Shackles Of Fear
Shackle bounded
Bounded by shackles
Shackles of fear
They confine these hands
Shackles of fear
They bind these feet
Bound by shackles of fear
My mind is overdosed
My heart it beats slow
My eyes are wide shut
Lord God please
Release these shackles that hold me in captivity
Lord God please
Break these shackles that hinder me
Please God don't let my fear be the end of this journey
I'm shackle bounded
Bounded by shackles of fear
And I fear the release of my bounded shackles
These shackles they hinder me

City Boy Blues
Fireflies in dogfights
Runnin hot in the heat
Street noise, another bribe
Things too hard to believe--so head out
My hearts in the country
My feets in the city with you
All my friends are eatin sushi
Talkin bad about you know who-who-who
My tongues talkin riddles
But I just cant seem to find a clue
So I take a swig of whiskey
And jump into the saddle with you-you-you
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
Cats in the alley
Rats in my snakeskin boots
All my neighbors think Im crazy
And my girl thinks Im losin my cool-cool-cool
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues

Dont look to jesus to change your seasons
Its the american dream
Souls of gypsies, road of stone
Cant seem to find no peace--so head out
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
And I just cant seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the blues, I got the blues, got the city boy blues

Not easy
Not easy
Throwing shackles
Not easy
Throwing shackles of
Glittering world
Not easy.
Selfless action
The only way
If practised
Can give some
Relief
And prctice
makes one
Perfect.
Not easy
Selfless action
Not easy
Throwing off
Shackles of karma
Not easy
Throwing shackles of
Glittering world
Not easy
Unless terrible
Fear of birth
And death
Is out of pitch.
Not easy
Not easy.

Appalled
All who passed by will be appalled and others will scoff,
For this was the very place that i had my first experience;
But it was wet enough today as we came along,
And like slaves bounded with bronze shackles.

I Have A Name!
roll back the stone!
take your chains
of ignorance and fear
from around my neck....
take your shackles
from my feet....
nobody owns me,
and nobody ever will.
i am not a number...
i have a name!

Shackles
an old Esso sign,
broken down,
standing in the corner.
empty block building,
windows broke out,
wind whistles through the dust.
an old set of shackles,
hanging on a peg.
two broken chairs,
and an empty coke bottle.
lost on the road
that no one travels anymore.
an old rotary phone...
a tattered flag on the floor.
an old Chevy up on blocks,
black crows flying overhead...
i sit down and light a smoke,
staring at the shackles....
and letting go!

Long Promised Road
So hard to answer futures riddle
When ahead is seeming so far behind
So hard to laugh a child-like giggle
When the tears start to torture my mind
So hard to shed the life of before
To let my soul automatically soar
But I hit hard at the battle thats confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Sew up the wounds of evolution
And the now starts to get in my way
So what if lifes a revelation
If the mind speaks of only today
So real, the pain growing in my soul
Of climbing up to realitys goal
But I hit hard at the battle thats confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Long promised road
Trail starts at dawn
Carries on to the seasons ending
Long promised road
Flows to the source, gentle force, never ending, never ending
So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre
When the weight turns a smile to a frown
So hard to drink of passion nectar
When the taste of lifes holding me down
So hard to plant the seed of reform
To set my sights on defeating the storm
So I hit hard at the battle thats confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Hit hard at the battle thats confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Hit hard at the battle thats confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Wilderness
What sanctuary am I to seek beyond the blanket of your arms
When I can find no asylum in the eyes of another?
Familiar faces seem strange to me
A circle of kings surround me
A circle bound in time and set by destiny to strive
To live and be alive within the moment ever after.
I have forgotten the wisdom of the willow man's secret
I have lost the ability to see with eyes of ecstasy upon the world
As if it were of innocence.
Forget the night unwinding
I find myself in the arms of the one who holds me closest.
What is the dance without the dancer?
Think not that I have forgotten the love that lay fresh for you amongst the rotten.
We are as lost within the wilderness -
I have arrived at the town of my birth to find the generations lost to self destruction.
Is it a lifetime of parading the silver screen you seek?
Or is it that you would inspire the dreams of men?
We have created ourselves a world into which we sink
Free of the shackles of conformity
Free of the shackles of normality
Free of the shackles of reality
I am free for they shatter in binding my soul.
Deserted upon an island
Left alone through a mutiny of the soul
Underground unfound are we
Those souls of midnight ecstasy
That seek to set their spirit free
And be as one as all should be.

To Set One Free
If there is no true serenity
In the divinity that is being fed,
Or preached.
And it does not release one
From their shackles
To experience the higher self,
As meant to be!
To set one free...
To be as one should be!
It should be abandoned immediately!
And one should seek the truth...
Only a personal journey can deliver!
God will ALWAYS be there to guide that faith,
That comes from within!
One can not be broken,
When the heart still beats...
To afford one a chance to mend,
With all that has been sent and given!

