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

Money Is Green

 Money Is Green

 FAWM # 15

It’s a game we play it only to win                          

We’re America we cannot sin                                

The world is ours for us to enjoy                           

The world is ours for us to destroy                        

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

 

The banks are Satan seeking complete control

The banks are Satan they have no soul

Come inside we’re glad to give you a loan

What’s yours is ours let it be known

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

 

Soon the Amazon will be a thing of the past

In Fukushima waters still leaking fast

Digits increasing on the video screen

Digits increasing more money green

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

 

Hear me scream hear my howl this is living hell

There’s not one human being who is doing well

Mother Earth is slowly being crucified to death

The truth can’t be denied in every polluted breath

 

I’ll write a song speak what’s on my mind

I won’t hate I strive always to be kind

This generation is deaf and blind

The next generation will be left behind

 

Money is green dirty and obscene

Money is green it defines the scene

Money is green you know what I mean

Money is green no blues in between

We Were Young

 We Were Young

FAWM # 10

We didn’t know the truth but we saw the lie        

No one gave any answers when we asked why     

So we cried as we tried to reach the sky              

We had a good time baby getting high          

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

 

Dancing romancing discovering about love

Kissing you sweetly completely the moon above

In the backseat of my car we took it far

Looking back I wished I learned the guitar

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

 

We had wings but we feared leaving the ground

In a world lost where would the secrets be found

I held your hand we shared a common cause

Who were these teachers with their wicked laws

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

 

If I could travel back in time I wouldn’t change a single thing

Now the blast of the past is simply about a crime I sing

Listen teens new to the scene understand I walked in your shoes

You got pop music and rock but only the old know the blues

 

Why do the good things simply fade to black

It’s hard even for the memories to come back

Trapped in the very future we feared to come

The slavedriver beats on his wicked drum

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

A Song With No Name

 A Song With No Name

 

Walking down Fifth Avenue wearing suit and tie                  

An uptown blues guitarist caught my eye                             

He jammed singing in a homemade microphone                   

I sat by his side and we both weren’t alone                           

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

 

Well we talked about life and we both had a smile

His aged eyes had seen many a trial

I played with some of the best he did proclaim

I said “Let’s hear it again this song with no name”

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

 

He was a hustler had his case out for spare change

Fingers were whirling his voice deep and strange

The muse was a demon that none dared to tame

The day passed in a flash in a song with no name

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name

 

Was he an angel or a demon to tame?

He was playing a song with no name

Perhaps he was really a man of fame

He was playing a song with no name

 

There was an artist drawing pictures for money

I said draw us handing her a twenty

The day was captured and I rose to depart

He sweetly smiled and said dear child “You touched my heart”

 

He was playing a song with no name

Every riff unique nothing the same

Music is such a whimsical game

He was playing a song with no name
