the captain
there is a trust inside
talking to my head
whispering little inspirations
wild promises in bed
I feel it sustain
trying to direct the ship
but the damaged controls
from all I have done to it
thick grey fog
disrupts all the trust
like a fish out of water
the ship begins to rust
slowly slips away
never again called upon
buried under the pain
until the trust is almost gone
there is a trust inside
where you go is yours
there are limitless seas
among the infinite shores
with trust inside
let the captain gain control
only a matter of time
before your destination goal
my friends
things that will not help you tomorrow
paychecks, mortgages, leases and bills
jobs and bosses and stockmarket losses
this is his picture
his ideals
but my firends
wild and free
tattooed and holding blank canvases
running alongside the freeway laughing
they dare my life
ask it if it cares for them
they test their days
remind themselves they are alive
“live for today, tomorrow may never come”
they tell me, climbing cliffs
dancing in the crowds
creating the laughter
causing the commotion
my soul reminds me
about what is really important
of which path to take
the jungle of time is snarled
with the quick deaths of friends I know
and relatives I did not
reminds me of my present postion
I am alive where I am
Amonda, shot in the head, is long since buried…
bethune at peace river
king of the beach
ruler of the sand
sitting in your throne
dug into the land
commanding all the billions
each individual piece
dealing with all the changes
and the changes never cease
governor of the shore
nature and all its turmoil
with all the barefoot followers
covered in coconut oil
eyes closed in your sandy throne
the sun shines over your kingdom
just another shitty day
in the land of sandy freedom
earth people
earth people
Frank
I create the peace
Emit love and absorb the hate.
I pardon the hurt
Faith replaces doubt
Is what my soul is all about.
Hope over despair
Light in the darkness
To help your conscience
Clear the air.
I am the joy
I embrace the sad
Console and understand
With Heavenly love I add.
Must give to receive
Forgiveness for real
Trust in the Believe
To begin the heal.
Release the hateful grip
Of your past you are after
Arise eternal life
From our Divine Master.
faith
faith
unplug
you sit and watch
your guard let down
absorbing its influence
every bullet’s sound
it’s opinion
the way they dress
determines the demeanor
of everybody left
stuck in every home
a society staple
more fuel for the fire
with supercharged cable
more choices
more wasted time
sitting your life away
thinking everything is fine
you sit and watch
the evil plugged in
let the pictures go
to let you life begin.
