Lords Of The Hollow

Lords Of The Hollow

 

Walk the walk talk the talk that’s what they say

I’m a midnight demon hunting my prey

Every footstep fills another letter

And let me tell you brother it’s getting better

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

Flying high in the sky past the stratosphere

It’s live and let die without any fear

I’ve waited a lifetime just to flap my wings

I’m ready roaring soaring seeing what life brings

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

There she is the definition of love

She’s the one everybody’s dreaming of

Keeping cool I start to drool taking aim

In a flash of fire my desire bursts into flame

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

Tomorrow’s something that will never come

We are kings and rock and roll our kingdom

Hot gals fast cars and a good portion of soul

We’re radicals revolting against ground control

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

A Poem for the Dawn

 A Poem for the Dawn

 

I write without hope but still words proceed

That in the future some seeker shall read

Long odds with a strong God often succeed

If you fight for right you’ll rise as there’s need

All great revolutionary vision

Came from the light of ordinary men

A better world I can give my children

Where virtue defeats the wages of sin

I see ancient men with tough withered skin

Wisdom begins when one learns to listen

This poem a humble and simple rhyme

Shall be the standard to measure the time

Listen laughers who cackle with scorn

From towers of torment you shall be torn

This is the warning, calm before the storm

As poets protest, WE SHALL NOT CONFORM

Futility nips the heels of my shoes

I resist the shame to proclaim good news

A time of turning a new age shall dawn

And all evil like darkness fled and gone

Murmurings Of A Mad Man

More To Life

More To Life

 

Soldiers marching in their finest uniform                              

In the east the clouds were coming in storm                          

Where has our innocence went do you know                        

Strange how these winds of change always blow

 

Slipping into the evening sky

Giving life one more try

Love is the only reason why

Somewhere out there

There’s more to life than the lie

 

Women wept so proud of their men of stone

Lovers moaned soon they would be all alone

Mothers cried like they were forever young

How many times has this sad song been sung

 

Slipping into the evening sky

Giving life one more try

Love is the only reason why

Somewhere out there

There’s more to life than the lie

 

There is a monster on the prowl can you hear him growl

He’s a funky folk singer singing about murder so foul

Billionaires bankrupting paupers just because they can

Angry anarchists raging screaming stick it to the man

 

A pair of sweethearts driving into night

A last time to taste heavenly delight

Tomorrow he sails away to endless war

They silently wonder will there be more

 

Slipping into the evening sky

Giving life one more try

Love is the only reason why

Somewhere out there

There’s more to life than the lie

Courage

 Courage

 

Born again at the amen in the color of my brown skin

I fight for what is right I war against sin

Twilight twinkling, I have an inkling of righteousness’s light

It ain’t black and white

Cause colors are God’s dazzling delight

Blood red sky azure

Love is courage giving more

Free in my equality

Until somebody tells me

(Have mercy Jesus!)

Get to the back of the bus

Or your career can just wait

Never mind debate

What do I do when I’m pulled over by the police?

I speak for the meek

My Lord turned the other cheek

All the Way to Cavalry

Every inch drenched in agony

 

I SEE THE REALITY OF THE CROSS

 

And here I ponder a world vain and insane

Courage dictates in the hate I do more than complain

Second sight may not be a perfect view

But I try to do what God would have me to do

Who will ascend to heaven?

Only a precious few

So, Lord grant me the courage to speak

To preach to teach to reach

Those perishing in the wasteland of woe

Who do not know

Jesus as Christ

And the courage of His perfect sacrifice

May I surrender all

And answer the call

Jordan’s Shore

Jordan’s Shore

 

Well you know I never had life easy

All the bullies would come tease me

With fast fists I’d hit the ground hard

Got paranoid keeping up my guard

 

I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more

In the distance I hear the river roar

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

 

At twenty I flew into the cuckoo’s nest

I thought life was over I needed rest

I wondered what’s the meaning of this

I knew love was something not to miss

 

I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more

In the distance I hear the river roar

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

 

Well a hero is one who just keeps on

A friend is someone to lean upon

Where were my brothers when the rain fell

Where was my lover when life was hell

 

I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more

In the distance I hear the river roar

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

 

I was dreaming of West Virginia green

It’s by far the nicest place I’ve been

There something of suffering I must say

You get strong walking the lonesome way

 

When I die I don’t want to be grieved

I want to leave better than I received

Everybody got themselves their own song

It’s so sad when they had the lyrics wrong

 

I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more

In the distance I hear the river roar

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore

Mulatto Queen

Mulatto Queen

 

Loveliest thing you've ever seen

Sweet, sweet mulatto queen

A woman caught in between

In a harsh solitary scene

For she is far from white

A disgrace in proper society's sight

Nor is she kin

To those of darker skin

For though she is a slave as well

She is favored, all can tell

 

Master with his lustful ways

Lavishes her with endless praise

Her teary blue eyes

Always tell

The living hell

When she is made to compromise

 

Life is a complicated

Never loved, constantly hated

Unsure where to dwell

Always made to sell

If she refuses to stay in line

Master will retaliate

If she makes things fine

It is something she does hate

A mistress to a married man

Without a voice

Without a choice

She does the best she can

Only happy when she's in a dream

Mulatto queen

Waitress

 Waitress

 

Kriti is pretty on the marble floor

Takeout is tough with an open door

In black funeral black tells me a tale

Jonah ran and found the belly of the whale

 

She’s the waitress God bless her soul

She’s the waitress Loves rock and roll

Smile all the while her back aches

She’s the waitress got what it takes

 

Poetry is her dream while on her lunch hour

The menu is new feeling blue power

Excuse me honey does that come with fries

Why don’t you love me I’ll hear some poisoned lies

 

She’s the waitress God bless her soul

She’s the waitress Loves rock and roll

Smile all the while her back aches

She’s the waitress got what it takes

 

Two burgers extra mayo diet coke

Truth of the youth can you please guess at the joke

 

Montclair House Diner on Holy Avenue

From my booth in the back with a view

Dreams sacrificed on the altar of paradise

Six-gun shooters ain’t no Whooters vice

 

She’s the waitress God bless her soul

She’s the waitress Loves rock and roll

Smile all the while her back aches

She’s the waitress got what it takes

 

And Kriti will run to the edge of time

Lost with Frost searching for today’s rhyme

A balancing act she juggles the meals

In the shadow of the cross Satan makes no deals

 

She’s the waitress God bless her soul

She’s the waitress Loves rock and roll

Smile all the while her back aches

She’s the waitress got what it takes
