evil, gun for hire, jitman

I run a small business

A evil little business

My business is murder

I am a gun for hire

No job is to big or too small

What ever the problem is you

I can take care of it  all

So pick up the phone

And give me a call

I started this business about

twenty five years ago

I had a little problem,a problem

that needed to be fixed

That problem is no longer

around.

My problem disappeared

without a sound

Teach him for getting on my

bad side

You mess with evil,there is

nowhere to hide.

So I got to thinking

I know I am not the only

person with a problem

Other people out there have

problems

Problems that need to be

solved.

So I started leaving my business

card all around the city

On every corner of every street

let me get to the nitty gritty

If you find one of my cards

read the card it is not hard,then call

If I am not busy I will call back right

away.

So if you have the money,your

situation is about to be a situation

no more

So read the funeral notices in a few

days,and look for your problems name

You will see that Evil Incorporated,doesn’t

mess around and play games

So if you are happy with your problem

was solved.put out the word,and give

my company some well earned business

Cause taking care of business,is what

Evil Incorporated is all about

I am home cleaning my weapons

Sharpening all my knives

So find my card,it is not hard

Call my number,and I will do a

number.

I love to rub out freaking lives

Evil Incorporated

Our motto is death

So remember you could be next

Sweet dreams.

Painkiller

15 Wednesday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in poems, stories

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

alcohol, depression, pills, sorrow

As my tears dry they leave a stain

A stain on my feelings,a stain on my

pain.

As my tears no longer flow,they cant

wash away my sorrow

Cant wash away my empty tomorrows

I need a pain killer,bone chiller,

A heart stiller.

There is nothing to look forward to,all

my friends have moved away.

They have all moved on,they now live

on the sunny side of the street.

in a different state,a different country

moved from the cold into the heat.

I am tired of being lonely,living my life

by myself.

I am tired of being rejected,disrespected

Treated like a piece of dirt

I might not show it,but it hurts.

I need a pain killer,bone chiller,heart stiller

The pain leaves a stain,sometimes the stain

Is so bad it will never come out.

And sometimes the pain is so bad I want to

let it all out,scream and shout.

The cut runs deep,it cuts me to the core

I really cant stand it,I cant take it anymore.

I got myself a painkiller,a bone chiller,a

heart stiller.

A packet of pills,to cure all my ills.

Take one at a time,take the whole pack

Once you have taken the lot

there is no coming back

I don’t really want to end it all

Losing dignity,taking the final fall.

They say love conquers all.

What a crock of shit.

I have never known love,not even a

little bit.

Give me some painkiller,bone chiller

heart stiller.

Always getting kicked around,put down

I am on the ground,I cant get any lower

I can feel something different,my is getting

slower.

The stain is spreading,the pain is more

intense.

Put me out of my misery,don’t keep me

in suspence.

I have taken the painkiller,why am I still

breathing.?

I lay on the floor gasping,dry heaving

I wipe my mouth,realising I am still

alive.

Why? Just give me a needle,put me down

like a dog.

Give me a double dose,go the whole hog.

This so called painkiller isn’t really working

As painkillers go,this one really sucks.

It has no killer punch,no final solution

That is about right,just my freaking luck

I cant even kill myself properly,I am a

failure,i cant do anything right.

The pills didn’t work,but a hand gun might

I will go shopping tomorrow,buy myself a gun

Have a final beer,then have a little fun

When I get home,I am going to do it,with a

Little class.

I will pull the trigger.

Then disappear up my own arse.

Locket In My Pocket

12 Sunday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

I run through the back lane trying to

beat the garbage truck man.

I threw something away,something I

should have kept and treasured.

A present from my girlfriend.

A strand of her hair,that she put into

a locket.

I put it in my pocket,next to my rocket.

Well the locket in my pocket

was burning a hole in my soul

My rocket is grounded,it has blown

a fuse.

It has the under used blues.

Now you can see why I threw the

locket away.

I wasn’t getting enough action

So the locket went,straight in the bin

Have I committed a mortal sin.

The locket in my pocket

Is eating its way out of my jeans

by any way any means.

You already know what I did

It is in the trash.

My baby likes my money,she really likes

my cash.

She costs me more money than a freaking

car crash.

Maybe that locket had the bad voodoo

It brought bad luck and trouble like a hoodoo.

I am feeling uneasy,as I go through the trash

That locket took a lot of effort and cost plenty.

Well I found the locket at the bottom of the bin.

I am feeling a lot better,and to stop any future

hassles I went out and bought a safety pin.

