 The Trickster


In this chaotic world

A trickster gains power

In the name of greatness

A savior bringing redemption

With lies, cunning, and lawlessness

Destruction for the sake of good


A trickster blinding reason

Numbing ethics and sanity

Inspiring abusive demands

Sell your soul to the trickster 

It will all be good in the end


Cry out and cut through the deception

See what the trickster reveals

All we would not think, say or do

Carried by the trickster’s commands

The dirtiness of deeds unleashed

Cruelty veiled as good


Aye, would you not listen

Drown not out the voice within

Hear what the trickster subdues

Deep down that truth

The truth that the trickster is you

Transform it for good

Weeping Rose

Has the thorn forgotten its Beauty
That life weeps as it bleeds

Suffering faces of the faceless
The scream of the unheard
The humiliated undignified
Aye the despair of the ages
Only a breath from being me

Has the thorn forgotten its beauty
That life weeps as it bleeds

Cruel and sinister the deeds
Lies charade as truth
Power and greed grasp control unseen
Is not becomes reality

Has the thorn forgotten its beauty 
That life weeps as it bleeds

Tariffs good for billionaires
Higher prices no groceries
Died from measles tough luck no vaccines
Immigrants migrants good riddance
Kiss my ass or you are fired no discrimination
Death to us all one breath away

Such are the weeping roses
The thorns in our own sides
Denied and forgotten
Longing for redemption
