Buddhist Quotes & Music

Crooked Man
© 2020 Gary Wayne Clark. All Rights Reserved

An ancient tale with a modern twist.. dark poetry, intelligent rap, and multi-layered SFX are entwined with ethereal waves that weave a prophetic tapestry of addiction, despair, and a fleeting hope of recovery from the grip of an epidemic that consumes the lives around us and haunts our soul – we dare not turn away.

Music and Lyrics by Gary Wayne Clark

Oh why?
Oh why?

There was a crooked man,
he walked a crooked mile.
He made a crooked potion,			
For souls he could defile. 			 

He bought a crooked cat,			
Who caught a crooked mouse.			
And they all mollycoddled, 			
In their little crooked house.

Now the crooked mouse was dying,
From her snow of china white.
No golden girl could save her, 			
From her crooked little plight.

Now The crooked man was sad,
Then he had a crooked thought.
Why should he be jailed as crooked -  
When the others, they were not.

Suicide, genocide.. curse your bloody name,
Money train, ball and chain.. damn your house of shame.
Ritual, habitual.. atonement nevermore,
Murder-8, desecrate..  reaper guarantor.

Invisible, Deplorable.. walk your crooked mile,
Victimize, stigmatize.. banish me exile.
Castigate, incarcerate.. fill your slaughterhouse, 
Crooked cat, crooked mouse.. fuck your crooked house!

There was a crooked man,
And he walked a crooked mile.
He made a crooked potion,			 
For souls he could defile. 			  

He bought a crooked cat,			  
Who caught a crooked mouse.			 
And they all mollycoddled, 			 
In their little crooked house.

Now the story’s not yet over,
As the tale for you unfolds.
Better hide under the covers,
Or your soul will be controlled. 

Out there the crooked man is waiting,		
Selling toxin with his strife.
And he won’t be satisfied, 
‘Til he takes your crooked life -
Crooked life, 
Crooked life..

Oh why?
Oh why?
Oh why?
Oh why?

Dead Fall

Crooked Man

When man alters the natural variation of genetic evolution by splicing in a competing strain of 4 amino acids to mutate a higher probability of reproduction, the events are unnatural, and unintended events can happen. Stay tuned, it's not over yet. 

In my alternate variation of one particular universe, I don't know if it is real, or just a dream. But if it is real, this one's for you, Trevor. Blue is the color, football is the game. We're all together, and winning is our aim. Party on, but don't get above your raising - and keep my flat on Kensington Square tidy, I'll return soon  --