I pinned that locket in my pocket,

So I cant throw it away.

My rocket is also pleased that you are here to stay.

The locket in my pocket

Is all safe and secure

The locket in my pocket

Is there forever more.

You Are The Only Drug

11 Saturday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

You are the only drug,I want to inject

in to my veins

Your love will flow in my blood

It will enter my brain.

And nothing will ever be the same.

You are the only drug,that I want in

my system.

like a 1.8 litre fuel injected piston.

You are the only drug,and I know

there are a lot of drugs out there.

I have been around a long time,

I have had my share,I am talking

about love,the love from above.

Forget about ice,crack,herion,or

cocaine.

When I am high I call out your name.

I get high on dopemine,it is flowing

through my brain.

The natural high,chemical free.

Like the nectar from a honey bee.

We are together,you and me.

You are the only drug.

Our love is heaven scent.

The perfume from above.

It floats down through the clouds

On the wings of a dove.

Your name is Linda or is it Lucinda?

I cant quite remember,I guess you

weren’t the only drug I tasted last

night.

Only joking baby,you the only drug

for me.

You make me feel good,pure,wild

and free.

The Outsider

10 Friday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

I live on the edge of society

right on the edge of town

I am the outsider,the undecider,

The lone rider.

People tend to shy away when

they see me coming their way.

I shuffle along pushing my shopping

trolley.

It is full of all of my belongings,

a jumper,blanket,and all of my

broken dreams.

I tried to keep my life together

But it all started to wither.

All of my grapes fell off the vine.

Without any chance to turn into wine.

I live in the bush in a shallow cave.

If I don’t watch out it will turn into

A shallow little grave.

I have always been kind of lonesome.

The Outsider,living my life on the streets.

The Outsider,dancing to a different beat.

I have always just wanted to fit in

You know,not to fat,not to thin

Not to quiet,not to loud

Just to be part of the crowd.

Just to be a regular member of the

human race.

To have friends,and my own living space.

But when you are pushed around and

knocked to the ground.

It is hard to get up and have a look

around.

I tried to sneak a look,but all I saw was

a whole lot of trouble.

So I stayed on the ground,didn’t look

around.

I lived in the dirt,till it hurt.

The Outsider,undecider,the lone rider

Living on the edge of the city.

Full of false bravado,and self pity.

My shopping trolley has got a broken

wheel.

All my self worth down in the gutter.

What more can go wrong,why do I have

To suffer.

There is no answer to that question

I am just talking to the moon.

That’s it see you soon.

From the Outsider,the lone rider,

The undecider.

PS Once again this is a story,it is all

made up,or is it? haha.

Juvenile Delinquint

09 Thursday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

When I was thirteen some friends and I

decided to go for a ride on our push bikes.

We did our best riding at about midnight

When all the stores were closed.

We shunned the day time shopping,where

You pay through the nose.

We would ride and ride,until we found a

Suitable venue for our misbehaviour and

Our juvenile delinquent ways

Juvenile delinquent

Is that what I was?

Juvenile delinquent

Is that who I am?

I was a good boy until I fell in with the

wrong bunch of kids.

They showed me the darker side of the

Streets.

I saw the seedier side of life where your

body is up for bids.

Well we rode around at night,causing trouble

And mayhem,for going on two years.

Causing shop owners to lose money and

plenty of tears.

Juvenile Delinquint

Is that what I was?

Juvenile Delinquint

Is that who I am?

Well we went for a ride one night,what we

Didn’t know,it was to be our last

The long arm of the law,was just about to

Tap us on the shoulder.

Our flag is gonna fly half mast.

We had had a good run,but I was glad when

We got busted

It was getting out of hand,things were getting more

and more dangerous.

It was the money,thrills and cigarettes that we

Lusted.

At the end we had our tails between our legs,heads

Down and ashamed,we were led into the court room.

We had to face our punishment,maybe get put away

For a while.

And go to a place where they don’t know the meaning

Of a smile.

We waited a long time for the judge to return from his

Chambers,he gave us look,and told us to stand.

He gave us three years probation,I guess God was

Holding our hands.

We got off light and easy,we didn’t really pay the price for

Our stupidity.

We know we got lucky,cause we escaped the dirty part

Of the city.

Juvenile Delinquint

Is that who I was?

Juvenile Delinquint

That is not who I am.

PS once this is totally made up,it is not about me or

anyone.

My Sobs My Cries My Weeps

07 Tuesday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

My girl friend just told that after three years of

going out.

That she was looking for someone else.

