Dog Eaters

Caged

Posted on 04.12.21 under Uncategorized

We live in conflicted times with unrealized motivations.

He packed his bags and left the street
Powered by his hands and feet
Pounding his chest said I can’t be beat
Feed me, I need to eat

Step into the cage
I’m not afraid
My life’s on the line
I need to get paid on time

She stole his cash wounded his pride
The media lens magnifies
Dr Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde
Naked raw emotion intensified

Step into the ring
Your shot to be the king
Give all you can bring
This chance is your everything

Caged in the spotlight of your mini-verse
A willing victim of beauty’s curse
Blood and diamonds and the winner’s purse
The grifter’s bounty that you coerced

Step into the fight
Don’t give in to your fright
From darkness to light
From morning until the night

Worm Portals

Flower pots with holes drilled in the sides with kitchen scraps
The other side of the garden

The lowest terrace is a worm farm. The 2nd terrace is for herbs.

We Long to Be

Posted on 03.22.21 under Uncategorized

Your mama left you
Alone and hungry on a cold and rainy night
Your drama found you
On a sound stage without a costume in the spotlight

We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night

The moment has passed
Regret and guilt is salt rubbed into our shame
I think we should ask
What we need is something we really want to tame

We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night

No time on the clock
Is this a daydream or a waking nightmare
It comes as a shock
To take a leap of faith and find only thin air

We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night
We long to be the light
Be stars that glitter in the night

Curtain Call

Curtain Call

I saw the writing on the wall
Right before the bloody fall

A perfect description of us all
As we take our curtain call

Disrespect the protocols
Drinking too much alcohol

A perfect description of us all
As we take our curtain call

When it feels like a free for all
Fighting for toys in the shopping mall

A perfect description of us all
As we take our curtain call
