the blackened sun

running
guards wearing robes
chase me towards a cove
while i wonder in fear where they come from
and behind me i hear the mechanical hum
of my enemy coming up behind me
as i dive off the bluff
i hear the ruff
stop of the atvs
as i stare in disgust
at the blackened sun

streets of hate

Why is man a killer?
is he born to kill?
Are you designed to hate?
that is a classic debate
Can we all learn?
this is the answer for which i yearn
walking the streets of hate
i fear we are to late
because you can't call a woman mother
or a man brother
Why?
Are we all tools in some impartial design?
because without vengence we'd all be fine
War and hate are inventions of man
and because of that i'm kicking a can
walking the streets of hate
my one true freind is my pet dog
who i talk to while we walk across a bog
for animals are nature in its purest form
and though they seem forlorn
we don't all walk a street of hate.
peace

under the knife

Three days ago i went under
three days ago the blunder
as the routine went from bad to worse
and all i could do was silently curse
as the doctor stared in awe
at the gaping maw
as many a nurse ran into the room
and watch my blood pressure zoom
now I'm awakeunable to take
the pain away
and i wonder
am i alive?or dead

inspired by my cousin

the junkyard

Have you ever wondered what happens when things are broken
probably not
heres something to think about
the sun silently beats
on a fleet
of broken cars
and shattered stars
discarded like the rappers off old mars bars
enter the junkyard
where new games are born
and old ones die
this is our choice of living
this is our
junkyard
so think about that next time you lose something
why not?

dark alleys and flaming monkeys

Its dark out this time of year
so lend an ear
in the deep alleyways of the city
people meet, greet and sleep
because not everyone is rich
yes there are poor people in this quiete little niche
and though their clothes are torn and bleached
they don't like to preach
about those dark alleyways and flaming monkeys
yes monkeys
like a gorillas
when they see tortillas
they fight for it
like people without a soul
they fight to survive in a world where each day is a struggle
in a world of dark alleys
and flaming monkeys

Inner Fire

Up against a cliff caught in a briar
i finnaly see what brings out
my inner fire
as i recallrecent events
that started as we pitched tents
a few short days ago
i the dawn's light
i witnessed a fight
on the bank of a hill
my freinds fought for their life
against a bear
and i ran at the beast
and my blow didn't hurt it in the least
but it distracted it long enough
for it to hurl me over the bluff
and light my inner fire
and now i climb up the cliff
while the wind drifts
and i climb up into the brambles
to see my camp in shambles
and my freinds standing wounded but victorious
around the dieing bear

Time out of Place

As i walk trough the land
through valley and sand
i begin to understand
that this is a time out of place
below me is a terrible meele
tooth and claw clash as animals fight
in this time out of place
elephants fight mamoths
lions fight tigers
cats fight dogs
wolves fight bobcats
and the dawn glows red over the time
out of place
and as the fight enters the night
a fearsome shadow is cast over the valley like
some dark alley,
and a dragon of tremendous size takes to the skies
and rains fire and death on the brawl
Now i understand
these animals are just like us
we fight each other until some greater power
wipes us out
in this time out of place...
think about it

Dare-Devil's Paradise

Dare-Devil's Paradise
High on a cliff
playing a riff
the Dare-Devil stands
surrounded by his band
and as he leaps from his perch
i feel my stomach lurch
as he dives through the air
and prepares
for this Dare-Devils Paradise
as he pulls a cord
his paraschute soars as he lands in a ford
on a river
and what surounds him
is a Dare-Devils paradise
now isn't that vice?

Set In Stone

set in stone
Opening my mind
i hear the grind
of words being set in stone
and i realize,
i'm not alone
I step up from the rime
and wipe away the grime
as i turn to face
the person with the grace
to set things in stone
in front of me is an old man
clothed in the robes of some old clan
and as he sets in the stone
the destiny of my freinds and family
NO!
you can't set that in stone
for we alone have the power to change our fate
and it isn't to late
to be great

another shot

another shot
rising out of the shadows
is a new spokesman for excellencey
You
You've been down on the ground
listening to the pound
of others art
and you have shopped at a bargain mart
but now
you have
another shot
and you are not content to rot
as others profess to sick
but they are nothing but ticks
because you
have another shot

the evils of man

Evils of man

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wonder,
How?
When your life takes a twist there’s no time to ponder
So you take action
No matter what the re-action
Because when the chips are down you see a fraction
Of the evils of man
Never give up
For like a pup
You will grow up to defeat
The evils of man,
And all over the land
Through overwhelming demand
You will suceed, despite
The evils of man
