Even Greater Works
You said my Lord “truly, truly,
If I believeth in you,
I shall do things that you have done,
even greater works than you-- The Son."
From what I’ve seen your words are crossed,
The meaning and belief you spoke of-- lost,
The churches are full but no one’s home,
Gamblers on forgiveness are free to roam.
Your workers don’t sit, nor do they kneel,
They’ve got to much to do-- to much to feel,
They bear your cross there’s so much to do,
No time to sit and sing i…

~It’s A Hard Road To Heaven~
Used to be a shinny penny
Now tarnished through the years,
My sins there have been plenty
Wishes have turned to tears.
You know that girl tempts me,
the priests say, I’ll go to hell,
And mamma I can’t help it,
I’m sleeping in a sinners spell.
It’s a hard road to heaven,
It’s an easy slide to hell,
It’s hard when it aint easy,
The hard road’s tough to sell.
It’s a hard road to heaven,
It’s an easy slide to hell,
It’s hard to choose the hard r…

Got me a letter,
said; you better do better,
written in a sighing despair,
written like a dying prayer.
Landed in my backyard, crashing though the midnight air,
a meteor cracked open, a moment captured-- so rare.
Took the letter out,of the burning debris,
like a letter from God, like it was written to me.
It said;
Been sending you this prayer since the beginning of time,
But you’r always way to busy to hear this old rhyme.
Please Mr. Earthman can you please help this soul out,

~Made In The U.S.A.~
Made in a middle class town
The first click I joined was when I hit the ground
Starving you like a dog that’s been taxed too much
taxed till your sick and your all messed up.
Made in the U.S.A,
I was made in the U.S.A
I was made in the U.S.A,
made in the U.S.A
Got in trouble didn’t eat my jam,
They put a little ritalin in my hand,
Sent me off to a numbing land,
GOT TO BE--- A CONFROMING MAN!

~Salvation or Salivation~
Did Adam eat the apple
that fell on Newton’s head?
Did Freud lick the rib
when his wife was dead?
Did Christ ascend to heaven,
through the pearly gates?
Was Darwin really Charlie
in the Planet Of The Apes?
Is man just a mammal,
like in Pavlov’s head,
Is there “Salivations”
in the Good Book's stead.
Does God like some humor,
does he eat soul food?
Would he think I’m funny
Or, he think me rude?

~If We Were Gods~
If we were Gods
and steer this place,
the sun and stars
and human race,
where would you go,
where would you hide,
could you numb
your pain inside?
Would you pray
to gods above,
get on your knees,
to profess your love?
Would you sleep like
human beings,
like common sheep
with heaven’s dreams?
Would you wake,
oh,
could you start,
to hear the prayers
of human hearts?
Would it be
so much to bear,
to hear the pleas
and start to care?
Could you…

“Who's on Sabbath?"
If I could talk to God just to socialize,
tell him what I can see-- what’s in my eyes.
You got to do something down here dude,
nations fighting, families feuding,
children crying-- mankind screwed.
You been on vacation for way to long,
We-- mankind-- need something strong.
Some say you skipped town on a heavenly cruise,
they say we’ll see you, if we pay our dues,
big guy; we need you now so we don’t lose.
You sent us here without much right,

okay, so this is a bit heavey and although only a few words it may take a few times through to get it. A little play on words by moving a "t" around.
A little “t”
Immortality
Is morality
In reality
Life
Immorality
Is mortality
In reality
a fatality
Death.

"9-11 A POEM FROM WITHIN"
I Watched them bring us flowers
I Watched them cry at our graves
I cried about our wake-up call--
missed by the free and the brave.
Working in the first tower,
hands on computer keys,
no time to call my wife or kids,
no time to get on my knees.
The body shred out in pieces

~Searching~
Searching for the Fountain of Youth,
where wrinkles in time are left behind,
where freedom rings and old ones sing,
where playing is the state of mind.
Searching for the Fountain of Youth,
where the spirit can still pretend,
no dark, nor light, can stop the flight,
where the play time never ends.
Searching for the Fountain of Youth,
where imagination rules the play,
where eyes are bright throughout the night,
and morning breaks a brilliant day.
Searching for the…

~Poetic Brothers~
You meet these beings,
every once in awhile,
a rhythm of life,
their way, their smile.
A Listener intently,
to every word,
a friend just met,
your thoughts are heard.
You talk of nothings,
their response is true.
Your eyes don't matter
if there brown or blue
As you turn,
to go your way,
your steps are lighter,
it’s a brighter day.
A wave goodbye,
as life embraces,
a wave of wonder,
two smiling faces.
This poetry of life,
A rhyming with others,
A connecti…

~Bang For The Buck-- A Hunter’s "Tail"~
Tiptoeing from camp at mornings twilight,
freshly sprinkled snow, twinkles a trail’s delight.
It’s hunter’s first light, imagination screaming,
aroma of sweet pine in the senses gleaming.
Spying anticipation for the markings of deer,
heart pounding sensations mounting severe.
Scoping sites at the bottom of the ravine,
a large buck, big rack, looking serene.
Clandestine stances to retrieve a better view,
mistaken step, a crackle…

~Circuit Man~
Telling the same old story,
dancing to the same old beats,
like a circuit in the mind,
that plays the same old piece.
Listening to the stories,
we have the same damn fears,
eating apples everyday,
we cry the same old tears.
Are we really living life,
or just circuits of the mind?
Can we act differently
or are we-- just too blind?
Are we just a bad habit
or just a normal routine?
Should we be left alone
or can the truth, be seen?
Is our life just a movie…

~A New Declaration of Independence~
There’s a new declaration on its way,
independent thinkers with their own say.
No, CBS, No NBC, No Night Line blues,
No see through bimbo to relate the news.
No hypnotherapy watching TV,
No spectatin’ zombies we’re set free,
Free from dependence of the common kind,
No antidepressants to dull the mind.
No hot head anger or a victims plea,
A rational being who can really see,
A head held higher with a higher goal,
A rational being who knows his soul.…

..Invitation To The Big League..
This world sometimes seems a prison,
With it’s rules like a ball and chain
There are those who play for freedom,
There are those who are played by pain.
There are victors, there are losers,
And those who never play the game.
There are spectators and players,
And those who never take the blame.
This world is quite the puzzle,
There are pieces that do not fit,
There are those who give up easily,
And there are those who never quit.
There…

~God’s Taking Applications~
God’s taking applications,
Step right up, come on in,
Doesn’t matter your religion,
Doesn’t matter your old sin,
No experience is required,
Just sign up and begin.
The pay is low, the hours long,
The benefits are everlasting,
And He’ll throw in angel songs.
There are only a few questions,
Answer true and you’ll be alright,
Would you help your fellow man,
Would you hold him through the night?
Would you feed a starving child,
Would you help a man in nee…

~The Chance~
They said-- I didn’t stand a chance,
but if I tried,
I’d do my dance,
You see a sitter never tries.
I danced as if I couldn’t hear,
I dried my eyes,
saw through their fear,
You see their eyes-- they do not lie.
Danced like I was on a cloud
The ground below,
their holy shroud,
You see they really couldn’t fly.
When I danced right off into space,
they shook in fear,
they couldn't face,
I just waved and said-- good-bye.
Many years h…
