PILEDRIVER
Where's the alcohol
Pour shots and hand me a beer
Erase the memory of another dark night
The unexpected is becoming to expected
And the only choice we have is to accept it
Sweating on a cold night
Yelling at a lifeless man
God damn
Say something rude but funny
Get up
You big bad wrestler
The match can't end this quick
What was all the work for
Waste of time
Waste of gas
Spent ten dollars to get here
And ten to get in
Where's my refund
The pain of death
That's life's price...
Pour shots and hand me a beer
Erase the memory of another dark night

And the only choice we have is to accept it
Sweating on a cold night
Yelling at a lifeless man

Get up
You big bad wrestler
The match can't end this quick
What was all the work for
Waste of time
Waste of gas
Spent ten dollars to get here

I Changed To Save You
I would play the blues if I wasn't living so deep in the blues
Atleast give it a try if I still had my guitar
Sold that on eBay at a twenty dollar loss
Never played a note
And the cushions on the couch been lifted so much
I don't bother with them
All over three nickels I found once
They turned out to be plastic
Fake money
Fake people
Fake laughs
Even God gave up
Moved on building a better world
Streets of gold and no temptation to sin
Everyone smiles and everyone is friends
It must be something cause...

The Big C
First day of first grade
Learned the most important thing in my life
It scared me but I didn't the fear show
Nervous and sweating sitting on the bench in the car rider line
At the door before she stops yelling as I get in
MOM MOM I GOT THE COOTIES
She's laughing as I panic
Being over dramatic she says
No not the big C son
It's the cooties mom
In the driveway she turns off the car
Looks at me and explains
Cooties ain't real and girls are not a disease
It's ok to be friends with everybody But just incase I'll give you a...

Pray For Our Kids
Moonless night on the one night I finally talked her into going out
Cancel the late picnic and dancing under the stars
How romantic is sitting in pitch black trying to pour wine out of a box into a styrofoam cup
Slicing my fingers while cutting cheese for wheat thin crackers
Trying to feed her grapes but I'm just smashing them against her face
Bugs biting and we can't see shit
Should've known this is what would happen
Can't remember the last time I moved a step forward
But I have passed the finish three times
Backwards
Down three...

Nothing Like His Father
Somebody give me something
I'm off the wagon
I need alcohol
I need to numb pain and stop time
I need a release for the confusion inside of me
This is a first in my 50 plus years
Losing at records pace
From my view I'm left with a few
Few family members
Few friends
Few nights in the same bed
I need a few shots
Please bring the jack
I need a few doubles
Who knew one drink thirty years ago would lead to this
Shaking from withdrawals
Sweating in a panic cause this fifty cents won't buy shit ...

Room 22 at the Magic Inn
I sit in a dark room
With a twin bed, tv, nightstand , small refidge and microwave
Blankets cover the curtains which hides the blinds that's over the window
Taped up the peep hole
As I Strike a dark green bic
Heat this glass
Gently melt the diamonds
Slowly roll it back and forth
Inhaling till my lungs are full
Exhale
Cool off to crystal up
For 1 more hit
Pissing in a bottle
Cause voices coming from the bathroom
And that sprinkler hides a mic
Footsteps on the roof tell me
The time may...

THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER
Every time I pick up a pen
I think to myself
Please write something worthwhile
Some words that inspire
A piece that's uplifting
Anything that anyone can like without lying
Then I sit staring thoughtless without a clue
Until flashbacks when I was 12
Father drunk again
So we was hiding again
Picked my paper up from the dinner table
To let me know again
Only gays write poetry
He's yelling
That shit is a waste of time
Like your birth was a waste of a life
You can't be my son
We were always...

NO DIFFERENCES NOW
Top shelf of the closest he reaches for a brown paper bag
Sits on the bed and pulls out a chrome handgun
Not sure what kind or who made it
Wasn't important for he needed it for one purpose
With Cargo shorts, green tee shirt and under armor slides on
He stands to see his reflection
This time it's different
No tears are being cried
No doubts run through his mind
Most confidence he's had since the first time he ever missed rent
No worries about who's being left behind
No fear of hell and ain't praying to make it into heaven ...

1 OF WHO KNOWS HOW MANY
I'm the bottom of the pit I allowed myself to fall into
With no rope
What's the point of hope
Free falling part 2
I just need a beat to sing to
I would pray but these days
I'm closer to the devil
Stepson of satin lost in lust to the next one to give it up
Take the shovel and save the world
Bury the evil so the good lives on
Rain helps wash the blood away
Cleans the scene so it's ready for the next
Which we always act surprised by
Add another lock on the door
Gun in our drawer
Turning our home into a...

DEATH IS GREEDY
My kid seen death before it's birth From his mothers stomach to a body bag
Once in awhile I'll pull out his first shirt
Orlando magic Shaq jersey
Tags still hanging from it
Their was no reason why
My first try would be my last try
20 years has went by
No second chance for a offspring
Still no reason why
Look around and see these men running from they child
Fold it and put it away as I think
Death always takes more then 1 life
My father lived16 years after he died
Passing 2016 September 6th
Buried my mom on...

The Family Room
She said follow me
I'll show you to the family room
The family room
I been there before
A couple of chairs
A sink and the lights are kept dim
Plenty of tissue and I think soundproof
The family room
Where the doctor begins with I'm sorry, we did everything we could
As the chaplain stands behind him
Waiting to pray for you
Feeling your breath being took
Pissed and hurt
Yelling in shock out of fear
The family room
The family room
Where some family comforts one another
For others it's...

Strangers voice
I want to change the world
Feed the hungry
Shelter the homeless
Help out by lending a hand
I wanna give kids new shoes
Help pay for their school
Be a big brother
Show them better ways
Push them to achieve
Heal the sick
Love those who need it
I want to buy a wine-o wine
Weed for a pothead
To be able to afford freedom
To save lives of soldiers
Pay for a single mothers groceries
Help everyone in December by paying January's rent
You know how stressing that can get
Provide jackets...
