Bullshitsky Boulevard
Take a walk down Bullshitsky Boulevard
Where you can buy a pack of lies.
Take a walk down Bullshitsky Boulevard
Where even masks are disguised.
Take a walk down Bullshitsky Boulevard
Where you don’t need no alibis.
Hustlers hustling by your purse;
Grafters grafting in your mind;
Liars swearing at a curse;
Stoners tripping up the blind.
There’s a beard covering a sinner.
There’s a tear hiding a whore.
There’s a loser say’s he’s a winner.
There’s a bourgeois who says he’s poor.
A good cop will pick your pocket.
A fireman will light a match.
A scientist will blow his rocket.
A pirate will sell his patch.
With your eyes you see skin deep.
With your ears you hear the noise.
You can buy talk that is cheap.
You can sell your latest ploys.
Ignorant teachers run the schools.
Illiterate authors write the books.
The wizened ones here are fools.
And the queens are switched for rooks.
A supreme judge bribes a thief.
A gory guru washes your brain.
A sane saint laughs in disbelief.
A stormy cloud shrinks in the rain
Near the lamppost there’s laughter at bad humor.
Leaning on the fire hydrant is a false mustache.
Growing near the tree is a malignant tumor.
Scratching on the sidewalk is a rust rash.
You can give this piece of bee ess a rave review
‘Cause you are walking down Bullshitsky Avenue
(This is a song I'm working on; please let me know what you think.)

Mendel i relly like it. good luck finshing it.
let me know when the debout (presumably with Isayha and the Prophets) is going to take place.
Jake, it's gantz gut!
i think i can put a tune to it:)
"Bullshitzky Boulevard" gives the impression that more 'chicken kiev' is on the way, but alas that's where it ends.
Perhaps you should consider another title, and from what we've seen, you're darn capable of coming up with something slightly less run-of-the-mill.
Very good.
Just wondering what (who) promted the song...
We miss you in this part of town.
prompted that is.
When you dont sign in you cant erase.
why dont you write or sing about something nice instead? theres so much good in the world.......
to anon1: didnt realize it was run of the mill; and i'm open to suggestions.
to trm: "alma d'shikra" and the story of the angels' droppings were the "prompts". (twas actuall on the eastern pkwy island, going from OT to home, that it popped in my head.)
to anon2: sometimes one needs to spell out the BS in order to uncover the gold - but you r right, and i'll try to focus more on the good than not good.
cant wait to hear the prophets to this one!
"There’s a beard covering a sinner"
If you're trying to keep this to a more universal message, I guess you should replace that line.
whats the point??
was that q directed at me or at anon hakodem?
Welcome
The ideas are great, and the words fine, but the actual poetry reads funny. The length of the stanza are not consistant, leading to difficult syntax and no real flow.
it fits a tune we made up.
xcept the last six lines - that i havent figured out yet.
i expect the CD title to be
"in the city of angel droppings"
That would be "Shmorei Oifanim"
Shlaime--- havent' heard from you in a while.
How can I get in touch?
-an old friend
interesting.....good poetry,odd title though it fits the topic...
