A SCREAM WITHIN A DREAM

A SCREAM WITHIN A DREAM

Loyal friend from Red Rock

Dumped her longtime partner in crime and billionaire

In Red Rock Canyon

She joked-waving away the praise,

” We’re just doing what we do here.”

Problem solver,loyal friend

Went her own way

Then returned to get involved

In gang crime spree

Marshalls  rushed in

To a dilapidated building in the middle of Death Valley

Sweltering in July

Hide out for The Vagos

Playground for The Bandidos

Home of the Wicked Riderz  on their green,mean machines.

 

All this she saw in her dream

 

She  awakened to a howling wind

Saw a beautiful dark-haired girl in Mexico City

In the room with a balcony view

Gauze curtains flapping madly in the wind-to and fro

Her face twisted in pain-a macabre painting done with her own blood

The sky above a blood orange

And no one heard her bone chilling screams

As her lover stabbed her repeatedly

Her blood spattered the walls

While the wind cursed like the ghost of Pancho Villa

 

All this she saw in her dream…

 

The Vagos

The Bandidos

And The Wicked Riderz

Fantasamas maldiciendo miles de maldiciones – Phantoms cursing a thousand curses in the wind

Like the ghost of Pancho Villa

The dreamer awakened-confused, heart pounding, bemused-

Was it real or just a dream?

The road less traveled

Took me to a beach at night

Money isn’t everything

 

Music

Silence

Dissatisfied genius

Like a bird in a cage

Whose song has ceased

Strange inventions

 

Act I- Birth

Act II-Childhood

Act III- Adulthood

Act IV- Death

Living

 

The awful night thunders of revenge

Going for a walk

I’m going home

Dissatisfied genius

Strange inventions

I’m not alone here

From way up above

Comes divine intervention.

R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

Encounter in Illinois

Footsteps

WATCH OUT!!

Look where you’re going

Invisible man with a monkey’s paw

In the August heat

Nobody prepares you for this stage of life

When your own blood shoots you dead

Right there, in the wilderness

It’s science fiction and fantasy

The lines are blurred

Where does fantasy begin?

Where does reality end?

It’s a fine line

Betwixt  religion and hypocrisy

 

We’re at war

Science fiction and fantasy

The blood of the martyrs

Will once again spill into the streets

When a visit to grandma’s

May save your own soul

Where you’ll sit on the old rocking horse

And know you’re a winner

 

The lottery is fixed

The outcome is fixed

And the young ones will sing

The ballad of the harp-weaver

A ballad from hell-will be the antidote

To break the wicked spell.

 

This time next year

The raven will come

To dance with the skater of ghost lake

As the young ones sing

The ballad of the harp-weaver

 

This time next year

Reality will face off with fantasy

We’ll all be at war

We are the people

We are the mob

We fixed the lottery

We fixed the outcome

We are the bloodied martyrs

On whose blood covered streets

Our own blood we’re spilling

 

We are the people

We are the mob

Together unstoppable

Together invincible

They can’t shut us up

We sing the ballad  of the harp-weaver

We broke hell’s spell

Our children arise

Arise from the ashes

Our children the stars shining brightly

Get ready people

Freedom is here

There’s nothing left to fear!
