A True Liberator


(listen to the Spoken Word Mix)

A tribe of innocents
Lead to the pulpit
Believing in the ghost
To rise up

But a metal sword
Comes dancing through the fire
Cuts them all…
Blood Red Bleeds
The first step to amortize one self
Into the system

I imagined a freer world
I imagined her by my side
I see no one here now
I must go off to fight a war
Try to find a way to defeat this common god
The one that doesn't keep his promises
The one that vexes me against my neighbor
Therefore I refuse to raise the gun

No bullets will collide with flesh
No rips in fabric will come
From anything I point at
Not from here on out
I am free from fear
Free from the fear of no salvation
I refuse to kill a single soul
Under any name
Under the sun
Under any god

I realize now
The system cannot be overcome
I can only shoot at so many disobedients
Before I find myself behind the mask

I must be an investigator
Collect the evidence
Repel the false bullshit
But if I do
I don't have to tell someone
I don't have to energize your spirit
I don't have to start new religion
I don't have to be documented
For you to ever get a clue
I don't have too become a new messiah
I refuse to do that
Not for me
But for you

A true liberator
Does not need to live forever
Is not a he or him
Not male or female
A true liberator does not need to live forever
Does not need a castle
A cross
Or a icon
To show off to the masses
A true liberator
Is just an idea
Something inside someone
That is searching for the truth
A true liberator
Is deep in our spirit
And I don't mean
Deep in a church on the corner

I can smell this freedom
If you can smell
You have not found it

I can hear the freedom
If you can hear
You have not found it

I can see the truth
If you can see
You have not found it

I can be the truth
If you can be without fear
You can be where I am

If I pass this torch to you
Don't forget to pass it on
To someone else
You don't own it

A true liberator
Does not need to live forever

mule-sheep obedient

There is no wall
That can't be assaulted
With a few maneuvers
We can rule this world
But not with emperinated tyrannies
No one man shoe with all those
Clubs for rich men
With so much money
No on even thinks they could exist
There they are right in front of you
Telling you what they are doing
Right then
Right at that moment

The Sherriff's of Nottingham
The Bif character's in Back to The Future
The Mr. [greedy] Geko
In that matter of fact Wall Street
They keep telling us how it is
We keep refusing to listen

This isn't about the politics you cling too
The church that you pay holy roller admittance at
This is about trading roles
Where once you were a leopard
Without the need to kill
Now you're a mule-sheep
You got it pretty bad
Having to carry that heavy load

All of this shit that keeps being hurled at you
All the eternal bliss
You think you will be awarded with
For your obedience
Your disobedience
Is nothing compared to this reality…

:you could in fact be free right now
:you just don't fuckin' want too

mule-sheep obedient

another…

god-damn shame...

Welcome Home! [being human]

As the gold specks float
On top of my drink
I make notice of the buoyancy
Like thick blood
But light as a feather

I am human in this get up
I get down
I get real down

I pass onto myself
What you cannot handle
You are human like me
I pick up the slack

As the gold flecks speck my mouth
I dry ear inside my throat
Acting the fly on the wall
Thick like ice
Just as cold

This is being human
Welcome home!

Little Red Heart

Robbed and gun-shy
I saw you lay there
A postcard of a broken heart
I could not jump high enough
Or dive deep into
Anything you were
Or anything I was becoming

Split and torn apart
Half way to dreams
That could have saved you
If you had only
Answered before the last ring
Before the blood stopped flowing
Before I broke your little red heart

