Withered Whisperer

To the
Musician
in Us all
sure We play
Music
but it's believed that
It's the story in
One
that cries to
be heard
wanting to escape
with a crashing
cresendo....off beaten
Musical pattern
begging to be upheld
like glorified stanzas
little if anything
to do with
for the Audience
but rather
needing to
Be entertained
with the
Promise
of A
Caring Listener

FEAST OR FAMINE

ART TEST

WHAT I GIVE IS EASY
WHAT I DO IS HARD
AND WHEN I
DON'T DO IT
ANYMORE
IT'LL BECOME
A COLLECTION
OF WHAT
I'VE DONE

Freedom Pass

for the life of me
we'd all be free
if we'd just pay the price
only one small thing
no more human sacrifice
cost more to lose 
then to win
