Love me Father
Love me Father
For everything I do for you
Monday's are the day
That I wash your people's feet
Every Tuesday
We do a feast for Father's people
In the morning
I go fishing for fish together with
My Father
Then we needed to clean the fish
It is a horrible job to do
But it has to be than
Then we will barbecue the fish
God's people arrive at noon
For the feast
My father offer the fish with
A dinner roll
And to drink he gives
A nice bottle of cold wine
At 2:00PM my Father's People
Finish eating...
For everything I do for you
Monday's are the day
That I wash your people's feet
Every Tuesday
We do a feast for Father's people
In the morning
I go fishing for fish together with
My Father
Then we needed to clean the fish
It is a horrible job to do
But it has to be than
Then we will barbecue the fish
God's people arrive at noon
For the feast
My father offer the fish with
A dinner roll
And to drink he gives
A nice bottle of cold wine
At 2:00PM my Father's People
Finish eating...

Damaged with a Soft Heart
Damaged with a soft heart
If you said you would come
Back to me down on my knees
Kisses to heaven and I’m restored
Been a ghost hangin round the periphery
No soul in my heart til you come back to me
Im ephemeral just a mist
I slip in and out of darkness
Tryin to access madness I’m livin in
Know I can fill the part
But I’m really damaged with a soft heart
But if I heard a little bird say that
You would come back to me
I could come back around and
Show my true heart the heart you...
If you said you would come
Back to me down on my knees
Kisses to heaven and I’m restored
Been a ghost hangin round the periphery
No soul in my heart til you come back to me
Im ephemeral just a mist
I slip in and out of darkness
Tryin to access madness I’m livin in
Know I can fill the part
But I’m really damaged with a soft heart
But if I heard a little bird say that
You would come back to me
I could come back around and
Show my true heart the heart you...

Zealot_
My friend the Zealot
shot me with a pellet
angry as I didn't bow my head just right
during this implosion
and the batteries corrosion
we couldn't read the gospel
cause hell I didn't have the light
so I asked the pastor
after this disaster
how do you get the cathedral to shine so bright
he looked me in the eye
said it would be fine
a tithe they would collect
to commit...

Excerpt from my diary: I keep blaming it on my diagnoses
Other people seem so strong to me until I don’t handle them properly and with care and they shatter into little bits everywhere and I’m constantly stepping on the shards and making my feet bleed.
I am trying to absorb the loneliness as a positive thing, for my own benefit, as a lesson but I don’t want to or can’t absorb it maybe because there’s nowhere for it to go but inside of me or on paper

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
Skeletons in the closet.
What truth do I hide?
I might share, I might be honest..
Telling you my dark secrets isn't wise
"Just let them be in the dark"
Never expose...
If I do, it could be at a park
Secluded and what else, who knows?
If I tell you my tainted secret!....
Then you could regret it...
Why?
Cause with you it wouldn't be the same,
Things would change and maybe be some pain.
But don't you worry...
Things aren't that way...
No damage done, no bad story...
Just...

dove of peace
The dove of peace
A white dove landed on his windowsill
plucked a feather of its plumage and flew off
He opened the window, picked up
the white feather wondered whom he had
betrayed with his silence
Looked into the fathomless gulch of his
consciousness and petrified bones of what
he should have done but failed to do
the many he should have called but didn't
because it was late in the night
The phone in the hall, cobwebbed by neglect
he lifted the receiver, heard the hum
of eternity and what had...

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...

Creators Guilt
I cannot recall the way the air tasted that day,
A suffocating reality that twists through my veins.
I cannot recall the way it smelled,
So long ago the night looks almost like day.
I’m supposed to remember.
To sit in my shame and guilt.
But I cannot remember,
I cannot recall.
I’m supposed to hurt,
That’s how I know it meant something;
But I can only tip my head back,
And swallow.
Forgive me;
I cannot be sorry.
Alone again, at least until the fall,
A...

Watermelon Moonshine
Watermelon Moonshine......
Fuck everything.
The hell with your lies.
And how you use to say you loved me.
You fucked with my mind.
Behind bars you never replied.
So this how I get by,
Writing songs and sippin on Watermelon Moonshine.....
It's been months since I've felt your touch.
I try to hold on but there ain't much.
I've been to war and that's better than this.
Fuck you, you heartless damn bitch.
Fuck how we met that night.
To the last time you yelled and tried to start a fight.
I tip this manson jar up to the moon...
Fuck everything.
The hell with your lies.
And how you use to say you loved me.
You fucked with my mind.
Behind bars you never replied.
So this how I get by,
Writing songs and sippin on Watermelon Moonshine.....
It's been months since I've felt your touch.
I try to hold on but there ain't much.
I've been to war and that's better than this.
Fuck you, you heartless damn bitch.
Fuck how we met that night.
To the last time you yelled and tried to start a fight.
I tip this manson jar up to the moon...

Prison Scene: Darryl Talking to William
"I should have been killed a long time ago. My life shouldn't be spared like this. I shouldn't be living right now," I said, referring to my report to the police, turning myself in.
"You did the right thing. Turning yourself in was the right thing."
"No!" I slammed my fist down. "I should have let the family torture me, but I was a coward. I was a coward... I just don't know. Looking back, I just think to myself, 'What the hell happened?' I shouldn't have let it escalate this far. Why did God have my life spared when I didn't deserve...
