Rodney• Show poetry

I would like to thank EVERYONE who has stopped by here to read my scribbles, rants and raves and thoughts. Both of my books (Lost and Found) and (Locked and Loaded) are available through Barnesandnoble.com and www.authorhouse.com.
Thanx again.

P.S. If you get the chance, get a hold of anything by Henry Rollins. You won't be sorry.




"and if I show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight?
and if I open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do?
would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
would you take the children away
and leave me alone
and smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone.
would you send me packing
or would you take me home?

thought i oughta bare my naked feelings
thought i oughta tear the curtain down
i held the blade in trembling hands
prepared to make it but...just then the phone rang
i never had the nerve to make the final cut."
(The Final Cut~Pink Floyd)


"If I listened to everything they said to me I wouldn't be here.
If I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows
shot my way I wouldn't be here.
The ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to
put you down.
You could spend your entire life in the nowhere land of self
doubt.
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.'
(Shine~Rollins Band)


"The things you want to know about me,
are the things I already want you to know.
Or, things that I want you to find on your own.
How can that be wrong?"
(Buscandome~Non-Point)


"When they cracked the whip,
nothing was said.
When the flames burned,
nothing was said.
When they notched the barrels,
nothing was said.
When the bays opened,
nothing was said.
When the dogs were set loose,
nothing was said.
When colors run red,
nothing was said.
When the innocent cried in the face of the guilty,
NO ONE SAID ANYTHING!
(White Noise~Corrosion of Conformity)
