IRON EYES CODY found his place,
safe among the human race,
I see dots on a biology chart,
you tell me about the ancient cart.

Your canoe swims far and wide,
with prideful screams for WOUNDED KNEE,
I can't find my CELTIC DREAMS,
lost in the seams,
to ENGLISH SLAUGHTER,
and you get hotter dancing with wolves,
and I am left wondering,
slumbering,
lost to history.

You have stories and songs,
your homes are full of blood dried past,
and at last you speak your tome,
all alone,
I am left with,
"where are my roots?"

Your museum of steel and bright,
the light shines on a myriad of books,
looks,
the authors fight to be seen,
known,
for history's LOST ONES,
but I'm still in the shadows,
waiting,
wondering,
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED TO MY ROOTS?"

I call it quits,
kaput.

At 18 they said go away,
"we'll keep an eye on things,
till you return one day",
I come back after a few years,
houses sold,
rust and mold,
strangers stand instead of friends,
land disgraced,
an empty global nothing place,
a home lost to outer space,
but at least the ONE TRUE RACE abides,
my roots buried under landslides.

White trash and the landfill,
spilled memories,
POP CULTURE and spiritual diabetes,
in my Mercedes,
racing for the stars,
devouring cocaine,
driving insane,
from nowhere,
to nowhere.

Roots severed.

World empty.

But I'm so fucking happy for your Iron Eyes Cody.

For your Chief Seattle.

For your casinos.

I just want to find my fucking roots.

Today feels like "Monday".
Tuesday felt like tomorrow.
Tomorrow, comes yesterday.

In the morrow,
the day-break realm,
in that world I will find
my forgotten tomorrows.

In a world of perpetual farce.

The charnal house of history.

Alone,
but still standing.

Broken,
and still together.

Afraid,
but not consumed by fear.

Brothers and sisters,
in green,
and loam,
and black,
and gold.

We are all different,
but we remember the promise.

You stand with others,
and are surrounded by guns, 
wire,
pain,
sadness,
regret,
questions.

Your captors torment,
vile,
piercing eyes of hate.

Their hate came from somewhere,
but not from you.

We just want you home,
brothers and sisters.

We want you back,
with family,
love,
and peace.

We just want the wars to end.

Tempest spray,
worn sails,
genoa forgotten,
and my love lost.

But the sea remembers,
gently,
that boastful act.

With Irons fore,
aft are the sins of youth,
terror felt in failure,
as the jib gave way.

Uncontrolled jibe,
spinning,
the boat knows its way.

Uncontrolled,
bailing,
the boat will go to rest.

Somewhere kept for courage,
in cold vaults,
manifold dreams.

Arise, Arise, it's Christmas morn.
This is no time for watching porn.
Shuck the crab and crack the corn.
Passout where you lay.
It's Christmas day!

You threatened your boss cuz you have no say.
You were fired and receive no pay.
Now you can't buy that special wine.
It will all be fine.
It's Christmas day!

Your neighbors,
you see,
moved yesterday.
There's copper to gather - don't throw it away.
Copper tubing is money and that's OK.
It's Christmas day! - Peoples...

That girl you know,
who lives down the street.
She surely thinks you are quite neat.
I know she said, "you have stinky feet".
Stalk her anyway, it's Christmas day!

That cheap whiskey is just sitting there,
staring at you from the TV tray.
Finish it off - that's the only way.
For lonely drunks - it's Christmas day!

Your ex-wife has the kids today.
"Were the hookers worth it?",
is all she could say.
Vodka lingers on your breath.
Next comes death...
It's Christmas day!

Merry Christmas peoples!

God commands,
beyond stars which shine,
revealing a path to our goal.

God is seated on high,
just beyond our reach.

God watches our souls break,
and our lives torn,
and the wonder of destiny is before us.

Yet,
we sit and wait and hope for prayers answered.
No answers.

God watches with hidden cameras,
from inside a bunker,
beyond,
where it is safe,
several parsecs away,
out of cell-phone range,
where there is plenty of beer,
and laughs.

Human fate is comedy,
and,
humans were made dangerous,
so it is best to keep your distance.God commands,

The dark soldier,
bracing himself for night,
lays down his sword,
and waits,
for the coming dawn,
but the storm is there instead.

First Herald,
awaiting noise of fire and shot,
is left in the fog,
without horse,
without hope,
and with gods abandoning men.
