Brutally Honest
Brutally honest
Brutally honest
Blue eyes and blond hair
Sits and listens
To Dad butcher some great songs
Sitting on a panel of one
Judge and jury
Verdict in
Sentence Down
Doesn’t worry about feelings
Says daddy this really sucks
Maybe Breakers can be a song
A tennis ball
In a fire pit of my soul
Playing some bad guitar
Or fractured fairy tales
Being 16 in a 60 year old body
Isn’t easy on my bones
Chasing youth in the solar light
Losing a pickle...

Breaking Bad
35 56
Br & Ba
Chemistry it’s elemental
Don’t want to break bad
But it’s in the element
35 G’s from Tuco
How can you do this deal
An insane ass clown
Now we’re in bed with him
2 pounds a week
For this dead eye killer
Maybe the meth fairies
And the smurfs can get enough
Walt gets physical
And skylar’s panties come down
In the back seat of an ugly car
Breaking isn’t so bad
Terminal is what he is
Cancerous to all around him
WW…is an evil man and
Jesse can’t figure...

Dad’s Tool Closet (4/3/1987)
Dad’s tool closet (4/3/1987)
Hear whistling down the basement
Calls me like a preacher to church
She said I hum all day long
That’s where I get it from
Stumble down in a hurry know
My time with him is limited
So I try to make the most of it
He’s whistling while he putters on
Behind a big wooden door sits
Land of wonder for me to explore
Tools and Nicholson’s file where
He used to work
But the door seemed like a key
To figuring out daddy’s soul
Pretty much the only time we connected ...

And You and I
And you and I
And you and I we set across this life together
And you and I we’ll sail the seas of us forever
And you and I we will settle down in the cold
And you and I will keep each other warm
And you and I will rise to the sunshine of our love
And you and I will make breakfast get us ready for the grueling day
And you and I will think of each other when we’re not thinking
And you and I will be Jane and Tarzan in the trees
And you and I will ride out any tough times
Even the ones that...

Poetry Before Beat
Poetry before beat
Two things like Peanut butter n Jelly
Words so soulful
Rhythm and paper
Who do you want to be
Seems so simple
Rock star or at a Slam session
Banging on bongos
Or delivering a sermon
Butterfly on the surface
Of a train of rhythm
Dancing above
Below the deep wave
Downpicking like Hetfield
Spittin like Dylan
Spit the lyric
Lay down line
Poetry in commotion
Can’t find the beat
Coffee in the morning
Read the news
Thoughts forming ...

New Hillbilly Elegy
Let me write a new hillbilly elegy
Found on corruption and corporate greed
So J D is an Appalachian but he lives on elite air
His running mate makes P T Barnum look like he’s playing a kids game
Billions scream I don’t have enough money
What will America look like after the Election
I don’t know but I have clues
If your White Anglo Saxon welcome to the big tent
If you don’t look like one of us you should know
There is pain a coming
In Board Rooms glasses spill champagne
A roar goes...

Two years in (Uvalde)
One year in (Uvalde)
Celebrate mass shooting
Flowers litter the scene
Little souls that are headless
Deep in the heart of Texas
Can’t believe that it’s been a year
Cowards in blue on their phone
400 hundred strong
Fiddling and diddling
In the hall while inside
He’s slaying little ones
One fucked up punk with an AR
Makes these so called heroes
Cower in the hall
Never pulled the trigger until
He was unleashed on little lambs
Trying to learn in the classroom

Guns vs God (who you got)
Guns vs God who you got
Seems so simple keep killing machines
Out of society…walk right in
Come out armed to the teeth
Didn’t know I just lost my job
My identity
So he rings me up sends me on the way
Plot my revenge I’ll die in the end
But here’s where lives intersect
Demon on one shoulder
Other an AR
Scream to save unborn
Once they’re here they’re on their own
Sit in a pew and stew about fake righteousness
Little ones led to slaughter
Behind the guise of teaching principles
...

Idea Alcohol
Idea alcohol
Sip some of this
Let your dreams run real
Step away go cold turkey
Feels so good in yer bones
But my mind is full of blanks
Know what I have to do
Creep back in the bottle
Gives me thoughts deep down
The solution is idea alcohol
What to do I’ve got kids too
Should stay away from Taylor’s Port
But my dreams die from a withering vine
Go in kiss the leprechaun
Just enough for a song to come out
The idea is alcohol but the seeds form from
A brain with a...

Silence in the Din
Silence in the Din
Hear chattering in the distance
Birds chirping what are they sayin
Feels like a need to share their bare souls
People walk by on a call
Everyone is so important
Sit in the corner feeling the rhythm
Any party or social call must have a beat
That’s when they need me
Mister Dj drop a beat or something sweet
Got no time for being social
Courses through my veins so I dip back in
Feel ike a tourist watching the soulless
Too real to be understood
Wear it on my sleeve while...

Put Down the Gat
Put down the gat
I’m sick of this shit
Wake up and wonder if my kids are ok
Not like they’re fighting for our country
Or policing their territory
Jesus fucking Christ they’re our future
Tryin to learn the basics of life
How many more thoughts and prayers
Should we suffer till we say
This shouldn’t be the new normal
Metal detectors and shelter in place
Dont solve anything when the perp
Has more fire than the police
Ar 15 or ak47 weapon of war
Gotta ban that shit
Did it for 10 yrs and mass shootings ...

Single Momma
What about the single momma
Sitting and watching her bird sing
Or a fine fella protecting baby
Stand in the crowd disconnected
Family struts and shouts
Lone stars in the distance
Not feeling part of the team
Pass the baton and step on
To the real existence
Of solitary confinement
She runs through he falls behind
Watching leaves in the breeze
Goes home to no one
In her head
He stays and folds the chair
Picks up his loneliness
As he puts her to bed
Two lost...

Watching leaves in the breeze
Goes home to no one
