The World You Want To Own
Alone, on an island, in the middle of the sea
Not a soul around, only person here is me
The world is strange, had to get away
People bullying everyone, just to get their way
You want a nation of people who think just like you?
Toting a Bible, wrapped in red, white, and blue
You want a nation we left in 1955
Before most our nation's citizen were alive
You want subservient women who know their place
And people of color that know their race
Facts and science just get in the way
Ancient dogma is where you want to play ...
Not a soul around, only person here is me
The world is strange, had to get away
People bullying everyone, just to get their way
You want a nation of people who think just like you?
Toting a Bible, wrapped in red, white, and blue
You want a nation we left in 1955
Before most our nation's citizen were alive
You want subservient women who know their place
And people of color that know their race
Facts and science just get in the way
Ancient dogma is where you want to play ...

No Peeking!
To all of you peeking over the wall
There's one comes to mind straight away
No longer will you watch me if I'm to fall
I'm not the same guy as back in "our" day..
The winter has hardened my flesh
The spring has helped me to grow strong
Summer too helped with relighting my soul
Just as autumn kept pushing me along.
Now that I'm finally in full bloom
The fruits of my life are fresh and ripe
It took me a while, I'll admit that
But I had so many years to wipe...
So when I wake up in the morning
When I'm faced with...
There's one comes to mind straight away
No longer will you watch me if I'm to fall

Just as autumn kept pushing me along.
Now that I'm finally in full bloom
The fruits of my life are fresh and ripe
It took me a while, I'll admit that

A Song Contained in Silent Refrain
I do not want to preach to the choir
Nor do I want to preach for the choir
But I do want the chorus to understand
That the music in their collective soul
Also sings within the chambers of mine
No one can own or imprison freedom
Shackles and chains cannot contain the heart
Walls will never impede the breath of Jesus
From cooling the embers of hatred's stain
and
Freedom cannot ring in souls of silence
Nor do I want to preach for the choir
But I do want the chorus to understand
That the music in their collective soul
Also sings within the chambers of mine
No one can own or imprison freedom
Shackles and chains cannot contain the heart
Walls will never impede the breath of Jesus
From cooling the embers of hatred's stain
and
Freedom cannot ring in souls of silence

MORNING SILENCE WHEN IT RISES
As I silently walk across the sand leaving behind my footprints as I walk, aimlessly through the mist of the morning rising over the horizon. I stop to admire this piece of insightful beauty here before my eyes, as I inhale and exhale the freshness of the sea breeze filling my lungs with each stroke of the winds. Yet as I stare into the vision of the dead silence, that the morning silent brings with it comes an awakening feeling. As I become so intoxicated by the very thing that hypnotizes, me the most as it transcends through the stairway and gateways of my thoughts. For it is this kind of...

Dear Leadership
I’m the first to admit that
I’m getting brainwashed, but
I’m also saying that this current
brainwashing is a great
awakening
free love and communes?
what a Bolshevik slogan for
the very young at everything
where are all the bright
lights at night?
storming the capitol is
right or wrong depending
on your politics
you’ve been rejected by
Big Tech and the

View From Our Window
Five floors up and beside the sea,
The view from our flat is magic to me;
To the right is the Firth of Forth;
Across the water; Fife's to the North.
At low tide we see an expanse of sand
Dogs and their walkers find it grand,
Wild swimming is now much more common;
A plunge in cold water, courage to summon.
Paddle boards, kayaks, and dingies abound
Edinburgh's seaside with its fairground,
The promenade bustles even in winter;
Walkers, bicycles and the odd sprinter.

Elephants & Asses
Used to be shackled to the whims & hymns of other stations
Many things weren't adding up, so I changed the equations
Assimilation's a tune I'm no longer willing to hear
I now dance to the beat of my own drum as I steer
Fully aware of the pushback I'll receive if I don't believe
Inherently granted free will and I will not take a reprieve
Four eye see reality in lights previously shadowed
The box in which I use to reside inside is now hollow
No longer can I swallow what's given for consumption
I've awakened from the slumber...

PURVEYORS OF CATACLYSMIC FLAME
The darkness stretched forward across thickening skies
Heavy with frozen laments when weeping Olympians kissed
Vanishing with banishing ravaging wings
In necrotic rhymes during Orpheus' apocalypse
We, the tragic engineers of our own demise
The instrument of eternal destruction and blasphemy
Sacrifice the sacrament paradise advocates
To Luciferian rule designed for godless purity
Progenies of Armageddon reign
In blood lapped from lacerated heavens
Purveyors of cataclysmic flame
Burn the treaties signed in lies
Awaken the...

Water Under the Bridge
Drowned in memories
Breathed in deep
under dark waters
My hands were covered
in the black ink
that burst from your heart
It stained my soul and
I couldn't wash you off my skin
I carried your essence within me
pulling heavy stones from behind
As I waded through muddy waters
Against the currents in my mind
Travelling without moving
Pushing upstream
To put space between you
and my broken dreams
All the things you taught me
And All the things I now know
Led me to believe
You...
Breathed in deep

My hands were covered

that burst from your heart
It stained my soul and
I couldn't wash you off my skin
I carried your essence within me
pulling heavy stones from behind
As I waded through muddy waters
Against the currents in my mind
Travelling without moving
Pushing upstream
To put space between you

All the things you taught me
And All the things I now know
Led me to believe
