The Three Month Old King
Come in little new year, crawl right in
shy of four months with a halo of a dead moon
‘round your reared head, bearing headline news
we were worried on arrival, speculating
the unimaginable: pains, gains and heartbreaks
carrying last year’s wars, bombs and shrapnel
to cut right through the skin
revealing disease of all mankind
on full volume topping the charts.
A Corona…the coronet of your 3 month reign
but we both know the core of the truth
there are just too many of us populating the earth
destructing more than...
shy of four months with a halo of a dead moon

Letter from Hell
To everyone who has been
pained by this lockdown of
places anc other things
Sue the Freaking Goverment
For Money or write a letter
To Trump himself ask
for help because it seems
that the world is going
mad and crazy
because of this frenzy
pained by this lockdown of
places anc other things
Sue the Freaking Goverment
For Money or write a letter
To Trump himself ask
for help because it seems
that the world is going
mad and crazy
because of this frenzy

Covid 19
Corona virus is everywhere
Which goverment lab
Crested it why now
Where is the cure
Doctors need to work
faster to find the cure
Because people on
Lockdown are going
mad and crazy at people
who buy to much stuff
and try selling to people
At crazy ass prices
And people are killing
Each other for this
End this now PLEASE!

Lockdown
Crazy I am
Frenzy is getting to me
I want Freedom
But I understand
People need to be safe
But when will the cure
Be found
Which goverment is
Responsible for the frenzy
Will everything be the same
After the frenzy is over
Frenzy is getting to me
I want Freedom
But I understand
People need to be safe
But when will the cure
Be found
Which goverment is
Responsible for the frenzy
Will everything be the same
After the frenzy is over

Banner of the Sun
there will be days that never seem to end
as we sit in gloom, they always do
one way the other we make it through
when the strain gets to great
your shoulders seem to not be able to bear the weight
condition yourself for future endeavors
because life has not yet dealt all it has to offer
fear not for the life we lead is only governed by the attitude we display
be grateful with what you have
straighten up your back to push through the day
the current times seem strenuous, tedious
with nothing to do but be governed by fear ...

I Have No Opinion About That
I do not watch or read the news
I cannot mingle as I choose
Ten children means I tend the nest
It's how I shape society best
I have a busy husband
we both hate politics
But if we meddle
we worry most
about lawmakers,
policies
Elections are just
a pony show
...or so my brain says...

The Illusion of Inclusion
The illusion of inclusion is confusing the masses
Getting head in bed from elephants and asses
Making them feel fantastic while they're being deceived
Because Houdini politicians have tricks up their sleeves
They appease by telling you and me what we want to hear
Puppeteers attempting to manipulate us by using fear
They're the clear and present danger like a stranger to a child
Putting on shows like erotic hoes getting wet and wild
Getting head in bed from elephants and asses
Making them feel fantastic while they're being deceived
Because Houdini politicians have tricks up their sleeves
They appease by telling you and me what we want to hear
Puppeteers attempting to manipulate us by using fear
They're the clear and present danger like a stranger to a child
Putting on shows like erotic hoes getting wet and wild

Monsters Walk
Monsters walk the earth in your name
with flocks aligned without shame
to the masters born of men
thought to speak without sin
by declarations the die is cast
to ensure the cause will last
beholden to only power’s grab
there is no difference between good and bad
it’s not enough to serve the day
instead the masses are asked to pray
that generations will feel the yoke
now condemned by the words spoke
faded edicts stooped with age
cherry-picked to the dismay
of targets not of the flock
those decried to...

Sex Drugs and Politics
The emancipation of a nation leads to sexual frustration now you have an obligation to increase your masturbation
You won't always have the time and you won't always have the patience
If you swallow all the lies you'll end up another patient
I'm sick of wanking myself to death, dreaming politics
Now i need a doctors hand to come untie my bollock twist
I'm so sick of being lied to and this country that I'm tired to is sick of being fucked up by the men that wear their ties blue
Sex, drugs and politics
Im obsessing over all of it

EVEN THEN
even before the pandemic
there were second notices
in the mail box
and every dollar stretched
and the family packed
in that piece of crap
her cousin gave her
riding on fumes
eking by 'til Friday
back then
there was a box of so-called staples
from the food pantry
and calling the electric company
trying to keep the lights on
what with the rent due
and the little one needing shoes
even then she kept her distance
having been burned thrice
and so not trusting in the kindness of...
