Blondie

Blondie

 

Sunday Sally died her hair to red and yellow                        

She said to the bass player you’re a nice fellow                    

Why don’t we go on a rock and roll tour?                             

Why don’t we take it all and take some more?                     

 

She was a blondie front row

High on uppers always on the go

She was a blondie front row

What more is there to know?

 

Once she was an acrobat flying with no net

Living all the way today forgetting to regret

The circus was fine except for the clown

He stole all the money and rode out of town

 

She was a blondie front row

High on uppers always on the go

She was a blondie front row

What more is there to know?

 

Camera flash grab the cash before you perform

Playing Hyde Park in the dark during a thunderstorm

Sunday Sally sung out her heart for pay

The drummer laughed out loud he had nothing to say

 

She was a blondie front row

High on uppers always on the go

She was a blondie front row

What more is there to know?

 

The ink on the contract was scarcely dry

Words are words and money’s a lie

The machine I think was pink

Floyd was annoyed and went to the shrink

 

And Sunday Sally struggles writing down a song

The words don’t rhyme all the time and the rhythm’s all wrong

Her heart’s set on the chart maybe number one

Suddenly she shrieks “Wasn’t this supposed to be fun?”

 

She was a blondie front row

High on uppers always on the go

She was a blondie front row

What more is there to know?

Reasons To Be Thankful Part 61

 Reasons To Be Thankful Part 61 

 

Thank you, Jesus!

It’s done

One more trip around the sun!

Seems like life has just begun

But here we go

Reasons to be thankful, part sixty-one

 

Well, I reckon it appears

I’m up there in the years

I am told

Some would call me old

Perhaps I’m old then

But then again still too young for heaven

My gentle God

I would like to get my three score and ten

And if I could implore

A few more

 

Thanx for the sunshine, for your hand divine, for family church and blood, for a path through the mud, for the help in doubt, in hard times a way out, for gentle sleep, for the promises only you could keep, for the roof over my head, for kind words said, for every breath of air, for you answering prayer, for the strength in the fight, for the glory of the light, for saving my soul, for reaching my goal, for a sound mind, for people being kind, for the food to devour, for each and every hour, for the rain divine, for the sunshine, for making each day a new start, for the love you put in my heart, for every tick of the clock, for the steadfastness of the Rock, for the blood shed on the cross, for the gospel seeds I toss, for my ministry, for the truth hidden in history, for this very day, for hearing the words I pray, for your holy spirit, for the evil that I don’t have to fear it, for the unnumerable blessings so many unknown, that I have grown, that with utmost certainty that this list would go on and on into eternity…

 

One more thing I ask of you

May I please see sixty-two

CAN I GET A WITNESS info

Thoughts On Adam

Thoughts On Adam

 

We all live under an eternal blue sky

Entering in birth 

We wander this Earth

Giving this thing called life a try

Too many questions to mention

If we are a fortunate one

We learn a thing before our short time is done

The joy in living

The righteousness in forgiving

The essence of the dream

That Love alone is supreme

 

There is a season for everything under the sun

A time to be born

A time a time to exist

A time to mourn

A time to persist

A time to die

A time to cry

A time to repent

A time to pray

And in one glorious moment

A new day

 

You are a seed planted in fertile soil

Watered with the good deeds of your toil

I firmly believe

As you give so shall you receive

May the Good Lord have mercy

None can resist His call

None at all

And when you see His face

May He smile with grace

 Eye Of The Minotaur

Chaos That Is Life

Chaos That Is Life 

 

A trillion quadrillion quantum infinitely pure

Respect the Googleplex

Bow down genuflect

Dancing quarks superbly agitated

What was will be once more

And thus, the universe created

In the absolute anarchy

Somehow one and one became three

And what we know as reality

Came to be

Physics fails

Randomness prevails

Go fill your sail

With the soft winds of a gale

Search for Atlantis

Search for the land of the free

It matters not as long as you are with me

So, slip on my lips a gentle kiss

Together husband and wife

In this chaos that is life

Falling off the edge of the Earth

To the realm where the gods were given birth

The Last Rhino

The Last Rhino

 

His eye is on the sparrow

Your song says that is so

Your Creator He created me

I was born

                Born to be free

Like the lions who hunt pray

Like the monkeys who jestingly play

Like the ants who march in line

Like zebras running so fine

 

Adam he was your first

I have known your worst

They have slain me in scorn

My body desecrated

My spirit hated

Their prize---my horn

 

What shall they do with it?

