Stolen Words
Respice post te! [Look behind you]
Hominem te esse memento! [Remember that you are human]
Memento mori! [Remember that you will die]
- Tertullian (145-220)
Nací como el lirio en el jardín, [I was born as a lily in the garden]
y ansí fui criado, [and like the lily I grew]
y como vino mi edad envejecí [as my age advanced]
y como había de morir, [I became old and had to die]
así me sequé y morí. [and so I withered and died.]
- Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, 1471/1472
You do not know why you kill me, [Vosotros no sabéis por qué me matáis]
but I know why I'm dying: [pero yo sí sé por lo que muero]
For your children to be better than you! [¡Para que vuestros hijos sean mejores que vosotros!]
- Ramiro de Maeztu y Whitney, October 29, 1936

Ya Do It
What else ya gonna do with ya life, son?
Make Art until the day I die, hon.
I say -
How else you think that I should live my life, Huh?
Do It All The Time Until It’s Right On.
Just Do It every day.
Kill it all the time,
If you love your days.
You can get through things just fine!
You do It.
You do it.
You do it.
When you think back in your life to all the good times,
Do you see your legendary life lines?
We all come through in circumspect in your own mind -
Waiting for the day - observing our own crimes.
Just Do It every day,
Kill it all the time.
Me and all my friends
We get through things just fine.
We do it.
We do it.
We do it.

