Who Amongst Us Then Will Be Left to Cheer and Dance?

...this leaf is not of Maple.
Nor is this Pine like the Oak!
Mesquite does not smell like Birch at all!
Why is 'that' grass Bermuda?
Or a Tulip not a Rose?
I've never seen a Walrus do a backstroke!
If I scream and attempted to choke it,
Would an Elephant beam that I provoked it?
And 'why' can't chickens swim?
Do swans, pigeons and ducks...
Want to be like them?
Are they upset by a Lion's roar?
Like the time I got irritated,
When I heard my EX-wife loudly snore?
And I wanted to get up from the bed...
Get dressed and walk out the door!
I could not sleep nor endure that anymore!
What am I exploring here?
And 'why'?
And...what for?

Kamikaze Teenage Boy - A High School Massacre

His life was built with a self destruct switch
That's been awakened through constant abuse
Every moment is a cage that's been eating him with rage
Words cannot not delay, what doctors call a phase
When he's sick of being looked as a reject from a zoo
And everyone's compassion is introverted bruised

His role on the stage has been of the fool
A knave played puppet, to everyone's strings
But soon the role will be revoked
And his mission will be provoked
Letting him fly in delusions sweet sorrow
When he wipes the slate clean in the classroom tomorrow

No college, career, or girl time play fun
No mortgage hangovers, or warrior weekends
No plans to make copies with his 23 chromosomes
Before he retires from this office managed planet
A mummified nation drove him into permanent cremation
Its vacation from existence; a date with mass extinction

First Yellow Leaves On The Black Walnut Trees

First yellow leaves on the black walnut trees.
The original digits on the wristwatch of the sun.
Waterproof to any depth you want to drown in.
The trees are homesick.
You can tell by the way they’re giving up.
Comes the season of the dead in harvest time.
The dark abundance of the light
inspired by the muse of the earth
to write poetry
that touchs everyone
like water and wine
whether the apples are gathered or not.
The mystic grape finds enlightenment
in the mouth of a human
when it breaks like a koan
that tastes of something older than the truth.
It’s good to walk through an open field by yourself
as if home were just over the next hill
as the night comes on.
It’s good to feel fulfilled

There You Are

Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put them in my hand
I've been up and down for you
My suffering extreme
I fell on my face for you
Now I know what it means
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there

There you are

Yeah you can run out west

Race Of Doom

Race of doom
Is it on
Is it off
Reply
Its a matter of time
Its a matter of luck
Its a factor of chance
til I self-destruct
You fire at random
Im under attack
Strapped in and freewheeling
Flying off the track
I want to be your time bomb
Let me be your time bomb baby
I want to be your time bomb
Please let me be your time bomb baby
Everywhere there is danger
Absolutely for real
Subliminal feelings
Too strong to conceal

Iron Head

What is the purpose
Demonoid phenomenon
Regulate the flux and reflux
So bring it on
Loose upon the world
Destruct a juggernaut
Suddenly the rats are high
Bleed the masses and watchem cry
Slumber like houdinis dog
Die alone out in the fog
Iron head- regenerate
Iron head-exterminate
Iron head-liberate and crucify you
What is my name
Demonoid phenomenon
Laugh in your face and
Break because you dont belong
Vent apon the brink
Appear another demi-god
Suddenly forever knows

N. Y. Stars

The stock is empty
In our eyeball store
All we got left
A few cataracts and sores
The faggot mimic machine
Never had ideas
Mission impossible
They self destruct on fear
On a standard new york night
Ghouls go to see their so called stars
A fairly stupid thing
To pay 5 bucks for a 4th rate imitators
They say, Im so empty
No surface, no depth
Oh, please, can I be you
Your personalitys so great
Like new buildings
Square tall and the same
Sorry, miss stupid
Didnt you know it was a game

Its Been A Summer

Its been a summer
Im cracked from my head down to my spine
Ready to self destruct
At any time
And Im trying to convince myself that the way Im feeling is all I have
It could take a lifetime
To realize that youre alright
(but you said)
I know when you will come back
Its been a summer
Its burning up in here
Even though the bed is cold on your side
Id rather die than spend this night here without you
(without you)
I would try to fix these flaws of mine
If I could just see you (if I could just see you)
For one more time
And Im trying to convince myself that the way Im felling is all I have
I dont believe it sure fits
Theres pity, but the truth brings:

Hell Bent For Leather

Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when hell appear
All await, engines ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! a glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! from a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadowcrimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! crash one by one to the ground
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Theres many who tried to prove that theyre faster
But they didnt last and they died as they tried
Theres many who tried to prove that theyre faster
But they didnt last and they died as they tried
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
