Jam me wit BRASSS

 

    Jam me with brass

Jam me with brass stick me with them horns

Let my eardrums ricochet with vibration from the trombone

Let me feel the squeal of the guitars way down in my soul 

With them trumpets transport me to another world 

With the majestic mystical magical magic of the saxophone

Mystify me pound the piano keys way in tomorrow then let it flow

Let it flow until it explode into a flowing raging river of tempo

Unchain the rhythm then let it roam beyond destinations unknown

In a ring down battle between the horns trumpets trombone 

Piano guitars drums and saxophone it’s a battle for musical control

Each one on a mission to out gun the other and become the champion

Musical supremacy got them in a frenzy to find the sweetest melody

Jam me with brass stick me with them horns blowup my eardrum

With them drums jam me with rhythm keep jamming me with rhythm

Put out an all -points bulletin arrest boredom wherever it is found  

With this music there’s no reason to stand around looking forlorn 

It’s a musical explosion dynamic with vibrant vibrations

Drums trumpets guitar trombone horn piano saxophone 

Rhythms that’s driving everyone in the world out of control

Don’t play the just keep dropping rhythm jam till kingdom come

Do it fast jam, jam, jam, just, jam me with brass.

What will you be giving me in return

If I give you my vote and you won tell me

Will you honor you promise and give me good representation

Will you be available can I count on you

Do you stand on your word will they withstand the test of time 

Election alert candidates it’s my vote if you want my vote

Mister Mrs. and Miss Candidate you got my undivided attention!

The race is on my vote is available to the deserving applicant

The candidate that reasonably answers my questions gets my vote.

Yesterday's News

                       Yesterday’s news

They were saying we are yesterday’s news

Now like a phoenix from the ashes we rose

They were saying to history our memory is confined

We are back on top and like the stars we shine

They thought that time had left us behind

Now here we stand with the future firmly in our hands

They thought we were past tense now we are trending 

We occupy the leading edge and they are astounded 

They were saying we are yesterday’s news

Across all media platform now we are in our renaissance 

The proof of our revival they all can freely peruse

It was indeed premature that new they had of our demise

They thought we were destined for the scrap heap

They did not notice our inner strength and survival instinct

They thought we were crows in reality we are eagles

They were saying we are from a bygone era that’s and error

Contrary to what they say we are in command of the future

They were saying we are write offs that’s a misnomer

We say we got the right stuff

Our era it’s the future

they say we were yesterday's news now on the frontlines

on the headlines we stand  predominate.

At Myself

 

At myself in the mirror

At myself in the mirror I winked my eyes

Looking picture perfect with myself I am so satisfied

I congratulated myself and gave myself a high five

Myself I also gave myself a big, big, broad smile

Don’t know when I stopped all I know is

Again I have started liking myself taking myself in stride

I am liking myself again and liking myself feels fine

I had forgotten how to begin liking myself

At myself in the mirror I like the image that caught my eyes

Looking picture perfect with myself I was pleasantly surprised

Giving myself a high five I congratulated myself

Myself I just had to give myself a big, big broad smile

In my mind I have started telling myself

I am healthy I am wealthy and like an owl I am wise

To my surprise my life is daily becoming as I prophesied

Liking myself is the only way in which I am living my life

Smiling at myself in the mirror I gave myself a high five

If you are being hard on yourself forgive yourself

Give yourself a reprieve sigh you deserve a second chance

Like yourself with yourself smile give yourself a high five

At myself in the mirror I blew a kiss just enjoying this life.
