Life Colors

GRAY is the sea in a somber and choppy mood
BLUE is the twinkle in my eye when I am discovering life and breath around me
BLACK is the mischievous child that dances in all our brains
YELLOW is a sunflower boldly opening its eyes to taste and kiss the sun for the first time
GREEN is natures sprouting thoughts beginning to blossom and unfold to us all
RED is the anger I feel in my heart when I see a plastic bag wrapped around Americas neck polluting

Shadows

Shadows wax and wane here
Like a candle's slowly melting energy
My soul flickers
I am the firefly flying outside my bedroom window
Shadows wax and wane here

Yah, you're free

You think that gun makes you free?
Free only to kill
Only to see your morals corrupted
And your neighbors gone
You think the constitution makes you free to tote it around?
Out of sight, out of mind, out of public eye
Its not dangerous?!
Motherfucker
You see kids killing kids
Cause their parents kept a gun in the house
Look right into their dead, future lost, kid unseeing eyes
And then tell me your gun doesn't
Make the statue of liberty cry
A tear running down her face for every drop of blood shed
And tell that American society isn't out of control
Yah, your free to carry a gun
And after that, free to rot in a jail cell
Living with what you did
Cause the law let you have a gun
Yah, that's your right

America

Let the cleansing fires burn
And let the maggots lose to eat away at corruption
Let us restore her natural unpolluted beauty
To her
And let my America
Your America
FREE!
To be the American dream again

Gender is an Elephant

that sits on your living room floor
And its something you just can't ignore
You turn on the TV
Only to see
It there on the screen
Just like a really bad dream
In frustration you push out of home
Only to hear the next morning, right on the phone
Finally you gather your neighbors together with many a shout
And now that you have that clout
Don't be afraid- go on -
Shove that ol' elphant out!

What remains of Me

My dreams/Shrouded in despairs veil
Fluttering hopes/Laid to rest in deaths coffin
The mortician/Driving in the final nail
A black curtain/Descending in sorrows grace
This act/ Brings forth griefs wreath
To be tossed upon/My marbled tombstone
Shovel digging into earth/Portlands soil rains down
To cover/My wretched face
Buried here/Lies what remains of me
