Capn' Woody writes and produces Spoken Word pieces from the poems and lyrics that wander his mind!
Hello, Clippers sailed on many a journey, I invite you to journey with me ---- I am a simple man who has journeyed near and far. My experiences have taken me to foreign lands and across the country. One constant has guided me, there are great people and great beauty everywhere. I work in the education arena now but my career has spanned many fields. I have loved, laughed, struggled and cried. My foundation is set in a belief of more good than evil, more fair than not, more time for admiration, less time for hate. May you enjoy my work and may we make beautiful music together someday.

Story behind the song
Elections come around and people just hear the soundbite commercials and polls...maybe vote but more likely not...too busy, don't you know. Just because an educated vote is the most important liberty we have, no need to exercise all the time...right?
Lyrics
Hear the youth; hear the aged all simply ragin’ ‘Cause politics are boring while politicians are whoring for a vote-- Yet whose vote are they shaking their legs to attract? Their hearts are hoping you don’t ever find your way back-- To the polls of their game playing ways which they control No lever here to pull Inside, Stay away. They play in their HD sandbox called a tube, With the sound bite world controlling those who dare to stroll Out and vote what they think they know when there isn’t even a clue-- For the sounds all are the same, take back our freedom from their reign-- Ain’t happening this year since most just want to jeer, Make mine an ice cold beer-- Yeah fool! All the same, Right turns to left turning right with no center to track, Constitution is an illusion founded by fathers whose daughters gave birth To sons who corrupt and adulterate freedoms meaning through fear Created to scare us to beg for protection from terror outside From within this darkness we must hide, don’t dare fight! Damn, don’t you feel their smite Be safe, Give control, God Bless the USA, it’s ok if you can’t get out and vote on Election Day-- Just stay busy living life while taxes are taken without hesitation, Better work some more knowing your vote counts only one-- Then of course there is the next election for you to join, Which works out fine since this one is already done don’t you know? We’re all buried in snow! Land of Liberty!?
