I’ve opened my heart.encased many with my art, for free.I’d rather be poor; I’d rather be homeless.Than live a life born from lies.Little lies, lead to more.Anyways you twist themI’d rather simply continue to be me. Father, … Continue reading In Perpetuity: John Oross

Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross
All my lifeI’ve been homeless and alone, without a love of my own.What I have given away, trying to get her to look my way.There she is.She came from afar, left my heart and soul ajar.Then she walked away, touring about our world. I’ve kept her in my heart.Yes, right from the start. Gimme, gimme, … Continue reading Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross

To live life as a dream,is to live life to the fullest.To create what you can conceiveand to manifest art, then to let it go.

Cheers!: John Oross
I keep emptying,glass after glass,trying to forget,what I recall.Some memories are,NOT worth keeping.After all… Memory is indeed,a funny thing.We live out,lives making them.But without love,nothing is remembered.After all… I’ve kept giving,hoping for love.Made many millions,for other people.I am unknown,without a dime.After all… I’ve been homeless.I’ve been kind.I’ve been ruthless.I’ve been happy.

Every night you’re drinking,Hoping to forget your plight.Holding onto good times,Trying to make things right.But in the end;You … Continue reading We’ve Been Down This Road: John Oross
Wandering Thoughts: John Oross
Their fates have already been sealed.Both houses have merged through money.The few threw down their Kings.So a few can rule instead.Paper will never win versus love.For this is not a game. I tried to give for free,Towards all who came to me.But that isn’t enough for them.My soul is what they want.To saddle me with … Continue reading Wandering Thoughts: John Oross