That cost my life to forfeit

Hang it as a trophy upon their wall

To tell glamorous stories to recall

How in an utmost cowardly act

They shot a gun from behind my back

 

I am animal yes it is true

Far different we are from you

True we kill, some of us to feast

But you, you are the beast

On Africa’s fields I lay rotting dead

As assassins bullet inside my head

 

His eye is on the sparrow

I know that is so

He enjoys their song in morn

It was the reason they were born

In me too He had His delight

I too was precious in his sight

Once our herds were without number

Now in death, extinct we slumber

I of all creatures would surely know

For you see I am the last rhino

Hear my words let them not be vain

Humanity is captive by those insane

Hear my words as softly I explain

Your job it was to tend the garden

But greed your heart it did harden

Take your prize that you lusted for

A notch on your belt, another score

And I, I am no more

 

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

A horn for a horn

In fire creation it shall die to be born

On that day you shall weep, wail and mourn

Feel the horror of your wicked woe

These words are true they are so

Spoken by the last rhino

Radical Jeff

Radical Jeff

 

Radio is playing some long-forgotten song

John Fogarty splaining how the world went wrong

Radical Jeff is driving he’s humming along

When your heart is true you are strong

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

 

Well there are too many things we could protest

If you believe in love you just want the best

No more endless war and that means genocide

Sorry Uncle Sam we don’t like pilgrim pride

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

 

By God’s grace go punch a Nazi in the face

Let’s fix Earth before we ruin outer space

Peace love and understanding for the human race

And radical Jeff is setting things in their place

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

 

Radical Jeff is throwing the dice he’s playing the game

Radical Jeff I wish he had a better rhyming name

Call him an old hippie call him whatever you will

Jesus said a lot more than Thou Shall Not Kill

 

On the corner tonight the weather was bitter cold

All of the time day by day we’re growing old

We have but one wish in this wicked world of sin

To leave better than we got to our children

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Unending Gaza Genocide

 Unending Gaza Genocide

 

Jet fighters fly

Soaring miles high in the sky

Two-thousand-pound bombs fall

Guided in sin with laser precision

Men, women, children die

The evil invaders don’t care at all

Destroying all the infrastructure

In this misnomer called war

Just like pilgrim pride

This is genocide

 

A world away in the USA

The politicians say all is okay

We got the new Nazis back

Cause we’re paid off by AIPAC

So we will ship off ample ammunition

Ignoring mass devastation

 

Meanwhile in every nation on this blue sphere

The message is loud and clear

TOO MANY HAVE DIED!!

End the genocide

On the streets we protest

On the streets we resist

The evil cabal

Desiring to consume all

 

“I really love war”

Laughs Lucifer

See my servants they’re as sick as I

See my servants they’re living in a lie

After all it is a well-known fact

Jesus was black

And these ‘Jews’ are a fraud

And don’t serve the true God

And as for the land of the free

They are the true enemy

If they just got the courage to do what is right

The genocide would end overnight

But don’t hold your breath

For these lords of mammon live to serve death

 

But still the struggle will never cease

Until the whole world is at peace

Sweet Salvation

 

Sweet Salvation

 

Sin

The devil’s deuces in my hand

I could not understand

Or begin to comprehend

Lost in a manic maze without end

In a starless moonless night

Full of fright and haze

 

Love

A sweet hello

A world I didn’t know

A light beyond the mist

Something I could never dream to exist

I heard the Word

And in my heart stirred

A fainty ray of light

 

I was lost in sin most vile

Life a pointless vain trial

Barely able to fake a smile

I was wondering if there was something more

If somehow I had missed the door

Then I heard the gospel story

Of Jesus, God and glory

How on the cross of Calvary

He paid the price for me

 

Faith commeth by hearing and hearing by the Word of God

God be true and every man a lair

Grace pricked my heart

I began a quest

A new start

I could not rest 

Until I made things right

With the Lord of Light

I learned the gospel lesson

Accepted it without question

And in baptism buried in the blood deep

The good Lord my soul to keep

Thanx to sweet salvation

My destination heaven above

What great love

 

Born again!

Thank God for saving me from sin

Barcelona Blues

Barcelona Blues

 

The sin and pain

Of heroin and cocaine

In empty flats

Where rents aren’t paid

Deals are made

To immigrants poor

Looking for a score

With danger so near

Neighbors live in fear

Bad news

These Barcelona Blues

Addiction

It is a disease

One of many woes

Poverty intimately knows

Searching for solutions

Goes beyond institutions

We must view all

As part of the whole

And answer the call

Of heart and soul

I Loved A Woman

I Loved A Woman

 

I was searching churches for something divine

I heard about love and I wanted mine

There was your face a picture of grace

Singing a hymn it was grim in this place

 

I loved a woman she made me rejoice

I loved a woman and oh what a voice

I loved a woman it seemed the thing to do

I loved a woman and she was you

 

Rocketship ready and it’s all systems go

We’re headed wherever the wind will blow

It’s just the two of us off into infinity

I hear the view on Jupitar’s real pretty

 

I loved a woman she made me rejoice

I loved a woman and oh what a voice

I loved a woman it seemed the thing to do

I loved a woman and she was you

 

In class we were reading First Samuel in Greek

It’s always better to think before you speak

The fluent poet chimes in perfect rhymes

You stole my heart the foulest of crimes

 

I loved a woman she made me rejoice

I loved a woman and oh what a voice

I loved a woman it seemed the thing to do

I loved a woman and she was you

 

The economy is collapsing fascism is on the rise

The myth of superiority is merely complicated lies

I’m the son of the son of an immigrant Pole

Rock and Roll is the expression of your soul

 

If I asked you to marry me what would you say?

