Time For Change

Time For Change-

I lost myself
At the bottom of a bottle
But there I was
Staring back

I recognized those eyes
That wild crazy smile, Dig?

I’ve Been Down
Around
Feeling the scene…

That scene
It’s Has Been
It’s In-between
The Calling

Memories of ghost bars
Haunting me from afar
Too long ago
But I still wear them scars
I can show you
I can show you
I can show you

I Howl with amazement
I got to pick up the pace
I got a second Chance
Can you fuckin’ believe it

This Mortal coil
This Human toil
We got to set some Shit
On FIRE

CREATE THE DREAM
Begin Again… And Screeeeam!!!

Ignite Neon Lights
City Lights
Across the country
I realize it’s TIME

From New York City
To San Fransisco
Walking to the Beat
We are the Rebels
On the Go

We can’t Slow
Can’t say NO
Spread the WORD
Cuz So FEW Have Heard

I May NOT Have long
But I’m going to give my All
So precious Is life
I Only wish I had Known

Maybe I wouldn’t
Have Drowned myself
For secret Reasons
Only I truly knew

My fuckin’ friends…
Whew, didn’t even Know
I Had a daughter
I didn’t watch grow

But… I changed the WORLD
For a time at least
Artists, poets, sculptors
Before the HIPPIES

No… Not My Kind
Fuuuck that Shit
Look at You Allen
You being such a hit

Second CHANCE is Now!!!
Let’s get It Right
Get back to Brass Tacks
The POWER
Is in what we Write

Broadsides
Online Journals
Home Page post shares
Independent Publishing
Chapbooks
And guillotines

We Got to get the Word Back OUT
I GOT This vessel
I’m-ma gonna call Home
For
A while
At Least til we can get SHIT Done

Things Need Potency
Reality
The sky is cloudy
Societies SICK
NEEDS Antibiotics
Cure The Ills
Of what the Fuck is Going On
It’s like Living Hell
A kick in the groin

It’s Comin’ together
Oh Man, can you FEEL IT
The People want Change
But Don’t know how to Ask

Well, That’s Alll right
We Got a plan
It’s Comin’ together
Just can’t be still and stand

If you can believe…
Our “Vision”
Is starting
It’s Going to ROAR
All of a sudden
And
THAT’s
WHAT
WE
NEED

IT’s
The Name of the Game
You see…

First Thought
Best Thought
Forever more……

Got’s to start sometime
And That time
Is Now
