Bitter like a lemon drop
Caught in my own web of lies and deception
Lies I tell myself
Lies that keep me imprisoned in the hell my own heart creates
Out of string and dust and candle wax and flowers long since dead
Enter temptation
Temptation to flee
To feel happy again
To smile in the sunny days of new love
To fly with [...]

Life is hard in Mormonville
People frown
People stare
People judge
God’s people are rude
The desert dries up your life
It eats your car
It eats your house
It eats your at your soul

Nothing but bad luck here
You work too hard
Get paid too little

You don’t know what’s thinking inside this mind.
True, you may know more than I might [...]

Gregory “Doc” Lowrey
Detroit 1984
I must see that going nowhere
is going to be something which
I can’t agree to – life living, not living,
not down, up giving away.
Why is it not, which is?
Where life dies the pitch is
Give it up.
Flip the whip.
Give in to the gardener,
the bandy legged pea puncher,
pruning your vines, cutting
you back to the stump,
taking [...]

Gregory “Doc” Lowrey
Detroit – 1984
(original title People For Peace)

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Kill or be killed. TV or Not TV – that is the question; whether tis nobler to listen to the lies and promises of outrageous pitchmen or to slit your throat on an electroplated stainless steel blade.
