Flying Out To Anaheim

 Flying Out To Anaheim

 

If you ever get serious about love don’t hesitate                                           

Meet me at seven on Huntington Beach for our first date                             

We’ll have drinks at the Bungalow watching the sunset                               

I’ll give you tender surrender without any regret                                                                              

 

Here I Am flying out to Anaheim

I’m headed to the scene of the crime

Oooh, where can I find the perfect rhyme

There you go flying out to Anaheim

 

I have dreams about being a rock and roll superstar

Manic nights of delight playing my electric guitar

Writing songs about a kind of love that transcends life

That some day in some way we’ll become man and wife

 

Here I Am flying out to Anaheim

I’m headed to the scene of the crime

Oooh, where can I find the perfect rhyme

There you go flying out to Anaheim

 

The thrill of the chase merges with the glory of grace

You got a body of pure energy and a perfect face

Inside a heart that burns with a warmth of compassion

No idle hands you understand loves in the action

 

Here I Am flying out to Anaheim

I’m headed to the scene of the crime

Oooh, where can I find the perfect rhyme

There you go flying out to Anaheim

 

We are all playing our part but we get to decide a thing or two

Destiny be damned against the odds against the gods I chose you

Look at heaven above I won’t let the stars determine my fate

We are born to die some are crucified and baby I ain’t got time to wait

 

Running down the Garden Grove bursting free from my chains

There are answers to questions but nothing ever explains

But in your kiss there is a bliss I cannot forget

I’m flying to Anaheim cause you’re the winning bet

 

Here I Am flying out to Anaheim

I’m headed to the scene of the crime

Oooh, where can I find the perfect rhyme

There you go flying out to Anaheim

Cheating In Nevada

 Cheating In Nevada

 

In Nevada with hot desert sands

There's a law everyone understands

It's an unrighteous, ungodly sin

The house always has to win

Now take heed as I mention

The Democratic convention

When the wheel was still in turn

The delegates came to learn

A premature choice had been made

Despite the people's voices being raised

Yelling, screaming, calling shame

Unfair, injustice, we proclaim

See the establishment, lie, cheat and steal

From the bottom of the deck they deal

And to make all protest cease

They called out the police

What happened to our democracy?

Are we headed towards Nazi Germany?

Now people we got ourselves a mission

A political exhibition

A righteous revolution

A permanent solution

In November express your concern

Vote so all will feel the Bern

Assata

Who defined good hair?

Or defines the styles

That we wear

 

And Assata

I believe that revolution

Is the solution

But sister I say

Not your way

No not with violence and hate

Hear my voice and contemplate

 

Assata

One day they’ll read this poem at my trial

And you’ll laugh like heaven and smile

For I have found the way to victory

Loving my enemy

 

Assata

When the time comes

And the generals are beating their war drums

Believe it to be true

I Love you

And keep control

Cause even Richard Nixon has God’s soul

A youth to speak the truth

And a song sung by Young

Cruel Shoes

 Cruel Shoes

 

I’ve been kicked so many times

I know your shoes by first name

In a city full of crimes

All they say is what a shame

I have been kicked and stomped on

So much I have forgotten

What life really feels like

Without that high heel spike

 

Cruel shoes

Blue suede shoes

Black and blue

Crushed by you

Cruel shoes

 

I’ve got to get off the ground

To escape that marching pound

All I need is one big break

One try is all you can take

I hope I do not loose

I already have them blues

I’ve been kicked so many times

I know your shoes by first name

In a city full of crimes

All they say is what a shame

 

Cruel shoes

Blue suede shoes

Black and blue

Crushed by you

Cruel shoes

 

Some people call me a looser

But that crowd is growing fewer

With each passing day I do pray

That I can carry on my way

With a promise that I’ll beat

The agony of the feet

 

Cruel shoes

Blue suede shoes

Black and blue

Crushed by you

Cruel shoes

A Poet's Peace

A Poet's Peace

 

 

I perceive, therefore I mourn, my spirit torn, a new life reborn

Waves of light, shine bright as shimmering leaves of trees in the breeze

I color outside of the lines and quite often not even in the book

Life is never black and white, I always take more than one look

 

The ink used to create this poem is the blood from my veins

In the asylum robbed of freedom, torment fermented my brains

I was drunk on righteous thoughts, caught in messiah syndrome

Mother Earth cried in anguish, beseeching for personal redemption

My mind rotted by clicks of whispering memories, too evil to mention

 

I was a Navajo a billion years ago and knew the secrets of the universe

But man, violated the plan and creation was subjugated to a curse

The water broke, I awoke, I trembled in utter terror as I heard the Word spoke

In exaltation I cried "I Am here to liberate you" but everybody thought it was a joke

 

Padded walls and straight jackets, psychiatric hospitals little more than rackets

Thorazine shuffle, thoughts they muzzle, a few pieces missing from the puzzle

Committed to the cause, committed by their laws, a danger to society

Meanwhile merchants of death massacre masses efficiently, proficiently

Dare not question or mention the absurd contradiction

Serve the institute, salute the flag, they're always looking for a raw recruit

 

But Love touched me as a gentle rain on a parched land coveting relief

In my helpless state of dire need I could forsake hatred and greed

Four stars on the uniform or a business suit doesn't make you less of a thief

But on my journey, God turned me around and do you know what I found

In abandoning carnal desire and allowing the fire to inspire

In my mind I find I can be kind and even love my very enemy

You see when you release darkness and allow hatred to cease

If you truly believe you too shall achieve A Poet's Peace

Wake Up

 Wake Up

 

No one blames Jesse James for shooting Tonto                    

Genocide pilgrim pride choose a side pronto                        

Once the buffalo thundered on the plain                                

You ask yourself why is there so much pain?                       

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

 

John Chivington hell fire is too good for you

Over in Gaza we got more deja vous

Which holocaust do you plan on counting

The hate is great and the evil mounting

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

 

Hey there Ronnie I know you remember me

I painted you a picture of a bird in a tree

You read volumes of psyche books back in school

The path of healing isn’t in being cruel

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

 

Do unto others as you would have done to you

Jesus’s words after centuries still ring true

Beat all the swords into plowshares for sure

One glad day we won’t study war no more

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying
