POEMS NOT YET RELEASED - PAGE 12 OF 19

I don't hide who I am
I'm not that kinda man... anymore
On what I do not know
I don't speak

My identity used to be
being superior to the inferior
Yet that just made me average at best
And most often even less

The best place for a lie is in between two
truths
Sometimes a girls' pretty eyes blind you
[crossed out text]
and disguise what otherwise would act as proof

So now you wish you never
met me...
Just because you couldn't
"get me"...
So I guess that makes me
nothing + 0
When once I used to be
something...
Still not sure what happened
was it all my fault or outta
my hands...

Well the mountains have no snow
But that won't last very long we both know
For once the trees have lost their leaves
So it seems nothing much will grow
And while the nights are becoming longer
With every sunset and sunrise
Our love becomes just a little bit stronger
I will always remember this December
I could never forget
Find myself humming the same tune
I started in June
Half way around the world
Is the birthplace of my girl
In a land with no oceans
Is where I found my pearl

I RABBLE THE ROUSE
I BURN DOWN THE HOUSE
I DO WHAT'S NO ALLOWED
I am dissident
proud

I found myself being happy
yesterday sitting in the sun
Surrounded by seclusion
Away from everyone

Every thing that was human lots of
Of course there were [?] tails and wings
We had ourselves a grand old time
[?] my neighbor ruined everything
banging on
Began [?] his tractor
the [?] thought they heard guns
All [?] birds flew away
Once they saw the squirrels run
[?]
Soon [?]
my neighbor went back inside
To do what is [?] no concern
Now I'm back to being sad
For the creatures have not returned

1/2 People's word it ain't what it used to be
3/4 Oh No!
Suddenly That's become crystal clear to me
How so?
The New party line... is [crossed out: dead] just don't get killed and don't die
And don't lie... until you see the whites of their eyes!
But boy when you do... oh let 'em fly!!!
We'll build you a corporation behind which you can hide
Just a little tax shelter to keep your money warm and dry
1/2 While people somewhere are suffering
3 In fact there are some right outside
4 They've been tapping at your window?
Remember when you put down the blinds?
Or did you forget already?
I guess I'll refresh your mind:

The minority of the oppulent
[in the margin: And people / pay space takers]
PLACE HOLDERS to hold signs
that state: Hegemony before Survival
*: A world without war or
There won't be a world
To which they say: We've got your solution right here
and it's final!!!

Oh Masters of the Universe
To the Wizards of Davos I pray
Won't you kindly get back in to your limosines
Tell your assistant to tell your
driver to take you real far away
[crossed out: We're doing fine on our own]

The one you DON'T wanna win
is the race to destruction
IT'S best to give in to living just to fight another day again
[arrow from *:] Here on the other side of the line I'm holding
mine that reads: The majority of the populous want

There are too many lives lacking purpose
Yet so many with misplaced ambition
Just what's the point of existence
If you spend your entire life going fishing
I never understood remedial repetition
By those who could make a real difference

They end up selling their soul
For a few dollars a pound
All the while believing they're fully in control
Sometimes I wonder if they've ever stopped and
looked around
Perhaps they're too busy managing their bankroll

Who knew that the ride stopped here?
In the land of frozen lakes and polar bears
In a little three-month town
That really nothing's near
I used to love the big city lights
But now that love has disappeared
Where everynight there was a Friday
night fight
But now it's alright because people are
polite [drawn heart] here
round

Down in Manchester Bay
A place where [blacked out text] the seagulls
No longer fly
There's an old expression
That all the locals say:
Sometimes you shouldn't bother to wonder why
Here the shore is soaking wet
Yet the water's always dry
Where faces are always smiling
Yet people still surely cry

Lines form to stare at the sunset
Falling over Great Misery Island
Yet people stand with their head down
And even the children are all silent

You know I lived in a camper once
It was kinda fun the first couple of months
Getting stoned and driving around
You could never get lost
And you could never get found
Yeah... I lived in a camper once
You know I dated a stripper once
It was kinda fun the first couple months
We had our highs and lows
And our share of thrills
But before too long I ran outta bills
Yeah... I dated a stripper once
You know I was a councilor at a leper colony once
It was kinda fun the first couple of months
But I couldn't use some of the phrases
Normal people speak and hear
Like lend me your ear and give me a hand
Yeah... I was a councilor at a leper colony once

This is the train that'll lead me outta here
Gotta get when the gettin's good
And Now's my time the coast is clear
When you've gone too far and you can't turn back
When they don't know your name they don't
cut you any slack
Get Back On Track
Can't call this home again
Don't come Back
Time to get on the train again

