Surrounded By War

Survival of the fittest is what it's about
While they were trying to fit in,
She looked for a way out
Will someone just tell her
What all this fighting is for?
It seems to be that she is
Surrounded by war.

Surrounded by war
Gunshots, night and day
Where the fighting persues
As she slips away.
Riding the train
Off into the night
A bit of serenity
A lifetime of plight.

She continues the journey
Year after bitter year,
It begins to look like the
Journey is clear.
Why all this pain?
Why choose with me?
She asks these same questions
For what seems like infinity.
All of this fighting, and
What is the fighting for?
Seems to her that we are
Surrounded by war.

Surrounded by war
You say that it's not the end?
Explain that quaint theory
My precious friend.
God says the higher your blessings
More hatred you'll endure
And this could be why
You're surrounded by war.
[Revelation 3:11-2, Matthew 10:32-38,  7:13-4,  11:15-21,  13:37-43]

Under Darkened Skies

Fade out
Give me my space
Let me choose my route
I still can't figure what the fighting is for
We are all that's left of our family
Why are we at war?

Take five
Maybe call back in ten
Because I'm not sure that
I can do this again!
I don't care if I lose you, if
That's what sets me free,
But take time to realize that I'm
Going to be me.

This is mine.
My journey, my life
My one chance to do it right.
But when I am not given freedom to
Think for me,
How do you expect results that
Would properly please thee?
C'mon now people,
It's time to live for me, and
Those three children
Who came out of me.

Quit trying to take what's rightfully mine,
My dignity, my freedom, my responsibility.
I've been silenced, forsaken.
Robbed of all but insecurity.

Thank you, world
For the hand I've been given
Violated by man, can't wait
To leave this world, to begin
Eternal living.

Scribes in the Night

She writes new scribes

Every night in her sleep

With so many thoughts 

Running through her mind

Who knows the time

Inspiration will strike?

During the sunlight of day

Or the darkness of night

Whenever it comes

Whatever it is

When the lines come together

It's time to get to business

As blood pumps from heart to veins

Simply keyed entries become titled compilations.

 

A mother by day,

Unscripted poet by night,

She will never forsake her

Written scribes in the night.

Pull Me Closer

I want to get to know you more

You're this figment of my imagery

That's why I want you to

Just pull up closer to me.

That distant stare in your eye

When you drift in thought

While singing that song

Makes me think of making love

To you all night long.

Let the groupies have their show

They can get you all ready

For the things they don't know

What happens between you & and me

Pack your stuff, c'mon boy, let's go

Club time is over, 

Pull that car over

Take me by my hips,

Ooh.. pull me closer.

Let's check out the moon light

It's reflection by the sea

Pull my body closer

Melt your hard flesh

Inside of me.
