''MACBETH''

aye, My Lady

thy beauty is thrust upon me

like the stars in yonder sky

and moons in other planets

that giveth light unto the earth

oh, My Lady

Queen of nations afar

I refuseth to believe

the things that I hear

for in my eyes

thou doest no wrong

aye, My Lady

my heart is discouraged

knowing I canst not

bow to thy every need

from here to eternity

oh, My Lady

lass of my soul

and the sweetness

that holds my heart

thy beauty I behold

for all of ever after

you are the only thing

that causeth my heart to bleed

ESP

seven guards walked the mile

twenty prisoners lined the cells

hollering and screeching filled the air

along with screams and wails

the halls were long as the days

but the nightmares had just begun

Eastern State was full of beasts

and they'd each put you on the run

six guards walked the mile

twenty prisoners grinned with ease

sneaky, conniving, evil hearts

played a game; loved to tease

the floors were more quiet now

as the convicts formed a plan

corridors were paced more softly

as they've taken out another man

five guards walked the mile

twenty prisoners formed a sneer

hatred deep within their hearts

soon they'd be out of here

the walls concealed their secrets

no one now spoke a word

the sentry was fading out

not a single voice had been heard

four guards walked the mile

for the world shall soon see

that the men meant what they said

now the guards were only three

three guards walked the mile

their memories soon just dust

one by one they took them out

with greatest of ease; no fuss

soon one guard walked the mile

with eyes in back of his head

he'd fight with pride or die with honor

or suggest truce, so they said

alas, no guard walked the mile

twenty prisoners each to his cell

their bodies decomposed

their souls rotted in hell

skulls and bones lie about

some sixty odd years down the way

but you can hear the prisoners

even until this very day

they begged for food and water

yet no one to hear their hungry cries

twenty prisoners stuck in a world

of hatred, death and lies

''BABE IN A BLANKET''

innocent

loving

to hold him

is to love him

but his love

for you and I

is much stronger

for as he grew

so did his faith

he became strong

in love and compassion

his voice

we hear in our hearts

his prayers

are for you and me

loving

caring

who could ask

for anything more

thank you, Jesus

Dear Babe in the blanket