All of a sudden the world's gotten
colder
When there's someone behind you you gotta
look over your shoulder
They say there's a heaven but this sure
ain't it
Just trying to get there is givin' me fits
It would be so easy to be like them

No I never been to disney land
And I never shook no president hand
I rarely shave and got a farmer's tan
Never know where to go
Or where I stand

I'm just an average Joe, you know
Tryin' my best to fit in
Doin' everything I can to blend
Just like every other kid

(in margin, vertically) Keep together
(in margin, vertically) use somewhere else?
I have spied the dawn of a new age
where all lies are gone
I have turned to a new page
Writing of all the wrongs
I have crawled through the filth and waste
Just to try to put a smile on your face
Then I fell down when I couldn't keep pace
Couldn't bare the weight of the human race
Please don't be mad at me for giving in
You know I tried my best I really did
I been so sad I couldn't keep it hid
Keeps haunting me what I've been living with
(circled on right) 2

I found a cat
living in a boat
And the boat is in my yard
All summer it has sat there
Covered up by a tarp

And there's a skunk
Sleeping underneath a plow
When the cat goes to bed

Then the skunk comes out
That's what this world is
coming to
My back yard has become a zoo
Image the farms are even worse than this
when you can barely fit all the people in
There's no place left for any animals to live

But new chapters divine sublime
[scribbled text: Watching a black face in a white house, pack up and move out, kinda funny when the white guy who's heading back down south]
1 A . . . . . B It's the change that we needed
2 A . . open . . B Just in the nick of time
3 A . . . . . B Four hundred years of pain's been defeated
4 A . . open . . B Not through war but a ballot box line
5 A . . . . . B Though History can never be deleted
this chapter to date is sublime
Black Face in the window of a white house
Watching the former owner says goodbye
He's packing up his bags and finally moving out
Kinda ironic this time it's the white guy
who's heading back down south
As he hands over the keys you can hear him sigh
MLK may have had a dream...
Almost fifty years is past
That dream is fast
Fifty years later that dream is real
Today's the day the times have changed
the day the wounds have healed

Johanna
Joe Anna

I finally put a name to a face
And such a beautiful face it was
I've finally had an intelligent conversation
That not many lately have rose above
I've finally found someone worth talking to
I've finally found someone worth walking with
I usually settle for second best just to make doe
I was finally genuinely interested without faking it

You speak of eight, multiple intelligences
Where I'm from you're lucky to even find two
But this is not my system it's the way I found it
What do you expect just one man to do?
We're not taught to change the system
We're only taught to obey
Never a lesson on how to start a revolution
Only lessons on the price we'll pay
The students in class have been rearranged
But the teachers are still shackled to the same old chain
Told to teach what history has taught
Though history repeats itself and the more
things change the more they remain the same
Racism segregation
Prostitution Revolution
Old solutions revolutions

Mother may she sleep in peace
May her spirit be at ease
When you get a call in the middle of the night
The hospital called but she's not alright
Fly, Fly away raven
Go on home back to your safe haven
Fly, Fly away raven
Go on home your work here is done
Mourning in the evening
Mourning at noon
Mourning in the morning
Over a life taken much to soon
A wedding and a funeral
Only three weeks a part
The end of a life
Just as another one starts

It's always raining here in Boston
Seems the sky is always filled with deep, dark clouds
It's always raining here in Boston
In this land called loserville where not complaining
is never allowed

Seems everybody's got a cross to bear
So much crying on the streets that it's heard by
deaf ears

I had a thought and I lost it
happens a lot here in Boston
Just when you think that you've got it
You watch it slip away

Some call it fate
When you separate

Find that it's too late

Prime time TV...
What the hell did you do to me?
I used to be blind to the times
Never tried to hide or oblige or give in to infamy

Prime time TV...
What the hell did you ever do for me
Except raise me from almost infancy to now what you see
Advertisers try to own me
Producers try to con me
Well, the sellers have already sold me
All these hands have helped molded me

Since we're playing the blame game
Here are some names
Of those who should be ashamed
Of themselves...
Of what they've done...

