Song of the Redbird

Song of the Redbird


There was a beautiful red-bird perched in a tree
It sang "what cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer"
It seemed to be singing to me
I noticed that it had a black mask
That went all around its beak
I thought how wonderful it would be
if that cardinal could speak
"Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet"
Was the next thing I heard it say
That little bird, with its rich tone really made my day
"Purdy, purdy, purdy, purdy"
Was the last thing I heard it sing
Then the cardinal took to the sky with a flap of each wing
I tried to absorb all of its beauty as it started to fly
I just stood there and watched it disappear into the Ozark sky
That bird made me feel so alive
I hope you know it's true
Maybe you won't believe
Until the Redbird sings its song to you

Bad Taste

“Bad Taste”


Immense civilization
Too much population
Atom bombs explode
Rain forests erode
Extinction of a tribe
All’s quiet with a bribe
Future of Earth is bleak
Ozone layer getting weak
Mankind is on the rise
Our past is our demise
Millions of dollars lost in space
Rivers are poisoned by my race
All of these worries are legit
So many landfills full of shit
Mountains of radio-active waste
All been buried in bad taste

Star

Star


Once she bowed at my alter of love
She did so because it felt right
Needing of the love and understanding
That only i could give
She found a star that night
All bright and shiny
Then she named it
Only she knew the name
Every night she would glance up
And say that name and find her star
It gave her an inner peace
She soon found out her star was falling
She wasn't about to ride it out
So with a quick change of heart
She found a new and improved alter
Give herself too
With a new alter
A new star was soon to follow

She

She


She looks at me with big blue eyes
I want to be alone
But she has me caught up in her trance
She's not that great looking, I tell myself
But there is a huge amount of sexiness blowing off her body
I look into her eyes
Listen to her words
Taste the sweat of her inner thighs
I am hooked for the night
There is little talk
She wants action, not speech
I am her 160 lbs. hampster
I do as I am told, for she is in charge
Soon I am turning black with disgust
I am not myself
I am what she wants me to be
This cannot be happening
I pull away from her sex
As though I am a slug retreating from salt
She flies threw the air, all claws and teeth bare
I am ripped apart and ate on a bed of white rice
Drank with a little dry wine

Smelly Flesh

“Smelly Flesh”


The flesh I smell
Is not my own
It is the flesh of the
Lovers before me
Kneeling at the alter of the king
-King of Mars-
My alter beckons
Can you heed the call?
Come my child
Walk into my world
I can only bring you
If you allow yourself to be brought
Welcome flesh
Tasters choice
Lustful eyes
Mouth and tongue
Meet your new self
Better than the old self
You are what I make you
You are mine

Cold Day In Hell

“Cold Day In Hell”



I wake with cold winter coming in
It brings me down
Makes me grim

Something needs to be done
Put in it’s place
Take hold
Annihilate a race

A twisted feel
A scratch to itch
Gun to the heart
Limp body in a ditch

No love inside
Just a balled-up pit
Columbian neck-tie
The throat is slit

Daylight leaves
Brings on the night
It’s my war
I won’t stop the fight

Pigs getting closer
There is no doubt
Gun to my head
It’s the only way out!

ME

"ME"


My moms on drugs
My dads a cop
My brothers in prison
Where will it stop?

My sister got a divorce
My moms had six
I guess that's one way
For her to get her kicks

My other sister is great
She's really alright
She is in Arkansas
Way outta sight

I am 20 yrs. old
Just this year
Whole life in front of me
Nothing to fear

Holding on to that low-paying job
Keeps me living & feeling
Just like a slob
Got no family
Doesn't seem fair
Just keep going
No time to care

Got a girlfriend
But she's never there
I always wait
I'm always here
Sink all my money
Into my truck
I'm to the point
Where I don't give a fuck

I know there are people
Worse off than me
But I have to wonder...
"How can that be"?

I haven't lived long enough
To know what's up
Everyone figures
I'm still just a pup

This world is a trip
I can't figure it out
I'm a problem child
Without a doubt

A fuck-up for sure
Branded for life
Couldn't get my own
So I stole his wife

Sometimes I feel
I'm loosing this fight
But I'll keep living
Trying to do it right

Used to want a baby
How can that be?
She'd just grow up crazy
Just like me
