White China Moon
White china moon
Floating across Montana
Spy high above the clouds
In the land of the silos
Red china moon
Bobbing and weaving
Powered by the sun
About 60000 feet high
Looking for clues
White china moon
Floating by Missouri
Across the plains
Heading for where the wind goes
Red china says it’s about the weather
This balloon that strayed into our land
It’s not what they say but what they do
Can’t believe in their truth
Scramble the jets over South Carolina
6 miles...

The U.S.S. Tyrannic
People knew just how stupid things could get
then proceeded to vote that way again
so all their ballots could aid and abet
the greater evil and his toady men
now mandate confident with sucker votes
for double down syndrome bloviation
insisting on lies, or at best misquotes,
to finish off a once mighty nation
full of dipshits he knew would never learn
due to multivariate addictions
and subsequent lack of public concern
in the joint space of shared afflictions...
all tarred and feathered as communism
since private...

Neo-Confederate MAGA
has long promoted rape
with an electorate saga
the ladies can't escape.
So now..."fuck around and find out",
we hear without a doubt
so dudes look to your brazen snout
to see what's she's about.
And don't forget that their old men
can pull a Glock to cock
to fight your civil war again
and outline you in chalk.
Cuz no one wants to be your slave

Disguised Princesses
When beauty fades and all that's left, are betrayals, lies, and hatefulness.
Trying to hide yourself behind smiling emojis and it's all goods.
Doesn't mean that your words were misunderstood.
It's not like makeup, you can't hide the jabs.
The this and that or the that and this, and think the context was completely missed.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it's kind of hard to ignore the words that come out their mouth.
Things haven't changed. You're still trying to keep me down, by smothering my happiness and putting new flames out. ...

Hit Your Head In The Wall
Hit Your Head In The Wall
some reality, really ironic
the truth is left on the brink
shadows and twilights emerge
there's only vanity to summarize
poetry praising ego and libido
inked whims melt in the alter ego
they only smell of dirty stench
an empty soul will never quench
self centered attention stressed
the hopes for escaping repressed
introvert, shut in from reality
opposed symptoms of a double personality
insomnia and hallucinating senses

The sheep pay for my sins
The sheep pay for my sins
I make a call to you all
I’m being persecuted like an Orange Jesus
Won’t you get up and scream out or
Better yet open up your pocketbook
So you don’t have to suffer like me
Guilty of everything accused of
You don’t care about such nonsense
To busy chasing immigrants
Or the latest culture wars book burning being cancelled or trans bathrooms
You’re behind on your rent
Electricity being cut off
Need new tires on a shit pickup
But all I...

Billionaire Autocracy
Billionaire Autocracy
On a beach bunker in Hawaii
Electric car deep in Texas
Billionaire smile moves to Florida
Taking NASA away from us
Billionaires landing on the moon
Koch Brothers have been giving
Billions to roll back our rights
Billionaire with Nazi regalia
Crows that he has a Supreme Court Justice
In his back pocket he takes Clarence and Ginnie
On a Super Yacht as he buys Grand Ma’s house
Meta stealing billions off of our data
It’s...

A Useless Position
Waste of space, waste of money
People laugh but, it's not funny
ALL president's are a piece of shit
Nothing new, we have to deal with it
Circus clowns getting loud
Idiots with devious lies, make us proud!
Anyone could do the job,
Scandals and corruption, lets form a lynch-mob
Too much power, a frightful future
Starting wars for businessmen,
Beg on tv, become a moocher
Killing in the name of greed
Above the law, manipulate by planting the seed
It's just a show, all presidents are a pathetic joke
Everything's controlled by...

Off With Their Heads
Round them all up and take them down
It's quite unhealthy to leave them around
They breed disease and kill the trees
Pollute the air, make it hard to breathe
How many could you feed, instead of spending on luxuries?
Fancy cars and bigger homes, leave them alone
Disconnected from the masses, zero taxes paid, were the dumb asses
Surrounded by an echo chamber, everyone loves your flavor
Compliments, singing praises but, you're being manipulated
Only contempt for humanity, altered perception of reality
Community can't be bought and sold, no one...

Begging to be ruined
Reading the bullshit as it appears in front of your eyes
How many times have you read this?
You wish she could be a little more creative
She loves the attention on what you give
Life is short
So she says the things she should
Is she that fucked up or is she now looking for sympathy?
You put on a great performance
Running a good con on all of us
Hook, line & sinker
You take it to the limit
I mean you really take it to the limit
Maliciousness makes it even sound better
If you really have a problem,
Get what you need and...

Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectly imperfect
Beauty is in the eye
Different from person to person
See beauty in the most confounding places
Hair out of place shouldn’t matter
Walk in the door don’t wipe your feet
Prisoners of perfection
Mirror doesn’t turn around
Finds the fault line every time
Death by a thousand cuts
Pecking here and snipping there
Anything I do doesn’t rise up
Seeking perfection in a human
Maybe artificial intelligence
Will free her from your missing the point ...

Broken Promises, Broken Mirrors
No reasoning here
You've demolished many hearts
Mirrors tell no lies
You've demolished many hearts
