Everything Colorless

Edited by:  Randy Sturridge

Clones of shattered youth are born

Evacuated shells of previous generations

Emotionless days and vacant dinner tables

Hard tiled floors of a cultureless nation

Perpetuating activism fighting for others

Bi-products of war and deaths of mothers

Speeches of yesterday drown out the skies

Propelling future hopes of past mentioned times

Everything colorless with senses so plain

Society forgotten with faith in nation deranged

Clones built on promises of better days

Slowly accepting all these shades of grey

I am King, I am Man

Days come and days go

Some so fast others slow

A day will come just for me

A day where everyone will see

Overlooked and Unimportant

Neutral compliance of some assortment

A day unlike the other days

Will come for me where I shall say

"All you people, all you souls

ghouls of guise with hearts of coals

I am king and here I stand

Grande and noble upon this land

I walk on by you in the halls

on the streets and in malls

Recognition goes unsaid

As though even my shadow's dead

Every dog gets his chance

A day he basks in circumstance

Remember me for all your years

My image in your mind I've seared

Let my life be marked by this

I am not seen, to just dismiss

I am Randy take notice here

Forget me not in all your years

Change the world I have not

Touched your mind or maybe taught

Understand I am one

That loves so much anyone

I am purposeful inside

By which I live and shall then die

A mark I've left I hope I have

To be remembered is not bad

Timeless treasures I possess

For every moment I have left"

Self Satisfaction

Ride the waves of self satisfaction

Take just one day to foster distraction

Turn of the Radio and the TV

Focus on yourself thank yourself please

Encourage your own desires and passion

Walk with pride that you have so fashioned

Bask in the glory of self satisfaction

don't be a product of not taking action

Now is the time this life is yours

Take it by the reins and kick open doors

So many options don't idle or coast

Life is fleeting don't just be a host

Make the decisions that pave the road

Self satisfaction is for you behold

Lost Generation

Randy and Dickie

Vicarious Conditioning and Indoctrination

Malicious Intent with Manipulation

A world asunder now encumbered

Cut and Stacked Sorted by Lumber

A poisonous mountain of deep regret

Dirt filled ashes with cigarettes

Torn at the seams, Breathing in coal

Juvenile Dwellers with souls so dull

A society entrenched in large deceit

A world with no purpose of drive to succeed

Once upon a time has long since past

Changes ran dry this will be the last

So remember us for what we were

Our path now lost...now the Chauffeurs

Goodbye, good day maybe another day

We will re-emerge and have it our way.

The Party Girl

This is for the party girl that always tried her best

This is for the party girl that never was a pest

This is for the party girl that seemed happy and free

This is for the party girl that didn’t have to leave

This is for the party girl that didn’t come home

This is for the party girl who in the morning walked home alone

This is for the party girl that began to feel ashamed

This is for the party girl that couldn’t remember his name

This is for the party girl that ignored it when called a whore

This is for that party girl that always returned for more

This is for the party girl that walked home alone again

This is for that defeated girl that begin to hate her skin

This is for that party girl that cried in between shots

This is for that broken girl that often became distraught

This is for that whore and slut that everyone forgot

This is for that party girl who hated what she got

This is for that emotional girl that everyone ignored

This is for that party girl that thought their lust was love

This is for broken girl that dropped on out of school

This is for all the bi-standers that were just to fucking cool

Just remember that party girl that made you laugh real good

Just remember that you did nothing even though you fucking could.

So when you see that party girl and she’s havin such a great time

Be the guy that bucks the fuck up and is there when she cries

This is for the party girl that will be rescued by a man

This is to the saved young girl that will be in her bed tonight

This is to the rescued girl that never has to cry.

Invariable Memories

Edited by Randy Sturridge:

Everyone needs to stop and take a second...

to understand that today is a day that is unlike any other. 

Because today will turn into tomorrow and today will…

Then…

     …only exist in your memories.

You cannot go back and experience today as it can never again be…

Today, once tomorrow, will remain constant

...but will no longer be relative……

….In that the state of relativity can only exist in the constant that is…

  never to again be.

Live as you are as you progress through your life.

Come into all existence as it is, not as you expect it to be.

Do not be a prisoner of invariable relativity remaining in a constant that is no-more.

Do not become a product of the constraints of fears and guilty sorrow that exists only in memories.
