A Spanish Lullaby
Hey senorita
You’re looking so fine
Hey senorita
I wish you were mine
I love you deep
I tell you no lie
My heart to keep
With a Spanish Lullaby
No hablais espanol
No way to tell you
How you warmed my soul
How my Love is true
I love you deep
I tell you no lie
My heart to keep
With a Spanish Lullaby
O woman come to me
Give this gringo a try
Your voice set me free
With a Spanish Lullaby
Hey senorita
You’re looking so fine
Hey senorita
I wish you were mine
I love you deep
I tell you no lie
My heart to keep
With a Spanish Lullaby
Note: Simple and sweet makes it complete.
Lovin In The Oven
Phone rings you tell me you’re working late
But baby there are things they just can’t wait
I said honey bunny I got dinner steaming hot
Tonight is my night or have you forgot?
Take me make me break me bake me
Oh baby I need some deep lovin’
Oh baby put the bread in the oven
Take me make me break me bake me
I only got on your favorite perfume
The red light shining bright in the bedroom
Fantasy baby my mind is flying to places high
You’ll be kissing a lot more than the sky
Take me make me break me bake me
Oh baby I need some deep lovin’
Oh baby put the bread in the oven
Take me make me break me bake me
In the outer reaches of suburbia we got a bake sale
When true love meets true love one can never fail
She’s needing the dough they’re taking it slow
She opens the door to the oven the fires glow
Once is fine but baby twice is real nice
A happy wife makes a good life great advice
You got everything and baby I’ll pay the price
The bread is cooked baby give me a slice
Take me make me break me bake me
Oh baby I need some deep lovin’
Oh baby put the bread in the oven
Take me make me break me bake me
A Magic
Early to the store the shelves empty
Saluting the flag but I ain’t free
I see in the east the rising son
One day they say victory won
There’s a magic I lean upon
There’s a magic but it’s gone
The sunshine is currently on
There’s a magic but it’s gone
Tutoring Daniel he makes us laugh
I’m missing kissing my better half
There’s a rabbit hidden in my hat
I’m a wizard my voice is flat
There’s a magic I lean upon
There’s a magic but it’s gone
The sunshine is currently o
There’s a magic but it’s gone
I did it once before but no more
Through the years I fear a money whore
In the mirror I covet the score
It don’t matter in endless war
There’s a magic I lean upon
There’s a magic but it’s gone
The sunshine is currently on
There’s a magic but it’s gone
I got a guitar but all the strings are broken
They say Hey mister you must be jokin’
I got to the chorus before they revolted
I wasn’t hurt but I sure was insulted
These lyrics ain’t good they ain’t that bad
Sometimes we’re happy sometimes we’re sad
When did I begin to speak in plural
Use spray paint to make my mural
There’s a magic I lean upon
There’s a magic but it’s gone
The sunshine is currently on
There’s a magic but it’s gone
Grace
You blessed me with the day I’m living
Saying son try to be forgiving
Once I walked the winding road
The burden of sin a heavy load
Grace is free
Grace and mercy
You’ll never desert me
Grace is free
Some songs they will never end my friend
There’s another verse around each bend
The wind whistles words of fire
Each note takes us a little higher
Grace is free
Grace and mercy
You’ll never desert me
Grace is free
Darling it’s almost time to put on your angel wings
The earth of our birth is not what the future brings
Heaven is our home hanging with the King of Kings
In every rhyme there is a crime oh how it stings
Faith is just the courage to walk on
One day all we know will be gone
Save the love that we did share
Tomorrow beckons I’ll meet you there
Grace is free
Grace and mercy
You’ll never desert me
Grace is free
Streets of gold or at least I am told
We’ll be happy never growing old
Time and space lose all meaning
Where every moment is a beginning
Grace is free
Grace and mercy
You’ll never desert me
Grace is free
Trouble In Ecuador
The Spanish walked right through the Inca’s door
Like Genghis Khan and sadly so many more
A place of grace where the cocaine is pure
Tell it sister there’s trouble in Ecuador
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
Priests came with their Catholic ambition
Defining the missionary position
Men dressed in black criminally scary
On your knees bow to the Virgin Mary
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
Paradise would be nice but gold is better
We’ll be kind do you mind an iron fetter
And the gods are sleeping just like before
Tell it brother there’s trouble in Ecuador
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
I want to laugh in the rain and live without pain
I want to be happy and be free from being vain
But there are gringos with capitalistic greed
Those who have plenty take from those in need
Quoting Marx the war of the classes
In our part of the jungle nobody passes
This is our own land of that I am sure
Tell it mister there’s trouble in Ecuador.
