America has lost control
of the Founders rule of law
The criminals are now in charge
as truth has been declawed
Locking up the standard bearers
with new self-serving lies
Banana groves are planted deep
— where freedom used to thrive
(Independence Hall: May, 2024)
Nuptial Time Warp
If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page
Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
Tribute To Sly
Under the beat
between the notes
inside the groove
— FUNK
(Tower Theater: May, 1974)
