Listening to the symphony of sounds from my cell
I'm at the crossroads between heaven and hell

Remembering back through all of those years
...

My life is so screwed up
bet you wonder why
addiction beats me down
I'm useless to even try
...

Many heroes fall during battle
this fight for freedom often costs
these men and women we send to foreign shores
often it these lives that are lost
...

A broken dollie was left behind
though no one knows the reason why
the house was deserted and old
but one day, the house got sold
...

I tried to follow the straight, the narrow
but I always wander off the path
taking chances I shouldn't take
facing the devils evil wrath
...

These soldiers are courageous and strong
These are the soldiers who fight for right and wrong

This is a place, where soldiers live and die
...

I can't wait to have a child
I've dreamt forever to hold you
my time clock is ticking
and doubts I have a few
...

I tilled the soil in ground so bare
Then planted seeds in a garden square
A place of wonder, a mountain to hold
Both pansies and posies in colors so bold
...

I'm no longer young and carefree,
my body is riddled with pain.
I look down at the ground
at a young reflection in the rain.
...

I once a had friend that I met online
He was addict just like me
We spoke of common things
He made want to fly with unclipped wings
...

I met a women online
Her husband is in Iraq
Her children want him home
Please send him back
...

Out of my window
there is a big wall
it is made of brick
and it's very tall
...

Here's Food For Thought
Ideas for the mind
the answers to questions
you search to find
...

Those crystal like rocks are so pretty
I know I can't stop at just one
I hit that pipe over and over
...