Sun burnt and peeling
Away the layers of nerve you never expected
Most humiliating as the door closed
Pushed to the limit
Over the edge
I never listened
Especially when you were talking
I found it easy
To shut off
I could no longer hear
The sound of the pumping
Of your little red heart

pina colada [i'm a citizen]

where i'm going
most people do the vacation
a slot on the ticket
a seat sedated until they get there
but when you have international friends
you arrive under no false pretenses
you get whisked in
and then you laugh
at all the imbelciles

i know they like the pina coladas
all that coconut stuff
in the drink that they think
will free them
we sit there
wondering where they're from
taking bets on who will last the longest
it's been that way
since i became a hemingway
ingrained into the culture
that they just come to visit for a weekened
they call it something like a vacation

i have many girl friends
many dancers that dance my way
i always have all my life
they respect me
cause i don't game 'em
i keep her straight
tell her there's no need to grab his bank account
in the long run that fool will spend it
just keep yourself a better person
ease out baby, let me get you another corona

her brown skin turns him on
i know he 's got shady eyes
even with his albino woman sitting by his side
yet he steals glances he's from kansas
what do you expect
maria don't even see him
but i do
i know the man that he is
he's that american
that thinks every woman
has a price
little does he know
he's setting himself up
he'll get rolled when he walks out
hopefully he'll never come back to cabo
this ain't no vacation

Death Is Picking Me Apart

Death is picking me apart
I never realized
That it would come to this
On the other side of the fence
Like some bad neighbor
Throwing trash
Not respecting property owned
By others with dreams

Ya! Death is picking me apart slowly
Its come hard to the realization
This shit is getting crazy
My best friend just took a settle down
I didn’t even know it
I kept calling and calling
No answer!
Too late motherfucker
Disconnected!

Death is picking me apart
My soul can’t contain this
This shit is re-arranging me like dominoes
Playing hard like some old black man
Stuck on a ghetto corner
Only in this game
No one ever wins
The truth of the matter is
No one ever loses either
Figure that shit out
If you can!
It’s just that pain
That creeps in every few seconds
Damn! I wish I would have answered your call
I thought I was just too busy
What a fool I was

Ya! Death is that phenomena
That makes you question everything
Well, you know what man?
I want to let you know now that you’re gone
You were that brother from another mother
We saw eye to eye
I knew you better
Then you knew yourself
I just wish I could’ve been there
When you hit the floor
Been a Jesus!
Resurrected you!
Brought you back!
But I know that this is just me wishing

Death picks us all apart
When it’s our time
The clock stops ticking
Stop
Dead Stop!

Dedicated to Steven Everhart Jr.
My friend, my Brother…RIP Man!

Planet Cortez [Agog]

A few stars linger on
Very faint and barely lit
From the journey that I return from
Missile men and pound cake
Not the kind you eat

Gold inside our burn
As we lift off from Manor Moon
We make a drift into Luna migration
Immigrants looking for a new home base
How can I ever tell you?
How bad it got in 2211…
With all the trophy's that were worth killing for

I strapped my gun
Underneath my arm
And jetted to a brand new world
Just so I would not have to kill again
Now I am a rebel
But not a killer like the Conquistadors

We picked our targets with precision
I just could never live with my conscience
As the murderer of everyone on the planet
My conscience is now Neil Young
He has become our god on this voyage

Like Cortez who killed them all for one simple gram
Gold blood flowing demon
Changed the purpose of anything that I set off to discover
Eventually we named that planet
Agog, The Angry God of Gold
Because as much as we brought back to mother earth
It was never enough

god inside of us

I sit here by the sun
In the light of the moon
I play hooky because I can
I don’t show up
Until I have too
But I always come
When you come knocking
Because I love you
I mean like
I really love you

My ship is directed towards Mars
I may get a little side winded
But when you call
If you just ring my number
I will lay all this down
Forget what I was called to do
I will forget who I am
If you call me
If you say you need me
For anything
I will come running

My hope is that the clear sky
Will be bright in your eyes
My conscience is wound tight
On you and all you would ever want
If there is anything I can do
Even if I have to come back down
Re-arrange the stars
I could and I would
If you needed that
From me

I sit here in the light
The sun shines
The moon is blue
The universe reminds me
Like an ocean
Swimming into the future
I see you
I see me
Like I see god inside of us
I see you and me
Living one to one forever
No matter
What happens here

