Desperate measures

Freedoms are given when freedom is earned
Blood will be spilled and lessons will be learned
farms are taken and livestock is burned
Repressed for a life time no regard for the law
Inching across the table to the screaming saw
your fight grows stronger the closer you get
All rights and wrongs stress helps you forget
A sinister Survival you can't give a shit
Kill or be killed as your heart rate goes black
Finish it silently and don't ever look back

old friend

an old friend of mine recently stretched his neck on a line
a thought from his past he was always able to put his mind in check
the lack of plumbing work for a year in a half
stress wearing thin on the trades man brain he cracked jokes and would laugh
he was invited to a party to try to relax for a night
only to meet up with a acquaintance from his past and get in a fight
scrapping with his cell mate who had taken out his sons mom
the sight of the two was all it took to cook his head like a bomb
the last promise he made her made was the promise he kept
he disappeared for 3 days in the woods as his poor mother wept
his childhood house was on the forest edge
is where the raccoons found him where he stepped off the table edge
a swinging white cloud that was jet black smoke lined
the waste of a life 40 years young hung out back on the line
enraged with the state of the silenced unemployed union

Old oaks

Old oaks standing in the hollar
Deep running secretes where lives roots begin their sprawler
The knot has been tied
rope has been hung
Story's of twisted words make lies
The noose has been swung before your eyes
As the knot slips your hands you feel The grinding slide
Unspeakable Deeds deserved have been done
The widowers branches have previously sung
where the sprawling bow and fate collide
Rest your bones in natures shadowy bows
Silent foreverance

silent shadow

The silent shadow is how I am known
Working In darkness as my skills I do hone
Loading a gun or wheeling a blade
With my eyes closed shut the hit is made
Great respect I have for the legally blind
respect for a true appreciation of their enlightened mind
Moving confidently with a heightened scene of the unknown
The dogs of war are their sight providers
Walking through the world with their master on the right
I embrace this thinking as I may lose my sight
my service is free to others who've lost their fight
Surrounding my self with the best and wait for my plight
Knowing full well for the deeds ill surly pay
Learning braille silently along the way
