Beauty came by and by

I would sit all day content among the poet of yore
Drunk off poetries sweet passion
The forgotten language of love no longer spoken on silver singing tongues
but beauty came by and by and said
I never die

Can you spot the non-haku

Fall gently cool rain
For I am fragile to
Wash away my tears

Rooster cooing soft
Lulling hen to gentle sleep
Greeting the gold dawn

The first to greet me
silver dawn knocking for me
Sweeping away all night

Does morning morn
for its lover the night
Does the sun long
to caress the sweet moon
in a lovers swoon

Hands signing beauty
Lips remain silent
Love does not need speech

Demockracy

The only part of democracy america follows is 'mock'
Priests abusing little kids and not being defrocked
Blood shed in the name of love for god?
Stop preaching that bullshit dawg
The day will come
all of us will have to take responsibility for what we've done
So don't look for answers in the heavens above
Look inwards and you'll find the answer is love
There should be brotherhood not war
I don't get what all the killings for
There's no such thing as infidels or hell
But there's gonna be a fall of governments
Its written in cement
How do you own people or land?
It's something I just can't understand
Imagine not trampling on your fellow to get ahead
And no need for blood to be shed
The end of material greed
Everyone turns to smoking weed

Summer dog days

Spring is born madly in each robins rouge breast
And every crow drunk on thievery's success
Corn not yet shucked lies still in husk bed
Squealing hogs await being fed
Cloven hoofs earth a-tramp
The sun a shining lamp
Summer dog days
Twitching tails keep flies at bay
As farmer put bandanna to brow
Calf stands in shade of mother cow

Lea

If you ever find love lost
so in your sleep you turn and toss
I will look for it again amongst the faries ken
Overturn ever rock, ask every flock to sing your praise till the end of days
Search every fallen star near and far
And if necessary I deem to steal into every dreamers dream until I find your peace of mind
Well I'll search ever cranny and nook
Look and Look
Until on eagles pinion you soar up into the sky
By and by
You'll find an open door
There's what your looking for
Stand in the lea/leigh (clever pun on my name)

Heavens Cradle

If I could present you with a gem, no bit of coal would suffice
In a thrice I would coax the jewled moon from heavens cradle
I would juxpose galaxy star bright to spotlight on thy countenance
so enshadowed night woul ne'er sin by darkening your door again
And if for knowledge you thirst
Count me among the first to unroll Alexandria's lost scrools
And if sleep is fleeting in a noble heart so beating I would petion Posedion until ocean waves sing in soft lulls

The harlot

I got a rhyme stuck in my head
I gotta speak it out, let it be free to be the best rhyme it can be
Cause in this country freedoms nice but it comes with a price
You gotta be a rich yuppie living on the backs of the poor
Sleeping indoors
Otherwise, you're not allowed to be a human being
Do you see the injustice that I'm seeing?
If the cops see you spit or a cigarette butt flicked
They're gonna make some charges stick
They'll load you in the back of a squad car
Land you behind bars
The judge will listen to you beg and plea
Lock you up and throw away the key
To Uncle Sam I'll raise my middle finger in salute cause I don't give a hoot
Damn the man and his evil plans
I do what I can cause I'm not a fan of tyranny and opression
Man, just listen to what the CIA's confessing
America the whore is beating a path to our front doors
It's not like she's doing what she hasn't done before
Filling your big screen tv with violence and gore
Fuck the lies printed by the media and Wikipedia
I won't stop dropping lines
Until kids stop getting blow up by mines
I won't stop until the harlot is brought to knees
to beg and plea
The more time goes by, the more it makes me wanna cry see the star and stripes run red see all the war dead
I don't know bout you but I'm fed up with the corrupt system america runs, I'm done!
So join me, we'll tear down every skycraper, every wall, evey mall,
And watch greed fall
Wealth will belong to all not none
And the world will be one!
