Blasts of terror shattered the earth
and cries of war pierced the sky.
Blood spilled and innocence died;
while madmen rejoiced in unrestrained joy.
The miasma of darkness hid the sun,
as the crimson king moved
to the beats of the death dance.
All the zealots, misogynists,
politicians,war mongers
laughed out loud,
hiding behind a garb of respectability;
just one of the crowd.
The guilty will be annihilated
a common refrain,
a mother cried at the death bed
of her two year old child.
The war started in my backyard
its frightening I know,
and I let out a prayer
before I tuned in for the cricket score.

Welcome Note From An Insomniac
Have you ever noticed,
how shadows appear to be creatures from another world?
Their twisting changing bodies
proof of all things you never wanted to believe.
Did you know silence;
complete and utter silence does not exist?
When all noise stops,
You can hear your heart beat,
the drums of life following a rhythm as ancient as man himself.
Have you figured out yet,
that all the mysteries of the universe are revealed
in the exact moment your eyes begin to shut?
And just when you think that the eternal question has been answered,
and you open your eyes to celebrate,
It slips away like a figment of your imagination.
Do you feel that the world is at a different plane of existence?
Where perception of reality changes
specially in the darkness of the night?

My Best Friend
I searched for you
through the corridors of time,
restless eyes and soul
looking at every passerby
in the tide of people
cruising through my life.
Searching for the one
who believes in me.
Accepts doesn't judge.
One who knows
my deepest darkest secrets.
The undiluted joy
and the piercing sorrow,
The sanity, the insanity,
The act and the reality.
One night,I was alone in my room,
smiling for a reason I don't remember.
I glanced at the mirror
And looked deep into your eyes;
You too were smiling.
I knew my search had finally ended
and I had found you, my best friend.

Rainbow
I saw a rainbow,
a radiant, perfect pattern
appearing magically on my kitchen floor.
Was this a gift?
A reminder of a glorious moment
I had long forgotten?
Or was it an illusion,
mocking me in its fallacious perfection?
A mirage, a delusion,
a present, my salvation.
I laughed and cried,
I wept and smiled,
as my perfect rainbow evanesced.

The Socialite
Of course I am happy!
Can't you see my smile?
My little tinkling laugh;
perfected with practice.
Shh... that's a secret,
don't tell any one
Life's a party;
chill out have some fun.
Of course I am happy!
Am I not charming?
Am I not beautiful?
I am in the groove
and so very cool.
So what if I drink
a little more than I should,
I can quit anytime
like I quit food.
Of course I am happy!
Even if I don't sleep so well,
What are pills for?
An oasis in hell.
Stop badgering me.
Get out of here,
No I am not crying,
Your presence is more
than I can bear.
Don't you dare pity me;
it's a path I have chosen,
And I truly am happy,
Even though my heart has frozen.
A Boy and a Girl
A boy decidedly handsome
looked for love and then some.
Till a girl unabashedly beautiful,
caught him with a tug and a pull.
They wedded and bedded,
and had kids cute and chubby.
Hence the couple was supremely satiated
living their life as wife and hubby.

The Mean Cockatoo
A great mean white cockatoo,
flew the skies of Timbuktu.
He would swear with vigor and malice,
at the Swallows, eagles and the pionus.
But to his despair,
with a style decidedly debonair,
they called him a preposterous nincompoo!!!

Bubba
Their lived a guy called Bubba
In the city of Aruba,
He loved to waltz’s
But didn’t have the balls
As he was named Hubba Bubba

