BIG BUTCH BARKS BACK


Created for some of the more raw and painful aspects of growing up different. Sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always honest. Sometimes, the language is very harsh because pain is not gentle.

I am determined to chronicle all aspects of living with absolute candor and genuineness. It allows a connection with others at a deep soul level because they see that you understand their struggles when you reveal your own. If you are offended by cursing or expect the beauty you see on my other blog, Whisper Creek, then you may want to avoid this one. This is the very human side of me, the one God plainly sees. It is the part that God is healing. Let that be my witness.

Numb, Empty Eyes



You can make me feel so high, I would die if I fell
and you can make me feel so low like I'm swimming in hell
but when the phone finally rings and you are clear as crystal
all I can feel inside now is like a stone cold pistol.

There was once when one and one always made two 
but when I look around now, I no longer see you.
And I don't even know how I should feel
cause being alone still seems so unreal. 

Well, I know I'm gonna make it, I'm too stubborn otherwise
but when you look at me, you may find empty eyes,
being numb can sometimes have its benefits
cause sometimes there's no other way of keepin' my wits.

But it makes it kinda tough to ever love again
Don't wanna be run over by a reality train
To think all is fine and dandy, and life is all grand
only to find out I had my head stuck in the sand.

Well I think I still have sand grains stuck in my eyes
cause I personally thought that I was a pretty good prize
held you up on the pedestal of a living queen
made lovin' you part of my daily routine.
Guess its time to learn a whole new way of livin'
cause I still got lots of love that really worth givin'
so if you find that you really want to step aside
I'll make the hurting of the world my new lovin' bride.

Our Queen, Our Home, Our Mother Earth



Father God and Mother Earth
if you had known before our birth
that we would rape and plunder our own Earth Mother
kill and steal for greed, our sisters and brothers,

Would you have created us anyway
or waited for just one more day
and maybe considered that mankind
would be arrogant, overbearing, not intertwined.

Set apart from the rest of your creation
but consider nature their own pissing station.
Do you groan now and shake your head
thinking maybe Mother would prosper if only we were dead?

Do you regret when you made us from the clay
do we disappoint because we disobey?
Do you discuss among yourselves how we learned to hate
make war, make signs, instead of trying to relate.

Have you noticed that its easier for us to feel anger
than compassion when we see our Mother in danger?
Just what kind of selfish children have we become
what kind of hateful, hurtful, raping scum?

But as always, there is good among the bad
the children you are proud and happy you had
and for them you keep the population alive
and give them a chance to make peace revive.
Their voices quiet and scattered until one day
they find each other and start to pray
for guidance and protection in protecting for all we are worth
our Queen, our Home, our Mother Earth.
