I just felt it - a revelation
From a higher power, a new sensation
Did you feel it? Small vibrations?
A complete focus of concentration
Feelin' dizzy - head is spinnin'
Could this be it? A new beginning?
Not sure why I'm feeling this way
Oh God, please don't take me away
Hear a lost voice in my ear
Try to listen, words aren't clear
Almost time to start my praying
Wish I new what it was saying
Heard something outside rather frightening
Thought it was someone throwing lightening
I just had a heart attack
But my religion gave me back
He decided not to take me away
Down beneath the earth where the devils play
I had the shivers or was it the shakes?
Just one more chance and I'll do what it takes
I got the problem and you the cure
I'm so unstable and you're so secure
Did you get the better of me?
I look around but no angels I see
Do I have time for one final plea?
A final cigarette and a hot cup of tea?
( loud thunder and lightening- I wake up screaming)
Thank my lucky stars it was just a false alarm
I was never really in danger, far away from harm
Must say I'll sleep good tonight
Just one favor...can you leave on the light?

A COP ASKED THE WITNESSES

A cop asked the witness did you see the driver of the car?
Another cop responded she couldn't have gone that far
It's amazing where fate'll bring you - all the way to a cell
It's amazing where fate'll bring you - down to the depths of hell
The night was dark and dreary and the rain was pouring down
The faces of the happy were quickly turned to frowns
November twenty-sixth and there's not much thanks to give
It's hard to be rejoiceful when daddy didn't live
A cop asked the witnesses did you see the driver of the car?
Another cop responded she couldn't have gone that far
Mommy ran into a restaurant screaming someone hurt my love
Mommy showed the owner the broken wings her dove
Two lives were almost taken as soon as they begun
A two year old child and a young driver on the run
People dressed in black now put flowers on his grave
Daddy died a great hero and his little girl he did save
A father's life is over and his family torn apart
A mother's constant weeping and a child's bleeding heart
A cop asked the witnesses did you see the driver of the car?
Another cop responded she couldn't have gone that far
There's blood on the sidewalk and tears fallen to the ground
Flowers on the gravestone and a deeply saddened town
About the girl on the run are you sorry for your sin?
Your only chance at heaven is turning yourself in

I've wrote too many sad,sad songs
About how the love we had was once so strong
Trying to remember where we went wrong
I need you back its already been too long
I'm coming to find you so please don't hide
If only you knew how bad I hurt inside
I tried to convice myself I didn't need you but I knew I lied
When you left my better half died
Even though I'm a man I too will swallow my pride
If you lay down the law I'll promise to abide
For I know I wasn't right I just had my priorities confused
And even though I hurt you we've both been abused
I got off the phone with you and I know you still love me
I had to set you free but you've flown back to me
You're the best I've seen I wrote you in a letter
But I know we can't get back together until I get better
Its such a slow process that I'll take it step by step
We'll find ourselves together is your safest bet
The heart gets lonely when dreams turn to pain
All of life's choices can rinse your life down the drain
Behind door number one- the devil in disguise
Door number two- your biggest surprise
Behind door number three- its filled with crooks and lies
But you're behind four- I can tell it in your eyes
I'll turn the key and let you show me the way
And if that key costs money then gladly I'll pay
I've got to stop this livin' day to day
I'll turn the page and start over again
Sort out my aquaintences and weed out my friends
Sometimes it's hard to see things stright when smoke gets in your eyes
You never know what's pure in this world full of lies
Through trial and error I find myself
And discover those that I can't live without
---
I've found them all but one's been misplaced
I know where she is, I caught a glimpse of her face
She cries "Let me out or let yourself in!"
She's become my heaven in this land of sin
But I might have to wait 'cause of the shape I'm in
But somewhere down the road we'll be family again
I've heard alot of love songs where the girl got away
I started writing a new one when I knew she would stay
Three break ups has made us strong
Three gettin' back togethers has formed us a bond
"You better go to rehab if you wanna stay with me"
"Where whitecoated men will bound you for your own security"
Bound may be too stong its more like strongly secured
I found my better half so my illness will soon be cured
I owe it all to her for she seems to be my cure
With her I'll make- I am very sure

Fate has befallen me and my time has come near end
The hourglass is dwindling, as I shall never mend
Myself, the great hero, will now live on through song
As the dark figure, which hangs before me, whispers "come along"
The sword, which I depend on, has finally let me down
This king will soon reign o'er a new kingdom wearing another crown
With my armor and shield now colored red
My eyes are closing and now I'm dead

lyg Tom Jensen

A PERFECT WORLD

The whole world's a fight I can't get no peace
My mind gets disrupted when it's at ease
Watching the sunrise is a long forgotten art
Feet so busy walking separate from the heart
When was the last time you noticed the moon?
I'm surprised you've forgotten so soon
There's so much more than what you've been told
Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold?