I Thank Thee
Oh sweet night and blessed darkness
I find succor in thy company.
As I crawl into thy very depths,
Comforting blankness surrounds me,
An insular isolated entity.
Worry, strife, horror and grief
Pass me over as I sleep.
Oblivious like a newborn babe
Cloaked by thee, a shielding cape.
Through the thin separation
Of my perishable skin,
Thou poureth into my very soul.
With love and infinite care,
Thy taketh away my weariness
And maketh me whole.
Oh blessed darkness I thank thee,
For the succor thy provideth to me
Living in Strange Times
(We didnt start the Fire: Billy Joel)
Burritos foully cussing and cursing,
Also frequently and randomly bursting.
Tacos protesting Enchiladas desisting,
Tostadas, Fajitas, frothing, fermenting.
Oh what strange times we live in...
It’s all so scary and frightening,
Not at all enlightening.
Oh what strange times we live in...
Does nobody else here see,
It’s time for all to flee
Lomein is howling, chowmein is screaming,
Mandarin and Orange chicken are freaking.
Rolls unwrapping, dumplings are splitting,
Fortunes of cookies are seen reversing.
Oh what strange times we live in...
It’s all so scary and frightening,
Not at all enlightening.
Oh what strange times we live in...
Does nobody else here see,
It’s time for all to flee
Vindaloo is crying, pakoras are frying,
Lamb and Chicken curries aren’t trying
Tandoori chicken in the oven is prying,
Biryani accuses Dum Aloo of lying
Oh what strange times we live in...
It’s all so scary and frightening,
Not at all enlightening.
Oh what strange times we live in...
Does nobody else here see,
It’s time for all to flee
To flee, To flee, To flee…

The Naked Song
I saw a man just walking around
Naked as the day as he was born
He was tall and lean and very good lookin
The poster boy for american porn
I was shocked
I was stunned
But I must admit a little bit awed
But I did find all of this very odd
Then I turned around
To my dismay
I saw endless skin
No clothes to be found
I saw Billy and his pa
and grandma Sue
They were naked as a jaybird
and lovin it too
A thought stuck me
I was scared to see
If anything weird
had happened to me
I said a prayer
and took a look
I was fully clothed
every button and hook
I pondered and I wondered
what was going on
Then I saw a sign
the nudist are in town
Hey hey the nudists are in town
Lets celebrate the nudists are in town
tHey hey the nudists are in town

Memories
I wasn't in a state of mind
I felt soul dead
Who am I? Where I was going
I felt so jaded
Then I met you
You looked at me and smiled And said
Don't be sad don't be unhappy
Leave all your luggage behind
I'll take care of you
I felt soul dead
Who am I? Where I was going
I felt so jaded
Then I met you
You looked at me and smiled And said
Don't be sad don't be unhappy
Leave all your luggage behind
I'll take care of you
Yeah we had some good times some good times
We made some memories
Some good times some good times
Memories refuse to die
You were my teacher guide philosopher
You were my mind
And I miss you yes I miss you
On this journey of self realization
We met on the way
Some place we connected
Don't know what else to say
You made smile you made me laugh
We danced the night away
Yes we danced the night away
And I miss you yes I miss you
Yeah we had some good times some good times
We made some memories
Some good times some good times
Memories refuse to die
Now its time for me to move on
The oceans beyond
I want to fly In the bright blue open sky
is this goodbye No I am not gonna cry
But something I just wanted to say
In my brand new world
I will climb the mountain top
Looking at the brightest star
Shining from the heavens above
Knowing, hoping praying that somewhere
You too are staring At the same bright star...
This aint goodbye
Cause memories never ever die
This ain't good bye
Cause memories never ever die
This ain't good bye

I am a honey nut cheerio girl
He's a raisin bran sort of guy

He is lactose intolerant

She likes the classical style
Oh what do we do we do do we do now

Legumanomaly
I made a big fire by the blue lagoons
Made some soup with rice and legumes
Hungry thugs, empty belly, me in glooms
Morosely I cried someone catch Le Goons
Made some soup with rice and legumes
Hungry thugs, empty belly, me in glooms
Morosely I cried someone catch Le Goons
Psychotic Rainbow
If hell had a rainbow
What would the colors be?
Midnight black, soulless grey
Bloody as the crimson sea
Reflection of the soul of a sinner
Twisted and evil watch it glimmer
The ghosts and the demons can see it swell
The psychotic rainbow from the gates of hell
Can you see it can you feel it?
Will it bleed you dry?
Are you screaming are you freaking?
Do you fear the devils eye?
Oh Don't you worry oh don't you worry
For pretty soon you'r gonna die...die..die
(heavy duty guitar solo)
if life had a meaning,
What would it mean for you?
tortured misery Burning agony,
mistakes you cant undo
The sun disappears in the eclipsed sky
Pity the poor fool hear him cry
The colors of the rainbow are melting here
Don't hice now come face your fear
Can you see it can you feel it?
Or are you living a lie?
Are you screaming are you freaking?
Do you fear the devils eye?
The psychotic rainbow is up in the sky
Come my angels its...time..to die
Dedicated to the Terminator
