Where is the Light
Here is a lake. There goes the pilot.
Want to relate? The barrier is gone.
Finish amused, finally working.
Wake up to see....a country disappear.
Where is my Zeus? Where is my Mercury?
Mars is let loose, Prometheus unbound,
Fishing for souls, in a pool of ice water,
Isn’t enough to carry the load.
There is a lake….There is a twilight
There is a darkness….Where is the light?
Men overboard as women and children
There is a lifeline to the stars,
Reach up and go.
Finding new Gods, civilization killing.
Repeating mistakes, and where is the light?

SLOPE
Total destruction, the violent urges
Take you enamored, victorious morning
Whats left to kill? Give me a rope
Here we go slidin’ down a slippery slope.
Woke up this morning, wolves were a howlin
Painfully evident, silently loud
Hope there’s an answer, hope there’s a hope
But I think were goin slidin down a slippery slope.
Hold back the nothing, balancing scales
Land is retreating, water prevails
Look at it under a microscope
No matter how you see it it’s a slippery slope.

Don’t Follow Me
Never thought about the money
As the bullet tore through my arm
I knew that I was pumpin’
I knew I’d get the next shot
There’s a trump…lonely hope in season…
Billowing like Nebulae, Oh conflicted treason.
Who would bet on tainted numbers
When the wheel always wins.
Changing color black to red,
Pick the deadliest instead
And see if that one spins.
Back in action, satisfaction alleys,
look the same.
Judges watch from rooftops…
Poison quills begin to itch and slowly fade.
Write the murder in a language
only few people understand.
In the whistles of the birds,
singing deadly little words
That Heralds greater plans.
Don’t follow me…. Martin C. Earley 2011

NO OASIS
What’s he cryin about?
Lost his Mesozoic perhaps?
Maybe an arms length away
Maybe a story left behind
Either way…keep walkin
Rest awhile…No Oasis
Can’t tell black from red
Surgery can fix that
The needle loves the thread
Either way…keep walkin
(in those) cheap Egyptian penny loafers
Feel the pain, worry heat
Designed and left for dead
The space behind the curtain
The space behind the curtain…
Cheap Egyptian penny loafers….
