I suppose you are composed of a star
The energy that has become me
Sounds bizarre but it’s from that star

So, I’m wondering
How far to the nearest star?

LYRICS
Two angels in broad daylight
You wanna put up a fight?

Rape me like a sheep
Then, your soul you think you’ll keep?
Now, that’s deep
Rape me like a sheep
Think God won’t make a peep?
Now, that’s deep

Sodom me?
You’d better flea
Sodom me?
You’ll never see
You’ll find you’re blind

Genesis 19 New International Version (NIV)
Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

19 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”

“No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”

3 But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom — both young and old — surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”

9 “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

10 But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.

12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here… sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”

14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”

16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”

18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! 19 Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it… it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”

21 He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.)

23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities, and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

LYRICS
You want to talk about the bully?
The fact of the matter is… there is no bully
No Boogie Man
’cause there’s no such thing as the Boogie Man

No Boogie Man

Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head

Gotta stand up
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
You can make him dead
Be the bully of the Boogie Man

There ain’t no such thing as a bully
There ain’t no such thing as a Boogie Man
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Just be the spark
Set the world alight
Alright!

If you thought
Thought not
Been the victim of a bully?
I don’t suggest you become him
But, I’m… I am….
That you….

Don’t Tread On Me]

Victim
The less of him

I? It’s justified

LYRICS
Should I go over there and ask her to dance
Take that chance?

Don’t want to come off as some jerk that wants to twerk
Why? I don’t want to be that guy
Want to be next to you in shinning armor
(Maybe even arm in arm… or….)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?

Not gonna hassle by asking to hustle
Not even to do the bump
(Might be going to far if we bump rumps)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Should I go over there and say do you care…
To dance

Would don’t need to slow dance
We don’t need to go that far
We can just get into our own space
And understand at most… just hold a hand

Should I take that chance
Go over there and ask her to dance
“Do you care to dance
I thought I saw you cast a glance
Would you care to dance?”

Should I go over there
(Instead of sitting here with a blank stare)

Inspired by the moonflower seeds that sprouted into the sun… growing more tasty than alfalfa, bean or others.

Written sittin’ on the wall at the corners of Market and High streets in downtown West Chester… while sittin’ next to some sprouts… and before ya knew it, they were sprouting everywhere. A beautiful thing — a flower child patch sprouting.

Quarter fairy, barely
The heat is no match for a sprout
No doubt

Ya play it funked up blues
