 Jupitar

 

I want to go to Jupitar

Jupitar

Do you think there’s war

On Jupitar, Jupitar

We could have a cosmic cruise

If we lose we lose

 

I want to go to Jupitar

Jupitar

Way up on a star

That’s where the good ones are

On Jupitar, Jupitar

 

Captain John and his merry band

Would sure like to lend a hand

On Jupitar

You can be a star

Dance up on the bar

We all know where we are

It’s Jupitar

 

Touch down landing

Are you understanding

We’re in heaven high

On Jupitar in the sky

If you search you’ll find

Jupitar is a state of mind

 

Let’s all go to Jupitar

Jupitar

Ain’t no hardship or war

On Jupitar, Jupitar

Let’s take that cosmic cruise

Ain’t no way we can lose

HAVE A LISTEN TO JUPITAR

I’ll Start Tomorrow

 I’ll Start Tomorrow

 

Lavender is the color of surrender go pay your dues

Red is dead he said so it’s the blues that I choose

Sleeping late ain’t the way to make dreams come true

Love and hate spotlight at midnight do you have a clue

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

The wind is blowing we’re going to the twilight zone

Nothing is the greatest something that I’ve ever known

There is a lead zeppelin crashing into the endless sea

Atlantis home of the divine was fine until anarchy

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

Sean sighs he’s got two more years of college to go

What the future brings he sings I just don’t know

The moment is now we have no promise of more

Life is for living quit trying to count the score

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

You’ll never reach your destination with procrastination

A little hesitation some doubt about then no salvation

The world spins round and round today is your chance

Nothing in is the greatest sin life is a lady to romance

 

Sean is slowly counting the pennies one by one

Is this living? Is God forgiving? I ain’t having fun

None can determine exactly where we start

But the day belongs to those strong enough to follow their heart

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

The Big Score

 The Big Score

 

Taking the midnight flight to Vegas on a hunch                                

He had all the numbers and he made them crunch                            

Kissed his wife goodbye with a sweet little lie                                  

If she knew the truth it would only make her cry                              

 

He said come on baby just one more

I’ll be quitting after the big score

Don’t walk out that door

I’m going to be winning the big score

 

The stewardess was hot with no inhibition

Alas he was steadfast a man on his mission

He had three kids with dreams of education

If he won his bet so sweet would be salvation

 

He said come on baby just one more

I’ll be quitting after the big score

Don’t walk out that door

I’m going to be winning the big score

 

Touchdown the rain was pouring from way on high

When you don’t know the truth you can’t tell a lie

A limousine into town going all the way

Tonight was the night tomorrow the golden day

 

He said come on baby just one more

I’ll be quitting after the big score

Don’t walk out that door

I’m going to be winning the big score

 

Money is a poison the runs in the veins of the American dream

The green monster chews you up and makes you wanna scream

It’s more, more, more you’re looking for the big score

You hit it big then it’s another gig looking for the big score

 

It’s your life’s savings but are you gonna win

Win or lose you’ll have the blues of your sin

Deja vous on you as you walk the gambling floor

The mirror ball spins nobody wins the big score

 

He said come on baby just one more

I’ll be quitting after the big score

Don’t walk out that door

I’m going to be winning the big score

Lords Of The Hollow

Lords Of The Hollow

 

Walk the walk talk the talk that’s what they say

I’m a midnight demon hunting my prey

Every footstep fills another letter

And let me tell you brother it’s getting better

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

Flying high in the sky past the stratosphere

It’s live and let die without any fear

I’ve waited a lifetime just to flap my wings

I’m ready roaring soaring seeing what life brings

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

There she is the definition of love

She’s the one everybody’s dreaming of

Keeping cool I start to drool taking aim

In a flash of fire my desire bursts into flame

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

Tomorrow’s something that will never come

We are kings and rock and roll our kingdom

Hot gals fast cars and a good portion of soul

We’re radicals revolting against ground control

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

Ona Move

 Ona Move

Dedicated to those slain in the fire from sky

To the men, women and children who did die

By the hands of wicked men insane

May their sacrifice not be in vain

 

Pale invaders from across the sea

Democracy, we shall be free?

