Has the idea of the group, the class, the population as a whole caught people's attention? Has it subdued the ideals of individualism? Are we coming to some sort of group consciousness? Has globalization been the key to this success, if it is success? The clint eastwoods and john waynes have lost their touch. Disneyland's small world shows all the different cultures and their matching outfits that resemble their lifestyles or ideals...The chinese with an emperors hat and cape, the dutch with their pigtails, the germans with their lederhosen, and the Americans with in their western outfits. The cowboy wild west period lasted about a whole of twenty odd years possibly thirty out of the two hundred thirty four years that this country has been established, we are obsessed with the do it yourself, face hardships, and be an individual through and through. But are we anymore? Ah, nevermind, I don't really care to talk about this subject anymore. Too tired, and don't really care about it. Instead here's some writings that are extremely rough and will most likely be heavily edited...take heed...

YOUTH

Read me the lines,
from pages of old,
lost stories untold,
of past generations,
lives being sold.

They left me with little,
and thats just fine,
they'll have to take a lot more to change my mind.

And it takes a lot of heart, to know.

so now comes the time,
to fall into line,
become who we were cut out to be.

we live the life we are called for
we've got nothing to gain,
and worse. nothing to lose.


Lovers lost,
at high cost,
of what the the soothsayer sees.




again, nevermind...too costly to continue.

MEXICAN MISTRESS

Showered off the last bit of Mexico
Picked up dirty habits,
mama you'd be sad to know,
smoking, drinking, lovin, life i've come to know,
now my baby's callin my name back home.

Shoot six men, watch em' die
noone round here ever blinks an eye
gotta board that train, thats gonna carry me on home.

Homeward bound, Jalisco bound,
makes(theres) no difference to me now

life, liberty, equality,
things round here run a bit differently,
mother mary wont you come back to this state of affairs?

Kids playing soccer out in the streets
ma's in the kitchen, know she'll be there for weeks,
and i'm out searching for what i came down here for.

Homeward bound, Jalisco bound,
makes (theres) no difference to me now.

no difference to me now.