Future Fuel

I have to tell you
I have seen the future
It ain’t good
It don’t get better
Now I don’t mean to be a Jeremiah
But if you don’t look around then that religionist
Will put you under his thumb
Claim that god came here to judge you
But know this it’s the simple truth
You are only judged by your own delusions

I have heard the wailings of the incubated
Souls lost to nothing more then a logo
And let me tell you it ain’t pretty
They do nothing but cry all night
Shift and turn in a lost paradise
The main thing they despise
Is the fact they believed the lies
They bought and spent and broke the bank account
Then they maxed out all the credit cards
Oh my lord, they are slaves now
There is no freedom
When you owe Peter
When you’re trying to pay off Paul
But the lie is they owe themselves
And they don’t even know it
They have robbed their own grave
By their own participation
In the greed that they never saw coming

I have glimpsed the future
The Nano Trackers stuck inside every vein
The sky warden under all the skin
Not willing to give anyone a pardon
The essence of every human
Will be utilized to the inth degree
When they die they will be used as fuel
Bred for nothing more then to max out the store
Then when they can’t pay the debt
The black masks come knocking
They are there for the taking
Burn them up make them suffer
Make another house light up the block
Until they themselves have maxed out the cards
Until they can’t pay the bills
When they have sold all their children
When they have a number on their forehead

The future owns them
All because of the greed
That they allowed themselves to feed into
They sold themselves for a mere mirage
They could never catch up to the Jones’s
Now they must give back to the cause
Burn baby burn
Hey thanks Mr. Smith
For lighting up my front porch

history has written [the way we use to be]

We use to wile away our moments
Talking about the future
Exchanging ideas
On how to make our world
A better place
We use to take pictures
And never be under surveillance
We use to glue them
Into our scrapbooks
We use to be really proud
Of the crowd that we had evolved into
But you know now...
I don’t hear a single person
Say a single thing

We use to be so content
Staging our week day by day
We use to be able to drive the distance
Without filling up the tank
Oh now, how we pay
I don’t get it
But who am I to think
That as much as we use to spend our excess
On things that brought us happiness
That the day would come
When we can’t even buy the children band-aids

There were days I can remember
When we had the dignity to acknowledge our neighbor
But that day has turned to the worm
And the stench is just too much too take
The way we collect our road kill on the side of the avenue
Hire some fool pay him a hundred grand
Give him two weeks vacation
And call him a patriot
Reaping in those war time profits
We use to wile away our moments
Thinking that we were headed into better days
But that was so long ago
It don’t even seem like yesterday
Because as far as I look back now
I can’t see anything
That resembles the way we use to be

We were loved the world over
Held up on pedestals
Our spirit rested in every heart
Our passion was our hallmark
Now we can’t go anywhere
Without someone
Telling us to get out of town

We use to be the pride of the universe
Painted pictures of our flag
Graffiti-ed every foreign wall
But now the only scribbles scrawled are
USA GET OUT NOW!
No one wants us anymore...
What have we become?

Because I remember when we use to wile away our moments
Thinking that we were headed into better days
But that was so long ago
It don’t even seem like yesterday
As far as I can look back into
I can’t see anything that resembles
The nation we use to be

Dolly Leaves An Image (Dolly’s Phone Call)

I got Dolly on the line
She’s sick & tired says she’s coming over
I hang up start cleaning up
I’m really down now that I have to work
Just to get laid
I pick up socks
Scrub the bath tub
Hope like hell she don’t have to shit
There’s no toilet paper
That never stopped me
But I’m not her!
Ahh! Fuck it!
I’ll lay out some napkins
What a genius I am!

