Wake up Willie
Here he comes riding the fowl winds
Devouring the meek in his wake
His evil venom has penetrated
The seeds of the future now at stake
On the wings of the creature
The sickened ones cling
Eager to unveil
What the darkness will bring
The pungency of promise
Weathered stones on the shore
The gambit is decisive
Nature bends once more
Consumed by delusion
The fate of man at hand
He strikes down his brother
A death blow lands
The laws of nature crumble
The frozen fire flares
The winds of judgement
Have found irony’s snare
MWL 4-8-97
The Snare
It was a day
Like any other day
I carried the burden of ignorance
From where I lay
My shoulders broad
The weight now routine
Naive and unraveled
A pawn at the scene
Off to work
A rat on the wheel
Poverty’s sharp teeth
Snap at my heels
One last can of soup
My only meal
In Obama land
You learn to deal
It was a night
Filled with pain and remorse
Day dreaming of other roads
Should have taking another course
the worst of humanity
Out my window you can see
Lost souls’ demons and junkies
All trying to recruit me
2-26-97 and 11-13-19 MWL
The undetecable bells of freedom
Spanish moonlight
Dancing in your eyes
The desert wind
Tells no lies
The sands of time
Fall at your feet
In your arms I am complete
My heart knows
There is no retreat
In your arms
I am complete
I never thought
Wed come this far
Holding an angel
On a distant star
Only in dreams
could I imagine this
A joyful tear drop falls
And salts our kiss
Im not dreaming
You’re here with me
Our souls are swimming
In loves harmony
Pashion burning
Fire filled sky
For your love
I would die
The perfect day
An angel’s face
Infinite love
The beauty the grace
Every day every night.

In my canoe
just us two
We float down the river
The water so blue
We’ve got no problem
They can’t reach us here
and even if they could
We’d just have another beer
In my canoe
Just us two
We laugh and remember
All the things we’ve been through
We got no problem
They can’t reach us here
And even if they could
We’d just have another beer
In my canoe
Just us two
We’ve been out here all day
Yah we’ve had a few
We’ve got no problems
They can’t reach us here
I’m switching to soda
I’ve had to much beer

In My Canoe
I gave so much
My well went dry
I loved so hard
Now that loves gone bye bye
Maybe I’m crazy
I can’t hesitate
I’m taken it all back
There’s no time to wait
I sleep with one eye open
And the other half shut
It’s a shame to end it
But it’s time to cut
We had something
So long ago
But I’m here honey just to let you know
Im taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
Taking it all back
But my love honey I’m taking it back
It’s been a long time coming
It’s way over due
I should have known better then to fall for you
I’m taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
Taking it all back
Don’t cry money I left you a stack
But my love honey I’m taking it back
It’s been a long time coming
It’s way over due
I should have known better then to fall for you
I’m taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
I’m taking it taking it back
Taking it all back
Don’t cry money I left you a stack
But my love honeys I’m taking it back
It’s been a long time coming
It’s way over due
I should have known better then to fall for you
MWL 4-27-93
Taken it back
This is the end of our love
I’ve tried everything I can think of
You give no reason for your change of heart
The only thing I know is that it’s tearing me apart
This is the end of our love
My dreams come crashing to the ground
Is its new love that you’ve found?
The feeling gone
No need to pretend
Now I have no place
For all my love to send
This is the end of our love
Was it me what have I done?
Give me a reason
Please give me one
If I’m to walk away from this love
Just one reason why
This is the end of our love
Ill pack my bags and go far away
Your eyes are dead
You’ve got nothing to say
All we shared was a masquerade
Everything’s gone what remains is just pain
The bitter end
The final scene
The last page
the guillotine
This is the end of our love.
MWL 1995
The End
Sally was just a little babe
Seems like yesterday
Her daddy not known
Her mother never home
It was the hard way
It was the hard way from the very first day
Sally was taken in by the state
A prison for a child that lay in wait
This is where she learned of hate
Waiting like a puppy in the pound
But we could tell where Sally was bound
It was the hard way
It was the hard way from the very first day
Soon sally came of age
Her heart full of rage
Another line another page
Collecting scars and wars to wage
Sally meet all kinds of friends
Selling her soul for a lump of coal
Then one night she lost control
It was the hard way
It was the hard way from the very first day
Sally’s probation was a mess
Day after day
Arrest after arrest
She was running out of time
One more nickel one more dime
It was the hard way
It was the hard way from the very first day
Sally’s eyes once were blue
Were now distant and gray
Like the pitiful city that put her away
She did her time then did some more
Then the good state opened the doors
It was the hard way
It was the hard way from the very first day
Sally was now old and without a home
Her senses have left her all alone
No place to run no place to hide
Sleep in the streets
Your pillow is your pride
It was the hard way
It was the hard way from the very first day
Sally is not alone
There thousands in this city without a home
All just trying to survive
Living in the middle of a burning bee hive
It was the hard way
It was the hard way
It was the hard way
From the very first day
Winter came and took Sally away
She couldn’t make the grade
Couldn’t hide from the killing blade
Of the city
The hard-hard city
It was the hard way
It was the hard way
It was the hard way
From the very first day
MWL 5-18-93
The Hardway
The king lay bleeding in the fields of discontent
His armor all rusted
His sword dull with resent
He fights back the tears
That well in his eyes
Fate has many faces
Today it’s in disguise
Love was his shield
That muffled the proof
To close to see
The undeniable truth
Not for love of a woman
But for the love of need
He waged war on her demons
But it is he who now bleeds
The king stands alone
No kingdom left to rule
His fist clenched with bitterness
For he’s been played the fool
Wisdom has now embraced him
With scars from this siege
Pinned upon his soul
the weight of one deceived
now the king at a cross roads
he must choose a course
wisdom is his saddle
destiny his white horse
time will pass
and pain will subside
the words of the liar
will always be by his side

