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 won’t 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

The 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

A Poet's Pain

 A Poet's Pain

 

When I received my high school directory I listed myself as a poet

At the time I considered my selection better than unemployed or mentally ill

I always hurt it just took a long time to realize my inner agony was abnormal

That the abuse, teasing, mockery, bullying wasn't universal

Now I seek to liberate the world from every single force of oppression

I have learned reality and have digested the brutal lesson

So I write poetry hoping to inspire

That somehow in a spiritual way to ignite a wholesome fire

That among the world there should be an ambiguous equality

That the culture of 'third world' nations is perhaps more valid than our own

From selfish rebels to world exploiters so this nation has grown

I take no pride in Native American genocide

Go to the source any force of evil must be denied

And in the process rip to shreds the smug arrogant pride

That self aggrandizing declaration that this nation can military intervene

Wherever, whenever and against any enemy its foggy eyes have seen

It is not okay to spend trillions to kill in aggressive war

While billions suffer from hunger and people are poverty stricken poor

I have meandered of off the straight and narrow far from my rhymes

I focus on meaning, obvious as a June moon bellowing with sacred chimes

There is a righteousness and war is one of man's foulest crimes

Yet in easy contentment society is placated into a deceitful lull

It's not my kids going to die; besides such things are out of my control

I believe in the masses, I believe in the power of Love, I believe in the example

I have fought the system claw and fang though I am presently obscure

When motivated millions make many moves the impact is sure

I throw my withered scarecrow frame across the gears of the machine

For the demagogues are blaspheming in heated rhetoric of hatred most obscene

With blood and oil they grease the slashing juggernaut

Killing you dirty or killing you clean do you know what I mean?

And in the midst of the red, red rain

A cry asking why so many innocents must perish and die

I observe the cruelty in society how lives are flawed, empty and vain

From deep within wickeder than the worst sin is a poet's pain

For I have no power to make a change but rather to simply explain

So I write and fight in words that shimmer and glimmer in delight

For with hope I think about the slim chance that I just might

Inspire an entire generation to be conscious of the world's ways

That the government is not our masters and only our ideals should we praise

All in all leading the call so that we may arrive collectively at better days

While that dark choice seeks to silence my voice quoting 'you are insane'

A poet's pain

Changing With The Wind

 Changing With The Wind

 

Momma was a free spirt always on her own                         

Poppa came and went like a lonely rolling stone                  

Free love was the thing but it came with a high price           

Sadly there’s only room for two in paradise                          

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

 

As a rule children are cruel and such is the truth

There’s a blessed righteousness only found in youth

She turned the other cheek because she couldn’t fight

She had dreams that one day she’d grow wings for flight

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

 

At sixteen she split the scene heading west by thumb

She had no religion but sung we shall overcome

With options few she drew close to a man with a lie

Hell has many forms but in the storm she was dry

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

 

One day she looked in the mirror and said What am I doing in this place?

One day the sky became clearer she asked Why did my mother call me Grace?

You can only sing the blues if you pay your dues it’s not something you choose

There are many paths in life all have strife but that won’t make the evening news

 

Grace felt the invisible chains and simply turned the key

Headed to a small town calling herself Madam Marie

She was telling fortunes consoling the broken hearted

At that moment the glory of the story started

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

I’ll Start Tomorrow

 I’ll Start Tomorrow

 

Lavender is the color of surrender go pay your dues

Red is dead he said so it’s the blues that I choose

Sleeping late ain’t the way to make dreams come true

Love and hate spotlight at midnight do you have a clue

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

The wind is blowing we’re going to the twilight zone

Nothing is the greatest something that I’ve ever known

There is a lead zeppelin crashing into the endless sea

Atlantis home of the divine was fine until anarchy

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

Sean sighs he’s got two more years of college to go

What the future brings he sings I just don’t know

The moment is now we have no promise of more

Life is for living quit trying to count the score

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

You’ll never reach your destination with procrastination

A little hesitation some doubt about then no salvation

The world spins round and round today is your chance

Nothing in is the greatest sin life is a lady to romance

 

Sean is slowly counting the pennies one by one

Is this living? Is God forgiving? I ain’t having fun

None can determine exactly where we start

But the day belongs to those strong enough to follow their heart

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

Hey Dolly

 Hey Dolly

 

You were a farmer’s daughter with a heart of gold

You were pure fantasy and fantasy doesn’t grow old

Dolly Parton it was a name that everyone knew

Dolly Parton you know sometimes dreams come true

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

 

Working nine to five but infused which such style

You made the music come alive you made me smile

Beauty and grace with some genuine humility

God has called you home you’re finally free

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

 

Jolene ain’t coming between you and your angel

From cradle to the grave love was the only goal

When you sang you’d bring out the joy in your soul

But life is a war and battles they take their toll

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

 

Song birds the sing and song birds they fly

And song birds laugh and song birds cry

Music is the language we all understand

You were the star the queen of the band

 

You were a farmer’s daughter with a heart of gold

You were pure fantasy and fantasy doesn’t grow old

Dolly Parton it was a name that everyone knew

Dolly Parton you know sometimes dreams come true

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

A Final Prayer at my Lynching

A Final Prayer at my Lynching

 

My only crime the color of my skin

Look inside and see your sin

The gallows rope cuts my throat

Coarse fibers bite

I have strength scarce to fight

But please make note

God takes no pleasure in your wicked deeds

And evil never succeeds

One day your cities shall burn

One day the red man will return

And then you’ll learn

The wages of sin is death

The noose tightens cutting off all air

 I am victorious I have not one more care

Pay heed to the words of my last breath

For though my life is through

My words ring true

And as I sway in the air

Allmighty God hears my prayer

God is a God of mercy yes it is true

But God is a God of justice too

Hear the words of my final prayer

And beware
