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

Goodbye Galena

 Goodbye Galena

 

Goodbye Galena goodbye

You hopping now

In the grassy fields of the sky

Heaven is blue

With white clouds of delight

I wish you

A future ever bright

I am still holding fast

But one day I too shall pass

Please get on God’s good side

So when it is my turn

I’ll have no concern

And I’ll walk through those pearly gates wide

I promise

To bring you carrots and lettuce

So goodbye Galena farewell

Remember you’ll get no treats

If I wind up in hell

Bells and Whistles, Thorns and Thistles

 The Seven O’ Five Train Is Running Late

 

Ding, Ding, Ding, Hear the Bells ring

See the train, clear and plain

Life’s insane

 

Ding, Ding, Ding, Hear the Bells ring

Bars descend, Blocking tracks

Bars descend, Traffic held back

 

Woooooooooooooooohh!!! Goes the whistle

Woooooooooooooooohh!!! Goes the whistle

Hear it blow,

So everyone will know, the train comes near

So everyone will know, deep dark fear

 

Feel the ground, Rumble and Shake

A loud deafening sound, Hard to take

Silence shattered, Birds have scattered

We have defiled, everything that mattered

 

The seven o’ five, A little behind

It’s seven fifteen

                 The passengers

ARE OUT OF THEIR MIND

They’re getting mean,

TEN MINUTES LATE!!

Hurry, hurry, worry, worry

Can’t debate

Deadlines to make, Punch in the clock

Rules to break, A world in a lock

Governed by Mammon

A spiritual famine

Cold and cruel

M a n y   t h e  f o o l 

And thus begins an epic tale of Edgar the banker and his exploits focused on the train he uses first to commute to work and then to 'escape.'

ALL ABOARD THE TRAIN!!! Commuting has never been this exciting. Edgar, the banker, goes on a philosophical journey and a literal one. A well-to-do businessman from the suburbs commuting to the megalopolis of Babylon. But surely, there is more to life than the golden calf he bows down to. Perhaps it is ill-begotten to use people unscrupulously to maximize profits. But what does Edgar care, after all, "I got mine!" Sadly, or perhaps happily, Edgar is on a grand exploration. This pilgrimage is faithfully recorded in poetic grandeur. Terrific poetry here tantalizing the ear. Images burst like supernovas. Unforgettable characters. So go buy that one-way ticket and let's travel by the old humming steel rail. Kick back in your seat and enjoy the passing scenery. Bells and Whistles, Thorns and Thistles poetry for the coming new age!

Mother Teresa a Poem By John Kaniecki

 

Mother Teresa

 

By John Kaniecki

 

A saint with golden curly hair

I knew her before the war when we believed in prayer

Laughing kicking back without a crimson care

And then the years, fears and tears

Like shadow hawks appears

God knows evil nears

Still in the still God has his will

And on lonely Calvary time stood

Evil for good

Two thieves one on the left one on the right

The criminals nailed with a fight

But passive was the King of Kings

As hammer meeting nails

Hear the impale as the rhyming chiming wails

Get it out of your head

I recall Christ said

To love one another

Sister,

Brother,

The stranger in danger too

And funny honey I love you

It’s just the thing to do

Teresa you have grown

And you are known

In these words, immortal as your soul

Peace and justice a sacred secret goal

And you knew me when I was full of debate

Hated and a victim of hate

But I told Satan to wait

And saw in the simple what was great

But this is your poem so let me utter sugar candies sweet

Rise to the skies the phoenix knows no defeat

In the heart of Africa in the Congo is rape

Only through peace is there escape

The world is dying

The children are crying

And Christ once more crucifying.

A silver comb for your curls

The prettiest of the little girls

Spin the bottle and there is not a hint of shame

As this moment passes nothing is the same

Saint Teresa mother so kind

I wish you peace of mind