I CAN'T DROP SCIENCE
OR WIN BY USING LOGIC
BUT I CAN STAND DEFIANT
TAKE BACK THE SOAP BOX
KNOCK HIM OFF IT

AND TELL EVERYBODY
ANYONE WHO'LL LISTEN
THAT DON'T MAKE IT GOOD
(Just 'CAUSE) IT'S PRETTY
AND IT GLISTENS
OH NO... OH NO

THAT DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT
EVEN IF A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IT
SINCE MAN HAD FLAME
SINCE BIRDS TOOK FLIGHT
HISTORY'S THE SAME
EXCEPT FOR THE NAMES GET
CHANGED
WE LEARN TO READ
AND WE LEARN TO FIGHT
---
WE'RE TAUGHT TO BELIEVE
THAT OUR SIDE IS RIGHT
THE SUN IS SHINING DOWN ON US
SMILING IN DELIGHT...

FROM A DISTANCE
Every day thousands of people
can be seen here walking Downtown
They pass the pizza parlor, gaze out
upon the harbor, there's so many
sights and sounds
Some are smiling like young children
while others are looking at the ground
still more stand with hands in pockets
at the soap boxed man thinking get off it
I see a man waiting for someone, for anyone
Yet as for me I'm searching for one specific
face in the crowd
10 From a distance I saw someone that
That looked [?] I thought was you
10 As I tried to quell these anxious feelings
I realized it was the siluette of a stranger
The sun is quite revealing

I'm writing
{struck: This is} my last will and testament
For I've {struck: found myself trapped in a} battle again
{struck: before being sent one into}
I have suffered defeat and tasted victory
Long after {struck: this war} I expect {struck: this war} fought for my country
As {struck: I} I sigh {struck: and then} I close my eyes
As I recall all the things that I fight for...
One, two, three small children down at my feet
And My daughter's who's grown up yet I never see {struck: with me}
My dear Helen who's always been {struck: where} {struck: one}
Certainly my family has always {struck: been} {struck: the} world to me

I wrote a letter to myself
But it was meant for someone else
---
I've got a brand new method to my madness
And very simply stated
This life I lead I hate it
Through all I have seen I have become so jaded
The only place I've left to look for help is inside
There's none that I trust enough to be my guide
Thus I am a victim to [illegible] what I've created
Become trapped in a time so antiquated

Dead Silence on the train
Thirty people sitting in thirty seperate rows

Dead Silence on the train
Next stop one comes on and another one goes
And yet nothing has changed
Still Dead Silence on the train

The Whistle Sounds
The sound of a quarter hitting the ground

no one
reacts
it seems
there's no one
to ask

The scenery is changing
The sky is growing bluer
No more loose ends left hanging
You tied the knot then untied the knot
Now you wish you never knew her

But wait a minute this isn't one of those
types of songs
You've shared some great times together
And you were happy that she came along
But then the time came
When it was time for a change

The town was empty the streets were clear
As I found myself standing here
Everyone had retreated
Back to from whence they came
At least now I finally knew
Everybody by name

And we all got along just fine
Giggling and laughing
And Having a good time
Best friends 'til the end
Me, Myself and I

13 Waking up to a cold and breezy september morning
13 You feel uneasy without any kind of warning
13 Perhaps you had a bad dream that you can't remember
13 door in your mind burst at the seams you had to enter
9 Ghosts from your past are no longer trapped
9 And they are slowly gaining control
9 Skeletons from your closet now ask
9 Will you finally pay us what you owe?
9 Sleeping dogs have all begun to bark
9 There is just no avoiding this fact
9 Each day earlier the sky grows dark
9 Every night the sky becomes more black

The only face I see in the mirror
Belongs to me for it is my own
For the first time in a long time
I woke up all alone

Yet there was sunshine
Pouring in through the window
The morning started off cold
But it got better from there

It seems like a lifetime - ago
The last time I had found myself - here
I fought and beat my pride Made a deal with my ego
Now that My other half has disappeared

The town was empty and the streets were clear
Seems the whole world left me yet I'm not scared
Everyone had retreated back to from whence they came
At least now I finally knew everybody by name

And we all got along just fine
Giggling and laughing
Having a grand old time

Best Friends 'til the end
Me, myself and I

How many people know themselves that [crossed out] well

Tonight
I'm writing my last will and testament
For I've found myself caught in a battle again
Long after I fought for my country
I've found myself in a different war 12 But now I Find myself trapped in a different war
And so much has changed 12 so much has changed I'm not the same man I was before.
I'm not the same man I was before 12 and a flurry of scattered thoughts I sigh and close my eyes
And as I sigh I close my eyes
As I recall all the things that I now fight for

