Blighted The World

 Blighted The World

 

You spent days in the maze going all ways

Hyped you typed the words to the latest craze

What a pretender you can never surrender

Through the door the Minotaur the game ender

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

The rat runs from the cat chases the cheese

When you are homeless you do as you please

You served your time and you did no crime

Except for obeying orders and marching in line

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

They are gentrifying Harlem way uptown

The orders are given from the banks on down

While the disheveled veteran sleeps on grate

Mass production it’s hard to function with hate

 

LSD slips in his juice

He is free fabulously loose

He chases the dragon today

Tomorrow is the time to pay

Tomorrow and what more

Enter the Minotaur

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

In that fatal moment when insanity becomes real

You cannot repent or even see the total deal

And with open eyes you realize Babylon

With trembling slips time slips and all is gone

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

Tis a Revolution (a11)

 Tis a Revolution (a11)

 

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Rich man sailing on his fancy yacht

People dreaming about what he got

All his workers slaving doing over time

Ain’t against the law but it’s a crime

Rich man better make restitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

The people are talking on the street

A lot of them don’t have enough to eat

Some don’t got shoes to cover their feet

And there ain’t no way to beat the heat

I tell you I know the solution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Rappers they singing the ghetto’s rage

We all agree we gotta turn the page

Right now things aren’t the way to be

God made man and he made man free

Listen to the words of your religion

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Atomic powers is sick with nuclear waste

Gives everyone alive a bad taste

The toxic chemicals are beyond awful

For sure that stuff is criminal

The world is dying from our pollution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

We understand yes we see

You fill the land with futility

Democrat or Republican

Ain’t neither one to my likin’

What we need is a new constitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

Words

 Words

 

Around town the sound found on the street has a funky beat

Rappers and girl slappers struggle for victory or defeat

Politicians pontificate policies perpetuating pure hate

Their truth is lies in disguise how passionately they debate

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

 

Bums out in the cold surviving from dumpster diving

A chicken in every pot they forgot who they’re jiving

Rich men never go to jail if they fail they pay a fine

See the priest feast he got some line about being divine

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

 

Put letters together and move your tongue

In fuse the blues a song is sung

Rock and roll refugees with long hair

In the land of the free they don’t care

Debt slaves till we enter our graves

In the end my friend only Jesus saves

 

Propaganda penetrates a panoply of pretense

Killing and war is evil it’s a matter of common sense

The Vodka is strong you belong if you drink it straight

Don’t wait articulate what you think try to relate

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

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

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

Song of My Heart

 Song of My Heart

 

I’m searching for the right words to say

To make it all okay

Could you lend me your ear in the cool autumn breeze?

It would put my mind at ease

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

Spent the night haunted by confused memories

Churned by a twisted history

Different players in an identical game

But the song remains the same

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

In a deep dark valley with a cool running stream

I see a princess in a dream

I’m feeling the rapture I’m sensing the bliss

I will be free with your passionate kiss

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

My thoughts turn to the memories of the days that we spent

Living off of the love that we lent

If you take the love I give I’m sure you will see

The truth is you’re just like me (X3)

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

You know you’re just like me

You’re just like me 

Girl you’re just like me

I Shall Rise

I Shall Rise

 

Meat and bones dollars and cents he takes a chance                         

Here’s a dollar baby do you do more than dance?                            

Sparkling eyes tomorrow dies in yes and no                                     

Let’s make the trick quick I gotta do a show                                    

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

 

My past of a fool fuels the rocket to fly

I declare beware I ain’t gonna take a lie

Look hear mister I got my fighting shoes on

Have no sad tear sweet sister my life ain’t gone

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

 

On La Rue Avenue there’s a comic store

Batman and the Joker fight in eternal war

Can you sleep at night sir that’s the real score?

It’s easy to get high but it’s hard to soar

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

 

Scum of the Earth Jesus died for you

What is your worth one and one is two

The calculus of capitalism is pain

Like a crook you took from the insane

Let me explain you’re a carnal crook vain

 

There’s a cop waiting to stop your red corvette

You’re a real prince but even the kings regret

I’m going in the dungeon to find my gold

Life is a tale and the future’s still untold

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

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

The Disappearing Act

The Disappearing Act

 

Center stage

No one denies it was an act of rage

Hiding behind a Bush

Giving things a push

There stood the mysterious Houdini

Next to him a busty woman

In an itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka dot bikini

She had two magnificent towers

As I recall

The tallest of them all

I could stare at them for hours

The marvelous magician

Makes the first tower disappear

Without a hint

It collapses in its footprint

Twenty two minutes later alligator

The dastardly deed is repeated

And all the king’s horses

And all the king’s men

Couldn’t return the towers again

Honestly

Thank God for the double insurance policy

Never mind the expense for removing the asbestos

But I recall that isn’t all

Our marvelous woman

Now with a flat chest

Still had her marvelous treasure chest

But despite no act by Houdini

She lost the bottom of her bikini

All in all

The panties falling in freefall 

Her vaginal hair shaped in the number seven

This is the hidden story of  Nine Eleven

Next time you visit an engineering school

Educate yourself you fool

Ask a PhD in structural engineering

The physics behind the three buildings disappearing

September eleventh is a day dark and black

The disappearing act

Was an inside attack

And to settle the alleged score

We got more war that’s for sure

Firm in our resolve

Attacking countries not involved

Still Don’t Know

Still Don’t Know

 

Sweet whispers under night’s sky

Why is heaven so high?