The Earth echoes with their cries

Mother mourns lamenting their lies

Red men in peace and harmony understood

To serve the Creator we must do good

A brutal winter to survive

Indians in Love kept them alive

And to repay the kindness done

Each pilgrim picked up a gun

And to those not blown away

Gotta move gotta move this day

All in God’s name

Evil they proclaim

It’s a shame

Still I insist and say

Ona Move Ona Move this day

 

Arrogant minds lusting for power

A darkness of scourge to devour

Men stolen from African home

Chained on ships to terrors unknown

Victims of a diabolical plan

Beasts of burden transformed from man

Beaten, bound upon fields of cotton

Agonies the system insists be forgotten

And when the chains of iron fell

Chattel slavery deformed to a different hell

No forty acres and a mule

A little better but still infinitely cruel

The master of the opulent plantation

Shares no wealth only tales of salvation

So to those emancipated as they earnestly pray

Gotta move gotta move this day

All in God’s name

Evil they proclaim

It’s a shame

Still I insist and say

Ona Move Ona Move this day

 

From history that makes no sense

A hypothetical pretense

That we have an unalienable right

To say and do as we might

So we gather, build and organize

What we create they come to despise

For tyrants live in castles of sand

To be washed away when we understand

So John Africa with brilliant mind

Opened his eyes to truths to find

That the government is a slave to money

And humanity is robbed by technology

So to flourish we should live simple

And forsake the nonsense that clutters the soul

Yet darkness seeks to extinguish light

In Philadelphia came many a fight

Until in the city of brotherly love

They dropped a bomb from the sky above

Only Ramona and a child to survive

But from the ashes the dream stays alive

When you kill with a uniform its okay?

Gotta move gotta move this day

All in God’s name

Evil they proclaim

It’s a shame

Still I insist and say

Ona Move Ona Move this day

 

They lie about everything under the sun

Especially the evil they have done

Still there is something to prove

Ona Move Ona Move

 

Move from hate

Move from useless debate

Move from science

Move from technological reliance

Move from greed

Move I plead

Move indeed

Move from war

Move from Babylon the Whore

I’ll say it once more

For I am sure

There is something to prove

Ona Move Ona Move

 

Move to peace

Move to release

Move to being kind

Move to free our mind

Move to see

Move to being free

Move to God above

Most of all Move to Love

There is something to prove

Ona Move Ona Move

 

When we Move in this land

When we come to understand

Wicked powers will die

Empty demons tossed from the sky

I cannot Move for you

It’s something we all must do

Be true

And know in all we go through

Love will renew

Love will renew

Love will renew

There is something to prove

Ona Move Ona Move

 

Darkness shall decay

Ona Move Ona Move this day

No force shall make us stray

Ona Move Ona Move this day

For we too come in God’s name

We too have a message to proclaim

Our prophecies are not the same

We do not blame

Come the sun, see it rise

Look with your own eyes

Dawn’s first ray

Ona Move Ona Move this day

Night is turning to day

Ona Move that’s what we all say

Ona Move Ona Move this day

Prove what we got to prove

Ona Move

Undercover Heart

Undercover Heart

 

Two ships crashing in the deep blue sea                                

One of them you and one of them me                                   

Shiver me timbers kiss me a gale                                          

I reminisce we were too big to fail                                        

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

 

Sex is only intimate with trust

A million partners twas only lust

I burnt down the rainbow to the sky

She smiled saying please give it one more try

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

 

Alpha Beta we’re counting letters

The news telling sins of our betters

Give me the dream of one Sigmund Freud

Lost in space ain’t no grace in the void

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

 

The man in the long trench coat is searching your trash can

I was a witness to the dreaming philosopher’s perfect plan

Peace on Earth wasn’t that the promise of the Lord’s birth

When the shit hits the fan then man you gotta prove you worth

 

I offer you my hand forever

But yes or no it’s now or never

Dreams don’t always end when you awake

If you live to give you may freely take

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

The Lost Cantos Of John Kaniecki

The Lost Cantos Of John Kaniecki

I guess the first question regarding “The Lost Cantos Of John Kaniecki” is where did they go?

