Uncle Alvarez
Theres a portrait of uncle alvarez
Hangin in the hall
Nobody wants to look at it
But uncle alvarez sees us all
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Better send a postcard and keep the family quiet
Hes not really a part cherokee indian
He didnt fight in the civil war
Hes just eugene isaac alvarez
We feel sorry for the wall
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Youre gonna make em sorry when you die
And its a long way down
Youre hoping for a heart attack
Runnin around
Investing in this and that
And your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you
Safe in the bedroom
Where theres no dust or mildew
And its hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer
Better just to shake it off
As you write your resume
Dont think of uncle alvarez
And the price he had to pay
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Youre gonna make em sorry when you die
Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of presidents
Better send some money to the alma mater

For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in.

Awakening
Say hello, wave goodbye,
A heartfelt epitaph, a new borns cry,
A tangible symmetry between life and death,
the last waking moment, a babys first breath.

Beyond the stars
Worlds collide unseen to human eye,
infinity way beyond the night sky,
We are but a spec of dust floating in natures dominion
joined intrinsically as one.

Low
Monday blues, a heart of stone,
Out of sorts, out of mind, so alone,
Feelings so strong threaten to engulf me,
A clear mind is needed, the way ahead to see.

Lifes embrace
The sun peeks over the rooftops nervously at first; with stillness all around, it rises majestically like a Phoenix from the ashes to survey his kingdom below! The dark, oppressive air is vanquished for a short while at least: We rejoice and embrace the beauty of the day ahead! We are at one

Falling
Rose petals fluttering in the soft eternal breeze.
windswept beauty, haunting, harrowing, hollow,
A mask of content covers the sorrow within,
free spirited, the path of truth, there to follow
