Twelve Bar Lil

Sweet Lilly Larnie
plays the blues away
she plays a three quarter strat
like B.B King plays Lucille

She plays the twelve bar blues
like nobody else can
she plays a blues lick so fast and quick
it makes you sick

She's twelve bar Lil
the three quarter strat Queen
you wouldn't believe
she's only three

For my Daughter Lilly, who's now four.

Abuse

Should people tell
when they know something is not right
should people tell
when they know it for a fact

Should they turn a blind eye
like most people do
or should they tell what is true

Is it a case of
how many secrets
how many lies
how many victims
how many die
because people turn a blind eye

Tell someone today
don't let the victims pay

Coma

As I lie in my comatosed mind
I hear voices with no eyes
All I see is darkness
with mixed images of my life

Oh lord
oh angels
feel my plight
stop this darkness
give me light
let me love with all my heart

As my eyes open
and my heart starts beating
I'm back with the living

I see the angels smiling
watching over me
now I know I'm home and free

Unwritten Soul

Unwritten soul
Is my kind of man
Or is he a woman
Unwritten will never tell

When i'm feeling down
Unable to stop the frown
I think of unwritten
And the smiles
The soul gave to me

I'm your friend
I'm your brother
I will always respect you
For the smiles
And the poetry
You gave to me

I send this
With my love my friend

Time Machine

I was born in 1838
I built a time machine
in my head
I traveled faster
than the speed of light

I landed in 2008
I saw a world
that had been torn apart

I tried to go back
to tell them
what they would start
but my mind wouldn't let me
it had Fallen apart

Now I have to stay
in a world torn apart
by the wars and the shams
they call the greed of man

Stars In The Night

I see the stars
in the night
When will they come
and be our light

Show us the way
to a better life
Show us how
to live our lives

Stars in the night
Show us your light
Guide us to the
promised land

Stars in the night
We need your light
We've had millions of years
to get it right
If we can't do it now

Memories Of Hope

A twilight zone of hope,
of memories of the past
come flooding across a sea of doom

Maybe it's because
I was only nineteen,
I don't know but...

I don't remember war
I don't remember hate
I don't remember violence on our streets
All I remember is love for my fellow human

A twilight zone of hope
of memories of the past,
Maybe it was just a dream

A True Poem About Drugs

I know a girl
who jumped out of a window
because she couldn't
have a fix

She broke her back
and her dignity
Lost her kids
and her dealers run away

I know a girl
who told everyone she was rich
so they would lend her a fix

They'll be calling
for their money today
I bet there's nobody there

She'll be somewhere else
giving someone else

A Travelling Man

A travelling man
is a proud man
he'll fight for his family
he'll fight for his pride

He'll look after his own
like nobody else will
he'll keep them safe
when they need him the most
he'll never turn his back
on his family or pride

Where ever he stays
that's his home
until he moves on
to pastures new

Sometimes my friend
I wish I could travel
with you

Rise From The Dead

There's a ghost coming
a ghost from the past
he's coming for justice
the justice he shoud have had
the justice he should have seen

The powers that be
would not let him rest in peace
they took and they took
until he had nothing left to give

On the last day of october
he will rise again
to put right the wrongs
and live his life again

The ghost is coming