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
Love Don’t Come Easy These Days
Broken down in Gallup Nex Mexico
I had driven far with miles yet to go
Sleeping with my cat nestled in the van
My arms empty aching for a good man
Love don’t come easy these days
I’m contrary I got wayward ways
Be a good woman momma says
Love don’t come easy these days
My head buzzing with new technology
Keep it simple was my philosophy
Cars buzzing by without a single care
When is God going to answer my prayer?
Love don’t come easy these days
I’m contrary I got wayward ways
Be a good woman momma says
Love don’t come easy these days
Honky-tonk bars only serving stale beer
Me sipping I’m thinking why am I here
In walks a cowboy with too much cologne
Wondering are things so bad on my own
Love don’t come easy these days
I’m contrary I got wayward ways
Be a good woman momma says
Love don’t come easy these days
Hey there pilgrim there are years before you rest
Hey there pilgrim we’re expecting your best
When you say you love me I want to see you smile
You do love me dearie my it’s been a long while
I’m looking for honesty some of the time
I’m searching for poets who can still rhyme
Over the hill but I got the ride down
Come the morning I’ll be leaving this town
Love don’t come easy these days
I’m contrary I got wayward ways
Be a good woman momma says
Love don’t come easy these days
Kindness
The priest cold and cruel quoted the golden rule
God country and king I was the perfect fool
I saw fatal cracks forming in the foundation
In losing everything I found salvation
Kindness a lover’s kiss
All the friends I miss
Kindness just short of bliss
Kindness give me more of this
Hustling for a buck they wish you good luck
The world ain’t moving forward somehow we’re stuck
You are me and I am you do you get the clue
Love ain’t an idea love is what you do
Kindness a lover’s kiss
All the friends I miss
Kindness just short of bliss
Kindness give me more of this
Hapy Jack spun a spell with every story
A humble man telling tales of God’s glory
Jesus touched the leper do you understand?
Jesus touched the leper with his own hand
Kindness a lover’s kiss
All the friends I miss
Kindness just short of bliss
Kindness give me more of this
Sometimes we scream wishing the dream was done
I’ve walked this trail before and it wasn’t any fun
But as long as you stay there close to my side
I don’t think that we will be denied
Open your eyes and please tell me what you see
Kindness only comes when you move beyond me
You do your part you when you start from the heart
Kindness is no mystery kindness is an art
Kindness a lover’s kiss
All the friends I miss
Kindness just short of bliss
Kindness give me more of this
Quark Soup
I read the Bible at least John three sixteen
Heard something about a king nothing of a queen
I’m a man a science a regular physicist
Religion is a myth because you can’t prove it
Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in
my bowl
Quark Soup nothing
is in control
Darwin is right on
a Saturday night
Quark Soup it’s out
of sight
I was smashing atoms in the morning haze
My sexy assistant was lavishing endless praise
I’m sure you’ll win the Nobel prize one of these days
Bob Dylan won it and his voice is out of phase
Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl
Quark Soup nothing is in control
Darwin is right on a Saturday night
Quark Soup it’s out of sight
She must have spiked neutrinos in our vino
I was quoting equations floating to and fro
The theory of relativity was feeling flat
I was howling mad sounding like Schrodinger’ s cat
Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl
Quark Soup nothing is in control
Darwin is right on a Saturday night
Quark Soup it’s out of sight
They’re having a contest for the best poem twenty bucks
They want rhyming sonnets talking about monster trucks
I got me a bag of stones we’re off to a great start
If our Quark Soup needs meat why I’ll rip out your heart
Don’t say love life’s best secrets are kept silent
I look at the world and ask God if He will repent
I’m free of faith it’s a filthy savage disease
But if I’m free of faith why am I down on my knees
Quark Soup it’s there somewhere in my bowl
Quark Soup nothing is in control
Darwin is right on a Saturday night
Quark Soup it’s out of sight
The Powder
Shadowy faces changing all with charm
Shooting up their living into their arm
Getting high live or die sound the alarm
Walking on the tightwire dismissing harm
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
When you hear that cell door shut that first time
No matter what you did you regret the crime
Ain’t no virgins around hear giving birth
Each day in every way you prove your worth
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
Horrors within gives life to horror without
Make the most of my days soon I’ll be out
Yesterday is a lesson for today
Faith is what you do after you pray
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
Sweet Jesus this cross is burning in my veins
I have hope but it’s running down the drains
The miracles on cable television are a fraud
But my mind has been touched by the Son of God
Think I’ll change my name and write mystery books
Got first hand stories of so many crooks
I’m gonna be big ride some shooting star
But the best gift is knowing who you are
Eight damn years in the hole
Eight dark years searching my soul
Dancing with my sin of heroin
The powder it done done me in
Forgotten Faces
Red sun rose burning over the blue seas
Sugar is sweet and so is the word please
I had to ask baby but never twice
Come in for some more sin was your advice
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Forgotten faces lacking social graces
Forgotten faces dealing all aces
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Yesterday was more than a song gone wrong
So easy to say why can’t you be strong
