Faith Outlawed Political Oppression
enduring political oppression
without resurrection fibre faith
this then was thorny problem
splinter within pastoral Russian
psyche splinter within rustic mind
an issue not with vodka drunk blind
but appeasement flooded loss of faith
drowned as testament escapism time
that was the point under Communism
during war devastating invasion Nazism
vodka seemed to be fluid Russian soul
without faith cry liquid vodka tears

Faith In Vodka Tears
'those vodka weeping

those vodka weeping
Russians
crying vodka tears'
lost loss of faith
loss of faith in communism
lost loss of faith
loss of faith in orthodox religion
lost loss of faith
loss of faith in devastated souls
will Russian soul thaw regenerate?
socialist history of faith
under Lenin Stalin Communism
under suppressed orthodox religion
devastated souls did not regenerate...
vodka soothed Russian soul
crying vodka tears
defensive history of faith
under aggressive invasion bestial Nazism
vodka seemed to fire the Russian soul
crying vodka tears
without faith they cry vodka tears
with faith they cry vodka tears

Gospel (Lk 6: 39-42)
Why note the splinter in your brother’s eye,
And nev’r notice the log within your own?
Why tell, ‘I’ll take the splinter off your eye,
When you can’t see the log in yours? ’
You hypocrite!
‘Take out the log from your eye first,
When only you can see clearly;
Then take the splinter out from brother’s eye! ’
Many a time, we never know
Nor do we ever realize
Our own great faults and blunders made
But always try to give advice
Unto others on flimsy grounds;
A wise man makes himself perfect
Before embarking on preaching;
We note the faults of others fast;
We forget sins of our own past;
We should not try to judge others;
God is the perfect Judge, brothers!

Somewhere sometime
all things will be fine
and it never seems to stop
wonder if i've met my wife
somewhere sometime
all things will be fine
and it never seems enough
splinter left
focus right
this mortal soil around me
mortal feeling i have found
surrounded by your glory
hold me now so that i never drown
and it never seems to stop
wonder if i've met my wife
splinter left
focus right
focus right

He can see the splinter in another's eye but cannot see even the beam in his own.
Katie
The truth is,
I can't throw much of my money into the thin air for you!
Oh, my mid-summer night.
Of a half-naked body on my bed,
For she is sheltered from sex and nudity! !
But, do i need a lawn on this issue?
For, the hiding place of her love is now being eaten up.
Katie! !
Some supplements will help you on this issue to gain your strength back;
But, for how long? !
And like the tuna with the red sauce being served around;
But, without English Muffins! !
In the eating,
You are like every nook and cranny! !
And like a Russian Vodka on your love;
But, i can't throw much of my money into the thin air for you.

Welcome friends to janices party
The kind that others have tried
Smoking is permitted inside
We have faith in janices party
With friends who can not sing
And I can hear the doorbell ring
Well I came this far
Now I know that I wont sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janices partys alright, alright
Bah bah bah bah bah da da da da
Bah bah bah da da da

Heres a chip a vodka martini
Someone call me a car
Ill be underneath the bar
Well I came this far
Now I know that I wont sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janices partys alright, alright

Well I came this far
Now I know that I wont sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janices partys alright, alright

Russian Roulette
Take it or leave it Ive heard it been said
All this spring fevers just way over my head
Stealing my moments, taking up all my time
Its playing russian roulette with my mind
Its none of my business baby just whats going on
Im not going to wait till somebody throw me a bone
Im way out on a limb now, and nothing seems to rhyme
Its playing russian roulette with my mind
I think that youve caught on, that youve been used and all
Im going down new orleans, Ive got to see dr. john
Got my mojo working everything will be fine
Stop playing russian roulette with my mind
Its not easy baby when everything starts getting out of control
Hang on your hat now, hang on to your soul
Dont worry baby, I wanna throw you the line
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind
Too many hustlers, Ive been here before
None of them really know just who that you are
Everything gets contracted and space gets confined
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind

Pinocchio (Fun Poem 21)
Pinocchio was a wooden boy,
who every time he lied,
his nose began to grow.
What everyone forgets is that
every time he scratched his head,
he got a splinter in his finger.

braind within its groove, The
The brain within its groove
Runs evenly and true;
But let a splinter swerve,
'T were easier for you
To put the water back
When floods have slit the hills,
And scooped a turnpike for themselves,
And blotted out the mills!