Shackels and A Cage
Cracks in something once broken
Pencil marks not fully erased
Shadows of what was
Dim the light of now
Trapped in white rooms
Black lines paint pictures
Greys of nothing
Penetrate brilliant colors
Those addicted
Uncontrolled desire
Hinder
Yet release
You trade dull shackles
For shining gold ones
Switch bland prisons
For a guilded cage
Is there a difference?

On Forgiving
A decade of moonless nights flutters
As this soul continues to squander
And these manacles tightens painfully
Gripping my veins with a suppressing weight
A hoarse frost of unforgiving billowed
A wolf howled in the distant milieu
Saddled back to the sharp blade
This is the taste of struggling with fate
And as these shackles rattle
With every undulation
Riveting me in this brambly floor
I suffer from passing unconscious states
Because every time I fall to the deep
Fathoms of tumultuous slumber
I ply to forgive your giant shadows
As they picked me drowning from the mud
But these shackles pull me down
To my lifeless sinking ground
And every time I stir to wake
From a myriad of night terrors
I impede myself with a colossal weight
Because I cannot get up to live
Another life lesser and incomplete
And always I wonder how
Iniquitous I have become
As I seek for the assuage
Of the shadows' qualms
I wanted to shatter these beast,
I wanted to cross the frozen lake,
To reach your indifferent face
But the humming bird chance
Is devoured by the tempest
Because I want these shackles
To hold me down;
This is my exacerbating fix
And I grovel on my knees
Upon these endless nights
That the panthers may find me
Haplessly tethered and
Delectably suffering.

Dont Cry Freedom
How long before we see we have broken those chains,
.(? )...just like the bird that sings it in the dream baby we are born free,
Oh now, I want you to know now we are in charge of our own destiny,
Freedom is only but a state of mind, youve got to leave them shackles behind.
Dont you cry freedom, exercise your freedom,
Dont cry freedom, exercise your freedom,
Dont cry freedom, its a state of mind,
Oh..ooooh..cry..dont cry, dont cry...well well, well.
Freedom is only but a state of mind, youve got to leave them shackles behind.
Yeah, yeah,
Some of us get to dance on a dream,
Every day we pray to that which we cannot see,
Why is it so, so difficult to love that which we see?
Love for you and me.
Tell me now, do you like what you see?
Are those images forced upon us, reflections of you and me,
Dont you let them play upon your mind, youve got to leave them shackles behind.
.(? ).i want you to know that, we are each other our own destiny,
Just like the bird that sings within the dreams, baby you are born free,
Oh yeah, every night oh now,
Dont you cry freedom, freedom, dont cry, dont cry oh now, freedom,
Dont you cry freedom, exercise your freedom its a state of.., dont cry freedom,
Just like the bird that sings within the dream baby you are born free.

The Bible Blueprint
Is there a best time
To do what we can?
That question's sublime,
As God's got a plan...
I'll give you a hint,
Start saying your prayers...
God's Book's our blueprint,
Let's heed what it says...
Where is the hero,
If not held within?
Courage makes fear go,
Love turns us from sin...
Boldness beats coldness
And brightness beats night
And goodness can sure bless
When folks do what's right...
Hold on to the good,
Let the bad depart,
Till you've understood
What honours the heart...
Love is the portion
Of all that remains,
Freeing the spirit from
Shackles and chains...

Green Horse
The green horse strolls saddleless
the dust and grass
flowers painted on glass
images of the trademarks
on the shinning shackles
The restless strokes of darkness
the fiery strokes of fire
brave instincts for the forgetful
the lust less gaze of the
lusty framed muscles
burn….
Green horse in fire!
With the last doves retirement
the buzzing receding
and one time familiar sweatiness
return untouched
from beneath the burning flesh!
Charring anatomy of the green horse …..
should the shackles disappear:
the gypsy city welcome
the creatures of beaded pearls
the green horse
the burning anatomy…
the shinning anatomy!

The Edge of Circumference...
A land of Sublime Archons,
Where secrets of Royal Blood are withheld,
Let us know what are the truths,
Truths of creation, protection and destruction,
No! ! ! They answer,
They have that great fear,
The archbishops, the priests,
Are the fakes,
Or are the disloyal to the Almighty,
Who knows! ! !
Then why are the differences on the path of Illumination,
Dig out the archives and publicly display them,
This is like waling on the circumference of sanity,
So free masonries were perfect,
Anyways we should be simplified,
Break the shackles,
Glorify the archives,
And be savior of yourself...

Tears of Faith
Tears of faith
bounded me here
as life goes on
I hide myself
I know the world
has its hard days
holding all of us
with its own strength
we all try to be
the world
holding until we hurt
like shoe we wore out
Tears of faith
bounded me here
as life goes on
I find myself
Here in fear
trying, and trying
not to be sad
but to look
beyond reach
like the stars up in the sky.
Tears of faith
bound me here
telling me
that its time
to change
the page
but look forward
since the stars
look upon you
to guild there light
upon faith, hope and dreams.
tears of faith
are tears of joy
running away
from the darkness
that we fear
