These Days

Can’t intermingle
Who are my own people
Relate to those who struggle
Forget color, race, or gene pools 

We equal, get swindle
By a few in collusion
Who've been doing the screwing since
Soon after the constitution writ

"Do your due diligence, get you due"
They said, they full of it
That’s restricted
For specific silver spooner kids

Who complain at non consumers
Like we've got something to give
For useless frivolousness
It's true disillusionment

Pay fair wages
Don't just wage war
Doomsday rakes ruins
Man get what you paid for

Societies stay polluted these days.

Flawed by Design

Took a small knee high
Meek-minded naive tyke
Tossed him head 
Over heel over hilt over hide

Never mind, mind over matter
You succeed on their terms
They teach what they learned
Drops out the tree face first

Acorn scorned
Right in s### to harvest
Don’t have to be the smartest
Often discouraged regardless

As long as you can follow orders
No worries, you'll resurface
And further spread the turds
Of the surplus disservice.

Doonoold Troomp

I'm A Menace to Humanity
Man hand me a decree
With a stamp of declaration
I'm the chancellor in chief

I'm the man to see, the man to be
Man I look like a manatee
Mismanaging mankind
to a mammoth degree
 
Man I am king
Of the single greatest nation
All in favor say aye
All opposed may die.

Either way, hey we all may die...

Finish the lyric…

Rocks and Hard Places

I do follow protocol
Until I’m bottomed out
And worse off than before
Tossed off forgot about

Caught in rocks and hard places
Can’t save face like Murdock
I’m the d-team squad
A reserves spot third-opt

More cons then pros
More pain than joy
Now my whole brain void
Funked like soul train noise

Finish the lyric….

Talking Tears

If my tears could talk
Maybe they could find the words
Maybe they’ll strike a nerve
With another soul and be heard, the hurt

If yours could talk too
What could I learn?
Underneath the curse of fear
Unworthiness we endure

We could be miracle workers
If we just believe
The love we share with the universe
And all of its beings

The harmony of another
Feel hearts beating free
Because it’s beating in sync
Only an open heart can receive

Anything the heart can conceive
Because all you want is peace
Generosity
Understanding honesty, honestly

If my tears could talk
It’s because of my fear not to speak,
Interwoven with all pain
Only together we break free.

I Know

I know loneliness, Being estranged
Refraining to strange silence, With so much you’d like to say
I know withholding emotions, Though I feel them so immensely
Letting things go, Though I know I struggle feeling empty
I know true pain, Without any physical strain
Yet physical pain, nonetheless, that no stretch alleviates
I know what it’s like laying awake at night
Praying everything may change
I know anger, I know rage, I know guilt, I know shame
I know what it’s like when I don’t know why
I feel a certain way
To go searching for meaning, Knowing I’ll end up back in the same place
I know taking the wrong advice, I know it’s myself to blame
I know medication, I know intoxication
I know filling the wrong prescription, By the wrong consultation
With unwanted results, I know drug addiction, Self infliction
I know slipping up again and again, And I can’t fix it
And I sure as shit know judgement, From people who’ve never lived it
When I ask for help, Knowing I’m worse off for insisting
When I want someone to care, But I’m not worth the commitment
I know my instability, I know what it’s like when no one listens
When I have no place to go, So I end up sitting
At the dock of the bay, Watching the tide drifting
Knowing nothing may come my way, But what’s the difference
Since I know if I had everything now
It won’t replace whatever’s missing.

But I also know love, When I see someone struggle
I know how to shed my own bubble, To show someone comfort
I know compassion and forgiveness, Understanding and assistance
I can give up my strong opinions, To acknowledge someone different
I know when I look at a person, I hope that they’re truly happy
They don’t always have to be, If only when it truly matters to be
I know when it’s someone else’s moment, And they deserve to have it
Because I know when someone is at their best, We become magnets
When we see something magical, I know it when it happens
When we’re no longer individuals, We’ve become bigger than that sense
I know what I know, I know hope is spiritual
There’s music in the air, I know you can hear it too.

Thank you.
