A Hefty Fee
Reality always strikes between the eyes
Leaving it’s mark on the human psyche
Madness will cut everyone down to size
Life’s taxed even death costs a hefty fee

Wake The f**k Up!
This democracy is so full of hypocrisy
The digital age spawned a cesspool of degeneracy
Repeating the cycle of stupidity
Taking a shit on our civil liberties
Divide the blind from those who see
They infect this nation with ideas of freedom
A false reality is what they give us
In their promise to "save" us
Terrorist-tic tactics feed the machine
We are all just slaves to corrupted authority
The CIA and the DEA burned the constitution of the USA
While Politicians in DC are never locked away
The controlled...

A WICKED WORLD
As long as I can remember I never truly thought that my hometown. 🌆 NEW YORK CITY 🏙️ WOULD BE BLANKET IN SHADES OF 🌑 DARKNESS. THE YEARS OF THE INVASION 2020 to now 2024 OF THE MAGGOTS, CALLED THE NEW COMERS OF AMERICA. IMMIGRANTS AS THEY WERE SENT BY BUSES AND PLANES, even walking across the border. WHO KNEW WILL BE DESTROYING THE CITY LIFE. 😲 YET here is the truth of the devastation of crimes, with no punishment or jail time, murders and robbery, and the senseless killings of American citizen. WHO are people young and elderly and childrens....

Supply and Demands
So if the price of oil goes down
The price of gas is supposed to follow
But in today’s world and economics
The truth may be a little hard to swallow
I guess investors are laughing all the way to bank
Record profits are soaring sky high
While ordinary Joes and average Janes
Are getting their accounts sucked dry
I feel like a chump when I’m paying at the pump
Inflation and price gouging leave me feeling glum
My spreadsheets show how oil companies spread cheeks
And screw my wallet until kingdom come

Vegan to her is Ketchup
Perfection sucks
Give me ripped pantyhose
A button missing
Slutty in places of worship
My women curse a lot
Have ink on their hands
Dime store nail polish
Bad attitude
Vegan to her is ketchup
Health is codeine cough syrup
Blow jobs are her currency
Black leather jacket ripped at the elbow

LET'S HEAR IT FOR BUSYNESS
THINK!
I've heard it all my life:
"An idle mind is
the devil's workshop."
This sage proverb
is catalysis to stay busy.
"Don't let the grass
grow under your feet",
is another workaholic goody.
The reasoning behind this
pseudo-philosophy is you
can only get ahead, reach
your goal, or add bucks
to your bank account
by staying on the treadmill
none stop, 24-7-365.
BENEFITS:
Let's hear it for the benefits!

resting, taking a break,

There is one of these to see. (life)
Some propose scarcity -
While others propose abundance & manifestation.
And somehow…
Choice is involved.
But nevertheless…
Forces flow through the human organism
Into the light – like mushroom clouds
And rip the twines of the binary
with pure power.
In the wars of the titans
gods or godlike
Sophisticated weapons that shoot out stars
with Tesla rays
& take over the real estate
to create
lineage

Dial Portugal 1944
Under the cloak of neutrality,
Portugal, land of ancient navigators,
watched the world in calamity,
in the silence of their own fears.
Salazar, with his iron hand,
kept the war out the door,
but the echo of the conflict was sincere,
and in the gloom, hope was dead.
The Tagus reflected the moonlight
while spies danced in Lisbon.
War, a shadow that continues
in the story that memory sings.
Tungsten fueled the economy,
dark business in dark times.
Neutrality was a utopia
or a game between several...

So True
I'm a line of credit,
With no real value.
I open an account,
So I can devalue.
This fiat money,
Holds nothing true.
Just harassment and entrapment,
And lawsuits.
One day I'll wake up,
And subdue you.
You're my true currency,
And I pursue you.
With no real value.
I open an account,
So I can devalue.
This fiat money,
Holds nothing true.
Just harassment and entrapment,
And lawsuits.
One day I'll wake up,
And subdue you.
You're my true currency,
And I pursue you.

Nottingham
The martinet conservative
will claim they know about the state
whereto the rich the poor must give
to guarantee a happy fate.
The rich, they say, know money best,
and that is why they need your tax
for keeping merry men oppressed
and living in rude tents and shacks.
But Robin Hood had understood,
long before any Marxist did,
that tax was for the public good
and not just for some spoiled kid.
So go and check your dusty books
to get your money story straight
from Marx and Robin instead of crooks... ...

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

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 ...
