Finding Peace

 Finding Peace

 

I read the articles of confederation

And the Bible all about salvation

But words on paper failed my cause

For man is not bound by laws

The generals gave me quite an alarm

His job was causing others harm

I refused even to give a simple salute

I’ve rejected the entire institute

At every juncture I took a turn

Lies and deceit lessons to learn

Meeker and weaker from my tries

I began to peel away at the disguise

The monster underneath grew clearer

In horror I discovered a mirror

‘Peace on Earth’ such a lofty goal

And I a child with a bitter soul

So I surrendered my frown for a smile

I escaped from the demon of denial

I said peace isn’t something you find

Peace is really a state of mind

There is only one way to start

And that is to put love in your heart

So I set off in Mother Earth with seeds to sow

To everyone I gave a friendly ‘hello’

Listen to this truth I say

Small things they go a long way

I dream of the bombs becoming obsolete

I dream of a world without victory of defeat

But the mountain of hatred is far too immense

And the insanity never made any sense

So I changed those things that I could

To everyone and all I did good

Then and there I had my release

This is my lesson in finding peace

Throwing Shadows

Throwing Shadows

 

Pinky asked me if I thought she was kinky

I was fully blessed as she undressed

There were tattoos I would never have guessed

She beckoned saying Come on baby ink me

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

 

We were on LaRue Avenue scoring some dope

Long ago we had given up on hope

The drug dealers were banging at Al’s

When I preach in Jesus’s name we’re pals

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

 

Well Monday morning the alarm clock screams

Pinky sighed then cried I was lost in my dreams

I went to the shower and I forgot to shave

Walking out the door I shouted “please behave”

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

 

Well the house was rocking the circus was in town

The bearded lady was getting it on with the sad clown

I was searching the churches for Pinky deep in prayer

But something told me you’ll get old searching there

 

In the shadows the black cat hisses

I miss you Pinky and all your wet kisses

You were a demon made from pure shade

Sad to say in the light of day shadows fade

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Zoey Sunshine

 

Hi

Smile

This is me

Crazy and free

Simply divine

Zoey Sunshine

Like the glory in heaven high

I am a piece of art

There is music in my heart

Beating loud

Singing proud

I stand out in the crowd

Cause I got style

Smile

This is me

A wonderful beauty

Finer than fine

Simple Till Its Not

Simple Till Its Not

 

Dancing in dorm sixty two forgetting you

She laughed saying I’m crazy without a clue

I sighed looked in her eyes and held her tight

Baby maybe you can save me if only tonight

 

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

 

We blew up the latex gloves making odd balloons

In the corner gathered beer sipping goons

I twirled you under the magical mirror ball

It was there and then that I knew I had it all

 

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

 

The grand leader of the band didn’t understand

If I only I had a love song we’d be in demand

I said sir for all its worth I got a simple tune

I stole the melody from dogs barking at the moon

 

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

 

And the tuba went oomph bah oomph op

I was halfway in I couldn’t stop

And the tuba went oomph bah oomph op

I climbed Mount Olympus to the top

 

Hera was cursing Zeus who was running loose

I needed an ace but I was delt the deuce

I said we live only to die so what’s the use

She said go fetch me another cup of electric juice

 

She said baby when ain’t hot hot

I said simple my dear till it’s not

I said when are the good times forgot

She said simple baby till it’s not

You Are My World

You Are My World

 

Seeking words as beautiful as you

But no words would ever do

Who could define a miracle

Or know the essence of the soul

 

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

 

In the Book of Love so it’s begun

Man and woman the two are one

With you by my side I have no care

Even in emptiness we had all to share

 

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

 

Let’s take a spaceship to some star

Seek the pleasures of distant Jupitar

Heaven is any place we can hide

As long as you’re by my side

 

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

 

Let me sing you this love song

Let me kiss away every wrong

When we’re together time stands still

I love you and always will

 

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

You are my world and more

In your arms I am secure

Eye Of The Minotaur

 

Check out EYE OF THE MINOTAUR

Tis a Revolution (a11)

 Tis a Revolution (a11)

 

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Rich man sailing on his fancy yacht

People dreaming about what he got

All his workers slaving doing over time

Ain’t against the law but it’s a crime

Rich man better make restitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

The people are talking on the street

A lot of them don’t have enough to eat

Some don’t got shoes to cover their feet

And there ain’t no way to beat the heat

I tell you I know the solution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Rappers they singing the ghetto’s rage

We all agree we gotta turn the page

Right now things aren’t the way to be

God made man and he made man free

Listen to the words of your religion

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Atomic powers is sick with nuclear waste

Gives everyone alive a bad taste

The toxic chemicals are beyond awful

For sure that stuff is criminal

The world is dying from our pollution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

We understand yes we see

You fill the land with futility

Democrat or Republican

Ain’t neither one to my likin’

What we need is a new constitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution
