House on Second Avenue             c. 2021 by M. A. Manetz

V1
Our couch was at the curbside, our broken TV too,
With a pile of stuff from momma's room folks were pickin' through.
Landlord notice on the door, said “PAYMENT OVERDUE”,
The day we left our house on Second Avenue.

V2
Mama said, “Just pack your suitcase, leave your toys out by the street,
I'll buy you some new ones, when I get back on my feet”.
I was tryin' not to cry, but the neighbor kids all knew,
The day we left our house on Second Avenue.

Bridge 1
Life was always stacked against us but mamma always found a way, 
She tried her best to ease the shame and pain I felt that day.
She said, “son, hold your head up high no matter what they think of you”,
And we walked out of the house on Second Avenue.

V3
Back in town for mamma's funeral, I drove my son around,
Pulled into a side-street, slowed the motor down,
He asked “daddy why you cryin'?”, and a tear fell right on cue,
As we slowly passed to the house on Second Avenue.

Bridge 2
I told him, “life was stacked against us but mamma always found a way, 
Her strength and patience raised me to the man I am today.
So son, hold your head up high no matter what they think of you”,
Then we drove on past the house on Second Avenue.
Yeah,we're finally past the house on Second Avenue.

House On Second Avenue

I wanted to give you something tangible, solid poetry to hold.  Not to make it right, only to let you know.  You left me to tend to my heart, now it’s broken, I’ve fallen apart.  Missing you, kissing you, in my mind.  Dreaming of a love that died as I reach for the paper to dry my eyes.  I don’t remember the last time I felt this worthless.  It’s alright to be alone.  I can make it on my own.  Critical of this secret mess, can’t escape it nonetheless.  It stays with me like an ailment, clouding the visions in my head.  You waltzed in and out of my life, carving the pain in my heart with your knife.  Cutting me down to size and I’m bleeding out replies.  It’s alright to be alone.  I can make it on my own.

I Can Make It (On My Own)

This is the first chapter of a our musical all about a regular lady who starts to feel like she's losing it when she starts hearing voices. What would you do if it were you. 

Our hope with this music that we can help people who struggle with their mental health to know that they are not alone and that there are many avenues to get help. There is no one size fits all solution to this kind of stuff. Asking for help is the first step.

Help Me

I don't think of prayer as a passive activity, but actively engaging and dialoguing with God about the state of affairs be it personal or of late, international in scope and consequence.  I am praying for Ukraine that their show of strength in the face of tyranny may be rewarded with freedom and peace. I'm praying also for Russia, a land of vast wealth and beauty, for the people whom I have come to know and love on the Cloud, that they may know it is a bad actor and not them who is to blame for the shadow that has fallen upon Europe, and in a broader sense, over all of civilization.  Peace is not the exception to human existence, bullets and bombs are.  Love is the state of normal we want to have, not hate.  I offer in this guitar meditation a prayer for peace.

A Prayer for Peace (Meditation for Guitar)

Solstice Weather Report
 
These solstice eyes 
have learned to disagree
with the varnish and dies
of vain pleasantry

The ugly devices of self-serving goons
casting their angst ridden bases
only to float their ego-balloons
have erased all the sky's visual graces.

This Solstice skin
has learned to shy away
from the deceptively Thin
pvc overlay.

this discount-priced vortex of dime-store illusion
raises hope from the ground at it's gust front
only to soil soils with futile pollution
as it scatters it's load in the minds of those stunned.

These Solstice ears
have learned to listen in
to the grumblings of fears
in the voice therein

Bared. in the open, prone to transform
Buds turn to flower when graced by the soft rain
fears provide courage to transcend the norm
letting go and becoming are one and the same.

IF I WAS A BIRD
I COULD FLY THE WORLD
OR LIVE DOWN BY THE SEA
WHERE THE WIND IS FREE

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A TREE
LIVE UP THERE AND SEE
THE WORLD BELOW

IF I WAS A FISH
I COULD SWIM THE SEA
I WOULD DIVE SO DEEP
SO NO ONE CATCH'S ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A PLACE
AND LIVE OUR LIVE'S AWAY
FROM WHAT'S UP THERE
(break)
IF I WAS A CAT
I WOULD CLIMB THE TREE
OR CATCH YOU BY THE SEA
IT'S JUST A PART OF ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN,
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN
