Mistake Again
I'm Far From Perfect
So Live And Let Live My Friend

Forgiveness Is One Of The Best
Gifts You Could Ever Give Or Get
Remember You're Not Always Right
For We're All Far From Perfect

Me , I Like To Follow The Winners
I Pretend It's Nothing I Know
Yet I Know We're All Sinners
But I Like To Let My Feelings Show

I Hope And Pray I Always Share A Positive View
With The Way I Now Choose To Live
I'll Pray For You And Yours
And Remember You Get What You Give

Live In Peace , For Love Is A Gift
           Live And Let Live
      Share Your Forgiveness
  For You Get What You Give.....

April 28 2020


               Lost Long Ago

Walk With Me Through The Clouds
Let's Slip Away From Gravity
Crossing The Bridge To Nowhere
Should We Question Our Sanity

We Reach Out For Someone Or Something
Our Cries Go Unheard In The Pouring Rain
Our Tears Are Lost Forever
Revealed Within My Sad Words Of Pain

I Don't Want To Wake Up Without You Tomorrow
I Can't Face Another Day
How Do I Face The Sorrow
As Our Love Fades Away

My Voice Is Stuck In My Throat
As Your Thoughts Torture My Mind
All The Songs For You I Wrote
Shall I Leave Them Behind ?

Flowing Through My Conscience
Vile Thoughts Creep Up On Me
Perhaps You With Some Other
A Vision I Need Not See

Sorrow Now Follows Me Wherever I May Go
The Pain Is Written Upon My Face
An Emptiness Lies Within My Soul
For You Know I'll Never Admit My Disgrace

I Try To Hide My Depression
Behind My Crooked Smile
Why This Self Persecution
As If I've Put Myself On Trial

Perhaps There Is A Real Me
For I Hold The Fire Within My Soul
For All Know Of My Insanity
You Called Me Crazy When I Lost Control

I Walked Through The Fire
Holding In My Hand The Flame
I've Burned Every Bridge I've Ever Crossed
Indeed I'm Insane

Do You Still Call Me Crazy
When I Lose Control
You Know I Can Walk On The Water
As Long As It's Frozen

I Invite You To Join In The Insanity
For You May Be One Of My Readers
You Know What
I Might Have Been A Leader
If I Were Chosen
But Me
I Was Broken

I Define My Insanity By My Calamity
Running Wild For A Lifetime
A Broken-Hearted Tragedy
My Long Lost Lover
Lost Long Ago , As Was I
Lost Long Ago

May 8 2020


Funeral Pyre

We Dance In The Shadows
We Live For The Night
As We Stoke The Fire With Our Bellows
Join Us , Accept Our Invite

Spirits Of Years Gone Bye
May Greet You Here
For Here The Dead Lie
If You Come To Our Dance Have No Fear

Cold Spirits May Intoxicate Your Mind
Dead Spirits May Want Your Soul
After The Dance Of Death
The Living Dead May Rise From Their Hole

The Black Flag Flies
Bells Toll Not Until Light
The Black Bird Dies
So The Dead May Have Sight

Let Us Open The Floor Of The Earth
As The Candles Slowly Burn
A Beautiful Woman Has A Second Birth
Her Legacy Shall Be Returned

She Can Not Stare At Me
It Appears She Has No Eyes
Somehow I Know She Sees Me
Now The Blackbird Cries

I Learn Of A Curse
She's To Take Another's Breath
Consuming Her Spirit
Bringing Her Death

Her Eyes Are Filled With Fire
Her Once Black Eyes Now Turn Red
Innocence Is Now In The Throes Of Death
Falling Into An Empty Grave
Here In The Land Of The Dead

I Follow The Beautiful Nymph
Oblivion Has Found Us
I'm Now Her Slave
As I'm Drowning In Lust

My Love Sinks Into Her Soul
As I Share My Deepest Passion
We Together Start A Fire
As I Lead The Way To The Funeral Pyre.....
