What's right
What's wrong
What's changed or not the same?
Why do I feel
I need to kill
Hang myself on a cross at the Capitol
The beginning of the end for me
But then you'll see
What's right, what's wrong
What's changed or not the same

My face isn't carved in a mountain. I've never been struck by lightning. I've never saved a crying baby from a burning house fire nor have I over come my misfortunes in life to acquire a name for myself. I consider myself a writer although all I've written is only pieces of torn limbs of my distraught existence. (a bunch of poems)
What's right
What's wrong
What's changed or not the same?
Why do I feel
I need to kill
Hang myself on a cross at the Capitol
The beginning of the end for me
But then you'll see
What's right, what's wrong
What's changed or not the same

I'm not a bad ass
Maybe a bad apple but
not to be mistaken for a rotten apple
Over ripened and unable to roll
to far from the tree
Theoretically, poetically but not too be
mistaken politically
A bad apple like the one that ruined
Adam and Eve
It wasn't the serpent
the apple, the tree
Not even Eve
It was God's own destiny
It is how it had to be!

I wish I would have been there when Jesus was betrayed (by Judas)
Simon Peter's stroke would have meant "go" and the story would have changed.
The Holy Bible written a different way.
I know he ascended into Heaven and arose on the third day, for if he didn't Jesus would be rolling in his grave.
Why couldn't the disciples fight?
It's what they've taken from us today.
In his name "in God we trust"
Justice or just us?
When Simon Peter dropped his sword
I would have gone to war for Jesus.
The story would have changed
No cock crowing, No last supper
It's a kosher BBQ

Do you perceive we've always believed in hatred
Like it was in our Genes? Handed down
I've seen us love one another
when destruction rains down, during life's tragedies Differences in what we believe can't be seen and in an instant become set aside humanity is alive.
Quite simply put people need to believe whatever they need to live in peace with themselves! To save this planet from our own selfish greed, no hate in believing peace could be believing in you and believing in me!

I found the original and I don't believe I edited the beginning out. Authenticity is back in.
A Cinderella pumpkin story with no glass slipper A sky with a million stars and no Big Dipper. A moon that lights the sky and no first start to wish on. A pumpkin carriage ride and no girl to kiss on reckless as It seems streaking across the sky smashing all my dreams on a pumpkin carriage ride. Wish on me while I burn in your face. Kiss on me and try to learn to swallow and not taste. More like a comment than a shooting star I wonder how long it takes to forget who you are happy Valentine's Day!

like I was just born this morning a brand new day
The sun is shining birds are singing a 65° spring day
A perfect day to learn to walk again
freed from this cocoon I've been wrapped up in
I'm m going to start over when blessings descend
and flourish and warm sun rays
take a deep breath, brush off my shoulders, reach for
the sky and rise to my feet.
Look straight ahead
It's a brand new day
"Early February maybe May"
