Okay write a poem?
Um, I guess my mind is blown
I’m listening to voices
Doing things that aren’t my choices
Now it’s quiet
Okay not worth the riot
Okay write a poem?
Um, I guess my mind is blown
I’m listening to voices
Doing things that aren’t my choices
Now it’s quiet
Okay not worth the riot
Original Mamasita
Original Gangsta
Con todos mi corazon
You could always turn me on
With blues eyes
Beauty never lies
My dark-haired Sucubus
The future belongs to us
Sleepless nights
Setting shit right
Like me you have the mind, manic
For me you lead the path shamanic
Not always as she seems
Sometimes truly a fairy queen
The soul of butterfly knife
Beautiful wings a gateway of life
Original Gangsta
My lil Mamasita
She’s the Angel of Inglewood
Teaching me things no one else could
On the West-side of town
With her eyes deep and brown
Taking me places I want to be
Showing me better ways to be me
Teaching me to tolerate myself
Teaching me to go ahead and ask for help
She ever so quietly
Teaching me humility
Showing me my own humanity
Showing me the lies I tell to me
She says I’m not so bad
Thoughts I’ve had were had
They are not me never were
Just had to yell at the wall to know for sure
She is my confessor
A compassion professor
She’s my angel of Inglewood
The girl who showed me my good
As a theoretical engineering exercise
I was tasked to design a zombie killing device
Might as well be a resurrection machine
Wrong tool for the right problem, if you know what I mean
A zombie apocalypse is upon us
Their ignorance is simply beyond us
As they go to great pains
To shed our brains
With the karma the bought on TV
Or how much they love their SUV
Relentlessly jawing at your ear
With breath of smoke and stale beer
About that thing they saw in the cinema
Eyes rolled back like they’re a cow getting an enema
Their delusion of reference
Is a delusion in the value of reverence
I hit ’em with the HDT
No, I didn’t drop the V
It’s not a typo
but H D Thoureau
Even with his jaw all clenched up
I can hear him from the grave yelling, “Wake Up!”
So to avoid the attempted cranial depredation
I simply leave the buggers to their quiet desperation
He’s some kind of infantry stallion
10 feet-tall and loaded up with Valium
Well-medicated outside the wire
His hand’s steady, never holds the fire
They keep us all well medicated
While our free-will is being appropriated
We’re a pharmaceutical legion
Doped up beyond any kind reason
Just trying to stay numb
As we bake beneath the Iraqi sun
Everyone’s desperate to lose his senses
Eating up any pills that the doc dispenses
With our courage chemical
In our armored assault vehicle
We roll on down that desert road
Heedless to whether or not we explode
Chemically altered
We never really falter
Mindless drones
Like the Emperor’s clones
We take our medication
Practicing combat under sedation
It’s not a bad way to cope
At least if they give you some pretty good dope
I can’t complain
Luckily I’ve got this laser to help me aim
We just gotta hang on
Keep up the pills we’re on
We spend all day eating our nerves
The chemical cocktail that we’re served
When it’s all been done and said
At night when we’re alone in bed
At night when we can’t shut our eyes again
Then they’ll just give us some more Ambien
They keep us all well medicated
While our free-will is being appropriated
We’re a pharmaceutical legion
Doped up beyond any kind reason
Just trying to stay numb
As we bake beneath the Iraqi sun
I don’t mean to sound terse
But I just don’t do free verse
Don’t ask me to prove I’m smart
These lines are better played to the heart
The rules have long since been broken
So, adherence to the old-avante-garde seems a bit token
I preach to the masses
Not those who teach English classes
With meter and rhyme
Measured speech, imperfectly timed
I tell the tale of my times
With the names changed to mask our crimes
At the risk of sounding absurd
I stay approachable with the rhyming word
Relying upon my intuition
For my artistic inspiration
Confronting sublimity
Confronted by my own need for humility
Creating an artistic interpretation
Of natural phenomenon taken as my inspiration
A method as old as time
Telling my tales with rhyme
Oddly, I have been called a Romantic
My wife thinks realistically, that’s a point of semantics
She’s probably right.
A tale, perhaps, for another place and time
But, I’ll goddamn-guarantee it’ll be set to rhyme
That boy was born on third
Doesn’t know he’s a lucky turd
He’s a well-placed son
Thinks he hit a home run
When he’s brought home by a line drive
A sacrifice hit by a Latin-American guy
Back sitting with his team the turd talks
About the immigration views he learned on FOX
Your down with TPP?
Then you know less than me
Trans-Pacific Partnership
A Treaty of Corporate sponsorship
Stripping governments of the power to regulate
Making it illegal for people to protect there States
The treaty doesn’t give a fuck about you
It does care about corporations and lets them sue
Anyone who might affect future profits
So they can steal, pollute, or destroy your shit
Investor/State Dispute Settlements
To protect every fucking corporate investment
And no one can stop them
It uses courts outside of your nation’s system
To ensure corporate victory
Leaving the idea of freedom one for history
This is just one aspect
There are even more horrors, I suspect
The problem is we don’t know much yet
The players are negotiating this one in secret
Of course, the solution is not exactly hidden
The dummies writing the treaty only have the power we give them
So go on-line check your ignorance
Do it quick while we still have a chance
I can’t tell you how to change or destroy it
The most important thing is that we talk about it
Together we all decide
Don’t let your leaders hide
This will definitely cause Worldwide problems
Some so big we’ll have hard time trying to solve them
So go ahead and use your mind
Read up on everything you can find
As usual the way to improve this situation
Is through the liberal and persuasive use of education
Don’t worry we don’t need to be rattled
In the struggle this will be just one more battle
Write your governor or senator
Call your president or prime minister
Tell them not to be such a jerk
Tell them to get their ass’s to work
Tell them, if you’re down with TPP
You sure as fuck don’t represent me!
Oh little girl with your heart felt optimism
You really crave that I cover your face with my jism
You’ve been to school for a year or two
And your going to give us a perspective that so brand new
This shit has gone on for centuries
50 years ago you were the hippies
Soon you’ll get old
Your heart will get cold
You’ll want provide for children
You’ll consider things with stock options
Then of course will be the commute
And the sweat-shop made, mall-bought pants-suit
Soon your not really going to care
About things like justice and clean air
What’s more
You don’t know anything about war
Poverty?
To you it’s a mystery
You do have a lot of heartfelt emotion
But that’s like jerking off with lotion
You might like the way it feels
But that just doesn’t make it real
So little one, so bright and so optimistic
If you think I’m lucky to do this, go eat a dick
Remember the real lies
Forget to realize
Paradoxical equations
More than mental masturbation
Every lock’s got a flaw
Tis the Universal Law
Your personal key
That’s a secret to me
You’ve got to approach with what you’ve got
Your angels and your demons must throw in lots
Go, go, go, and go and see
You’ll find your personal key
You’ll make the connection
You’ll see there was no separation
You’ll “See the light”
You’re gonna be alright
Mama hugs each child real tight
You’ll finally rest peacefully each night
No more nightmares
Just a feeling that you really do care
For those of a more philosophical bent…
Though not advised, here’s a Devilish hint
Consider it a gift from a mouse
Who looks, curiously, like Faust
Not to be lame
But in this game
Sometimes a pick
Is just the trick
Every lock’s got a flaw
La Dee Dah Dee Dah…