We could head for the hills right now today

Under the Grand Canyon are temples of gold

My fantasy is you and me together growing old

 

I loved a woman she made me rejoice

I loved a woman and oh what a voice

I loved a woman it seemed the thing to do

I loved a woman and she was you

 Culligan Water

 

Hi I’m the water guy

You know 

The stuff that falls from the sky

Rain

Sometimes snow

 

Hi I’m the water guy

I am here to ensure

That your water is pure

As sure as you love your daughter

You’d best use Culligan water

You know what I mean

H two O pristine and clean

I came here to sell you a righteous machine

 

Hi I’m the water guy

And I’d be glad to give you a free demonstration

It’s second on God’s list

Right after salvation

So why not give it a try

After all I am the water guy

 

Listen to what I say

Culligan water

Drink away

And have no worry

About filth or bacteria or whatever

Oh, my we are just so clever

It’s easy as can be

Just ask me

I don’t lie

Cause I’m the water guy

Yellow

 Yellow

 

Headed out west until concrete became dirt              

Words of the best poets confessed my same hurt      

The radio played a song I didn’t know                      

When love is laid strong it’s hard to let go                

 

She was a blonde naturally dyed

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

 

I saw the sun set on the deep blue ocean

Judgment is done while we keep true emotion

Seagulls’ song so strong over the crashing waves

To whatever we serve we become slaves

 

She was a blonde naturally dyed

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

 

I sought redemption in a lab making meth

For a formidable fee we dealt double death

I found religion while at a garage sale

If you never try well then you never fail

 

Checking out the checkout girl I was wrong

I offered salvation in the form of song

The witch queen of the dream had a crystal ball

You only want nothing when you got it all

 

She was a blonde naturally dyed

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

 

I recall how I held you in the cold night

There is something deeper beyond wrong and right

Mysteries and wonders why did I let you go?

You were everything you were my yellow

 

She was a blonde naturally died

With a golden cross crucified

Yellow is the color of the stars

Yellow is melody of my guitars

A Poem for an Owner Name Joe

A Poem for an Owner Name Joe

 

Arrogant

It is the word

If I had to choose one adjective to describe Joe

But it is based on speculations from whispering stories

Like how a worker in the warehouse was taking a five

Unbeknownst he came upon the owner smoking

“Do you have a light?” the worker inquired

“Sure,” said Joe handing him a box of matches

Supposedly the two had a nice chat

And at the end of the day the worker found his job terminated

They speak in fear of Joe

I have never seen him

But I’ve seen the stretch limousines

Full of important clients and Joe’s family of cronies

We are told they can’t raise our scant salaries

They’re not making enough profits

To me stretch limousines are for weddings and funerals

To Joe they are overhead

And the blatant racism that Joe fosters

The warehouse physically divides the building into two sections

The well paid desk jobs are all European or Asian

Asian only because Joe is from China

The warehouse and support are all Spanish or Black or Asian

We never intermingle except once a year on the holiday for a potluck meal

Sometimes they will put the excess food from their meetings into our lunch rooms

Like throwing their table scraps to the dogs

I could prove bias simply by a photograph

However judges are also prejudiced by color

They bow to the green of money

And Joe has plenty of that and the workers don’t

I could talk of injustices for a long, long time

But this is Joe’s poem

And like I said I’ve never met him

I can only guess at why that was

Perhaps because I wasn’t worth five minutes of his precious time 

In conclusion I’ll call him something worse than arrogant

A capitalist

Every Generation Got a Fire

Every Generation Got a Fire

 

Sitting singing outside of kings

Skies thundering, I’m wondering

What the weather brings

Playing songs back from sixty two

Sometimes gray sometimes blue

 

Every generation got a fire

See the system is a liar

Stand up brave stand up bold

Proclaim the truth it must be told

 

Vietnam is from a history book

I stop to take another look

Iraq and Afghanistan

Going to kill the yellow man

I can only see through my eyes

Seems to me it’s the same old lies

 

Every generation got a fire

See the system is a liar

Stand up brave stand up bold

Proclaim the truth it must be told

 

I swore I’d never ever be

Cold and heartless in agony

The songs or wrongs they change

But one thing is so strange

A common theme a common dream

Of the power of Love to redeem

 

Every generation got a fire

See the system is a liar

Stand up brave stand up bold

Proclaim the truth it must be told

 

So I sit hoping it won’t rain

So I cry out it’s not in vain

The music, the music hear it explain

World’s gone crazy but the song is sane

Gather round raise your voices in a choir

Every generation got a fire

Every generation got a fire

See the system is a liar

Stand up brave stand up bold

Proclaim the truth it must be told
