Fame — is the
prostitution
of a soul
Publication —
a billboard
auction of talent
And genius —
a quiet mouth
with rare talent

FAME
NewsPapers and Taxis and Texts
I saw it in the trees, in the way they leaned and twisted
as if in agony, a warning I had missed.
And then the night it happened, our hollow tree in flames,
and firemen running frantic, like ants in frenzy’s games.
The signs were there, but I chose not to see or hear,
the patient pine that fell, the maple’s snap severe.
Now as the world transforms, and all around me shifts,
the yellow house dismantles, fence lines torn like fabric rifts.
Ponds become backfilled graves, cabooses turn to tanks,
eagles to vultures morph, and wild grass to tiled ranks.
In this world of change and flux,
I whisper to myself,
“I should have known,” like Emily,
my heart a quiet delph.
For like her, I too see now,
the truth that I ignored,
the warnings that were given,
the signs I should’ve adored.

HOW I felt the Pain of Your Freedom
“You caused me a lot of pain
When you focus on yourself, you may feel happy
But it brings me down like this
I want to protect my heart from harm
In a world that can be so unkind
If my blood drips from my mouth
It’s a symbol of how you ripped my heart out
And left me to suffer alone
You seemed to take pleasure in my demise
I feel like I’m already dead
It seemed like you wanted to watch me suffer
But if you deceive yourself into thinking otherwise
You may find happiness in a world of your own creation
You knocked me out of my life.”

Hate You
Love me. Say you hate me
Betray me. Another life
tell me I’m old
yeah you.
Hate me: for who i am.
bury me six feet deep
and dance upon my soil
Yeah, show me your hate
Testing God and your faith
how you love to kill
Religion is a wall
of illness — throw up
and watch babies dead
crawling from doctor
offices yeah
Love it? Hate me?
Rape me? Hate Me?
Fuck you! Fuck you!
How you are the only
one speaking goo
goo guck in your face!
How I hate baby killers!
Hate you!

Eternal Love
ETERNAL LOVE
I drown within the notes
of my dreams so furious
a whirlwind of passion
diving deeply sweet one
a bite a sweet strawberry
but my sword is drawn
the fury of this dream
vicious passion needing
truth and life and sanctity
what can I say to you
what passion your heart need
my fire burns a hole in life
my minor keys sing a life
burning doubt away dove
kiss the eternal fire of love!

CIRCLE WARS
I gave you my throat
so let me say
the sun beats down
my Soul
I walked miles as human
seeing death and strange
Oh, elders of my council
judge them by their actions
let simple people sleep
In the song I’ve heard
thunderous drums
oh yeah let them sleep
without your love we die
Inside everything reveal
everything you built
Pyramids and megalitch
forests oooooh
We fought the giants
no denying…oh yeah
lost many men and women
fighting the fallen ones
