captain spins the wheel and pilfers a puff

of the cigarette in her brittle hands

takes a lick off the spine of the salty brine

coughs

 

the risks of smoking are serious

to her but what happens to the fag?

Please don't forget to stop by


Cuz I'm running out of time in this town

And please don't forget to ask why


Cuz I've gotta lot to say to this town

Empowering your mind

Success is a must

Empowering our time

Success can be touch

Empowering each other

Success is clear

Empowering single mothers

Success is dear

Empowering our youth

Success is the future

Empowering the truth

Hearing Silence

Eyes wide shut

Mind spinning like a ferrys will

Flat on my back

Spinning off what's real

Silent as can be

Centuries away from misery

While grandma's quilt buries me

I lay comfortablely

I lay somewhere near the city

Near the street lights and sin in the city

Muted by turmoil but deaf to all

Ears listening while silent sounds fall

Winter and the Unfolding
Where with the cold
Before the ground surface overly freezes
When the cannibalistic things find themselves
Nestled between warmth and security
In a time where beautiful chamelion colors
Have over played their amazing statement
And the course furred predators
Brave the harshness of

  "S.uperman  A.nd  D.epression"

The man of steele of lately has a real rubbery feel.

The skies are past the verge of darkened

A smothering veil pulled too tight

What happened to even a sliver of light?

It'll be months before the sun can peek through

This dudes catchy costume has turned all blue

To reclaim

Wake up in haste to man-sized flames

Inside a vacant room

Tips of death they brush your chest

Deadly thoughts now bloom

At long last I leave this place

Why must you plauge me so

I'm begging and pleading for you to just go.

Entering my mind every so often

Always ending up with a loved one in a coffin.

So familiar to me it is a shame

You are around so much you

We go together like Romeo and Juliet

It was love the first second we met

We go together like Bonnie and Clyde

In bad situations we always stick side by side

We go together like Jack and Jill

I go tumbling after when you fall down a hill

We go together like Lois and Clark

I watched a moth try to escape.

“The lights are too bright for me to fight. Can you do me a favor on this night? Open the door and allow me to soar.”

“No ” I replied.

The moth circled the window that led outside while I boasted my pride.

Stocks rise and fall

Wall Street eloped with money

Decimals move flexible

The guns remains humble

The bullets stay in line

Stalking for the right time

The Bible is left behind

Awaken for lonesome jail time

Money is the reason

The Bible has the reason

The gun is believing

Not meant for reasoning

Stocks up
