Again Gone Lost - with audio

audio link 1

audio link 2

I am again
What I was once then
A meandering vine,
A Bedouin
Wandering through
From place to place
Not belonging
In any one space
Like a tumble weed
Blown along
In a black and white
Cowboy song
Long goes the way
But so short the occasion
A shepherd, not brave,
Yet sometime brazen
Having failed to speak
And then too much
A wayward boy
Again gone lost
Past and future
Ripped asunder
Gives the thoughtful
Soul to wonder
Life unreconciled
Strewn about
Synthesized in dreams
Of the heart

Blah Blah Blah - with audio

audio link

Blah Blah Blah turns the clock
Blah Blah Blah crows the cock

Lie, lie, lie all the more
A sea of hands toil and sell

In the soul
Tolls the bell

What the truth is
Who can tell

Ask the King o'r your head
When you lay thee down to bed

Government meetings
Solicitor pawns

Brokered beginnings
A new day dawns

Enforcers ride the tide
Money, fear, power, pride

Keep the sheep
Like shepherd dogs

From wandering down
Forbidden roads

Dumbfounded, downtrodden
Lowly, oppressed

Keep your heads down
The magicians know best

Scramble now, no not to rest
Please the parents in the nest

High above
In gilded Towers

Hoping below
For candied showers

Try to run
While they take and take

In this life
No escape

Hope then on
Kingdom come

Trembling those
Who hold the gun

There the dawn
Of Freedom's Sun

Birthing out eternity
Giving Death to tyranny

Bitterness gone,
Grapes trampled down

The fig tree blossoms,
Praises resound

Pour out now from the vine
A bouquet of sweetest wine