The King
Talk is cheap
Rumors gather fools
The ignorant rely
On lies for tools
People it seems
Don’t want the truth
Just give me the facts
Give me some proof
I read the papers
I’m telling everyone your all victims
Of (UFO’s) unfounded opinions
I watch the TV
I hear all the talk
Sell those cans of coke
Get a piece of the rock
UFO’s is all for sale
It’s flowing free in the streets come grab a pail
UFO’s is all that it is
It’s a big business baby
It’s a big big Bizz
Did a brick fall from the sky
You believe your ears before you believe your eyes
Your being suckered and spoon feed lies
Its all a game of spin
And you’ll never know why
UFO’s unfounded opinions -UFO’s tell me something I don’t know
UFO’s your just another Pinocchio clone -UFO’s how long will it grow
Did a brick fall from the sky
You believe your ears before you believe your eyes
Your being suckered and spoon feed lies
It’s all a game of spin
And you’ll never know why
MWL 4-97
UFO's
Where do you come from?
These dreams of violent nature
Shake when when I’m fast asleep
Scam the nomenclature
Outside on the surface
The grass is growing fine
I seem a peaceful spirt
One that is of sound mind
But when the shroud of darkness
Comes crashing in my bed
A volcano of emotion
Erupts in my head
There are two sides to a story
There are two sides to a day
There are two sides to the man I am
There are just too many ways
I often bite my tough
To dull the sensation
Of a warrior’s mind going blind
Flotation in stagnation
Dreams of war have left me
A soul less then free
Burdened and confused
A sad soliloquy
MWL 1995
Two Sides
I see the vampires walking in the rain
A cloud of death follows them
They hunger for your pain
Todays vampire are of a different strain
They don’t drink blood
They don’t turn into bats
they don’t run from crosses
No, their none of that
Todays vampire is selling crack in the streets
He has no reflection for all he does
Hoping to capture the souls of the weak
Looking for a buzz
He’ll suck the life out of you to make a buck
When you swim in his pond, you’re a sitting duck
Today’s vampire
The evilness grows silent and quick
And if you’re not careful he’ll have you turning tricks
Dancing for the demons
In the joyless rhythm of your broken heart
Today’s vampire
Squeezes till your gone
An empty vessel
A shadow of once upon
Today’s vampire
Today’s vampire
MWL 1995
Todays Vampire
The hardness in my heart has softened
The young man’s rage all gone
My defenses I’ve let down some
My weapons lay rusting on the ground
I’m vulnerable
To the seasons
They’ve changed me can’t you see
I’m a stone on the beach
The waves they have shaped me
I’m a citizen of society
My heart
I wear on my sleeve
I’m so vulnerable
I do believe
I’m vulnerable
To the chances
I’m vulnerable
To the sky
I’m vulnerable
To the river
I’m vulnerable
Fear waits in my eyes
