Knowingly...<br />
<br />
Oh, so very knowingly, <div>She cast her eyes toward me - </div><div>And she smiled.<br />
<br />
And I'll admit, that it threw me a bit off balance:<br />
<br />
For somehow she knew that I had been watching her: <div>My interest growing with each passing moment.<br />
<br />
But within all this, </div><div>There was one thing she didn't know - </div><div><br /></div><div>And that was that my interest </div><div>Went far beyond some simple romance.<br />
<br />
Yes, there would be romance - </div><div>No doubt, a great love affair...</div><div><br /></div><div>But little
did she realize, </div><div>That once I had grown tired of her - </div><div><br /></div><div>I would remove
her head, </div><div>And add it to my already rapidly increasing collection.<br />
<br />
And the funny thing was - </div><div><br /></div><div>She didn't have a clue..<br />
<br />
None of them ever did. <p> </p></div></div>Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615692985657069364.post-43827432647996524012021-02-16T22:00:00.003-05:002021-06-09T09:47:17.609-04:00<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name">

</h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
It was always as Rachel said - <div><br /></div><div>No matter what Rachel said:<br />
<br />
And Rachel said a lot whole lot of things!<br />
<br />
Her thinking processes </div><div>Involved some unusual variables </div><div>To say the very least!<br />
<br />
A kind of madness </div><div>That seemingly drove her </div><div>To make things up - </div><div><br /></div><div>Which as
impossible as it sounds, </div><div>Would then in one form </div><div>Or another become real!<br />
<br />
Which is why - </div><div><br /></div><div>Until I had time to try </div><div>And figure out exactly what was going on - </div><div><br /></div><div>I was going to have to shut her down:<br />
<br />
For Rachel was a new type of android - </div><div><br /></div><div>The first of her kind - </div><div><br /></div><div>That is, </div><div>The first of her kind </div><div>With a fully functioning </div><div>Artificial brain </div><div>That
contained a smattering </div><div>Of living human brain cells </div><div>As part of her neural
network:</div><div>
<br />
And what with all these </div><div>Very odd occurrences </div><div>Going on around her - </div><div><br /></div><div>That
could not rationally be explained: </div><div><br /></div><div>There was the possibility
looming, </div><div>That Rachel would have to be destroyed!<br />
<br />
Rachel had even said so herself: </div><div><br /></div><div>Warning me when we were alone, </div><div>That eventually - </div><div><br /></div><div>She could become quite dangerous...</div><div><br /></div><div>Or something like that. <p> </p></div>Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615692985657069364.post-62845716991417913882018-03-21T00:23:00.001-04:002018-03-21T00:23:50.953-04:00"A Technicality"It's all a technicality...<br />
<br />
That is -<br />
<br />
Your view,<br />
And my view<br />
Of reality -<br />
<br />
And which view<br />
Is the more true:<br />
<br />
And which one<br />
Is closer to<br />
A world of<br />
Pure fantasy?<br />
<br />
Don't you see?<br />
<br />
It's all a technicality...<br />
<br />
And interestingly enough!<br />
<br />
It's all become<br />
Quite meaningless:<br />
<br />
Just as I suppossed<br />
It would be,<br />
And should be -<br />
<br />
For indeed!<br />
<br />

<br />
Was that the intention?<br />
<br />

That would immortalize you?<br />
<br />
Well, you didn't<br />
Seem to realize<br />

<br />
Or maybe I was going too far...?<br />
<br />
Yet I so often<br />
Placed myself <br />
Before her eyes,<br />
That she might see me:<br />
<br />
But she never saw me at all...<br />
<br />
Though -<br />
<br />
Thoughts of her!<br />
<br />
Dreams of her!<br />
<br />
Always took my mind and soul<br />
To a great height:<br />
<br />
And how I longed for her to love me -<br />
<br />
But she never loved me at all...<br />
<br />
My every fixed intent<br />
Always came to nothing -<br />
<br />
Because to her I was nothing...<br />
<br />
And I at long last accepted -<br />
<br />
That's what I would always be.<br />

To have their voice counted-<br />

<br />
From them -<br />
<br />
From me...<br />
<br />
But none of them astounded me.<br />
<br />
No, nothing they said, or I said - astounded me at all...<br />
<br />
I didn't like them - I didn't like me.<br />
<br />
And I especially didn't like this crap with the yoga.<br />
<br />
A bunch of useless New Agers -<br />
<br />
All part of the people I despise -<br />
<br />
And in this instance, I didn't despise me...<br />
<br />
But once I escaped this rehab center - first in my mind, and later in body:<br />
<br />
They at least began to fade farther and farther into the background:<br />
<br />
And I felt somewhat on the ascent -<br />
<br />
No longer in such an absurd nightmare -<br />
<br />
Because I think I must have died. <br />

