Yet

Yet

It will come
Soon we hope
Things we desire
To help us cope

How far away
Or how much time to take
For us to arrive
For our goal to bake

We will be able to see
On this we can bet
It will be great
We ain't seen nuthin yet

Singing Reality

Singing Reality

When what we know
Is no longer our show
We grasp for memories
To fill in The When
But it continues rushing to The Then

We remain in the pretend
And give it a name The Trend
We search for a must To Be
A future we can see

Is it A Song
As we meander along
Close to a To Be
As we sing reality

Rabid Poet

Testing

Testing

Put It Off

Put It Off

I need to do it
To get me through it
I hear their pleas
Down on their knees
But my inner self says screw it

I'll do it right away
Before the end of day
No putting it off
Was that a cough?
Maybe I will just play

My reputation is at stake
Their trust I can't break
It is something I must do
Before the day is through
Oh well, so I'm a Fake

Rabid Poet

Where We Are Headed

Where we are Headed

Where we are headed
No one seems to know
The Planet hold it's secrets
Planning for it's own show

We keep on consuming
Like termites in a tree
We see no limits
The fall we can't see

When the tree falls
Still much to consume
Soon it will be gone
And we will face our doom

Rabid Poet

Placebo

Placebo

Which way to go
A way that I know
Or maybe what
Is tied in a knot
Preparing my new show

If I take this pill
I avoid any new ill
So they say
Go your merry way
You won't stay still

It's not what you pray
It's more what they say
Should I take this pill
With a good life to fill
And be part of their play

Rabid Poet

Next Treat

Next Treat

In the yards
Grass not mowed
In the streets
Cars not towed

In the mailboxes
Mail overflow
Where is everyone?
Is that scream of a crow?

We should have known
This can't go on
Constantly on the go
Constantly on the phone

The Silence is weird
Power lines in the street
Rats scurrying everywhere
Looking for their next treat
