Week 4 of Soulwriters University 2017. Prompt "Changing Gears"

Mean
by Havilah Rand

Your so nice
but I want you to be mean
a little bit dirty 
not so clean

Im so sick of polite
my stomache hurts from the sweet
shut your mouth
and show me what you really mean

I dare you to do all the things you dream to me
changing gears from appropriate to some honesty

Your so good
but theres a flicker in your eye
a little bit of wicked
something secretive and sly

SWU 2017

Mean

A
You got a lot of nerve, sliding up to me
looking for some sugar;
babe, I'm anything but sweet
your intentions are misguided, I'm way out of your league
My kind of love will bring you to your knees

A2
It’s true; I gotta lotta nerve;
but you’re presuming way too much-
my momma raised a gentleman; I look before I touch
I’d like to get to know you, I say thank you and please—
But, I can tell that you could bring me to my knees

B
talk is cheap, show me you’re the real deal
oh, baby; I’m on the level
to win my heart would you beg borrow and steal?
honey, I’d make a deal with the devil

A3
I’d shake his hand, leave the past behind 
if you let go I might follow; take the leap, at least I’ll try
I’ll be jumping for joy, when I catch this disease
this kind of love will bring us to our knees

A4
ooooh, you gotta lot of nerve getting under my skin
I can’t tell if this is romance, or just trouble that I’m in 
you’re a poser; a bulldozer
you’re a coward; you’re a tease
this love will bring us to our knees
this kind of love will bring us to our knees
this kind of love will bring us to our knees

You've Got A Lot Of Nerve w/Bruce Salmon

We Are Free
by Havilah Rand copywrite 2017

(preamble is Charlie Chaplin's monologue the final speech from The Great Dictator)

where are we going
where have we been
learning the same lessons
but we keep forgetting

longing for connection
safe behind a screen
losing our ability
to say what we really mean
(Chorus)
we are free
believe   
the kingdom of God
lives in the hearts of men

we are free
believe
we have the power
to bring the good back in again

so many have suffered
so many have died
still we wander
through a CARNIVAL of greed and lust and lies

Yielding to shame
casting blame
we were made to love
we are all the same

Chorus

We Are Free

here lies Joe Cain
the heart and soul of mardi gras in Mobile Alabama
Joseph Stillwell Cain
Ol Slac; Slacabamorinico

I was holed up on Bienville square
in the light sunday afternoon rain
when I saw the merry procession
of the veiled widows of saint Joe Cain
and I thought of his proud legend
and I quietly whispered his name
then i laid my head between two Azaleas 
and wandered off into a dream

I saw Mobile bleeding.
torpedoes neath it's shores
union soldiers in every crevice 
and creeping behind every door
I heard the cries of fatherless children
and the sobs of the newly poor
i saw a city taken in an occupation 
defeated in a cruel war

then ole slac descend from heaven
wrapped in the purple of Mardi Gras
and marched undefeated down dauphin 
 a forgotten chief of the chickasaw
followed by a band of hellion soldiers
of the lost southern cause
they mounted a decorated coal wagon
paraded in a Dixie CARNIVAL 

the Myths chased death around a broken pillar
as old heathen gods demanded their way
pig bladders beat on a champagne glass
as folly won the day
and the mystics masked and generous
had their night of revelry 
Mobile found peace in its drunken delight
of fat Tuesday 

then the Excelsior band was playing " when the saints "
as a moon pie struck my feet
I awoke to see the Comic Cowboys 
in  borderline anarchy
and a bass drum thumped out voodoo rhythm
as i adorned myself in beads 
filled a Mason jar full of homemade wine
but poured a little out for old Joe Cain

Words People Say
by Havilah Rand

WORDS PEOPLE SAY
they don’t really mean
skate through the day
keep their conscience clean

salutations and smiles
glittering teeth shine for miles
but it feels like a needle in my eye
the way you lie

words people say
shallow and affected
the expression fades away
but for now they’re so connected

it’s easier
to appease than injure
but it feels like a needle in my eye
the way you lie

cmon cmon now cmon
don’t be shy
cmon on now cmon now cmon
show me the child

words people say 
because space feels so unsafe
a true friend will share the silence
save the chatter for an acquaintance

I don’t know how long
I can endure your empty words
cuz it feels like a needle in my eye
how hard you try