This set pattern you follow is just one of their lies
A world lacking communion, only me's and I's
Through competition our brotherhood has been broken
As no one's acknowledged these words that I've spoken
Everything, even people, filed by order and rank
Number one built the Titanic yet down it sank
There's still time left to return these ideas you've been sold
Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold?

Some say if winning isn't everything than why keep score?
Those same people send other mother's sons to war
I could be like you or maybe someone else
One step towards them and one away from myself
Sometimes they see me and ask me "How I feel?"
I respond "A hamster on a hamster's wheel"
If you feel trapped like a rat in this world so cold
Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold?

I'll keep on fighting no matter what's in store
But at least I'll know what I'm fighting for
My own little peace and quiet in this world so vast
This world makes me dizzy because it's moving to fast
Round and round they go as they spin their wheels
Trying hard to keep their poker face on when the dealer deals
Stop going for broke when you'll win if you hold
Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold?

The brokers in the suits and ties walking down Wall Street
The ones with the diamond watches and their hair so neat
They get so stressed out playing all their Wall Street games
They get home and yell at their wives and forget their own kid's names
All for the love of money and nothing more
If they call that rich then you can call me poor
If they tell you the lie 'all that glitters is gold'
Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold?

As I climb up the mountains or float over the sea
I find myself alone and contented and alive and free
No need to look at my watch or punch a clock
And I notice my feet when I go for a walk
It could be like this if enough people believe
Just as the wind blows a flower, I'm planting my seed
The time has come for us to break the mold
Rise up in rebellion, could we be so bold?

A PERFECT WORLD

Title: contradictory

Stanza 1: people are so busy they never take the time to appreciate being alive or the little things in life that are so beautiful like nature or something as simple as a sunrise or the moon. We're all taught to go, go, go when sometimes its better to just sit and observe. We need to change the way we live our daily lives. But it does take a lot to change.

Stanza 2: Everything is one big competition: school, job, driving (everybody is in a hurry) everyone compares everyone else by how much money they make. The constant competition breaks down society and social relations. Yet we're taught this through and through - be it deliberately or not. We always have to be better than the next guy. The best ship builder built the Titanic so being number one isn't a guaranteed success.

Stanza 3: Some are so bent out of shape over numbers (grades or money) that they think that's why you do something for a 100 or an A but you do it for yourself. The author (me) isn't like that (let's pretend) and wants others to see the error of their ways. He doesn't want to give in to their way, that's why he tells the audience to rebel. The reference to the hamster wheel means that everyone's going around and around at a million miles an hour but for what purpose? Stop and relax and enjoy life - you only live once.

Stanza 4: The author won't give in. The world isn't what he wants it to be but he'll keep remembering and searching for his perfect ideals. The poker face reference shows that they know the error of their ways but since everyone else does it they do it too. They don't have to go for broke or be so extreme in working 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 hours a week. They work so much they lose sight of what's important like family, love and happiness. A happy medium of less work and more play and more appreciation is much better yet it is not the general way of thinking - it is extreme.

Stanza 5: The stock brokers represent the rich people who work so much and care for money the most. They represent the worst case of the problem; anti-author. They get so wrapped up in work that they forget about everything else. People think that it's a great life but if you have a ton of money yet no happiness is it really wonderful. The rest is self explanatory.

Stanza 6: Nature's good - no people to mess it up. The feet reference refers to stanza 1, line 4. People should think this way of nature and happiness first. I planted this seed of wisdom for everyone to know what happens in advance. I've told them the reprecussioof their actions.

Poem 1
Hidden Evils

A crying teen wonders how much more she can handle
While mangy dogs dig through trash and howl at the wind
The priest in the church lights a holy candle
For all of his lost children who have sinned

Son lays awake all night dreaming of tomorrow
Grandmother prays for her soul to be saved
Father works his second job, eyes full of sorrow
Single mother wonders how the bills will get paid

A child born of racists, his heart fills with hate
Paint chips off the walls of the liquor store
An abandoned building becomes home to a family of eight
The donation bin stays empty while collecting for the poor

A pigeon wanders aimlessly unsure of where to look for food
A wrinkled and ripped newspaper blows around in the park
A homeless man sleeping on a bench awakes in a foul mood
As night falls all that's wrong with the world is covered by dark

This poem was an attempt to break my rhyming pattern of consecutive twos. I
am also a fan of this rhyming scheme because it is a little harder for me because
I'm not used to it. I tried to show all the evils in the world that we, as a society,
have a tendency to overlook because they're commonplace. I started by only
rhyming in the 2nd and 4th verses but didn't like the end result so I redid the other
two lines so that they rhymed.

