The Industrial Coffee Machine

Boom 

Clack

Psssssssttttt

Smack

Click

Ding

Espresso

Doom…clack…doom…clack…

The music burns the air

Down the conveyor

Dancing swirling

White shoes on concrete floors

Exposed raw steel constrains the space

Wood beams pop out 

The swell on conversations mellow out

With every drink served

Waking up a city

While The OK king is sitting on the curb

Wrapped Up in Humanity

From east to west

Uneasy unrest

Wrapped up in humanity

Inhumanity

Lies become truth

Truth become lies

We have lost our ability to decipher the truth

And don’t care to sympathize

From the low to the highs

I hope we can somehow discover the truth

Realize

Banter from true lies

But it takes the average citizens to get involved

Even though our whole worlds have revolved

Around disorientation

It must stop and we must begin

People acting in collaboration is when people win

A Risky Toast

From coast to coast 

We raise a risky toast

To love and opportunity

Peace through resistance

Growth through Unity

These times will be marked with

Fraudulent politicians 

While plumbers and musicians 

Unite on the streets

Of New York City

To say that we won’t back down

Lay down

Or roll over

Not until the fascism is over

Nor the rains have passed

We will stand together at last

United in diversity

United stronger through this diversity 

For arrogance knows now mercy

And neither do we

No Sympathy for Idiocracy

No sympathy for idiocracy

No celebration in degradation 

No hope in fear

No love in hate

We stand more united today

Than ever before

One man can not run the floor

We are learning the hard way

So let it be our takeaway

Love and action

Love and action

Love in action

Let’s act together

Bored with Peace

That’s is what the commentator said

Those three words I dread

Unbelievable

Untrue

I have feared this from every limb

These words settled so grim

How do we arrive at such uneasy emotions

A stirring in the depths of the sea

This is our new reality

The world is changing in front of our eyes

While we are staring eyelids wide

I hope this is not true

But I have a feeling the words are on to a clue

Buckle us up

I hope to be here

When the next 4 years are through 

Upcoming Dreams

We head again due west

On a uncertain journey

Chasing the calendar

Of hope and upcoming dreams

Let’s head out now babe

Before it is too late

LA is sunny and people are happy

We have seen enough here