Clouds blowing to and fro

And I still don’t know

I have demons

Like heaven has its hell

I’ll keep on dreamin’

You really can never tell

 

Still don’t know, still don’t know

Still don’t know, still don’t know

 

Life’s confusion

Truth fades to illusion

You have all you desired

Cept what is required

 

You never came

Played me as if a game

Still you did give

It helped me to live

Yet the love didn’t grow

Still don’t know, still don’t know

 

Truth written in stone

Love’s essence never known

What more can I bring

Cept everything

 

Still don’t know, still don’t know

Still don’t know, still don’t know

Smile Jesus Loves You

Smile Jesus Loves You

 

It’s Sunday morning and the church is somewhere                           

All the saints are putting in their two hours of prayer                       

Meanwhile caught in the trial of a wicked day                                  

ICE agents are carrying mamasita away

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

 

Her babies are crying a lament straight from hell

She’s in some dark room with an ominous smell

You see the Land of the Free has some exceptions

Native American genocide nobody mentions

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

 

I am eating hot oatmeal feeling guilty

Is God on my side the Holy Spirt still with me

I promised God my life all he gets is this song

Try as I might I cannot right a simple wrong

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

 

In my fantasy she is with me and we are breathing fire

Laughing in the seventh heaven planning to take it higher

Is this confusion all a delusion orchestrated by the enemy

Or is the love from above going to set mankind free?

 

The misery of my headache it still lingers

I grimace at the tapping of my fingers

I look at planet Earth so many are lost

Who will stand up and defy the holocaust

 

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Smile Jesus loves you can’t you tell

Hear the chiming of the golden church bell

Smile Jesus loves you all will be well

Canto 1

 Canto 1

 

Poetry without a word

The look in your eye heard

Gently I kiss your lips

Slowly we sway our hips

In and out, out and in

Where do you end and I begin?

Lost Cantos Of John Kaniecki

Long After the Gold Rush

Long After the Gold Rush

 

Miracles beyond conception coming true

Fulfilling more then we ever knew

Inca Queen in glory, smiling in dance

God gave us a second chance

We came in rags and tatters

It is the heart that matters

Given more then we could conceive

Beyond blessing to believe

The clown in a permanent smile

And we laughed for a while

We were headed for a new home

And we rejoiced in style

We were headed for a new home

Something we have never known

 

I was sitting on a pure golden throne

The sun is the moon in disguise

I was coping hoping for demotion

When I understood reality is full of lies

There was an angel whispering in my ear

Heaven it was never so near

And my dream so crystal clear

I was thinking about what a friend had said

He was not a friend at all

I was thinking about what a friend had said

So many issues I could not recall

 

I thought on the days of our landing

How joy exalted our spirit so high

We thought we had understanding

And a love and wisdom none could deny

Life itself kissed us in romance

God gave us a second chance

We came in rags and tatters

It is the heart that matters

Given more then we could conceive

Beyond blessings to believe

And we cried for a while

Living in our brand new home

It was then we became aware

We couldn’t do it here if we didn’t do it there

Such sorrow had never been known

The tears washed the makeup off the clown’s face

We looked and it was not the look of grace

When can we really go home?

Go On Tyrone

Go On Tyrone

 

Down in the righteous red raspberry field                 

Where even politicians promise to yield                   

There lies a dog who is longing for a bone               

And all the cheerleaders are cheering alone              

 

Go on Tryone score one for the team

Go on Tyrone life is but a dream

Go on Tyrone hear the scream

Go on Tyrone score one for the team

 

Momma loves you baby so says Julie

Johnnie Ninety-Nine says I miss you truly

Alexander sees in the crowd an empty space

You gotta earn heaven even if saved by grace

 

Go on Tryone score one for the team

Go on Tyrone life is but a dream

Go on Tyrone hear the scream

Go on Tyrone score one for the team

 

Marvin Gay lost his way in a distant day

We got free speech is a slogan they all say

Capitalist stooges sucking up to billionaires

You can’t get lunch but we got plenty of prayers

 

Go on Tryone score one for the team

Go on Tyrone life is but a dream

Go on Tyrone hear the scream

Go on Tyrone score one for the team

 

We are lining up trying to make the church great again

Ekong is praying the people swaying where’s the amen

We love you Jesus but hey I got this nine to five

I write poems but tricky rhymes ain’t gonna help me survive

 

The truth is that life is hard for the youth

Astro physics presents equations hard to refute

The seven star general I don’t salute

Percy got his pipe and he’s planning to toot

 

Go on Tryone score one for the team

Go on Tyrone life is but a dream

Go on Tyrone hear the scream

Go on Tyrone score one for the team
