Forehead Joy

Forehead Joy

 FAWM  # 22

In the gold of dawn I hear heaven’s voice

But copper sir is my only choice

Rough and tumble rowdy rumble

I walk the straight path but I stumble

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

 

It’s late my eyelids are heavy like lead

I should be sleeping in my bed

But when the muse hits you ride

When the words roll you don’t hide

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

 

Teresa is working on Jordan’s Shore

No matter the pay I say you want more

If only Bob Dylan gave up the smokes

If only Walter Maxwell had no jokes

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

 

And the music plays echoing through the universe

For every blessing there’s an equal opposite curse

Pam died of cancer she never called to say goodbye

Evil Don loves his money in hellfire he will fry

 

Cryptic messages the market went bull

America the land of the free wicked and cruel

The pauper calls the billionaire a fool

I believe and receive a righteous rule

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

A Tiny Pill

 A Tiny Pill

 FAWM #16

I heard no words

I only saw faceless memories in digital black and white

I had no friends

Only ladies of the evening auctioning off their delight

 

And it was such a tiny pill

Who knew it could kill

It was such a tiny pill

Packed with an Almighty thrill

 

Pop singer ain’t no hero

Martin was a big spender he signed the magical line

Pop singer equals zero

He mockingly laughed at Natasha’s sister it’s all mine

 

And it was such a tiny pill

Who knew it could kill

It was such a tiny pill

Packed with an Almighty thrill

 

The church taught no truth

The so-called priest at the feast made me confess face to face

Who isn’t ignorant at youth

I was yearning burning concerning the elements of grace

 

And it was such a tiny pill

Who knew it could kill

It was such a tiny pill

Packed with an Almighty thrill

 

And if I only knew that dreams could come true I’d have become a rock and roll star

And if I only knew that dreams could come true I’d have gotten an electric guitar

But father wanted me to be a scientist his soul had been sold

And father wanted me to be an alchemist and turn lead into gold

 

I don’t believe I’ve done wrong

Cryptic clues confusing abusing with magical metaphors

You’re just a line in the song

I weep deeply as syringes wash up on the fabled Jersey shores

 

And it was such a tiny pill

Who knew it could kill

It was such a tiny pill

Packed with an Almighty thrill

Mister Wilson

 Mister Wilson

 

Hey Mister Wilson all numbers have their sum

And hey Mister Wilson they play the numbers in the slum

A Salvation Army banding piping we shall overcome

Hey Mister Wilson please tell me what have you done

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise

 

A world away you play with digits on the screen

When you don’t see the tears the evil don’t seem so mean

Welfare mothers kicking back with the brothers in the hood

In a black and white world color is misunderstood

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise

 

Ghetto defenders with righteous pretenders romance and dance

Every child in the wild is a victim of circumstance

And Mister Wilson we know you’re a self-made man

But your rich father sure did lend a hand

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise

 

The roaches swarm immune to toxic chemical swarms

Rats larger than cats abuse and refuse to conform

Still the money flows and everybody knows just fine

That in this world of greed the green is bottom line

 

Truth be told Mister Wilson you’re lost as could be

You heart in the frost counting the cost of idolatry

Hell is a fire burning in a rage out of control

You’ve made the upper grade while losing your soul

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise
