Dark Skinned Color Girl

Dark Skinned Color Girl

 

I am a dark skinned color girl

A grand black pearl

I shine divine

A child of the Earth

Of unfathomable worth

I am of the soil

More precious than oil

Black is the color of imagination

Through me shines the light of salvation

I am one with the land

There is a connection few understand

Mother Nature she is alive

Through her we all survive

Africa she is where I dwell

Oh her grandeur and glory I can tell

We are the cradle of civilization

Humanity’s genesis

Knowledge’s origination

Of eternal bliss

I am ordinary

And most extraordinary

A common person

But know the lesson

I am not defined by my dark skin

But rather by the beauty within

Can you even see

The reality

Of me

I am a dark skinned colored girl

And that is absolutely wonderful

Crown Of Thorns

Crown Of Thorns

 

HAIL THE KING!!!

 

Cries the voluptuous blonde

Edgar’s lustful eyes gaze upon

Hail the king!

 

With pleasure those words sing

Edgar sits upon a throne of gold

What is your wish?

Asks the blonde with fire

Tell me your secret desire

Edgar smiles content

“Surrender” Edgar commands

The blonde beauty she understands

The  i n t e n t

 

“But first” she does proclaim

A crown worthy of your fame

Trumpets BLAST in unison

Crowds cheer as if victory won

The blonde returns

Her face full of mocking scorn

In her hand a ‘crown of thorns’

“NO!” Edgar tries to resist

The beauty transforms to hideous beast

Slimy green skin and large sharp teeth

“NO!” Edgar does insist

The monster raises the symbol of pain

Edgar screams vain

 

“It was good enough for My Son”

Booms the voice of the Holy One

Dragonflies Emerging From My Pond

Dragonflies Emerging From My Pond

 

From the nearly silent humming

I know they are coming

An event I find so fond

Dragonflies emerging from my pond

It is a sight

Of wonder and delight

Most majestic of the insects

I hold them in great respect

Their wings flapping fast

Gracious long green bodies

Resembling the behemoths of the past

One by one I see them rise

Until like stars they speckle the skies

Every time it captures my heart

Dragonflies emerging from my pond

It is God’s work of art

Money And Power

 Money And Power

 

Capitalism’s cat she’s a playboy bunny

She doesn’t dig true love it’s pure money

A wad of cash and she’s your sweet honey

She’ll laugh at all your jokes even if they ain’t funny

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

An ogre with orange hair he’s selling us out

He looks in the mirror that’s all he’s about

What profit a man to gain the whole world’s control

And at the very same time you lose your soul

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

Martin counts every penny he’s got a disease

He wants a life of leisure to do as he please

Lie after lie it’s the blind leading the blind

Generals and bankers a blight on mankind

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

In Red China a million soldiers march in line

In Harvard business school mammon is divine

Pay your indulgences so you can enter paradise

Give all to the poor it’s my best advice

 

The final countdown Babylon’s beginning to fall

The Masters of War snivel wanting it all

Cracks in the foundation hear the Liberty Bell

They offer you heaven only to give you hell

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

A Touch Of Grace

 A Touch Of Grace

 

This life is a river in a hurry

Who will deliver us girlie

My mind is lost in worry

Love will save us surely

 

A lost soul in a forsaken place

See the tears roll on my face

Looking for a touch of grace

A lost soul in a forsaken place

 

I wanted to get some fame

So people would know my name

Now life it ain’t the same

And I only got self to blame

 

A lost soul in a forsaken place

See the tears roll on my face

Looking for a touch of grace

A lost soul in a forsaken place

 

Up is down in a crazy way

I ain’t got no words to pray

I just have one thing to say

May tomorrow be a better day

 

A lost soul in a forsaken place

See the tears roll on my face

Looking for a touch of grace

A lost soul in a forsaken place

The Land Where Dead Men Die

The Land Where Dead Men Die

 

In northwestern Wisconsin the east wind blows like sin                   

And all the farm girl sluts strut around being born again                              

Billy Graham would be preaching outside the honkey-tonk bars     

I’m just like Jesus Christ darling do you want to see my scars                     

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Well Rita was atheist or maybe agnostic who could tell

She wanted to believe in heaven but shunned talk of hell

Thumb extended she was hitchhiking anywhere south

She proclaims all the same it ain’t wrong if you use your mouth

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Daryll was a killer on the loose driving a tractor trailer

If I make the FBI’s most wanted I won’t be a failure

Rita had a short skirt it made Daryll hurt just to look

Pulling over the trucker chuckled I’ll rob her like a crook

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

All the Sanhedrin are chanting Psalm one twenty-one

The babes at the Passover are drunk and they want some fun

We all die young are you enjoying this thing called life

I’m mad at my momma cause she upset my current wife

 

Seems like the story needs resolution or at least a solution

The obvious answer my friends bloodless revolution

Rita was on the pill and Daryll went in for the kill

The humor of the rumor has it they’re out there riding still

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

It Didn’t Look Like The Sun

It Didn’t Look Like The Sun

 

I flunked out of poetry school for being a fool                      

My sonnets were carnal and my allusions cruel                                

I quoted Shakespeare clearly lacking optimism                                 

The official charge was downright plagiarism                                  

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

 

A coven of nuclear engineers had a project

My fantasy said “Baby can you share your rocket?”

Satanic engineers drooled over the bigger bang

We’ll dress up in leather and call ourselves a gang

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

 

Fornication is the celebration of the greater gods

I played the lottery unaware of the sinister odds

In Vegas I won in blackjack and lost it in the brothel

They refused me in heaven and second best was Hell

 

All the song lyrics Bob Dylan wrote will fade away

When saints are about to faint they learn how to pray

Jack Kerouac hit the sack right around sunrise

She screamed I love you madly but it was only lies

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

 

I picked Bert to be my secret pseudonym

One day everything will end and then we will begin

I will remember most those who were kind in heart

Living like poetry is the most sacred art

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun
