Pimp’s Court
Sitting at the light as my wheels are spinnin
Collecting money from my ho’s because I’m big pimpin,
“Hennessey in one hand while I’m smooth sippin
Gun on standby-in case the trigger have to start clickin,
“Girls on my dick, because my nuts taste like chicken
Pissing their men off so bad their simp ass start shittin,
“The foul mouth fuckers in their grill I’m straight hittin
And my pistol will smoke, before I’ll ever start slippin,
“Full motherfuckin throttle, shattering courage like a bottle
Making...

Erasure of an Inconvenient Life - True Crime #1
I consider it a great privilege to witness the passing of a soul into eternity, whatever that may be. There is something miraculous about the quickness of the transitions and emotional changes sometimes involved. It was such with Susan, a 44-year-old divorced mother of three in a Chicago suburb.
I remember my own days of youthful exuberance, though they were spent far from the pomp and pageantry of Susan's. Her teenage years were a portrait of American virtue—a tableau of school spirit and ambition. She had been the epitome of the all-American girl, her days a blur of pom-poms,...

My Final Words...To You
To you my love,
By the time you read this letter, I will be passed on
Please don't cry.
I know how much you loved me & I loved you.
The pressure from my wife and "The Boss" was getting the best of me.
I know she was going to find out everything about me and all of my secrets.
I owed "The Boss" over $30,000.00
He was out to kill me.
It was either me serving prison time, or being beat and murdered by him or me committing suicide.
Obviously I went with the latter.
No one can or will trace me to you.
No one knew...

If Only Sheep Need A Leader, Then Why Are You Such A Follower?
Hello sheep of planet earth
I'm here to tell you something about most of you
You're all being duped as you live your pathetic, mundane lives
The ruling class are watching and following every single move you make
Don't forget, get the latest smart device for yourself or for your home
You deserve it
Can you picture life without all of these awesome, high-tech devices
No!?
I figured you'd answer with no
You're all so goddamn lame and fake
Everyone is so comfortable and lethargic
That's the key to their control
You all rather watch some...

Former Groupie Hates Influencers
She graced the cover of an important arty magazine
looking much like Twiggy
all big eyes and early 70s corkscrew tendrils
skin smooth as an alabaster pond
A year later she was dating the drummer of Deep Purple
I wonder if he appreciated what a good artist she is.
Her list of accolades, fifty years later, is impressive
She stopped wearing eye makeup ten years ago
It's irritating, she shrugs
her older, very wealthy husband
whom she has loved for 30 years
now has Alzheimer's
There's nothing to look forward to
she says ...

Unexpected Generosity
Sarah pushed open the creaky door, the memories of her first encounter with Lauryn lingering in the air. There was a low hum of conversation from the men lining the bar, but all tables were empty on this Tuesday afternoon. Sarah spotted Lauryn in the same corner, a solitary figure nursing a glass of wine. Taking a deep breath, Sarah approached, the familiar pang of resentment and empathy weighing her down.
"Lauryn," Sarah said in a cracking voice.
Lauryn looked up with questions in her eyes. "Sarah, hi," she said, offering a small, uncertain smile. ...

My Last Post on AP
Hi, to all my fans and supportive readers, I just came back to tell you goodbye.
Mischievous LGBTQ people have been fighting against my work since I joined this website.
The administrator of AP is undoubtedly a partial, unjust and unwise man.
He has easily played right into the hands of the wicked LGBTQ individuals.
This is exactly what they want, but their malicious actions will not dissuade me.
I thought the administrator of this website had integrity, but I was wrong.
Is he a member of the LGBTQ community or did they corrupt him with money?

Got Money?
Got Money is the song at the top of the charts,
Even when it's called Broken Teeth or it's called Broken Hearts,
God Money is the vibe on the block that you hear,
And it's funny and it's also just a little bit queer
That money could be conjured from a young child's ear?
Play money
So money is the subject, the object is paper,
Get enough paper for a guest skyscraper,
Throw enough paper and you never did rape her
For a high enough price justice becomes vapour
Sick money.
Is How I bought a yacht for my...

The Account
If I were to name and count, the reasons that I still have doubt. I wouldn't know just where to begin...but then again.
Digging in the dirt, sifting through the hurt. Perception seems like birth, of laboured love and worth. The pain you have endured, don't mean you have been cured of the reasons there's still doubt, that you can name and count.
Of course the source will try to apply more pressure to regret. Deny but still rely on force to bury treasure spent on sentiment. To forget the names and lose the count, a great amount remains as doubt. Demeans the reasons claimed about....

all life's amazing journeys
If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you
can’t walk, then crawl; but whatever you do, you have to keep
moving forward.”―Martian Luther King Jr.
i.
all life's amazing journeys
begin and end in silence,
some burnished in the furnace,
some silenced soon by violence.
but in between the moaning
of navel string detachment,
and last rites filled with groaning
at casket-lid attachment,

Worthless Tenants
Chapter 1
Electricity Bills
Mr. Perry brought some important issues to the attention of the worthless woman who shared the house with him. Firstly, he talked about the electricity bills. He said that the utility company had his wife’s phone number and the company had been sending the electricity bills to her phone, but that edition of the electricity bills only showed the total amount that was to be paid and the due date. Mrs. Perry and her husband could not rely on that insufficient information to pay the electricity bills.
