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
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

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

Hungry Dopes
A pizza delivery man was beaten to death a few towns over where I live 3 years ago. Three teenage geniuses who decided this was the way to get some free food. They took all of the delivery man's pizza, but left the $500 that was in the man's pocket!

Wealthy in the Ways that Matter
Yeah, so…
By everyone else’s standards
I’m pretty much broke
I haven’t held a job since 1996
Health problems qualified me
To live off the government
I worked from the moment I could
Until the moment I couldn’t
I was twenty-eight years old
When I stopped being a workaholic
And began adjusting to life with less
It took quite a while
It wasn’t pretty
I don’t own a car
I rarely travel
I live in a rent controlled apartment
Budgeting is more than a necessity
I’ve learned to be comfortable ...

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,
or an extended vacation

As the World turns
look East they chanted
look East, look East
and they did
the vanquished was lavish
in their achievements
hail sons of the Rising Sun
work hard o' children of toil
till the land
cut the hills to make plantations
sully the water
who cares, they are for monkeys
what...you need that for survival
monkeys or humans
choose....
oh look the money's coming
ker ching ...ker ching
lets spend it on a ship
an old used one
that will never sink
the rest of the money is mine

Getting Paid
Put that shit in his face, fucking face to face
His fear is spread on the table, let’s take a taste
That shit fucking hit me like this bitch is laced
His emotions are a lie, deception has his as on free base
Is that shit in the walls, boy you better tell it all
I’m about to blow this bitch up and then I’m going to the mall
Blow that bitch up, me and my boys participating in a free for all
Up on camera getting all shiny when the police comes to call
PD and Lil Runt sniff that shit out
Double L break everything on that bitch except his...

Hazel Hated Fat Women
My grandmother wore high heels well into her seventies. Her size six outfits were impeccable, complimented by rings with multi-carat stones. The glint of diamonds and emeralds prompted dim-witted queries from strangers: "Is that real?"
With a wave of her manicured hand, platinum polish flawless against olive skin, she'd dismiss the commoner. "Yes dear, of course." Her tone was dry ice.
A doting and fun grandmother, she was cautiously benevolent to outsiders.
There was one subset of humanity, however, to which she was downright cruel: fat women. Obese...

From My Desk To Your Mind Part Four (Blood Sacrifice III)
I wish as a prominent published author, my published novels made into Oscar and Academy awrd winning movies, plenty of opportunities for television roles soliciting at my door, the prestige by the recognition of my face, mmm… handsome, healthy, and virile men at my beck and call, pleasuring me in bed (hey a girl can dream can’t she).
Well hard work and dedication to a five year education goal, minus one for life experience to earn a Master’s Degree in Nursing, and then submitting my intellect of academia training and scholastic learning of higher education to a grueling, hard,...
