He's a good tough producer, yes. But I don't think that he's unreasonable unless he feels threatened. And when somebody's in your home, I think everybody in the home gets threatened.

It's Only Our Shell

(10/1/12)

She was a big boned woman without an ounce of fat
But for her height and stature, she was much more than that.
She was a queen - a goddess of height and might
And for her love I would surely fight.

Her height and physique would put fear
In other women from the start
But she had the most kind and gentlest heart.

Why does height and build stop us from seeing
Ones true self.
It's only a body - it's only a shell.

The inside of that giant or dwarf
May be as big or as small as you
And going thru your same things too.

"So remember" - our bodies are just an outer shell
The only place our hearts can dwell.

Paranoid Andriod

please could you stop the noises, i'm trying to get some rest
from all the unborn chicken voices in my head
what's that? (my name is paranoid, i am your android)
what's that? (my name is paranoid, i am your android)
when i am king, you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all
what's that? (my name is paranoid, i am your android)
what's that? (my name is paranoid, i am your android)
ambition makes you look pretty ugly
kicking squealing gucci little piggy
you don't remember
you don't remember
why don't you remember my name?
off with his head man
off with his head man
why won't he remember my name? -- i guess he does
rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
from a great height, height
rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
from a great height, height
(repeats 3rd time, underneath vocals are:)
that's it sir,
you're leaving,
the crackle of pig skin,
the dust and the screaming,
the yuppies networking,
the panic, the vomit,
the panic, the vomit,
God loves his children,
God loves his children, yeah

If A Human Being Can Be Alive In One Second

If a human being can be alive at one second
And a second or perhaps many tormenting minutes or hours
later be dead
with a bullet in his brain or gas in his lungs or fire going all through his body
Then I too can be suddenly never breathing and never conscious again forever-
I too can be an incident and accident
Here one second not here another-

I too could be like one of those millions the Nazis murdered in just this way
Or one of the millions threatened by terror or nuclear night
One of those millions who through the centuries were just killed in the most cruel and violent ways simply because they were Jews
Or one of those who actually knew the burns and the radiation and the heat storms and the bleeding inside and out
And are threatened now simply because they are other than their enemies
It has happened to others and could happen to me and mine
To any and all of us-
How I pray to God no great and evil disaster will come to us again-

0005 The Poetry Reading

You’re two-thirds the way through.
The corners of their mouths are turning down.
Their eyes are filming over.
Their shoulders are stiffening.
They’re in defensive-polite posture.
They feel threatened by poetry.

But isn’t this just what they should be?
Their little worlds, threatened by the greater world out there?
Didn’t you have to go through this yourself?
For their sake, those who follow, wish to follow?
Isn’t this the proof that
Poetry Matters? ..

Sure – on paper – but not, please,
so visibly, and not right now…
the carer in you winces;
the poet, calls the self to duty;
the teacher in you, piercing of eye and human perception,
marks them off, one by one –

the officers of the poetry society,
impassively attentive, have
the easiest job – they don’t have to
like your poems – just approve,
clear up after, lock the hall…

and some look just simply hungry;
traffic bad in getting here
so get home first, then eat;
some find it just too long;
a little poetry goes a long way for them;
some are here because they think
you’ll notice if they aren’t…
some have just combined you
with a shopping trip to town; culture
a kinda penance for the overspend..

yup, time to flip over the pages
to the funnies, and the family ones;
turn up the volume of your voice, speed up a little
as if you too, are glad it’s ending soon;
with a bit of luck, you’ll get them
smiling at each other at each poem’s end, towards the end..
The applause is warm with virtue and relief.

but at least you threatened them a while -
if not with boredom, perhaps with poetry.

Threatened By Ambiguity

Those not on the side,
Of correcting blight...
Find their way of life,
Threatened by ambiguity.

Uncertain are many,
Who believe their traditions...
Maintain a cemented fix to truths.

Uncertain they are,
How far a kept stubbornness...
Will keep facts off their tracks,
As a return to plastic satisfactions...
Seem never again to revisit to relive intact.

Those not on the side,
Of correcting blight...
Find their way of life,
Threatened by ambiguity.
With a weakening of pretentions.