Love lost such a cost winter’s bitter frost
Summer loving like a coin that was tossed
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Forgotten faces lacking social graces
Forgotten faces dealing all aces
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Making love was easy but words can kill
Wish there was a cure a magical pill
What we had was a hundred one-night stands
Just me and you the two who understands
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Forgotten faces lacking social graces
Forgotten faces dealing all aces
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
I wish we could have went to an island lost in the ocean
I would build you a golden temple give my devotion
We would swing from the trees and laugh in the breeze
Me for you and you for me and both only to please
Freezing wind blowing on these city streets
I’m writing these lyrics counting the beats
Just empty words you were the melody
I’ve got nobody but I still ain’t free
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Forgotten faces lacking social graces
Forgotten faces dealing all aces
Forgotten faces in dreamy places
Southern Lights
When the whole world’s coming
down on you
The sky in your soul’s no
longer blue
Heaven tells love’s story in
the night
All right you’re all right
Southern lights
We sit and watch the southern
lights
Gazing up we’re lost in delight
Southern lights
We sit and watch the southern
lights
Magical holding tight
Dreams are the currency of
the heart
A little from each we do our
part
One day truth and love shall
reunite
All right it’s all right
Southern lights
We sit and watch the southern
lights
Gazing up we’re lost in
delight
Southern lights
We sit and watch the southern
lights
Magical holding tight
There is a grace beyond this
temporal space
Searching the universe
finding God’s face
The Southern Lights a melody
of the muse
If you need a friend I’ll
help pay your dues
Hold my hand as we walk
through this time
A perfect echo giving off
rhyme
Come here dear lady I’ll be
your knight
All right you’re all right
Southern lights
We sit and watch the southern
lights
Gazing up we’re lost in
delight
Southern lights
We sit and watch the southern
lights
Magical holding tight
Emptiness
A green lizard slithers on a wet stone
Flies gathering one precious all alone
A wicked grin a sinful flick of the tongue
Goodbye to the fly no more forever young
Emptiness a vacuum in deep space
Emptiness God has removed His grace
Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control
Emptiness like a banker’s soul
Demons screaming sizzling in eternal fire
Angels flying sighing singing with the choir
Before the Judgment Throne standing alone
Kneeling ain’t good enough be humble and prone
Emptiness a vacuum in deep space
Emptiness God has removed His grace
Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control
Emptiness like a banker’s soul
I’m dancing with the vampires on a Saturday night
If I offer my neck maybe one of them will bite
My blood is toxic contaminated with Mercury
I went to all the doctors none of them could cure me
In the leper colony we all revolted
Dirty unclean severely insulted
Marching to Zion we want to see the king
Oblivion is our god we are nothing
Emptiness a vacuum in deep space
Emptiness God has removed His grace
Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control
Emptiness like a banker’s soul
At the whorehouse my credit was denied
I saw a chick flick the hero crucified
A digital world with digital girls for hire
I am ashes, ashes of the eternal fire
Emptiness a vacuum in deep space
Emptiness God has removed His grace
Emptiness you’ve surrendered all control
Emptiness like a banker’s soul
Perfect Dark
A day when heaven closes their windows
It was the grandest of the grandest shows
The moon and stars played electric guitars
The hippies and yippies gathered on mars
It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more
It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war
Colors faded into the inevitable black
It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back
Dreams are shadows and life ain’t really real
I missed with my sweet kiss you’re the ideal
The gin makes my head spin I’m too far gone
Baby give me some love to lean upon
It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more
It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war
Colors faded into the inevitable black
It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back
Where is God when the bombs destroy
As bankers laugh in strip bars in mocking joy
Sorry Darwin has some laws that we must enforce
They don’t apply to us you know of course
Eggs for breakfast with coffee black and strong
In the perfect dark please play me this song
We’ll walk to the well of infinity
Darling I dare you take that plunge with me
It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more
It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war
Colors faded into the inevitable black
It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back
So lonely Joni plays only sad chords
Miracles of wonder fall under the words
Night goes on but there are rumors of dawn
I walked plucking the weeds from our garden
It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more
It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war
Colors faded into the inevitable black
It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back
Rewind
Chasing dollars you were blind
Chasing skirts out of your mind
On your deathbed what do you find
You can’t go back you can’t rewind
Rewind rewind the world is blind
In everything try to be a little kind
Try to leave a lasting gift behind
Rewind rewind the world is blind
Mecchanical monstrosities marching to war
Wave the flag brag about Babylon the Whore
Our button is bigger than yours you stupid jerks
My button is bigger than yours and it works!