“The Lost Cantos Of John Kaniecki” were written about twenty years ago. The collection was placed in my parent’s attic where they survived the ferocious heat. Next they went to my basement where they survived the flooding of Hurricane Sandy. Perhaps “The Lost Cantos” would be better labeled “The Misplaced Cantos” but that wouldn’t be as dramatic would it?

 “The Lost Cantos Of John Kaniecki” is a feel good book. They poems have rhythm and rhyme.

Canto 10

From the window I saw an eagle fly

Soaring in the heaven’s azure blue sky

Said my friend with pipe in his withered hand

The universe’s mysteries I do understand

My gaze lowered to view his wrinkled face

If I wasn’t high I would leave this place

But the Earth pipe he passed to me

And I inhaled then I did disagree

To admit omnipotence is a fatal sin

Humility is the place to begin

For knowledge alone solves no mystery at all

True understanding is answering God’s call

Then the wind whipped and sang a moan

And I understood, yes I alone

I looked upon the fool with great pity

How futile is the chase to infinity

Counting one by one is how they go

Me I simply divide by zero

It’s nothing special and nothing at all

True understanding is answering God’s call

The wine in my glass was once full to me

But long ago I have made the vessel empty

My friend was stoned and stoned I should be

For to some being high is heresy

Please check out this phenomenal book of poetry.

Going To Grenada

 Keeping on the Caribbean theme I am most happy to present to you “Going to Grenada.”  This song lyric was written in that sunny paradise inspired by the journey of my wife and me to her home. Maurice Bishop was perhaps the greatest political mind of the twenty-first century.

You will find this gem and many others in my book of song lyrics called “Without The Music.” If you have are a singer and what some material it is a must. Or from a purely poetic point of view, it is a work worthy of exploration. 

Going To Grenada

JFK was miles away to catch the plane

City in fright, security tight what a pain

Took off my belt and I mooned the guard

Never knew going to Grenada would be so hard

Going to Grenada

The Island in the sea

Going to Grenada

With my Love with me

Landed in the sun, really felt the heat

Maurice Bishop airport that name’s a treat

Long ago the man fought for all our dreams

Rose like an angel only to fall in screams

Going to Grenada

Revolution does survive

Going to Grenada

Our hopes are still alive

Family, friends, we are kinfolk one and all

Calypso, hip hop, reggae, prophets call

Times hard, money tight but hopes run high

Maurice is dead but dreams can never die

Music puts the Love in motion

Sunny beaches by the ocean

Riches here beyond compare

For all of us to share?

Going to Grenada

Can you read between the lines

Going to Grenada

Everything will be fine

My throat dry, belly empty, where is righteousness

Jesus was well until Judas gave his kiss

On that hill on that cross blood was shed for peace

The world could use another man like you Maurice

Going to Grenada

God I beg you for your grace

Going to Grenada

Help the human race

Au De Restaurant (k29)

 

Last night I saw Jim Morison’s twin brother

It had to be him it could be none other

He was singing blues in a little French café

And boy did he sure parlez vous francais

The waiter came by and said bonjour

I pointed to my beer and said some more

Then I spotted a sweet mademoiselle

I knew she wanted me I could just tell

 

Au de restaurant

You got what I want

Au de restaurant

You got what I want

 

Well I saw mademoiselle staring at me

She came by and said je m’appelle Marie

The dame sat next to me right at the table

I tell you I was willing and able

I told her you are a beautiful lady

She looked at me and said no speaka anglais

Then she said something with the word l’armour

That word meant love I heard it before

So I hastily said my au revoir

Then I left Marie and went to the bar

 

Au de restaurant

You got what I want

Au de restaurant

You got what I want

 

I was sitting next to long dead Jim’s twin

He was drinking from a bottle of gin

He whispered no one hear gets out alive

I laughed in his face and said you’re full of jive

He gave a quick chuckle and smiled a grin

He said to me they way you talk it’s a sin

I said who appointed you God and Lord

He took a swig of gin and said no word

I was fairly drunk my head started to swim

I said Mister who do you think you are Jim

 

