Here’s to the departed and depressed
To the lonely and the stressed
Here’s to the desolate and the weak
To those that hardly speak
Here’s to those filled with glorious sorrow
For all of those who dread tomorrow
Here’s to the aloof and afraid
To all who’ve ever used the blade
Here’s to all who feel a void
To all the souls that have been destroyed
Here’s another for all of the forlorn
For all those who have something to mourn
Here’s to all who have been scarred
For those that have hearts to guard
Here’s to all the insecure
To all of those who are unsure
Here’s to all of those who feel tense
To all who have permanent defense
Here’s to all of the unstable
To all of those who have been labeled
Here’s to all who feel like a disgrace
To all who leave without a trace
Here’s to all who feel bleak
To the strange and unique…
And to my fellow damned I say,
I hope we survive another day.

LOVE IS IMMORTALITY

I’ve come to know there are two MINDS
that live inside of me;
one can only know this world,
the other can be free.

The worldly MIND can never love,
thus does not understand,
when feelings ebb and flow inside
like waves upon the sand.

It finds no earthly reason why
a being lives or dies;
why feelings do not follow thought,
when Love is in my eyes.

The worldly MIND says all is well
no outer dangers near,
and yet the OTHER sounds alarms,
that ring inside my ear.

They both are there and both aware,
my BODY was their womb;
yet worldly MIND nust stay confined
within this mortal tomb.

The OTHER knows no boundaries
except in human life,
a SPIRIT MIND is not a man,
or boy or girl or wife.

Each time it joined a life on earth
it shared a BODY style,
for flesh is not identity
the form is just a trial.

MIND and flesh are vehicles
for SPIRIT use on earth;
the challenge each must meet in life
is giving love of worth.

Our feelings, Love and high ideals
are not a worldly trait;
fulfillment sought in worldly ways
insures a MORTAL fate.

My worldly MIND unfeeling thinks,
uncertain as to “why’s”;
the OTHER knows ‘thru me it loves
but if we fail … it dies!

Rhey W. Hedges, 1973

Bonzai Boy

Listen, listen, here they come
The words which form an art
Ever since the dawn of time
They bound and raped your heart
They pour out of the tv and
They pour down from the steeple
They twist and tie our children and
They make us bonzai people

From the womb unto the tomb
There's nowhere you can hide
From the moment you are born
They sculpture with your mind

Twist your arm and break your spine
It's one more way to make you mine
Tie your hands and chain your feet
And bind your mind with sweet deceit

From the womb unto the tomb
There's nowhere you can run
They'll play with you till they are through
They fuck your mind for fun

Now I'm writing with their words
They taught me them at school
Now I'll post them on the net
I'm just another fool

And now Il cry my hopelessness
All by myself, forlorn
I'll cry and scream because I am
Just someone else's pawn

I'm someone elses toy
I am a bonzai boy

From the womb unto the tomb
With careful hands they played me
And now I know it's how I grow
I am what they have made me

...

Send me to the looney bin
For all my crazy sins
Ship me off to the funny farm
With a padded room so i can do no harm
Take me away, have me committed
Be sure to get my straight jacket fitted
Send me to a place with real nice folks
That give me cookies and wear white coats

But i'm not as crazy as you think i am
It's my torretts that make me scream DAMN!
It was the gummy bears, green and blue
That told me strawberry pancakes flew
Twas the underwear gnomes, small and red
That ate my panties as i slept in bed
It was the condum fairies late at night
That stole my rubbers while out of sight
And the horny ghosts that rape me whilst i sleep
Are why i must keep changing my sheets
I wear insect repellent to bed
So the bed bugs don't eat my head
But none of those caused my twitch
That's from a spell by an evil witch
Who's mad i stole her purple shoes
That lay on my floor for the penguins to chew
But what really makes my head whirl
Is the evil fruit loops taking over the world
Who's only kryptonite is milk
But the cows quit til thier demands are met
Of world domination and a chia pet

So send me to the looney bin
For all my crazy sins
Ship me off to the funny farm
With a padded room so i can do no harm
Take me away, have me committed
Be sure to get my straight jacket fitted
Send me to a place with real nice folks
That give me cookies and wear white coats
And when the fruitloops take over
And you don't kno what to do
The voices and i will and laugh as we say
"we told you...."

We said we loved each other
and everyday it grew
We promised to be true
We prayed we eached stayed safe
We said we'd always be together
Obviously thats not true
Because now you have forgotten
the promises we made
You take my love for granted
and couldn't care less about my tears
Now they fall in numbers
To many to count