She was getting a hunger for something new.

A new saddle to jump.

A new pelvis to hump.

I couldn’t believe it,it came out of the blue.

I thought all was going well,it just goes to show,

You can never tell.

Well in between,my sobs,my cries,my weeps

I tried to carry on.

Tried to sing the same old song.

What was different,what went wrong?

I didn’t want to want to show it,but her leaving,

really cut me deep.

What happens to the ring I gave her?,What about

the engagement.

I guess she has come to a new arrangement.

My Sobs,My Cries,My Weeps.

Every night they soak my pillow,soak my sheets,

I think I am going to drown in my own misery.

It has been three months since she walked out that

door.

I guess she aint coming around here no more.

I am trying to move on,to sing a new song,the chorus

and verse are easy,the bridge is the hardest part,it is

the span between the space.

Where I need to save face.

My Sobs,My Cries,My Weeps.

Are slowly starting to dry,I have finally found the

answer to the question.Why?

My Sobs,My Cries,My Weeps

Have finally turned to dust.

Is it God or the Devil,in who we trust?

I just hope my love life,hasn’t turned to rust.

Space Perspective

05 Sunday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

I am looking through a wormhole,

but where is the worm?

I am feeling kind of uneasy

I am starting to squirm.

This whole thing about space

are we all alone?

Did ET get to phone home?

I am on a bit of of a guest

It is all about perspective

It can be rather deceptive

Maybe I am the space detective

It is all about whether we are alone

in this or other universes

Are there other beings or enitys

out there?

You need more than hope or a

strong telescope

You need to get on a space craft

You need to go a journey

I am on a bit of a guest

It is all about perspective

It can be rather deceptive

Maybe I am the space detective

What is the popular opinion

What is the concensus

Do you believe?

Do you want to know?

I am flying to the milky way

Riding the tail of a comet

Flying among the space junk

and debris

I am still looking for the answer

to the question Are we alone?

But the perspective  part of this

poem is the main point

After all it is the title of this story

When you look into the scheme

and look at the whole picture,you

will see that we are all just a dot in the

cosmos

A tiny little speck,nothing more then

a full stop.

We could travel and venture for a

thousand years

Will we ever find the answer?

Time will tell

What is really out there,we can only

sit and ponder.

What is there in the great unknown

yonder.

Killer

04 Saturday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Good evening people welcome to the show

I am going to tell you a story,in all its guts

and glory.

This story is about a killer,a serial killer,who

has never been caught.

All the police efforts to find him have come

to nought.

It all started in about 1990,when bodies started

to surface in the dunes on the north coast,and

body parts started to arrive in the post.

A finger was sent to the police.

A toe to the papers.

A ear was sent to the mayor,where is it going to

go from here.

A few years have gone it is now 1996.

The killer is still on the loose,still seeking

Wanting a way to get his kicks.

The death toll has reached 28 with no end in

sight.

Forensics have arrived at the latest death scene.

There might be a break through,they examine

what could be a bite mark.

It is a another dead end,the evidence doesn’t

add up.

The cops has chasing shadows,chasing their

own tails.

The killer is in a flaming rage,he loves to see

his exploits splashed across the front page.

His ego is getting bigger.

The death toll is getting longer.

New years eve in the year 2000

There is no celebration.

There is a killer scaring the crap out of the

whole nation.

2005,has just come and gone,the killer is

still slicing and dicing.

It is now 2014,the misery has gripped the whole

country.

84 people have come to a grizzly end.

But there is no need to worry,this is just a

story.

The killers rage is just my pen going across

the page.

Secrets And Me

03 Friday Oct 2014

Posted by stevenjohnno in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

A friend told me a secret just the other day

And I swore on my mothers grave,that I

would never tell a living soul.

Well it took all of five minutes before I opened

up my pie hole.

Secrets and me,are like cheese and chalk

It want take long,im a gonna talk.

I just cant help myself,they say,loose lips

will sink ships.

Well me and my mouth have sunk the whole

goddamn fleet.

My friend gave me another chance,and told me

something in confidence.

And once again,I said,mate,you can trust me,

My mouth is shut.

Well, I kept it shut for about two days.

But the tension was driving me insane.

I had to tell somebody and get this secret

off my chest.

So I phoned a friend,and well,you can guess

the rest.

Secrets and me,are like cheese and chalk

It want take long,Im a gonna talk.

I cant help myself,I try,but the words just

slip out.

Just like a torpedo,your secret is on the loose.

Me and my mouth,just killed the golden goose.
