IT IS THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY

It is the dawn of a new day

of the old way.

Mother Earth and Father Sky

will soon destroy the disease that’s smothering her.

This is when the enlightened ones will

begin to roam the Mother again,

Akin to the ways of her breath.

New is not good or better.

Show me something that can endure

and I will cherish it.

Don’t give me senseless comfort

and brainless entertainment.

Pain, struggle, & suffering,

make my walk all the more interesting

Let my mind wander throughout the cosmos,

capture my own cinema

Laid out before closed eyelids.

Make my heart sing

with joy

and with sorrow.

But to the beating of a drum

and the rhythm of a dance

This, is true entertainment.

HEY, MR. DRIFTER,

Hey, Mr. Drifter,

Where you go from

towne to towne

with your hair a mess

& your

clothes, a dress.

Followin’ the music

& walkin’ on the path.

There’s no time to doubt

what you’re doing is right.

Life is one big, long festival

& each towne has a different frown.

But they’re all the same

just the region different,

Goin’ down the road,

Tryin’ to live the life of a Rock n’ Roll song,

Tryin’ to live the life of a Rock n’ Roll song.

Wanted

Known all over the world

Slowly come to realize

My time I spent trying to be wise

Has been my demize.

Demise?

Slowly come to realize

I have opened the world’s eyes.

I must go

Before they take me.

Slowly come to realize

The smoke,

Is no joke

Anymore.

Slowly come to realize

I must do my part

And depart.

Slowly come to realize

No where is safe.

I hope I can find a place...

Slowly come to realize

This is the trend

This is how it will end……..

COUNTDOWN TO THE END

Countdowne to the end.

Can you fathom,

To know when your end is?

Nightmares

Night cries

Anger

Terror

Remorse

The ones who are close to me

No way out

It is a goal that has been set

I prepare

Scared

But I will go

I depart soon

Try to keep subconscious at rest

But it screams

Questions unanswered

Anger

Terror

Remorse
