Tenth Compilation of Poetry

Moral Majority II
The moral majority is so fond
Of the violent, sexual adventures of James Bond
But if they saw that same show
Go down in the ghetto
They'd judge and condemn
Pointing their finger at them
Using any means to feed the poor is good
As long as you're named Robin Hood
But Big Tobacco
Runs the show
Puts in place the politics and police
In a perpetual process that won't cease
As the police jail every man selling weed
As millions die every decade to tobacco's greed
Sex, violence and drugs are alright if you're rich
But not if you are living in a ditch
You can destroy the ecosystem with your cigar
And your imported sports utility car
But the poor can't fight to survive
As the rich moral majority kill to strive

The Turtle
Although I didn't know her too well
I know my mother left me protected by a shell
When I hatched I found no feather or fin
Just another shell I fit in
I am too slow and too dense
To come to my own defense
I have no mom to look after me
I'd be lucky if I made it to the sea
My only comfort is I can always dwell
Protected inside my shell

The Time Is Gone

The time is gone
No more time to relax for fun
No work is done
No time to sit I have to run
No more sitting by
Enjoying life as time would fly
And without a warning cry
The time and me are going to die

Poetry No 9 No 9 No 9 No 9

Mrs. Self-Righteous

You'll never know the battles I've fought
You judge others based on when they were caught
Aren't you ever aware
That your eyes aren't everywhere
You aren't the standard by which we measure
You have no right to bring on the pressure
Do you see the rafter in your eye
Others like you would at least have the guilt to cry

Social Play

Shut up and play your part
We don't want to unlock your heart
It doesn't matter if friendly bonds set us free
Casual indifference makes friends in society

To Brittany Gray
You are my shining hope my star
That I can only love from afar
A distant love unable to attain
Still I look for your favor to gain
I look to you to make my lonely nights bright
To no other star could I ever take delight
I look straight to you piercing through the hazy sky
Past the uncertainty that lay before my eye
Knowing I'd never have a chance
I must love you from a distance
But even as the clouds fog my view
Your heavenly beauty keeps shining through

Volume 6 Poetry

The Show
I need to be loved, I need to be kept warm
So I need to blend in with "norm"
Which requires me to transform
So please allow me to get into character before I perform
Forced in an unfamiliar world to fake shape and conform
Pardon me, but it's time for the show
Got to keep my personality on the down low
It's not the one the crowds' come to know
Everything's fake even before the first hello
But if you want to make friends this is how you go
Despite the friends I lack
You and I can't make a pact
If deceiving is a sin then so is this act
There is no disputing that fact
So all polite insincerity I'm forced to take back

Moral Majority
The Moral Majority
Established its authority
By the power of a gun
It became second to none
Now they keep on telling
Screaming, forcing and yelling
For us to be for what they are for
Self-righteously declaring war
Free to be
Whatever they expect of me
To choose between preaching and practicing celibacy
To be racist offended by jokes that are racy
Letting corporate and special interests buy out democracy
Making the error of every man's rule so easy to see

A Year Looking Back

9/11/01-9/11/02

We must not go into revolution
Peace starts with self-resolution
And finding fighting isn't the solution
To our social mental physical or moral pollution
Everybody has their own notion
On stopping the commotion
Looking for the magic potion
To calm the unsteady ocean
Everybody is in pain and oppression
The world is stunned with depression
Looking for answers in the path of aggression
Putting their pain in repression
We all do all that we can
To look for the plan
That will liberate everyman
But who has the right to reprimand
We are all causalities and causers of oppression
Building support by dividing the natural human nation
Although we seek to call our neighbor our friend
How will this injustice end?
(Daniel 2:44)(Isaiah 2:4)(Revelation 21:3,4)(Matthew 6:9-11)(Ecclesiastes 9:11)
