Can It Go On? . . .

 

https://depositphotos.com/vector-images/perfidy.html

What’s in a name?

Words are just words.

Such compromise,

Faithless was she.

Deceitfulness; treachery,

Breeching a trust; perfidious.

No way to know 

Well in advance,

Now it’s all clear,

Reaped what she sowed.

Had to go.

Dishonor waits 

On perfidy.

Rising above 

Your misery.

False man forgets worldliness.

Minus or plus; perfidious.

Cowards and fools 

Hiding beneath lies.

Accusat’ry,

In you just like me,

Will not die.

Duplicity; two-facedness,

Untrustworthiness confuses me.

Such perfidy.

Disloyalty,

Baseless intrigue,

Can it go on 

Indefinitely?

Perfidy.

Dumb . . .

. . . luck?

This 'song' was not originally intended to be a song. It was actually the 'break' or solo contained within the composition Third-Hand Intelligence (pre-OHO version) as it was written. I was pleased with the performance and the digital ensemble was simple yet effective. So when I was trying to decide how to bring 'Critic's Choice' (my 2nd album) to a close, this music made sense. Not sure if I'd call it dumb-luck or kismet, but for me, it worked.  Give a listen . . .

Blameless? . . .

http://clipart-library.com/cartoon-prison.html

(from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/paul-manafort-blameless-life_n_5c81bc3de4b08d5b785fc732)

". . . Judge Says Manafort Led An 'Otherwise Blameless Life.' His Resume Says Otherwise. . . Prosecutors had argued that under sentencing guidelines, Manafort, 69, should serve between 19 to 24 years in prison after he was convicted in August on eight counts of tax and bank fraud. “Manafort acted for more than a decade as if he were above the law, and deprived the federal government and various financial institutions of millions of dollars,” they wrote, stressing that “the sentence here should reflect the seriousness of these crimes.”. . . But Judge T.S. Ellis called a decades-long term in prison “excessive” on Thursday, saying Manafort had “lived an otherwise blameless life.”. . . "

Of Coffee, Sugar, Etc. . .

https://depositphotos.com/vector-images/napoleon.html

Just when I thought my little 

Empire would never be conquered.

I was invincible. 

Went from the frying pan

Right into the fire.

Now I don’t care at all.

I’m one smooth operator,

But standing two feet tall;

Was like some great dictator.

Damn the coffee. 

Damn the sugar. 

Damn the colonies.

Where’s my future?

What awaits me?

I don’t want to be

Napoleon of broken dreams.

So when I got myself

A taste of that glorious power.

It was intoxicating.

The more I took became

The more that I wanted. 

But soon the thrill was gone.

Wanted to meet my maker.

I’ll pay for what I’ve done 

Just like that great dictator.

Could be people like me

Should be alone.

Nothing is ever enough;

Enough for this eccentricity.

It’s said, by nature, that a

Man can become territorial.

And I’ve been known to do it.

Simple offense became 

An outright obsession.

I got my just desserts.

Maybe I’ll see you later.

But still it could be worse

Just like that great dictator.

Broken

A Capella . . .

https://www.singers.com/group/doo-wop/

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_cappella)

". . . A cappella . . . Italian for 'in the style of the chapel'. . .  music is a performance by a singer or a singing group without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. The term a cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato musical styles. In the 19th century, a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony, coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists, led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music. The term is also used, rarely, as a synonym for alla breve. . ."

I’ve never been one to follow trends.

I won’t be with the crowd 

When they round the bend.

But I’ll be here until the very end

‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

Fancy parties leave me cold and drained,

Discos, crowds and posturing in vain

Only feed some silly appetite unnamed.

Where it’s at is here with you.

I don’t want to see the moon,

Fly to Paris, May or June.
I just want a one-way fare

To anyplace where you’ll be there.

I don’t need gold or precious things,

Fancy clothes or even diamond rings.

I just want the thrill that being with you brings.

‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

For fame or power, I have no desire.

I don’t crave acceptance, or to be admired.

I’m just happy sitting with you by the fire.

Where it’s at is here with you.

Here With You
