UNACCEPTABLE it's the same
old scene it's
the same old tired news just repeating over and over again another trigger just got pulled another light just went out another heart
broken... the
helicopters fly the cameras roll as people run they're running for their lives somewhere money changes hands confusion fills
the air and
sense is lost... the world moves on onto the next insanity just repeating
over and over again another city just got bombed thank god we're
over here killing
ourselves...
TAKE IT DOWN too many
fathers and sons died for nothing at all they died for their traditions,
for the right to take the fall they died for their plantations in a senseless
war so tell me flag waver,who do you wave it for
take it down... the kkk rained terror in the night with that god damn flag of theirs waving on high for god and country, for the evil men do so tell me flag waver,
why does it fly for you... some folk love to hate and take it to their
graves and they can't be moved and they won't be swayed they cling to the past, to the dead and the gone so tell me flag waver, will you ever move on...
NO MAN'S LAND i woke up last night in the
middle of nowhere it felt familiar, someone was calling my name... a single voice i could not recognize i
tried and i tried but i could not find a name or a face i could identify put my feet on the floor and rubbed my eyes and
got out of bed and opened the door same as before, someone was calling
my name... who is it? is someone there? i never felt so all alone am i imagining things? am i still asleep? i stepped outside and i was gone for
as far as i could see, not a soul to be found i turned around, someone
was calling my name... i ducked back inside my house, my world, my life what could anyone want of me? i pondered all the possibilities i had
to find out but found i had my doubt...
WILL I with the last breath i take with my last ounce of strength will
i feel myself go? will i make sense of this crazy life? in the last moment lingering in that
second just before will i feel like moving on?
will i make sense of this crazy life? we've cried
our tears, now let's move on like everyone we've ever known and loved like everyone we've lost... when the
hour always meant for me opens wide the door
will i feel love? will i make sense of this crazy
life?
FUTURE SHOCK bored with the change i find it odd and all so very strange disconnected,
plugged back in starting over and over again...
i can't think straight arriving only to find out
that i'm late the constant more, the eternal twist
everything right at my finger tips... we aim for
the stars and talk about living in jars we'll build on mars no blue sky, no field, no wind no warmth
of the sun upon our skin... i hear beeping noise
the electronic hum of life within the void i hear
it even when it is not there where does it all go from here...
FOR ME TO KNOW i lie awake in the night it
seems everyday of my life it seems i fall further and deeper inside myself and i wonder if anything
will ever help i count the stars til i can count no more curse the dark that takes me for such
a fool who can't find his way home and i wonder when i won't feel so alone is it for me to know? or to figure out as i go... kind in words, a gentle soul a vision of a world unfolds i can reach for but never quite attain and
i wonder why it has to be this way tomorrow's nothing but a passing breeze who remains is yet to be seen what i
lost, what i miss don't matter anymore and i wonder what it is i'm searching
for...
THE EVERYDAYS it's hard to be sure but easy
to fail we win some we lose some a lot can happen if we're perfectly still and just let life go
on... the change will come, it always does when we least expect it a chance encounter, a strangers glance a moments connection... going two steps
forward, and one step back may be all we can do
this constant motion won't get us anywhere we're
trying to get to...
THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT welcome, you're
entering indiana we ask that you turn back your clock 200 years or so we're the land that time forgot the
america you used to know... we tried our best to keep the gays from getting
wed lost the battle but still can win the war
we don't trust liberals, the feds, or the press... we
don't like unions and got'em on the run god fearing folk who don't cotton
to change we're open for business to almost everyone... we're as red a state as one could hope to find a bit lost as to the time of day tea party trailer trash just
trying to get by...
