I cant take the amount of pressure i put on myself
it does not have to be this way
the struggle between time and pain
is inversely proportional
to happiness and comfort
i no longer hold in my thoughts the delusions
the idealic symbolism of society
that so many have learned to adapt
and some have mastered it to success
i soley realy on my lack of trust for humanity
and hold no one inocent
i dont think complaining would help
no one listens anyway!!

Standard Guarantee
.
Looking for Love and Respect
prove me im still wrong
oh yes..
standard guarantee
dont let them Bring you down
never let them take over
never let them cut it down
dont let them chop your dreams
whats yours will always be
as long as we are all Free.

Dont ask me to be strong
.
smell some hue on you
never knew if i could brake through
tragic is the life filled with standards
no one can see what i am afraid of
no one knows the truth
just walking on the street
and i know you will be gone
and i know i wont be strong
without you holding my arm
and shine will shine for you
wishing i was the sun
From this day i will moan
and when the moon comes
you wish i never left
and every day it gets more
so welcome to my pain
and i know i wont be strong
everything inside is gone
and i know you will be gone
dont ask me to be strong

paranoia striks deep
in to yur life it will creep
starts when you always afraid
step out of line
they will come take you any way
stop waht taht sound
everyopne lokk around
what going down

Back AgAIN
I was a highway man
around the culture road i rode
had an angel by my side
soldiers shared their blood with my blade
on the spring of 2005
but im still alive
i was a sailor
i was born to a broken home
in the sea i found life
i sailed the score of mexico
and when the water went crazy
they said i got killed in the sea
but im still living here
i always be around
i fly a star ship
across the universe i fly'
and when i reach the other side
i find a place to rest my spirit
perhaps i might be a highway man again
or i might be just a drop of rain
but i will be back again

change it up

surfs up and surf the platter
no i said love lasts forever
jesus come to me
just to be good
nights, drums and i hear the beat
as i shake my body
i feel the pain all around
watch the children
how can i dance like i dont care
i find myself involved
in all the peoples business
and thoughts are hard
when the family begs
stand strong
watching them shake your hand
why is the mother kissing my hand
beg for food not my world
change it people.. change it!!

the day

When the day is done
when the night has come
some get by and some get old
just to show how life is
when night is cold
when the birds fly
god knows i try
to call one my own.
when the game has been found
newspaper blown through the court
when the part is through
seem so sad for you
didnt do the things you meant to do
now there is no time
now that the day is done
the longer you wait
your smile will be gone

They asked
an old educator
highly regarded
diplomatic man..
what has been
the greatest accomplishment
of your life?
the old man
looked around as if
to hide his words
he whispher something
but no one could make a word
next, they asked him.
what has been your weakness?
the old man looked at the floor
turned around
looked at the sky
and didnt say a word
the educator
was hard to follow
almost a few people in one
they asked him one last question
at which he replied
I'm Done....
the interview was over
the old man came to the reporter
he said in a very clear voice
" sometimes age is not an indication
of who you are..
sometimes power is hidden
in things you cant buy..
it is true that i am old
and rich and successful
otherwise why would you
ask about me
but my greatest accomplishment
were few words..

The night has brought too many thoughts in my mind
such a hard day it was for some
i wonder if the silent ghost of the night
are aware of the time
the boogie man is no comparison to a bomb
the pain of glory
between wealth and power
has forever haunted our spirit on earth
for we no longer understand peace
the television gives me my views
as i watch children dying
as i watch mothers scream
on their dead husband
as i watch trains exlpode
as i watch buses exlpode
as i watch cities on fire
i must think there is better life then this
the moments of glory for the life time trauma
no one is guilty but the inocent
free the spirit of care
and spread the word of peace

i wish the silent nights would be
at the door of every child
i thought we were better then
killing our own kind
i wish the jungle of anger would stop
and all the lifes that are affected
allowed to heal
i thought from all this struggle
we learned from our past
i watch the news
i cant seem to feel the pain
the anger rise and fall
the dead soul in hell
lost from hope of death
they say a child
that dies in a mothers womb
from a bullet
that came throw the walls
its becaue the child
did not want to enter this world
they say poetry
is supposed to rhyme
but no one said im a poet
as i write these words
so goes my hope
and i still ask for Peace

The moment i saw her
i couldnt think of anything
better to say
other then
" dont you think we make a cute couple? "
for i gave chance no hope
i gave luck no time
i made sure i get her
i knew from the heart
she replied, i said yes
we set a date
we mate
months have passed
our love has grown
deeper then the fountain of hope
with her i feel
the breeze of life
the hard times
seem not so hard
she gives me confidents
makes me realize who iam
for that i owe her friendhip
to the end
she is my companion
A friend of a poet
she is the intellectual
the lover, you know it
when i walk by her side
i feel like a man
i want to scream
" she is mine!! "
but its well understood
nobody can sepearate us
we were meant for good

Get out
.
As i drove myself
in the heat of night
darkness was at full blast
yet traffic
was as if it was two in the afternoon
whats going on
i thought
where is the moments
that you spend with family
who are these people
i ask
thinking as i seat in trafffic
wondring why i left home
so complicated things can get
when you have to find a way
its not as easy as said
sometimes
finding love wont be enough
and yet another night
and the traffic gets worse
i have to get out of this place.

The sudden slam of the door
left a cold thought in my head
as i climb the stairs to my castle
i check by the village to see if i have bills
never fails, there all the time
broke to the box that i escape to rest
night will go so fast
wehn lack of sleep hurts your thouhgs
the anxious moment in the morning
i have a few more minutes
and the next thoughts the alarm goes off
what changed my ways
it was love.............