I call my buddy ask for a loan
Say I need a good bottle of wine
Maybe some alcohol to speed things up
He bitches & moans says I better pay him back tomorrow
I say I will I promise
He says he’ll be right over
I owe him one & I better not forget it
He calls me his bitch as he hangs up the phone

I move into the bathroom again
Make a move to improve my personal hygiene
I strip down to jump in the shower
Get the urge to deliver a present
Remember that there’s no ass wipe
I hunt down my cell phone

Walking through the rooms of my house
Naked on the phone pleading with my imbecile buddy
Hay man I need one more BIG favor
Can you stop & grab a roll of t-paper?
No! Really! Please…
It’s not like I’m your bitch asking you to buy tampons
When I hang up I reassure myself it really isn’t

The water pouring hot streaming in the shower
I get in & fall under a long day at work no pleasure
Expect for this water hitting me right now
Oh Ya! & The sex is coming
I’m getting incited
But there’s no time for self love
I got the real thing coming over
I dry off & promise to myself she’s gonna get a real stud

Homeboy rings up says he’s left the stuff on the front porch
Bitches at me for not answering the door
I explain hey “if I was a report card you see a big fuckin’ F”
You should know the deal
Gotta clean the kitchen vacuum the living room
Change the sheets & all that shit
Hey man! Give me a break
I’m just trying to get laid

Then I get a phone call coming in

I say hey man I gotta let you go
Its Dolly calling probably needs directions
Thanks for the wine & the vodka
I don’t mention the toilet paper

Dolly sounds depressed & I immediately recognize
That she is still at home hasn’t even left yet
I wait for her to tell me what I already know
"It’s late I know I promised
I was feeling a bit horny
But I have to work in the morning
I know if I come over we won’t sleep"
Like that makes me feel super human at the moment
It does but I don’t say anything about the hand job I just got from her

I respond with
“Its ok I was just getting ready to go to bed
I almost forgot you were coming over
We can do it another time”
I really mean
“Don’t ever call me again you bitch!”

I pop the vodka out
Throw in a DVD of my favorite porn
I’m ok but it would have been nice
To get laid by Dolly
Instead of “Pleasures of the Sinful Nature”
Thank god for toilet paper & some imagination

EGO (it goes by in real time)

I look inside
I see a wind sheered mind
Hoping for hope in breathing breathe
The simple reality is
That we could love one another
Without pointing a machined barrel
In the direction that is anything outside of us
Anything that doesn’t elaborate our perfect status
But we choose not too

I glue myself to the inevitable
With the ridicule and the
“You could be a millionaire”
I just shrug that kind of shit off
I have heard it so many times
These are days long gone by
I don’t have it inside of me
To claim some fleeting fifteen minutes
I am not that desperate
Circled inside and out of me
The last thing that flows through me
Is your fucked up ego

I know this makes you all pissed off
And so it should
But why should I have to tell you
How stupid you’ve been
Open up your eyes and see
Look into the mirror
All the reality that awaits you
It’s not scripted
It goes by in real time
Lose that fuckin’ ego
Un-climb that mountain
Come down here with me
Enjoy every fucking minute

sense of it

I go the day
Un-swayed by anything
I am more then human
I can prove it
I except the ignorance
Of the dairy queen lick
Getting lock-jawed
For no damn good reason
I saw that coming
It’s some sort of anti-freeze
But only frozen
Some GHB thrown onto some aqua toys
Just to throw everybody off
Just to fuck up a few minds
But I see that froze dead end
It just alerted me
I’m in my prime and I catch everything
No movie will ever wake me up
Just reinforce what I already know
By the time it hits the sliver screen
It’s been fifteen maybe sixteen months
On the news stand in the midst
In the blog that no one will ever read
Like Steve Lendman and his take on things
Just to stand side beside a man like this
Try to honor a humanitarian for his time
And any one that opposes something like that
Is a goddamn drain on the soul
Look, I ain’t all that perfect
But at least I listen
At least I learn
Ya; I hear everything
You just don’t know it
I grind just like you do
Trying to make some sense
Out of all this shit
