Off The Tracks
Pawned away your brain to ride the train
You gambled away all of your money
Your need for speed is like a stampede
But when you speak you sound kind of funny
Maybe the poison you love to drink
Blurs the words from all your books
You pant and rant the same spiteful chant
And yet you can’t see how bad it looks
There’s must be something else afoot
Staggering and lingering in the dark
Check your vitals before you spiral further
There where the evil needle left a mark
You’re speeding down the mountain
When the rails...
You gambled away all of your money
Your need for speed is like a stampede
But when you speak you sound kind of funny
Maybe the poison you love to drink
Blurs the words from all your books
You pant and rant the same spiteful chant
And yet you can’t see how bad it looks
There’s must be something else afoot
Staggering and lingering in the dark
Check your vitals before you spiral further
There where the evil needle left a mark
You’re speeding down the mountain
When the rails...

Better Days Ahead
It feels like there are better days ahead
After the storms we’ve been through
There’s hope rising over in the horizon
As the light begins to shine with truth
We will be prepared someway, somehow
Whenever we face dark and gloomy days
But we also have faith that starting now
We can be a more united human race
It may not happen today or tomorrow
It’s a continuing and improving process
As long as we give a little more respect
We’ll always strive to grow and progress
After the storms we’ve been through
There’s hope rising over in the horizon
As the light begins to shine with truth
We will be prepared someway, somehow
Whenever we face dark and gloomy days
But we also have faith that starting now
We can be a more united human race
It may not happen today or tomorrow
It’s a continuing and improving process
As long as we give a little more respect
We’ll always strive to grow and progress

The Four Year Shitshow and The Great Toilet Paper Shortage: A Review *WARNING*
(An Editorial Commentary with Walter’s Alter Ego…
…Wally, sit your brown ass down and let me address this now
Dear reader, this is an EXTREME CONTENT WARNING and it’s a bit comic
So if you have a sensitive stomach or a vivid imagination
The sick shit I’m about to spit, it might just make you vomit
Got Damn that presidency was a complete and total clusterfuck
That administration was a revolving door for a four-year full on orgy
A bunch in that political party got rawdogged and cummed on
Those motherfuckers were so nasty, it even disgusted...

Yearning to Write
Here
Sitting on the floor
Legs criss-cross
For a second it all feels like a memory
A perfect weaving of kinetic harmony
Remembering a time never lived and only longed
The notes and chords resonate like words
From the soul
An extension of the self through fingers
Like aural brush strokes on ivory
Each one painting vivid tones
Vibrating
Awakening the senses
I’ve been here before
In love
Yearning to write and muse
The moods
The timbres and the hues
Each one calling me back
To an era...

Red, Blue and White
When red symbolizes passion, anger, danger and fire
Blue signifies cool, wisdom, stability and serenity
One glows hot like war and desire
When red symbolizes passion, anger, danger and fire
It can cause chaos to confuse and conspire
Losing the purpose of identity and integrity
When red symbolizes passion, anger, danger and fire
Blue signifies cool, wisdom, stability and serenity
In the struggle to maintain a true and fair democracy
Some secretly connive to achieve more power
They spread lies to establish an autocracy
In the struggle...

My Love is Kind Of...
My love is kind of funny
You know
The kind that makes you smile early in the morning
The kind that says hi with sighs and sleepy eyes
And few minutes later it’s already churning
My love is kind of witty
You know
The kind when a titty accidentally slips out overnight
And I’m like “well hello there bare breast friend”
And she’s like “don’t you dare start to write”
My love is kind of sensual
You know
The kind when the eyebrows raise up and down to speak
Signaling to let her know exactly what I want ...

Open Arms
Uncle said he spoke with you and joked with you
That you were in great spirits these last few days
He said you didn’t suffer much or maybe not at all
But it sounds like you were in spiritual grace
Too much time and distance passed between us
Ever since those days at the old family farm
But all I can say is rest in peace grandmama
I’m sure dad welcomed you with open arms
That you were in great spirits these last few days
He said you didn’t suffer much or maybe not at all
But it sounds like you were in spiritual grace
Too much time and distance passed between us
Ever since those days at the old family farm
But all I can say is rest in peace grandmama
I’m sure dad welcomed you with open arms

Common Sense and Consequence
Maybe the whole lot of you didn’t really think this through
You thought you would have some fun storming the castle
This is isn’t a movie, what did you think would ensue?
Now the repercussions are going to be a real hassle
So you went on the offense riled up acting all intense
It’s just that bird brains don’t have critical thinking skills
There’s a consequence when you lack the common sense
This revolutionary talk was giving you some cheap thrills
You were conned into doing someone else’s dirty work
Yet still you defend it or are simply...
You thought you would have some fun storming the castle
This is isn’t a movie, what did you think would ensue?
Now the repercussions are going to be a real hassle
So you went on the offense riled up acting all intense
It’s just that bird brains don’t have critical thinking skills
There’s a consequence when you lack the common sense

Irony
I find irony in witnessing:
A public safety vehicle getting into a car crash
It may be kind of wry, but it happens in a flash
Or a criminal, video recording his own crime
And then like a dumbass boast about it online
Life tends to have these little things one can ponder on
Because the universe also has a sense of irony itself
Like a person carrying a “Don’t Tread On Me Flag”
Only then to have the crowd trample her to death
A public safety vehicle getting into a car crash
It may be kind of wry, but it happens in a flash
Or a criminal, video recording his own crime
And then like a dumbass boast about it online
Life tends to have these little things one can ponder on
Because the universe also has a sense of irony itself
Like a person carrying a “Don’t Tread On Me Flag”
Only then to have the crowd trample her to death

MAGGOTS
In the four stages of decomposition
At first you get the initial decay
This is when the cells self-digest
And bacteria begin to proliferate
Once all the liquids have been expelled
Next the body starts to Bloat
Gases accumulate due to bacteria
Like an ego that once used to gloat
And during this marbling stage
Sulfur binds to molecules in the blood
It changes the color of the skin
To an orange tinge like fetid mud
Then come the flies and maggots
Answering the call of death and decay
Feeding on the rotting...

Twisted Tea
Look, I’m not a violent man nor do I really condone violence
But if folks want to go around and insult others, go right ahead
Eventually they’re going to push the wrong (or the right) button
And in this case they got a nice Twisted Tea right to the head
Motherfuckers out here got some nerve disrespecting people
Well then sometimes they get exactly what they deserve
A lesson needs to be taught rather quickly, swiftly and briskly
With a nice ice-cold Twisted Tea, chilled and promptly served
It’s real bullshit the way some grown-ups tend to...

The Rudiments
For Christmas my daughter gave me a practice pad
Along with a pair of drumsticks
Now I can play whenever I feel nostalgic or sad
I just need relearn the old licks
I still remember the rudiments it’s almost ghostlike
As the rhythm echoes audibly
But as soon as I hit the notes it’s like riding a bike
I didn’t forget but I’m just wobbly
With technology and social media I have resources
I can pull up videos and learn
I can retrain my brain with all these online courses
Until my fingers bleed and burn
I’m an old man...
