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

A Mother’s Love

 A Mother’s Love

 

I was a child of promise but ain’t we all

Had a mind of mine own even when small

Seventeen stretching my wings for the sky

When you’re young you’re never gonna die

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

 

Started running with the crowd we were cool

Momma tried of course she was just a fool

Smoking cigarettes whistling at the boys

Every Saturday night gonna make some noise

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

 

Somewhere lost between heaven and hell

Took a wrong turn and nothing was well

All my friends played the disappearing act

I had my pride but I wanted to come back

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

 

The prodigal daughter fresh meat headed for the slaughter

Despised I was baptized in the devil’s dirty water

Butt of the joke busted and broke walking far behind

Somewhere in my mind I said momma’s always been kind

 

I said Momma dear I’m sorry for sure

Momma said what you standing there for

Come inside let me make you some hot tea

You’ll always be a precious little girl to me

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

Radical Jeff

Radical Jeff

 

Radio is playing some long-forgotten song

John Fogarty splaining how the world went wrong

Radical Jeff is driving he’s humming along

When your heart is true you are strong

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

 

Well there are too many things we could protest

If you believe in love you just want the best

No more endless war and that means genocide

Sorry Uncle Sam we don’t like pilgrim pride

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

 

By God’s grace go punch a Nazi in the face

Let’s fix Earth before we ruin outer space

Peace love and understanding for the human race

And radical Jeff is setting things in their place

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

 

Radical Jeff is throwing the dice he’s playing the game

Radical Jeff I wish he had a better rhyming name

Call him an old hippie call him whatever you will

Jesus said a lot more than Thou Shall Not Kill

 

On the corner tonight the weather was bitter cold

All of the time day by day we’re growing old

We have but one wish in this wicked world of sin

To leave better than we got to our children

 

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Full of hope a little cynical

We’re all hoping on a miracle

Radical Jeff well he’s a radical

Military Industrial Complex

Military Industrial Complex

 

Every weapon

Is a dream forsaken

A piece of bread

Taken

From the mouth of the poor

Such is the horror

Of war

The factories work day and night

Weapons, uniforms, food, for those who fight

They are generously paid

For the goods that are made

See wicked men gray and old

Coveting coffers full of gold

Hear the tale they tell

Making Eden hell

All is not well

Nor shall things be

Until we are free

Of organized hate

We have no time to wait

The ship is sinking in the stormy sea

We must be free

In the depths of my heart there is a hole

I feel it vex

My soul

The Military Industrial Complex

Satan’s soldiers with suit and tie

Manipulating the nation with lie after lie

Hear the perishing baby

Give its final cry

Why?

For profits

For profit they die

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

Drone Man

Drone Man

 

My favorite pit bull Clarence

His savage sharp teeth

Protrudes from his drooling mouth

Mimicking a Lion in starved rage

Carefully, cautiously

We go on a pleasant stroll

Over green hills and through

Valleys of yellow laughing lilies

His studded leather collar sturdy

The short leash tautly secure

We arrive at the Blue Lagoon

Flocks of diverse birds gather

Joyful choirs singing glorious poetic choruses

I flash a picture before Clarence

An image of the suspected target duck

Sketched personally with my presidential pen

I tie a sacred red, white and blue bandana

Over my pit bull’s bulging eyes

Effectively blinding him

I remove all restraints

I issue stern and proper binding orders

“Go and Kill!!!” I bark out

Off he rides into the sunset

Moments later Clarence returns

Colorful feathers fill his obedient mouth

SO NOT SORRY!!!

Our suspected terrorists

Was a family on the way to a wedding!?!

Welcome to the world of collateral damage

Thank Allah it was in Yemen

Cause if that shit happened here

We would Nuke Em.

Edgar and the Hard Facts of Life

 Edgar and the Hard Facts of Life

 

At the train station

SUN peeping in the SKY

Edgar has a sensation!

To end it all and die

And he don’t know why,

                                      And he don’t know why,

And he don’t know why,

His whole life is a               LIE

But he’s getting bye

And as the TRAIN comes near

There’s great tension and FEAR

That he’ll JUMP ahead

Before the TRAIN

And wind up DEAD

                                FUTILE AND VAIN

 

 

Poor Edgar sold his soul

 

 

For an office with a view

But he’s miserable

Doesn’t even have a clue

His fundamental flaw

He dare not mention

For he is in AWE

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

MORE, MORE, MORE

He pimps out his mind

Life left him behind

 

 

Of that he is sure

Trains And Whistles Thorns And Thistles

A World Without Borders

 

A World Without Borders 

 