Tom Jensen
Ten of my better poems created in this class
December 5, 1999

Poem 1
This is a first draft. It is about my own piece of sanity. A future revision may include lengthening the piece. This poem was inspired by a Pete Townsend tune of the same harmony. I was feeling very stressed and I needed a way to put things in perspective. This did the trick.

SYMPHONY IN MY HEAD
There is a symphony playing in my mind
And it only plays for me
Sometimes I try to write it down
Though it somehow remains free
So pure and true
No pen or paper could ever hold
The only thing that's mine
That I hold in this world so cold
Sometimes the music sounds
When life has got me down
It's the only thing that awakes me from my sorrow
Sometimes the music plays
When my happiness goes away
Reminds me there's always hope for tomorrow

Poem 2
This poem was inspired after I was playing around with some catch phrases. I came up with the catch phrase and wrote the rest of the poem around the concept of "You can call it fate." The rest will be here someday, I hope. This poem ponders over the question of why bad things happen. I think it would be better served with 2 more lines in each stanza.
This is the second draft and a future draft would include the last stanza concluding with the defendant commiting a bad crime.

CALL IT FATE
Birds circle around your home
One more time won't they leave you alone
They flap their wings from side to side
From Mother Nature no man can hide
Being punished for crimes - well, that may be
Crimes against humanity
Just when you though there was no one to see
Now look at your life and who's to blame?
You can call it fate
What a shame?

As your family boasts "You're in the prime of your life"
You go under the doctor's knife
For cancer has no name or face
Unfortunately for you its too late
Enter the hospital a dying life
Exit the church a crying wife
---
Poem 4
This is a second draft. This poem was inspired by random thoughts of the uncountable amounts of idiots that this world has to offer. I am good with people yet on a whole I hate humans. I am the type that cheers at plane crashes and killing sprees. This is a taste of my anti-people (especially worthless people) mentality:

PATCHING THE HOLE

There's no parking spaces
Only unhappy faces
Untied shoelaces
Now I've covered all the bases

Puddles of grime
The offspring of slime
For whom the great bells chime
Whose horrors cannot be covered by rhyme

Thoughts like feet buried in cement
On the mind reads space for rent
If only could a conscience be lent
Wasted space - wasted time spent

Cannot fix the flaw - only patch the hole
The potential of diamonds results in coal
Able to race the race though blind to the goal
Only glimpses and pieces never the whole

Never a reasonable thought about why they're here
Ignorance replaces fear
The voice of reason they're unable to hear
Never aware of how far away or near

The truth of it all they could never bear
Answer half-witted responses of life's not fair
Entering every endeavor without much care
Rise above the filth - if you dare?

Poem 5
This is a first draft - I like heat, I hate snow. Tough times are ahead for winter is here.
Winter is here and depression sets in. No more beautiful girls running around in beautiful bikini's and no more warm days. Everybody gets like this when the summer fades away yet few people write it down. I may include a stanza after this one titled summer of the living and make it a comparison piece but I'm still thinking.

WINTER OF THE DEAD

Dying leaves fall from trees
Harsh winds blow as rivers freeze
Birds escape to warmer places
Red cheeks glisten on children's faces
---
Now look at death and who's to blame?
You can call it fate
You can call it a shame

In the next room of the hospital is a mother's joy
The prize of a life - a baby boy
Parents counted the fingers and counted the toes
But what's in the soul nobody really knows
Food, shelter and love - baby got his fill
But no one knows why he grew to kill
You can look at their deaths and who they blame
You can call it fate
You can call it a shame

A man dresses in the mirror and he flashes a smile
In a two-thousand dollar suit he'll wear at the trial
He asks the judge to cut his client a break
Starts preaching about how we all make mistakes
The judge, on these words, reduces bail
Keeps a guilty man away from jail
Freedom gained but is anything lost?
Will he do it again?
They keep their fingers crossed

