LYRICS
Dum, dum, do, deo, do, de, do, dum… dum
At the time, you know the time
and, by the way, on the day
Almost like you can smell it in the air
They set the verse to rhyme
Then, there
They strum
They drum
Rhythm is born and then bears a vibration

ABOUT
The song was written at 4:20 on 4-20-2012 at a reggae music festival, Wall Street International, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

bookmark_borderPeculiar Behavior

I could see
He saw
But, I still couldn’t be sure
If his behavior
Would be peculiar

Will he steer clear?
The fear of those
Not responsible for their own actions

That is
Ornery omnivore -itis
Causing my selfish-homosapien -ophobia

Let’s turn the nightmare
Into our day’s dream
Anti-Anthropophobia
In a social utopia

DIRECTIONS TO LIFE

Whatever it is
There are so many ways it can be done
1) The puzzle is to recognize it is a puzzle.
2) The trick is to recognize the best solution.

When accepting guidance from above
When accepting guidance from the heart
The answer is instantly easy to see
As well as, when to start

You’ll know it’s now
You’ll know just how
Understanding,
The impact of your action
On the faction
Comprehending
The ramification
On the population

You’ll know you’ve won
When you know you’re one

Solution
Satisfaction
Deployment
Of enJOYment

bookmark_borderTake Me To Your Leader

“I am a stranger”
Stranger, I am
Stranger than you
An Alien?

“I come in peace”
A piece I am
More than a pwan
Are you?

“Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”

This note in my pocket
Is to notify you
There is no intelligent life on Earth —
the third planet from the sun.

We’ll guarantee your eternity
While mine is in jeopardy

Now that we are hear,
We might as well take advantage of… this opportunity.

The opportunity to see… hear.

Now that we are here,
With hear… I can see. c c c c

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
human waste

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
with a bad after-taste

rinse it clean,
rinse it clear,
wring the fear,
from the beautiful scene.

glistening dew,
upon you,
like a new born pup,

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subsonic,
Supersonic,

Infrared,

Why the sky is blue,
All day?

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subterranean,
Angels refrain,
Frequencies,
Of inadequacies,
Infrared,

What happens,
When I pray?

Ring, ring, ring,
“God is calling,
On line # 1.”

“Is it hard to put your finger on,
Everything under the sun?

Or, do you wish you were god?
I hear the jobs pretty hard.

At any rate,
I’ll try to appreciate,
The fate I create.

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Won’t miss you,
If I’m with you.
Sincerely,
Me

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Can’t miss you,
When I’m with you.

[whistle]
Fido! Come here, my boy
Yo, Fido!

The animals are running the zoo
There’s nothing much
You can do
They’ve broken free
Of all restraint
Now, there ain’t…
A tame point-of-view

Mic check [echo]
Tell your Ma
Tell your Pa
The sheep say baa

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your brother
Tell your sister
The mounted monkey will twist her

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your teacher
Tell your preacher
A sounder of swine
Are taking away your liberty…
And mine

A litter of pigs litter the streets
With a pack of mule mentality
