"Underground"
by Rickey James Breen

take me down
lose me in the underground
graffiti in the sky
all the locals getting high
alcohol in alleyways
we'd rather have the world sideways
minute to minute, this is life - normal
penny to penny, resisting the formal
militantly protecting freedom and expression
art is our weapon, we're fighting oppression

"Little Closed Book"
by Rickey James Breen

Lay around, waiting to be read
not opening for anyone
don't judge the cover,
and it'll let u in

Always pending just how far you go
and you'll enjoy it all the more
as the pages go by and by

"It's Still Here"
by Rickey James Breen

why did you let me get so weak
i can't move on, and i can't breath,
can't think, sleep, eat, or be
without you, i can't be me

you pull me back, and you hypnotize
you make me cheat, and you make me lie
i just can't be somebody else
without you, i'm not myself

even after all this time
i still want you back, as mine

"White Wedding"
by Rickey James Breen

Just like
any white wedding
we came to be, here,
together

Candles
lit eloquently
symbol of eternal
love - don't burn out

Pictures
don't mind the smiling
we were just hiding
all of our fears

Us, Children
gave into a power
that seemed like an hour
but went on for years

"Bus People"
by Rickey J Breen

Lady with the fuzzy hat
you ride the bus all day long
the circular trip
doesn't make you sick
you're always there, like nothing's wrong

Electric-kid doesn't tie his shoes
I wonder if he owns a comb
never smiles - to hide his braces
his stops are always random places
I bet he doesn't have a home...

"Profession Of Love"
by Rickey J Breen

I've never been in love before
this time though, I think I found it
I knew it at first glance,
I did,
when our blue eyes connected

You looked at me, it rocked my world
I'd never be the same
just that one blink
the wink you winked
and my whole life you changed

Just one kiss from you would be
not a second stole
it not be,
