A phantom and a promise
A kiss, a smile, a lie
Back when our love
Was alive enough to die
You ghosted me for days
You haunted me for years
You don't have any right
To ask about my tears
Now suddenly you emerge
From the shadows of deceit
Asking about my loved ones
And sounding so sweet
You ghosted me for days
You haunted me for years
You don't have any right
To ask about my tears
Seeking greener pastures
When it's time for you to roll
You leave behind a wasteland
For the famine in your soul
You ghosted me for days
You haunted me for years
You don't have any right
To ask about my tears

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
–John Lennon
When the long knives come out
And the landscape turns to Hell
There won't be any omelets
Just a pile of eggshells
Bombs in Iraq,
Bullets in the back,
And crazy Comrade Lenin
Knows who to attack
Summary execution
Is that how you cope?
When every kook starts shooting
It's a slippery slope
Bombs in Iraq,
Bullets in the back,
And crazy Comrade Lenin
Knows who to attack
If you found a messiah
Who tells you who to kill
You're mistaking mental illness
For that phony red pill
Bombs in Iraq,
Bullets in the back,
And crazy Comrade Lenin
Knows who to attack

Sometimes I like to wear shoes
But I never watch the news
That stupid guy on the tv
Don't give a crap about me
You can sneak and you can snoop
But don't you put me in a group
I do things the way I please
I like my burgers with some cheese
I like the rivers and the trees
And I appreciate them bees
You can sneak and you can snoop
But don't you put me in a group
That big machine is taking notes
All my preferences and votes
Every letter that I wrote
And all the writers I can quote
You can sneak and you can snoop
But don't you put me in a group
I ain't no standard deviation
You can scour the population
You won't find no correlation
Cuz I'm a walking aberration
You can sneak and you can snoop
But don't you put me in a group

Ticky tacky talk
They sneak and stalk
And lie and mock
And put you in a box
They take you down
And break you down
They're never leaving
This old town
Avoid abusers and accusers
Losers gonna loser
I'm not a beggar
I'm a chooser
They take you down
And break you down
They're never leaving
This old town
They'll never let you be
But they can't shackle me
They're just a memory
I'm happy flying free
They take you down
And break you down
They're never leaving
This old town

Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
-Theodore Roethke
What is beauty?
What is love?
What is color?
What is art?
What is laughter?
What is sunshine?
What is rustling
In my heart?
What is real?
What is romance?
What is magic?
What is true?
What are raindrops?
What are roses?
What are puppies?
What are you?
What is light?
What is time?
What is space?
What's a star?
What makes
The heavens sing
Everywhere
You are?
by Richard W. Bray
