ALAN BERGER - POEMS

Alan Berger has a few films on Netflix etc that he wrote and directed.
He lives in West Hollywood with the memories of four fine Siamese cats.​

​GOOD GOD
BAD GOD

​Partners all along
Different words
Same song
 
Two evil charismatic goons
Same intentions
Different tunes
 
Same techniques regarding interrogations
That includes
Redemption salvation damnations
 
In the end everyone pays
Everyone drinks from the same bucket of kool aid
 
Both, of these guys are extremely mean
Didn’t know
They’re on the same team
 
They got kicked out of Mars
Many moons ago God Damnit
Surveyed the stars
Then decided on this planet
 
Same preach
Different speech
 
Same scent
Different accent 
 
Then one day
They said that’s enough
They gathered their stuff 
Went together
Looking for greener pastures
For the new version of biblical disasters
 
 

​I DON’T KNOW

I don’t know who I am
I don’t know who I was
Please keep that a secret
Just between the two of us
 
Don’t let it get out
Don’t let it get in
It’s not for the public
It’s for the private within
 
Out of gas for the future
No memory for the past
Might as well say to myself
Alone at first, Middle, and last
 
Thought I had it made
Until I submerged from the shade
I found my way
Had become waylaid
Doesn’t really matter
Tomorrow is another decade
 
 

​I’M OK 

​I know I’m ok
When I laugh to myself
I know I’m ok
When my inventories
Align with my shelves
 
I know I’m ok
Knowing I’m breathing
And not under dirt
I know I’m ok
Handy handling  the hurt
I know I’m ok
Escaping the worst
 
I know I’m ok
With this attitude
Maintaining this altitude
Water and heat
Followed with food
A clean windshield
A horn that still toots
And still receive haircuts
That makes an old man look cute