The Middle Way
My papa told me,
something special long ago,
See the pasture -
out there just beyond the poles?
If you’re in it,
something happens, heaven knows,
Just remember how it goes.
You gotta find the Middle Way
You gotta find the Middle Way
The buddha spoke,
something from along ago,
And even though
you know that you already know,
When it shows,
I know nothing not at all,
And still when you are called.
You gotta find the Middle Way
You gotta find the Middle Way
I was lost,
fearing I’d never be found,
Then I saw,
Something that was on the ground,
While I read,
The forest didn’t make a sound,
And then I knew how I’d get out.
You gotta find the Middle Way
You gotta find the Middle Way
Bright
Beauty is only skin deep,
but I try to show
What is at the bottom
of this ever loving hole
When I chime of tomorrow
I try to watch my words
Our voices have such power
You don’t need to be heard
But I’ll scream from the rooftops,
and I’ll jump from the trees,
cause I don’t wanna be part of,
these earthly kinda needs,
And I’ll live in the rafters,
and I’ll fly through the air,
But ground when I need to,
cause I’m still living here.
And I’ll Shine
So Bright
With You
Desire is at the bottom
of the problems that we have
Acquire things, try to solve them
Cause we don’t like feeling sad
When I meet your sorrow
I might borrow, but make you feel
Our love has so much power
Give it all and be healed
Janitor Generation
Human Suffering
Unalienable Rights
Knowledge
Freedom
We are the Janitor Generation,
Didn’t make the mess, is what I’m saying.
Now we gotta clean it up and do it,
With a smile in our eyes!
We are the Janitor Generation,
And we don’t even get - no vacation,
The janitor generation, To survive!
Climate Change
Wealth Inequality
Famine
Disease
Were you just partying to the end of the world?
If it’s fucked anyway, why try and stop it?
War
Greed
Enchantment
Level my third eye
I'll disguise our evolutionary circumstance
With my reproductionary dance,
Break the trance when you realize
No one stands with Lucy when she's
Sky high.
Just think, I might try
A little harder, no hero, no martyr,
No sadder satyrs tale
Than the other part her father
Enchants, then leaves
Goodbye.
Destructive discretionary
Fearful February
A range of politicians
kept in cages -
more white than Barry,
How can you eat free,
when they aren’t around
for you and me?
Everything that is creation and destruction
Everything that is it is your own construction
Everything that is everything too,
All-of-the-tools that-are on-the-earth that-build
Destroy us too.
And all of the things
that we create
will destroy
hate.
Let’s Not (And say we didn’t)
I said with a smile as a joke,
Wouldn't it be funny if we were both,
Pulled along moving at the speed of sound?
You turned just as I said it,
If I were a gambler, I would bet it,
With a hush in your tone and a sly in your grin.
We saw black flag blow across,
I said look at that albatross,
It must be a sign of things to come?
You said I'm a carefree spirit,
And I don't really wanna hear it,
I'm hitching on the next ride out of here!
Then a Hurricane rolled on by, we climbed aboard and held on,
We're headed for the sky, drop me off at the sun,
C'mon don't stop there, we've only just begun,
On a ride headed nowhere.
I'm at a crossroads 10 years on,
I asked someone to borrow a phone,
She handed me a sheet and started a fire.
I tried to thank her for the help, but,
She told me I was stuck in a rut,
I'm giving you what you need to call back home.
I was about to help her out,
I had to see what she was on about,
But I turned around to See that She had gone.
So, I just lit the sheet ablaze,
When the wind began to raise,
It was high time for my ride to come in!
Hurricane rolling by, climb aboard and hold on,
We're headed for the sky, drop me off at the sun,
He said we don't stop there, cause we've just begun
On a ride headed nowhere.
~
Now it's counting machines and better,
That replaced the lonely letter.
And the whole world's changed since I've been gone.
But I promise I will find you,
Oh my darling, I'm right behind you,
And we'll meet up when we get back home:
~
Hurricane rolling by, climb aboard and hold on,
We're headed for the sky, drop me off at the sun,
He said we don't stop there, cause we're not done,
On a ride headed nowhere.
Oh! Hurricane rolling by, I climb aboard and hold on,
You said you're headed for the sky, drop me off at my home,
He said we don't stop there, But I'll stay all alone,
On a ride headed nowhere.
5-1 to Freedom
(The Ice Cream Song)
I watch the stars and planets spin
around the globe and wonder when
we’ll be okay.
And when a plane goes by,
that’s when I’ll wonder why,
we’re apart - that’s when I start
that’s when I
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Your Name
And so you know what I’m about,
If I am rich or down and out,
the music is the same
And if you like it so, you can
add your own name to mine and then
we’re gonna ride this train
because,
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Your Name
Please understand, if I give up on you, that’s all I had,
I’m nothing but a samurai,
But now I find myself a ronin,
And nothing anymore is going to plan,
this is what I find.
And I’ve played the only cards I’m holding.
But still,
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Ooh Ooh, I Scream
Your Name
Is it clear what I fear,
or am I creeping.
Do you know what I need,
or what I’m feeling,
Should I go?
Should I stay?
Do you need me around?
Can we run?
Far away?
Could we even leave the ground?
And no, I don’t know
where we’re going.
Or if, I should be,
fasting or slowing.
What’s your name?
Where’re ya from?
Where’ve ya been?
Cause in Ten
Thousand years,
They’ll be singing
Fighter
Metaphysical with our metacarpals.
Motivation, keep me sharp.
You'll gaze all in amazement light the fires as we soon depart.
The interactive sympathetic,
don't forget the whim, you bet it,
never did get that new bed,
and now I try, to:
Adjust my tie as i decry.
All the times I spied and lied,
Some other time, I'll find the rhyme,
To cross that line as I,
wallow in the irony,
to find my new design in me,
but now I just initiate it! I'd be
honored if you let me take it, home,
I'm writing this on my phone,
You will never be alone,
and trust that I mean that when I say it,
They speak truth but you cliche' it.
If I knew it too,
how could i show you all the way,
if you
help me while you follow me,