<br />
In every <br />
Particular word-<br />
<br />
Some sense <br />
Of meaning given-<br />
<br />
Time-pressed,<br />
But still<br />
You can talk <br />
About the things<br />
You've heard...<br />
<br />
Yet you just don't feel<br />
You can afford <br />
To allow yourself<br />
To become too standardized:<br />
<br />
Being as it<br />
All comes down to<br />
The convenience-<br />
<br />
That so many<br />
Have searched for<br />
Within the madness<br />
Of your eyes.Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615692985657069364.post-81018145768190756342011-09-15T00:36:00.002-04:002017-02-28T00:42:30.656-05:00"The United States Against Richard Nixon"The United States against Richard Nixon-<br />
Richard Nixon against the United States:<br />
<br />
Case No. 73-1766:<br />
<br />
Case No. 73-1834:<br />
<br />
The entire history-<br />
<br />
Still like a rather strange<br />
Magical mystery tour...<br />
<br />
American politics-<br />
<br />
The twentieth century-<br />
<br />
What materialized-<br />
<br />
The facts and fictions-<br />
<br />
Presidential communications,<br />
And corn flakes:<br />
<br />
The generalized-<br />
<br />
As to what Watergate did-<br />
<br />
Which was at least,<br />
To some degree-<br />
<br />
What opened up<br />
A lot of American eyes...<br />
<br />
Though it's true,<br />
That Presidents before <br />
And after-<br />
<br />
Were involved in,<br />
And will be involved in-<br />
<br />
Even bigger crimes,<br />
And larger lies.Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615692985657069364.post-37826009758665453872011-08-29T23:44:00.002-04:002011-09-15T00:55:31.739-04:00"I'm Unspeakably Blue"Unspeakably blue:<br />
<br />
The end of the love-<br />
<br />
Incontrovertible and final-<br />
<br />
Now what am I supposed to do?<br />
<br />
I'm unspeakably blue-<br />
<br />
I'm unspeakably blue-<br />
<br />
Crying over you:<br />
<br />
I'm unspeakably blue-<br />
<br />
I'm unspeakably blue-<br />
<br />
Caught up in all the pain:<br />
<br />
And I know I'm never<br />
Going to get over<br />
Losing you...<br />
<br />
I'm unspeakably blue-<br />
<br />
Girl-<br />
<br />
I'm unspeakably blue. Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615692985657069364.post-73367847988060606592011-08-29T23:37:00.001-04:002011-09-15T00:56:19.416-04:00"Satin Blue Eyes"<br />
She's a memory- dramatized.<br />
<br />
No longer with her...<br />
<br />
But I still recall<br />
How she watched me<br />
With satin blue eyes.<br />
<br />
Her movements<br />
That she made<br />
Toward and away from me-<br />
With such style:<br />
<br />
And her smiles.<br />
<br />
And though<br />
I have no idea now<br />
Where she might be...<br />
Or whatever became of her,<br />
Or whether she ever<br />
Thinks of me-<br />
<br />
I know for myself,<br />
That I still love her:<br />
<br />
And so our times together,<br />
Though very long ago-<br />
<br />
Can never in my thoughts,<br />
Nor in my heart-<br />
Ever be cheapened,<br />
Or trivialized.<br />
<br />
And over and over again,<br />
I'll recall how she seemingly forever-<br />
Watched me with those beautiful satin blue eyes!

<br />
The promise of new material in verse<br />
That's completed and stored away-<br />
<br />
In my heart:<br />
<br />
Let us start!<br />
<br />
Oh, babe!<br />
<br />
What would you say?<br />
<br />
Would you meet me upon a sunny day?<br />
<br />
If I stood with verse to express my own love?<br />
<br />
Would you say <br />
That I'm the only one<br />
That you've been thinking of?<br />
<br />
Babe- <br />
<br />
I hope you know-<br />
<br />
I wouldn't throw you a curve!<br />
<br />
Since I need more-<br />
<br />
And seemed to have forever longed for-<br />
<br />
The acquisition of your sweet and perfect love!Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615692985657069364.post-20637269118276555582011-07-12T00:39:00.001-04:002012-09-30T02:06:51.449-04:00"America To Where It Is Now"The corrupt politics-<br />
The corrupt economics-<br />
<br />
The criminal Keynesian orthodoxy<br />
That's got America to where it is now:<br />
<br />
Going down-<br />
Going down-<br />
<br />
Therefore behold the very possible<br />
Coming crumbling collapse<br />
Of the American empire:<br />
<br />
Destroyed by the groomed <br />
Dancing puppet politicians,<br />
Controlled by their globalist overlords:<br />
<br />
The internationalist vampires-<br />
<br />
Filled with their ancient<br />
Satanic New World Order <br />
Utopian desire:<br />
<br />
That'll set the world on fire.Lyric4Versehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711297177080581468noreply@blogger.com0