Poem 3
This is a first draft. This poem was inspired by the turtle that my mom got from my girlfriend. My mom is nuts and she spent a ton of money to keep this turtle alive after a ton medical problems. The average person would have let the turtle play in the street in traffic. Now the turtle lives in an empty glass bowl with daily swims of about an hour in duration. A pointless existence in my eyes. I always wondered how the turtle sees things:

THE TRUTH ABOUT TURTLES

To live one day outside this glass
Even if next I come to pass
I dream of the day of being free
Your life be meaningless if you were me
A fairy tale...once upon a time I swam around
Presently no rock, nor blue sky, can be found
To big cat sitting close I appear as a meal
Every time I untuck my head their eyes I feel
From five sides of invisible walls free me please
While sixth lies open, such a tease
Perhaps I should grow white wings so wide
To free me, release me, from where I reside
And teeth so sharp to bite through screen
Fly back to my home - alone and unseen
To my rock on my pond where I used to sleep
Where I was trapped and sold by nets that creep
Yes, death or liberty
Anything but this
Freedom for my sons and my daughters
And the family I miss
---
Winter of the dead
New poems:
Winter of the dead
Dying leaves fall from trees
Harsh winds blow as rivers freeze
Birds escape to warmer places
Red cheeks glisten on children's faces
Smoke escapes through breath outside
Bears in caves in shadows hide
Rain is eclipsed in the sky by snow
White footprints trace where animals go
Enter the clouds and exit the sun
Find a warm place for winter has come

Patching the hole
New poems:
There's no parking spaces
Only unhappy faces
Untied shoelaces
Now I've covered all the bases

Puddles of grime
The offspring of slime
For whom the great bells chime
Whose horrors cannot be covered by rhyme

Thoughts like feet buried in cement
On the mind reads space for rent
If only could a conscience be lent
Wasted space wasted time spent

Cannot fix the flaw only patch the hole
The potential of diamonds results in coal
Able to race the race though blind to the goal
Only glimpses and pieces never the whole

Never a reasonable thought about why they're here
Ignorance replaces fear
The voice of reason they're unable to hear
Never aware of how far away or near

The truth of it all they could never bear
Answer half-witted responses of life's not fair
Entering every endeavor without much care
Rise above the filth do you dare?

R avished by your beauty
A nd placed in your arms
C ared for by your eyes
H ealed by your touch
E ngulfed in the flames of your heart
L ighting a candle in my darkness

M esmerized like a child
Y our flame guides me

L onliness is just a faded memory
O nly dreams of you now Fill my mind
V oid was my heart without you
E ndless is my love with you

Rant and rave, tell me to
A ct my age, try to
Change my ways, leaving me in a
Haze
Even when I try to write of
Love

Thoughts of heaven turn to
Hell as doves
Evolve into ravens

Because you don't
Inspire me
To reach for the stars, they've all
crashed down to earth and hit me off MY
Head

feel a wintery chill starting

THANKS DAD NEW
... is happy thanks giving
What if I told you it was halloween
Tricks no treats
People with no shoes on their feet
Life can sometimes get pretty mean
But you, you wouldn't know
There's always someplace you can go
Daddy's gotta a cottage on a lake
Daddy's got a mansion in Bacalaton
So you never had to pay for your mistakes
Do you even know what planet you're on?

Political World
by Bob Dylan

First Release
BOB DYLAN
1989
{listen}
Oh Mercy

We live in a political world,
Love don't have any place.
We're living in times where men commit crimes
And crime don't have a face

We live in a political world,
Icicles hanging down,
Wedding bells ring and angels sing,
clouds cover up the ground.

We live in a political world,
Wisdom is thrown into jail,
It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell
Leaving no one to pick up a trail.

We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank,
Life is in mirrors, death disappears
Up the steps into the nearest bank.

We live in a political world
Where courage is a thing of the past
Houses are haunted, children are unwanted
The next day could be your last.

We live in a political world.
The one we can see and can feel
But there's no one to check, it's all a stacked
deck,
We all know for sure that it's real.

We live in a political world
In the cities of lonesome fear,
Little by little you turn in the middle
But you're never why you're here.

We live in a political world
Under the microscope,
You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there
You always got more than enough rope.

We live in a political world
Turning and a'thrashing about,
As soon as you're awake, you're trained to take
What looks like the easy way out.

We live in a political world
Where peace is not welcome at al,
It's turned away from the door to wander some
more
Or put up against the wall.

We live in apolitical world
Everything is hers or his,
Climb into the frame and shout God's name
But you're never sure what it is.