One, two, three... small children playing down at my feet 12
And my daughter who's all grown up and yet I never see 12
My dearest Helen who has always been there for me 12
My family has always meant the world to me 12
And my travel 12
Yet in my mind that seeks to go back through time 12
And select a somewhat different path 8
Collect and form new memories, not just look through old photographs 8
I have a heart that longs not to be apart 8
From someone I might not know if I walked past 8
The answers - I have none - so many questions I would ask 8
8/8 8

hello dear 12
My darling Roxanne how are you? 12 Every tear you've cried All the years that I have missed
Won't you take my hand and walk me through 12
All the years that I have missed 12 For so much I long to know I made a list
Your first steps, your first words, your first kiss 12
your first date

My darling Roxanne has this world been good to you 12
Have you found a passion in life - are you seeing it through 12
Won't you take my hand and take a walk with me 12
It is never too late to create a new destiny Fate - between us two we could mold a new destiny 12

My darling Roxanne everyday I've thought of you 12
Look behind the tears in my eyes - I speak the truth 12
I wish things were different - I wish I had 12 make things right
I'd have cooked you breakfast every morning - read you a story every night 12
My darling Roxanne 12
There's been 12 enjoyed this time with you 12
Countless conversations 12 dad 12 between us 12
Time and time 12 I've dreamed up 12 the words spoken were 12
And 12 myself - yet the same 12
angel, you know I love you...? Daddy, yes I do.

I'm writing
For I've [found myself trapped in a]
[before been sent into] battle again
I have suffered defeat and tasted victory
Long after [ever before I] [expect] [far] fought for my country
As I sigh [when] and then I close my eyes
As I recall all the things that I fight for...

One, two, three small children down at my feet
And My daughter's who's grown up yet I never see [with me]
My dear Helen whose always been [there] [to]
Certainly my family has always [been] the world to me

I wrote a letter to myself
But it was meant for Someone else

I'm writing my last will and testament

I have suffered defeat and tasted victory
Long after I fought for my country
Now I find myself in a different war
As so much has changed - I'm not the same man before
And I sigh I close my eyes now
As I recall all the things that I fight for...

One, two, three... small children playing down at my feet
And my daughter who's grown up and yet I never see
My dearest Helen who has always been there for me
Certainly my family has always meant the world to me

transition yet I have a mind that seeks to go back through
into somewhat a different path
danger and and [?] set old photographs
Collect new memories not just look
and form third longs not to be apart

I have a heart that I walked past
From someone I might not know if
The answers - I have none - so many questions
I would want to ask

questions My darling Roxanne my how are you?
Won't you take my hand and walk me through
All the years that I have missed
your first steps, your first words and your first kiss
this world
My darling Roxanne has been good to you
Have you found a passion in life are you seeing it through
Won't you take my hand and have a walk with me?
It's never too late to create a new destiny

When she smiles I frown
I picked her up, can't put her down
Within six months I'm leaving town
If I wanna move on I've got to move around

It seems like all my life it's been like this
I always find myself reliving our last kiss
Been a long time since she was mine and now she's his
And yet I just keep on watching all of the things I miss

So I wrote her off and then she sent me a letter
I took some time off hoping my heart would feel better

I walk the beach this summer's day
I can feel the sun but it's so out of reach
Do I want her is she the one
Questions asked while walking up and down the shore
Do I wait or has our time past?
Am I treading water in a motionless state?
Is she more mother or daughter?
Are those the same eyes I know - same as I saw before
She left me here and I'm so low
She's probably sitting home and she doesn't care
The ocean's blue, but not alone
We share this song I'm now writing for you
And the castle walls made of sand [crossed out: get trampled on]
And the rising tide ahead [crossed out: and] down fall
I'm still trying to understand
[crossed out text] she's trying to hide
Why you didn't call and still have [crossed out: to show]
[crossed out text]
Would I even recognize truth from lies?

[Left Card]
Because only when the people know can they resist.
Unfortunately it'll end up taking more than silent protest.
Some of us will die, yet still we must try.
Together we can form a fist.

[Center Card]
Listen closely wait for it here comes the plot twist.
Your only real fear are these global terrorists.
They'll add my name to their list when they hear this.
The spreading of information oh yeah they fear this.

[Right Card]
One card one chip one voice tells you what to do.
One false step, one wrong move - they'll be after you.

I won - the game is over now that
She'll come back to me
But while she decided and I never
tried to hide it I caught a taste
of other fish in the sea

I wrote your eulogy
got what I'll read
in my head
But the funny thing is
That you're not dead
Was it wishful thinking
or just planning ahead
Is this admissable
As evidence?
Both
What I wrote and
what I said.