and when they come and swallow me, whole:
Mind, Body and Soul!?
You’ll know.
(break)
cause i got a:
A marijuana carousel, spinning in my mind,
Pedestrian equestrians, snorting evil lines,
Let us roll free, and see, the times, they're changing like before,
Never thought at all that you would need me so much more,
Than I would ever, try forever, want myself to be,
Let me here with all my thoughts, I rhyme, so you will see,
I'm a stranger in a familiar place,
ripping a hole in time and space:
a stitch in time saves nine, its fine:
you've won the human race.
So let me in your ears,
and we'll see if I can find,
A subject in poetry worthy of your time,
and keep in mind my mind I mind, I,
Never do know what will come out my mind's eye.
Just be
Don’t worry bout the coming day,
You just need to look inside.
I’ve heard you carry quite a tune,
My soul feels so revived,
Such a wicked little town
Your life, it will be so Alive.
If you listen to my words
My friend, He said
Just be Bowie,
Just be Bowie,
You would make it through the day,
Prob’bly thinkin’ you’re okay,
Cause you’re Bowie,
Just be Bowie.
Live as though you’re simple,
Try to find the whitest dove,
Understand on the darkest day,
That blue bled through from above.
Try to listen to our journeyed words,
And Your love, will be so, in love
If you hear the words I mean
My Son, She said -
Just be Prince,
Just be Prince,
Even-If you-were the-Art-ist
for-mer-ly known
You were Prince!
Just be Prince.
We sat on the whitest cloud,
Talking for a time,
Our shared and solo hollows,
dares we’ve walked on the line.
You are who you are,
And who you are is fine.
If all you take from me
My boy, He said -
Be Yourself
Be Yourself
As broken as you are
You’ll never be,
Anyone else.
Be Yourself.
Be Yourself.
Just be you.
Just be you.
You’re Revolution
I’ve been writing these songs for far too long,
Praying all these words don’t write my wrongs,
Open up my chest and profess, Spill it on the page
Trying to help my people and they be, “Fool - You should act your age!”
Now What’s Next?
What’s Next?
Next?
Tell me do you sense the vibrations?
Everything we say and do mere physical sensations
Did you remember to love?
I think it's thing that we need to give the most of
Or do we just feel it’s unreal?
Is that the reason why we feel our lives should unveil!
Now I’m just stuck in time -
Feeling all the energy that’s powering my mind.
I’m a 44th dimensional being
trapped in this 3rd mortal world.
Vibrate until the tomorrow,
Catch the portal up 41 twirls.
We just shine until our vibrates,
Straight Resonates with the stars,
That’s why, at times, my sigh aches:
Recognized what lies behind
tomorrow.
Your Revolution,
Your Mind,
Your Revolution,
Your Mind.
You’re Revolution
You’re Mind.
You are Revolution
You’re Mind.
The Twenty-Two
Show me a door to open,
I'll blow it off the hinges,
I come from the fringes,
You can tell that he meant this,
It took a nation of millions,
in slaughter,
their sons and their daughters
Oppressed because of
mothers and fathers.
Thought crime, now they got you serving time,
Police will come calling, there's no stalling,
They blow in like sandy, adrenaline handy,
Ready to blow a hole in another human soul,
well that's dandy.
Incite a riot, fight the highest,
Try this,
Beat on for size,
And close your eyes, the lies have begun,
Said the fortunate son,
To the unfortunate ones,
Guns held, at the ready,
Rock steady, we are heading
In a direction,
A Kent State resurrection,
A reflection of the insurrection,
The people give their blessing,
To god and to gold,
it all has a hold,
To the bold human soul,
So I just say no.
Why do we wax on track after track,
I stack another rack of words,
On top of these verbs,
To get you out of the burbs,
The sprawl, the cause of it all.
I find this,
The mindless, the ravenous,
We're zombies, We're after this, searching
To set our souls burning,
Yearning for a brain, a heart, and some
Courage,
It's nourish your body boom bap,
With an elemental clap,
To help with the mental nap.
So wake up the head,
and head for the border, in order
to keep sanity,
that was my plan b,
Fuck a Grammy,
I want Change.
That's why I came,
I can't stand the order,
of the people we choose to support us.
I order the people
To do what the people
did before us.
The Bald Eagle,
The Eye of Horus.
Open the doors or implore us,
but I swear you won't ignore us.
This is our day like Doris.
Sedate me to find the rhyme,
the will, the reason or time,
Never said it'd be easy,
I dine in hell with angels,
Seraphim lettered in sketches of
let me be frank - Gehry, married in mind,
Tear me from the edge.
The sign of the cross, the pledge,
My allegiance is to mankind,
Time served, my bittersweet verve,
A reso, hooked on, tell-a phonic, symphony.
Just mention me
to the gods when you pass,
I grasp as straws elude my fingers,
I gasp my last as the smoke lingers,
Call me back from the front,
I stunt not, I want not,
I face not, I chase not a dream,
but a memory.
And, I will stand my ground,
As the winds pass me around,
Of change, of time.
I'm dope and doped,
Just to cope with the wisdom
That we are all alone.
Comb my lines,
in your free time,
Try to remind yourself of what was,
Through my filter, I give love,
As I rise above and get past the past,
if only it would last,
My mast stands tall,
I'm setting sail fast this fall.
And that's all she said to him,
The wind will never blow again.
Cloud City
It all happened in mourning
I stepped out in the ocean
Looked for my ride
Made of hope and devotion
Careless whispers sink armies,
I’m the solo voice that cries
It doesn't matter if you can fly
Because the streets are full of sky
Oh yes the streets are full of sky
Can you see those streets mystified?
I never ever said goodbye
Once the streets were full of sky
Fellowship has it’s memories
heart and soul and the oath
No designer desire
Cash your hopes to devote?
Dwell on beauty and body,
It’s okay to die,
Promise me that you’ll ask why,
Once the streets are full of sky.
Spinning
The rain, the rain,
It feels my soul,
It falls, it falls,
And heals my whole.
The third rock,
And we roll,
Down and spinning
And tumbling and falling
To the flow.
Fingers in the river of time
Crashing on the interstellar coastline
Flying over mountains in minds
Caught in the spiral up and to the outside
Soldier On

My Life’s Ambition
A conviction for the future,
And more decisions, leave these

Happily for we.

So us all can be free.
