Little Sam
Little Sam
I am so glad that we
Get along just fine
Also we have the same
Interests
That is a good thing
Little Sam
Are you also a Christian like me
From birth to adulthood
I am dying to know
Also do you pray to God
The same way I do
Every single night
Before you go bed
Yes I do
But I am not a Christian
Little Sam
I enjoy going out with you
Today we spend our day
Together at the Eaton Centre
We walk inside the mall
While it snow outside
Also we had our healthy lunch
I am so glad that we
Get along just fine
Also we have the same
Interests
That is a good thing
Little Sam
Are you also a Christian like me
From birth to adulthood
I am dying to know
Also do you pray to God
The same way I do
Every single night
Before you go bed
Yes I do
But I am not a Christian
Little Sam
I enjoy going out with you
Today we spend our day
Together at the Eaton Centre
We walk inside the mall
While it snow outside
Also we had our healthy lunch

The Puppeteers' Play
They share the world as if it was their own
Carving borders into flesh and stone
A puppet-show with power strings
While we dance to the songs their greed still sings
Bomb Iraq; and we’ll pay you with gold
Arms in their hands; but the truth stays cold
Blood spills cheap when the market’s right
And war is just business wrapped up tight
Israel rains fire; Gaza is dust
Children in graves; their names lost to rust
Peace is a myth; when profits are high
When nations decide who should live or die
The U.S....
Carving borders into flesh and stone

While we dance to the songs their greed still sings

Arms in their hands; but the truth stays cold
Blood spills cheap when the market’s right
And war is just business wrapped up tight
Israel rains fire; Gaza is dust
Children in graves; their names lost to rust
Peace is a myth; when profits are high
When nations decide who should live or die

The Machine Is Broken
the machine is broken its gears run on hush
fed by the hands that we once learned to trust
it speaks of reform it whispers of change
but power and greed always end up the same
it fattens on taxes it feasts on the weak
it builds up the castles where so few eat
it tells us we matter it begs for our grace
then steals in the dark with a mask on its face
they call it progress they call it fair
but power is hungry it will never share
the votes keep it turning the lies keep it strong
while the people who built it keep...

Devolution
Idiots have merged with neo-nazis
to make this world an uglier place
spawning a planet of...idiotzis
with overpriced egg on each beef-wit face;
faces that turn their noses up at books
since the time that they save with every ban
they can spend kissing the ass of the crooks
who kiss the ass of the crook with the tan,
all to enable a future of hate,
where forward pay is all a game of blame
which...NEVER...has been a romantic trait
but only a counterproductive aim
that leads to the puniest short term gain,
of...

Every hour
Every hour
I am thinking of you
My father
You blessed me
With a nice weather
It is finally sunny today
Thanks God Father
We had already lots of rainy days
During the summer
So father you cooled the earth already
For us
We must tell you that we love the sunny days
We are having a mild summer
I am thinking of you
My father
You blessed me
With a nice weather
It is finally sunny today
Thanks God Father
We had already lots of rainy days
During the summer
So father you cooled the earth already
For us
We must tell you that we love the sunny days
We are having a mild summer

Rattle Snake's Kiss
Can you hear the sound of the world?
As it destroys itself
As it rebuilds itself
As it collapses under
Birdsong petroleum machines
Can you hear the engines?
Screaming downward
Towards an unfathomable abyss
You’ve heard it before
And it left you in pain
It is painful to know
The painkiller is ignorance
Denial, stupidity, and hate.
Media manufactured hate
Bubbling beneath the flesh
Every breath simmering
Coiled ready to pounce
Upon somebody different to you
It is painful to...
As it destroys itself
As it rebuilds itself
As it collapses under
Birdsong petroleum machines
Can you hear the engines?
Screaming downward
Towards an unfathomable abyss
You’ve heard it before
And it left you in pain
It is painful to know
The painkiller is ignorance
Denial, stupidity, and hate.
Media manufactured hate
Bubbling beneath the flesh
Every breath simmering
Coiled ready to pounce
Upon somebody different to you
It is painful to...

Tropical Paradises
The aboriginal
is naked…
Ah! Oh!
We can see it
from north to south.
We can go around it
in a deep blue sky.
Devour his flesh
with gluttony.
cannibalize it!
cannibalize it!
Let's be quiet
let's do silence
with a full mouth of
the aboriginal's nudity
and our sour grapes.
Let's canibalize!
is naked…
Ah! Oh!
We can see it
from north to south.
We can go around it
in a deep blue sky.
Devour his flesh
with gluttony.
cannibalize it!
cannibalize it!
Let's be quiet
let's do silence
with a full mouth of
the aboriginal's nudity
and our sour grapes.
Let's canibalize!

I am working my way back to you Father
I am working my way back to you Father
I am very sorry for all my bad behavior
But I was frustrated
With the poems I was writing for you
Because I was stuck
Writing poems for you
I started writing some poems for you
But I couldn't get right
So I had to erased it and started again
A few times
Because I wasn't satisfied with
The way it was coming out
Maybe I need to put my brain to rest
And start to vent a little
All day today
I am very sorry for all my bad behavior
But I was frustrated
With the poems I was writing for you
Because I was stuck
Writing poems for you
I started writing some poems for you
But I couldn't get right
So I had to erased it and started again
A few times
Because I wasn't satisfied with
The way it was coming out
Maybe I need to put my brain to rest
And start to vent a little

Only myself
Only myself
Living in one bedroom
Apartment
Here in Toronto
That is all I need
Now the phone is ringing
Non stop
I will not bother to answer
Because it is late already
I have no Idea
Who is the craziest person
That is calling me
At this late hour
I am still praying for my Father
At the late hours of the
Night
Now is time to take my
Medication
I can't take my medication
On an empty stomach
I need to take with food
Now I am having some
Popcorn
That was microwaved
Yes I am...

demo crew on standby
grandpa was a master builder
building with an eye for expansion
for growth & adaptation
to support many generations
none of those short-sighted greed-blinded mansions
20 rooms for one dude
he was a man for every season
& I paid attention
as current events expose a rotten foundation
I'm reminded of his philosophy
when the integrity of a structure
is no longer sound
tear it down
don't leave it standing
causing further dangers
pay attention to the issues
& don't repeat them
construct it...

His Pet Antelope
Valentines Day Massacre cumming all over your pie
In the form of a girl with pins through her eyes
She came from the south with a dimes worth of gas
Money on her mind and some dope shoved up her ass
Outside of Memphis her car was broken down
She shot a white cracker in the head, immediately left town
She was a Jehovah's witness before she gave him head
She was selling on the street, her funky hair was red
She shat in his mouth, and threw him on the bed
That's when she cut off his balls and glued them on his head
She stole his car, which...
