jesus christ, may27, street jelly

jesus christ
save you for half the price
while soldiers roll the dice
he sadly wipes the blood and tears from his eyes
these humans won't survive
your son is coming home tonight

lennon's dead
and me walk who will defend
chapman until the death
satan and a legal system lying in bed
washington receiving head
or is this time the devil giving instead?

marilyn
begs jack to put it in
she revels in her sins
she knows the president is fast but he's good
hooray for hollywood
and she would scream if she could

jfk
3 lives blown away
november skies are grey
his pretty wife and kids are hustled away
to see another tragic day
images carved in stone again

howard stern utters the final word
while morning coffee burns
we sadly lie awake and laugh till it hurts
will we ever learn?
or is this place just to absurd?

i'm in love
but like you i've had enough
run over by a truck
false dreams, like water
are burning up in the sun
my hearts beating like a drum
and we have only just begun

jesus christ
thanks for the sacrifice
but was it worth the price?
dumb songs like this blindly invoke your name
to validate some stupid claim
let's pretend your death was not in vain

ain't it passing strange?

darlin fool : may 17

Darlin’ Fool

All the times we'd look around big search through a bastard town –

 no dreams or drinks for money no time to roll away the stone –

 all the rhymes we'd toss around sing your songs and laugh it down –

was there ever a chance that we would back away from the fall?

too many lights, I can't see, too many ways to kill this devil in me –

 I once had the spirit but that was long ago –

Darlin' Fool, took me forever to believe in you,

we look forever for a love that's true –

give me the word and i will die for you –

I love you, give you a love that you will never lose,

and I will never turn my back on you –

give me a chance and I will see it through...my darlin' fool –

stop this bloody free for all - there are no more heroes within these walls - protect your loved ones from the call of animals and sin –

I remember when I first saw your face, the world allows you just one taste –

 leads you on a hopeless chase for the rest of your days... –

 too many lights, I can't see, too many ways to kill this devil in me –

I once had the spirit, it's a fading memory-

I wish that we could just fall asleep – cool pillows and a summer breeze –

 endless dreams, forever free from this reality –

feed your star, anticipate a pistol shot a little late

we're nothing but a fisher's bait been cast into the sea

too many lights, I can't see, too many ways to kill this devil in me –

I once had the spirit it wasn't meant to be – 

sleep to sleep : may 17

Sleep to sleep
through a spine picked clean
to a skull with hair
with nothing in between

the Night to night
on whitened teeth
Sewn into the cloth of memory

with all of our agents underground
there must be news someway somehow

this ghost of heaven have ascended
into the night
fallen angels, and evil labels
tricked for the flight

Blue smoke from a flap of wings.
On the walls of the christening

i know....i know....

Outside fakir fireflies
rose to the sky
inside tiger appetites
ready to the bite

all who come into this world
will lift the veil, unfurl the curtain

i know...i know....

sleep to sleep
dream to dream
all is light
with nothing in between

raise the sails
trim the heat
we'll go on
to where nobodys ever been

let's be ready for the show
let's get there - somewhere somehow
i know...i know....

endless walks
on endless streets
two right hands
and two left feet

outside ourselves
we're coming clean
and then there's this
death in the morning

raise your voice above the crown
raise your arms above the clouds
i know...i know....

if you're cold
if you're lost
if you're whipped
and nailed to a cross

she just flies
into the night
like all good children
that put up a fight

it's a place where we can go
face the sun, face the snow
i know.....i know...

fightin against the hillibillys - may 17

fighting for the hillbillys

we feel it ain't the same when the west wind comes round

these girls they play their games when the rest of the worlds gone to ground

with these paper cowboy hats and their artificial glow

we'll wait for the next time out, then we'll hit the road

same day, same way, up again, fightin for the hillbillys

each day, i'm afraid, i'm again, fighting for the hillbillys

same place, same face, same taste, fighting for the hillbillys

same day, same way, up again, fightin for the hillbillys

fightin for the hillbillys

we stole coins from the parking meters food from the resturants

we took the change from the ice cream man  magazines from the local mart

and if you waste your last cigarette on a trip to the shopping mall

then don't complain to the voices that stomp and scream and yell

these days don't seem so loose as the airport parking lots

where we guaranteed our coins and paved the streets with plates and pots

now she works on the southern shore, and she shades her eyes at night

and she keeps her back to the door and she reads by candlelight

two plus two : may 17

emily : may 17

settle down - 5/17

looking high, looking low
for a slice of life
a little bite of life
a place to lay me down the fight

packing up for another day
pack all you hopes and childhood dreams away
take a trip on a moscow train tonight

got a call from a long lost friend
so sure i' d never hear that voice again
for some crazy reason we went our separate ways

those fantastic memories in our mind
cannot strip away clocks ticking all the time
i'm sorry john but there's not that much to say

except...oh lord won't you help me?
lord won't you help me?
oh lord, won't you help me to settle down, settle down.

and it get's so hard trying not to cry
i can't understand it when people down
you just sit and hide until someone, anyone
turns on the light

the johnsons are in town : may 17

it happens : may17

unlucky

 "she dreams of dives and dives in dreams"

poet unknown


===========================

i'm so lucky in love
lucky in love
lucky in love
i'm unlucky in life

i'll raise the shadow boxing haze, it looks away
i feel your weather beaten eyes
she dream of finer things
fantastic turns of phrase
the arch-angels sing on high
boy....you're unlucky in life

ain't it a shame that you can't blame this all on me
it's so much easier to cry
when all the superficial signs get buried deep
beneath the sands that fill your mind
girl....you're unlucky in life

the plays on the checkerboard are getting might tight
her movements serve to mystify
i will lay a claim to what remains of yesterday
and won't even wonder why
i'm so unlucky in life

she shakes an alabaster finger in my face
stains me yellow with the crime
we run on red and white, on comedy and taste
waves an empty can of wine
(count the days and count the nights...)
you are unlucky....

swept away / may 13

41: Swept Away

There is something in my eyes
I measure every grief I meet
With clocks and spoons and devils feet

With narrow probing eyes
I wonder if it weighs as much as mine
Or is a smaller size

God is growing up above
For those of us who pray
But you could look forever
and never see his face
we are swept away
swept away

I wonder if I can
Wonder if I’ll ever hear replies
If I’ll ever get it right

I’ll play my rival hand
Cover up the visions of the son
And my life a loaded gun

My faith is larger than
The hills, so when the hills decay
A wheel must show the sun the way

This is my silent end
Graceful and mechanical and cold
We watch the times unfold

Frozen (poem by audrey chai gang)

  (em-am-c-g)

Frozen young men on ice without fire

Have taken over our world

We knowing no better have become cold also

The frozen generation

Afraid of themselves and each other

Have glass eyes, Battery run steel hearts

And hands that reach out and clasp

Auto-magically,  Professional Removalists

We are the frozen generation

Artists at escape,  Endure no pain

Know how to shut off,  And how to turn on

Such are the tools used for survival

We, the frozen generation

We are the frozen generation

Have numbed our brains into lethal corrosion

We are robots trained to turn on

Thru music, smoking, doping, and off each other

Water does not come from glass eyes

We are the frozen generation

Emotion cannot exist in steel

Automation has no warmth, I am ice also

When my ice melts I am in pain

Need help from others whose ice is melting

We are the frozen generation