Rewind rewind the world is blind
In everything try to be a little kind
Try to leave a lasting gift behind
Rewind rewind the world is blind
Acid shrooms tripping in room seven
Jesus if you’re real I want heaven
Eat drink and be merry tell me why
Because tomorrow you’re gonna die
Rewind rewind the world is blind
In everything try to be a little kind
Try to leave a lasting gift behind
Rewind rewind the world is blind
And at the moment when life freezes perfectly still
When the light shines that there is more than the kill
That we’re all human beings and money is fiction
And you’re soul collapses in carnal contradiction
Rewind rewind the world is blind
In everything try to be a little kind
Try to leave a lasting gift behind
Rewind rewind the world is blind
At the cross at the cross at the cross
Every ill begotten gain is a loss
At the cross at the cross at the cross
Hells the wastebasket will you be tossed?
Rewind rewind the world is blind
In everything try to be a little kind
Try to leave a lasting gift behind
Rewind rewind the world is blind
A Hurt Lover’s Lonesome Night
By John Kaniecki
Late night hush
Silence transcends to heavenly stars
Eternal lights never knowing sleep
Countless secrets they keep
No horoscope, no divination could give insight
And Allmighty God chose not to speak that night
Just like yesterday
Or the day before
And before and before and before
But one day, some day, we hope for more
Ten thousand agonies of a heart broken
Emotions overflowing yet nothing spoken
Except for the screaming of her misty tears
And the sounds of creations that have been echoing for years
It is not that there is no voice
It is that we refuse to hear
And that is by choice
Who has not known woe?
Or felt the bitter pain?
That nobody could know
Let alone explain
And so she remains in her solitude
Cept for the infinite stars above
And thus we conclude
Keeping in tact the mystery known as Love
POET TO THE POOR, REVOLUTIONARY POETRY
Verisimilitude
When I was young before I could count time
The so called priest committed a crime
Baptized they said Father Son Holy Ghost
One more for the score their carnal boast
If I ain’t honest it’s rude
We’re talking verisimilitude
You sure are one horny dude
We’re talking Verisimilitude
I pledged allegiance to the sacred flag
On the red white and blue I’d boast and brag
I cheered the soldiers as they went to war
A loyal slave of Babylon the Whore
If I ain’t honest it’s rude
We’re talking verisimilitude
You sure are one horny dude
We’re talking Verisimilitude
I learned the lie about Thanksgiving
Playground bullies were unforgiving
United we stand divided we fall
We all must answer the buglers call
If I ain’t honest it’s rude
We’re talking verisimilitude
You sure are one horny dude
We’re talking Verisimilitude
There were cracks in the foundation holes in the ceiling
Late in a sleepless night what was it I was feeling
Capitalism greed it was the American way
Get more money and it’ll all be okay
The truth always comes with great sacrifice
My sanity was the costly price
But I can see though I wish I was blind
Seek and I suppose you too will find
If I ain’t honest it’s rude
We’re talking verisimilitude
You sure are one horny dude
We’re talking Verisimilitude