And there is nothing on the horizon,
That validates a relief...
From fears that have increased.
As those foundations symbolized all their lives...
Begin falling to pieces as beliefs in them decrease.

The Height Of The Fighting

Heat war (they sent you to do it, do it)
Sweat law (if you cant move it, prove it)
At the height of the fighting
He-la-hu
At the height of the fighting
He-la-hu
Heat war (if you dont like it, fight it)
Sweat law (if you cant take it, fake it)
Heat war (they sent you to do it, do it)
Sweat law (if you cant move it, prove it)
At the height of the fighting
He-la-hu
At the height of the fighting
He-la-hu

The beauty of sorrow

I drink from the cup of sorrow
I ate the delicious bread of hope
that sorrow placed in front of me
It craves my heart day and night
Not telling me how to climb the height
The height that is pulling my heart too tight
The height that tells me not to be frighten
But what helps me out is the beauty of sorrow
The drink it place in front of me makes me calm
Though, it's bitter and sour
But when it does, it feels cold like a plate of ham
Total humbleness pull me through
Total submission to what to come
Sorrow gives me hope
Those are the best dayz in my life
Sorrow dayz

A Common Man's Prayer

I pray you to take me to that height,
From where fall is not possible,
But I know my worth,
Being a human being I am the victim of
All those infirmities which a comman man has,
Jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and greed,
inhabit my mind,
I confess my sin yet I am not strong enough
To stay away from them,
O Lord, forgive my sin,
And help me attain that height of spiritual glory,
From where fall is not possible.

Love’s yardstick

The depth of love
Is the height of jealousy.
The height of love
Is the depth of pining.

Burying Her Ashes

Strange!
A person with great height
and weight is now turned
into an urn of ashes.

Down deep into a
little hole of the ground,
she is laid down
without music
and elegance.

Strange!
She, an equation
by contraction
or reduction!

And this life
of great height
and grandeur
is now inside
a metallic urn!

Shadows & Light

Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness, blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness, blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness, blindness and sight
Suntans in reservation dining rooms
Pale miners in their lantern rays
Night, night and day
Hostage smile on presidents
Freedom scribbled in the subway
Its like night, night and day
Threatened by all things
God of cruelty
Drawn to all things
God of delight
Mythical God of the everlasting laws
Governing day, day and night
Critics of all expression
Judges in black and white
Saying its wrong, saying its right
Compelled by prescribed standards
Or some ideals we fight
For wrong, wrong and right
Threatened by all things
Man of cruelty-mark of cain
Drawn to all things
Man of delight-born again, born again
Man of the laws, the ever-broken laws
Governing wrong, wrong and right
Governing wrong, wrong and right
Wrong and right

Fearmongers

The fearmongers,
Are soliciting your attention.
They want you to feel uneasy,
And threatened.
Using this against you...
As their most powerful weapon.

To have you medicated,
Enduring sleepless nights.
To have you suspicous of your neighbor...
Black, brown, red or white.

They would like to whip you into a frenzy.
Cowering to your knees.
They would love to see you hypnotized!
And frightened of the thought,
Of losing your democracy!
You know...
The one they are stealing away from you?
As they have done the economy!

The fearmongers,
Are soliciting your attention.
They want you to feel uneasy,
And threatened.
Using this against you...
As their most powerful weapon.

They would like to whip you into a frenzy.
And doing the zombie dance!
They would love to see you hypnotized!
And paralyzed in a trance!

Wither

The valley of your love! !
To flow like milk,
To flow like wine,
To flow like blood,
To flow like water!
And like the home of pleasure;
With lofty height.

Eight, height, weight, freight!
And like a judicial process;
Wither,
Sledges,
Edges,
Hedges,
Cows,
Maps,
But you are weighed down with negative acts.

Our Time?

This time
time boils pressure
blood violence.

Flick button society
threatened with total
global annihilation.

Annihilation
complete destruction
nuclear physics.

Process
particle combine
with antiparticle.

Destroy both
release
their energy

radiation
other particles
shred life matter.

This time
time ticks pressure
blood violence.

Flick button society
threatened reign rain
total global annihilation

Through cause
from inaction.

God given
stay of execution?
