I pray to the lord my soul to keep
full ink pen clean sheet to write on
how can I possibly wake up
when I refuse to go to sleep
too much noise keeps me company
so much sadness has befallen me this
past year head & shoulders no tears
to much crying sucks up energy
need strength to overcome enemies
taking time careful not to waste
one single moment on fallen in love
show me the blood call me a skeptic
I'll believe when I see 'em bleed
a second opinion maybe a third
up in the library doing research
a truth believer don't need church
marked on a stone third degree
burns hot like chemicals in perms
on a petri dish to see the germ
turning over soil looking for worms
ain't no turning down the volume
the movements on full blast
Buffalo Soldiers rise up walk
across lawns of the upper echelon
soul on ice blood in my eyes of all
the pain felt and seen in a whole
lifetime changed channels enough
to tell you there's nothing on TV
co creator and mind of a menace
dinners not done until the cooking
is finished set the table covered in
fine linen imagine all the people
RIP John Lennon "O Say Can You See"
in 13 octaves only an angel can sing
false flags hanging half staff
hard to get back to the future
still stuck in the past it's the same
sum no matter how you do the math
by the dawn's early light
