Bio
After prematurely retiring at the age of 44, I've hunkered down on the mean streets of Memphis, TN, where I'm carving out my memoirs with an empty Bic pen on the walls of an abandoned abattoir. What ? MY FAVORITE MOVIES: Taxi Driver, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Duck Soup, Horsefeathers, A Day At the Races, The Last Temptation of Christ, Carnival of Souls, Freaks, Goodfellas, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Last House On The Left, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Life of Brian, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, all Herschel Gordon Lewis, educational shorts MY FAVORITE MUSIC: Sex Pistols, Frank Zappa, (early)Alice Cooper, Schubert, Leadbelly, (early)Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Irving Berlin, Violent Femmes, all Sun Records, The Cramps, The Dead Kennedys, Box Tops, Billy Lee Riley, Beethoven MY FAVORITE BOOKS: Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Physician's Desk Reference, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV, Crime and Punishment, Notes From Underground Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Psychopathis Sexual STUFF I FIND INTERESTING: According to a new Pentagon study, 35% of Iraq veterans received mental health care during their first year home; twelve percent of the more than 222,000 returning Army soldiers and Marines in the study were diagnosed with a mental problem. As of early 2008, Human Rights Watch reports that roughly half of all prison and state inmates are mentally ill. 76% of all sexual offenses are committed by someone related to or acquainted with the victim.

These are the days, when grown men cry

Rate: 1 Flag

 

Spring becomes summer, 

just like before; 

the days grow long, 

the wind blows high.

These are the days 

some try to ignore. 

 

These are the days, when grown men cry.

 

It's figures and profits and losses 

to some,

and a more or less white lie.

To some, it is fathers 

with nothing to leave 

to their sons.

 

These are the days, when grown men cry.  

 

The water is black,

it coats feather and fin

and all that it touches will die.

The water is black, 

and eleven 

are already dead. 

 

These are the days when grown men cry.

 

Spring becomes summer, 

for some, 

and for some, no price is too high.

And now the black water 

is all some will leave 

to their sons. 

 

These are the days, when grown men cry.