Au de restaurant

You got what I want

Au de restaurant

You got what I want

Yes all that stuff happened to my yesterday

At a French place called the Dead Man’s café

They got what you want

Au de restaurant

Hot Black Coffee and a Cigarette

 Hot Black Coffee and a Cigarette

 

A thousand demos a day

All I can do is pray

When I rock and roll

It comes from the soul

I have sung them blues

Lived a life of bad news

 

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

How could life get better yet

Just enough to keep me going

Just enough to keep me growing

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

 

Looking for a soul to steal

The devil comes to make a deal

But I see through his disguise

Cause his words are only lies

The way Satan he function

He’ll take you to down to destruction

 

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

How could life get better yet

Just enough to keep me going

Just enough to keep me growing

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

 

Right now I’m below low

Up is the only way to go

Hitch hiking for a rocket

Only got three dollars in my pocket

But three will pay the toll

On the highway of Rock and Roll

 

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

How could life get better yet

Just enough to keep me going

Just enough to keep me growing

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

 

I see a light in the black night

I see a light burning green with delight

I hear a voice that always calls

I feel a hand that lifts as I fall

I may never make it to the top

But the truth is I’ll never stop

 

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

How could life get better yet

Just enough to keep me going

Just enough to keep me growing

Hot black coffee and a cigarette

Midnight Lover

 Midnight Lover

 

Woke up and drank coffee and cream

My mind couldn’t shake the dream

I had a vision that you came

You softly whispered my name

Then in the dark of the deep night

You made it all right

 

Sipping java from my cup

So sorry that I woke up

Reading sports in the news

I’m still thinking of you

You filled me with wonder

I need you midnight lover

 

You can look there’s nothing better to discover

The greatest find is my magnificent midnight lover

I could never dream of giving my heart to another

I long for you deep in my soul, my midnight lover

 

Looking out my window

The train always goes to slow

The sky is a dark gray

And into sleep I slip away

 

I can feel your kisses deep

I wish I could always sleep

I believe in heaven yes it’s true

It’s paradise loving you

 

You can look there’s nothing better to discover

The greatest find is my magnificent midnight lover

I could never dream of giving my heart to another

I long for you deep in my soul, my midnight lover

 

I love you

It’s very true

It’s how I feel

But it’s not real

I love you

It’s very real

But it’s no good

I need flesh and blood

 

You can look there’s nothing better to discover

The greatest find is my magnificent midnight lover

I could never dream of giving my heart to another

I long for you deep in my soul, my midnight lover

The Story of the Bluebird

 The Story of the Bluebird

 

There was a strong man who was the strongest being in all of creation, and His name was the Wind. The Wind was blind, though. Unfortunately for the rest of creation, the Wind always had somewhere to go, and it seemed that he was always in a hurry to get there. Not being too bright and being blind, the Wind would unknowingly push others out of the way in a huff and a puff. This upset quite a host of people, especially the arrogant ones that considered themselves gods. I mean, if you're a god, you shouldn't be pushed around by anyone, especially a blind man. At the end of the day, the Wind would rest in his Oak Tree at the highest height of creation. Up there, he could hear every utterance in the entire Universe. The Wind would hear people curse his name with the foulest of words and meanest of intentions. This hurt the Wind's feelings, who did not understand at all, and it even made him cry, sometimes with bitter weeping.                                                                                                

Now there was the Blue Bird, and he/she was the most beautiful thing in all creation. The Blue Bird (who was really a shade of purple) would fly all around. Whenever the Blue Bird came, people would immediately shout, "Look the Blue Bird." Then every creature that was around would come rushing to see their wonderful, feathered friend. They, too, would scream and shout in their happiness.

Now far, far, far more beautiful than the Blue Bird's appearance was her song. Yet nobody would hear the song because they were too busy shouting and screaming in her presence! However, the Blue Bird would go to the Wind's tree late at night and sing her lovely song to him. Thus, the Blind Man saw the best of all.
