That's you all over

Scattered moments strewn around
from leaky pockets to the ground,

you're not altogether focused now
but fixing the past not knowing how.

From hell to breakfast you are all over.
Now soldier, get your kit together.

Yes, get it together or let it be
for you are one with everybody

for all eternity in a sea of energy
now focused now flowing free.

Who has the energy has the power

Who has the energy has the power 
and makes the decision, conserve or devour.

Who has the energy rules whether schools 
produce educated citizens or ignorant fools.

Who has the energy controls Congress 
and who does and does not have access.

Who has the energy gets to pick 
is that or not a law of physics?

Who has the energy for us bequeath 
what children eat, drink, and breathe.

Who has the energy gets to state 
yes or no to a people-friendly climate.

Who has the energy makes the statement, 
whether there's democracy in government.

Who has the energy are whom we adore 
and we make this country of, by, and for.

Who has the energy on this sunny day? 
It's you and I, or that's what I pray.

With only Smeagol as their guide

With only Smeagol as their guide,
two Hobbits, with no steed to ride,
and no army beside,

having left the Shire with no goodbyes,
they dreamt of green meadows and blue skies,
but trudged ahead with few friends but a few who were wise,
day after day, they awoke to desolation and spying eyes.

Their foe was powerful had but one flaw as he lusted for power.
He could not imagine them approaching his tower
not to possess and wield the ring's mighty power
but to restore it to the Earth to devour.

There they stumbled toward Mordor, 
hardly stouter than a flower

only to have Smeagol cheat them all in the end
and get the ring back for he had no other friend.
But then, when all was lost, the story took an odd bend,
for Smeagol finally accomplished what no one else could
and bore that terrible burden to its fiery end.

Wanna Be REMIX

Of all the fools in this world
you are one of them
Of all those boots that you tear so well
I can wear none of them

So brush that dust
right of your shoes
and save yourself the trouble when
the present's offering you a clue saying
I would never I would never
No I would never mistreat my own
dignity or solar plexus
nor neglect whatever that perplexes
the solitary wanderer
the vagabond existing on the borders
of nowhere
How the city sit solitary
that was full of people
how is she become as a widow?
I do not know

I do not know...

Know I would never mistreat her no
you say that now for all you know
the greatest tool for fools affirms that
I would never I would never
Would you ever let yourself
be filled and drunk on all the bitterness
that consumes of all
the wormwood and the gall
remember Ieremia's affliction and misery
be filled with all the tenderness
the signs of kind affection
and the innocence of the small

How the city sit solitary
that was full of people
How is she become as a widow
I do not...

The Lesser of Fools

Cordelia
All your memorabilia
have been kept safe
and locked away
until this day
I hand it over to you
now that wheel
to which you were bound
is no longer on fire

Cordelia
I'm releasing you
Cordelia
All the more all the same
graceful in mine eye
yes I'm sure
your love is more
ponderous than your tounge
could ever conspire

Cordelia
Unlike Ophelia
and those harpee sisters
in your midst
forever foul and never fair
with neither inkling nor a clue
that it is your lips
men wishes to seal with righteous kiss
but you're tired
are you not
dear daughter of Lear

Howl

Your beauty puts my poems on par
with the talking ravens in the tower

Kraa...

Try Anything

Through a tunnel full of light
I would move at the fastest pace
Through my own eyes
I can see this gigantic space

At the speed of light
I could remain longer
Than the night
And walk until it's dawn


X-rays light
And in a crackle blast
Through my eyes
Rendering me blind


I see the light 
Through the scope
Of space at night
And I would throw a rope

To climb and ascend
To the endless space
A place of light and bliss
That the night would leave me


X-rays light
And in a crackle blast
Through my eyes
Rendering me blind

X-rays light
And in a crackle blast
Through my eyes
Rendering me blind

Away from the blight
Now I will rise
Through the eye
Of a sun that shines

DF118 - True Fabric (Of The Universe)

Could be a lot of nonsense
As you scroll on down
You could be forgiven for not
Realising the profound

New jazz age pharaoh
Looking back at me  
Hoping your persuasion 
Will entice engagingly

Quantum entanglement
Was I surprised to learn
Could be what forms the true
Fabric of the Universe

A need to impart our latest
And not so idle talk
Communicate by sharing
A call to walk the walk

You could maybe ask yourself
Just what’s real and what is not
Quantum mechanics
The reality of the cosmos

Quantum entanglement
Was I surprised to learn
Could be what forms the true
Fabric of the Universe

Delayed choice paradox
The laws of quantum physics
Taking all this in
Leaves me feeling kinda dizzy
Dizzy

Quantum entanglement
Was I surprised to learn
Could be what forms the true
Fabric of the Universe
Of the Universe