I think therefore I see through my eyes

In the murky mist of geography

Not even second sight is right to see

Beyond the madness of myriad lies

There is this crap on the map

A soldier in camouflage green to attention will snap

Two huts serving as headquarters

Leaving lonely wives, sad sons and dismal daughters

But we must defend let’s pretend

For there is always the greater master plan

I can conquer the world oh YES I can

Even if I don’t have the soul of Hannibal, I have the goal

I will push the line

With broom or mop

I will not stop

On this modern page

Until they bomb us back into the Stone Age

Of course, I’ll be kicking back with the bankers

In Costa Rica

Or even Porto Rico

Though I don’t speeko Spanish

Or even Pig Latin

But I will fatten on the blubber of the innocent child

Lost in the whimsical wild

Who happens to transgress the longitude and latitude

With sincerest gratitude

The divine land mine explodes

And a cripple is born

While heaven is torn

Slowly dying

If there is a God, He is crying

 

I dream of a world without borders

Where generals give no orders

Imagine?

A world without sin

Can’t we start by having a heart

I’ll join the cause against unjust laws

I’ll do my part

A world without borders

I present it to you

May dreams come true!

Chico

Chico

 

Father far away in some distant land                         

Hard, hard, hard to understand                                  

Having so little yet called to sacrifice                        

Poverty of life comes with high price                        

 

A little baby boy of sad Spanish eyes

Robbed of joy victim of sordid lies

Chico is his name Chico is his fame

Chico will grow old Chico will grow bold

 

Father works hard harvesting the crops

The barley the grapes the hops

His sin darker skin temporarily tolerated

Speaks little English uniformly hated

 

A little baby boy of sad Spanish eyes

Robbed of joy victim of sordid lies

Chico is his name Chico is his fame

Chico will grow old Chico will grow bold

 

Far away Chico’s life at home isn’t well

The marine in green deals hell

Gringo comes with his gun killing just for fun

A war with the poor a victory is won

After all bananas for all ages

Must be tended with minimum wages

 

A little baby boy of sad Spanish eyes

Robbed of joy victim of sordid lies

Chico is his name Chico is his fame

Chico will grow old Chico will grow bold

 

The spirit of Somoza is on the rise

Few and far between the cries

Nobody cares what they do to the brown

When they come and burn down your town

Oh the little things that they will hide

Like the silent genocide

 

A little baby boy of sad Spanish eyes

Robbed of joy victim of sordid lies

Chico is his name Chico is his fame

Chico will grow old Chico will grow bold

Days Of Your Life

 Days Of Your Life

 

Welcome to this place we call school

Open your eyes be wise play the fool

Inside your heart our darkness shall rule

A cog in our machine you’re the perfect tool

 

Be a good little boy

One day you’ll enter heaven with joy

Endless questions only annoy

Be a good little boy

 

Learn your lessons and learn them well

Never mind be blind to this living hell

Study hard and we shall indoctrinate

Gone is your love welcome in hate

 

Be a diligent young man

Play your part in the master plan

Serve the state yes you can

Be a diligent young man

 

These are the days of your life just a flash

Inside your mind sense and reason clash

These are the days of your life soon to end

You have no answers you just merely pretend

 

Rocks red glare bursting in the air

To scared for anything save prayer

Mangled bodies war is a sordid affair

A hard way to learn they really don’t care

 

Be a courageous young soldier

March forward be bolder

Carry the cross on your soldier

Be a courageous young soldier

 

And you teach your children the same wicked sin

And you teach your children that life’s a game to win

And you grow old and pretend to be wise

These are the days of your life only lies

Rain

Rain

 

On the shore of evermore the armies march to war

A terrible scene that we’ve seen many times before

For God country and king the united voices sing

Doom death and destruction the fruits they bring

 

May the heavens open let it rain

Can sinners be forgiven let it rain

A baptism of fire ample pain

Life mysteries that none can explain

Let it rain let it rain let it rain

 

A mother’s weeping bitter tears flowing as a stream

Her son’s a casualty and thus dies the dream

She clutches a photograph he’s in his uniform

How many will perish in this devilish dark storm

 

May the heavens open let it rain

Can sinners be forgiven let it rain

A baptism of fire ample pain

Life mysteries that none can explain

Let it rain let it rain let it rain

 

Businessmen with greedy minds clutch coins of gold

Don’t you know that long ago their souls they sold

Fluent in lies it’s no surprise the words they tell

They promise heaven on Earth bringing only hell

 

May the heavens open let it rain

Can sinners be forgiven let it rain

A baptism of fire ample pain

Life mysteries that none can explain

Let it rain let it rain let it rain

 

And the child is innocent pure as a dove

And the child is innocent secure in love

The tender shoot they pollute with deceit

A wicked world always to compete

 

An innocent man there was in some distant time

Nailed to the cross telling the truth his only crime

Sacred saints recorded his words in a holy book

The profits of today say amen and never look

 

May the heavens open let it rain

Can sinners be forgiven let it rain

A baptism of fire ample pain

Life mysteries that none can explain

Let it rain let it rain let it rain
