End of the Month
End of the month
Money is too tight
Scrape together all I have
Hoping it’s enough to pay the rent
But I walk around in a red hat
And I have t shirts and flags
Fake billionaire sweats orange off his skin
Selling his faithful on his lies
Send me money they’re persecuting me and you
Fake culture wars not really
But I need more money to keep this lie going
I’m being indicted for you
I did the crime but it’s you loser who will pay for me
Build the wall that falls down
Grifting on the highest...
Money is too tight

Fake culture wars not really
But I need more money to keep this lie going
I’m being indicted for you
I did the crime but it’s you loser who will pay for me

Orange Jesus
Orange Jesus will save us
From what I don’t know but he’ll tell you
Immigrants like our forefathers that made
The Great Green Lady hold a torch
Give me your poor your tired your hungry
That’s been our Brand way before trump
But Orange Jesus will save us from what I don’t know
Get to the punch bowl at the party
Buts it’s only Orange Kool Aid
Make you feel above them but it’s just nightmare
How many friendships and families broken
Because some worship the Orange king ...
From what I don’t know but he’ll tell you
Immigrants like our forefathers that made
The Great Green Lady hold a torch
Give me your poor your tired your hungry
That’s been our Brand way before trump
But Orange Jesus will save us from what I don’t know
Get to the punch bowl at the party
Buts it’s only Orange Kool Aid
Make you feel above them but it’s just nightmare
How many friendships and families broken
Because some worship the Orange king ...

Last meeting for Peace
Potatoes danced under silver umbrellas.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...
A political party is always pure clowning.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...

Guilty Of…
Lay down the sentence
Guilty of who I am
Why pry into my daily life
A little flower looked at like poison
So I’m not who you are
Who are you to judge me
Still living in this world
Im not going away better accept me or
Live your life who you are
Why can’t I be just like you
We want the same things
Being loved and greeted
Secure in who I am
Why does that trouble you
Im just a Indian among lost pilgrims
You say patriot I say you’re full of shit
Swim in the swamp...
Guilty of who I am

Executive Fever
Marked safe from tears when shitty bosses die
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...

~defenseless
in the heart of auburn equatorial sun
drumming wild with wet thunderbeats
of shrinking craniums & surfacing
uraniums- with winking tricky glints
of golden diamonds, busy feeding
the bloodied cartels
where also the social bonobos
still thrive in the feminine reigns
enriched by the gushing wide
riverine Congo & the falling high
Zongo in sand~ slurried screens
i stand (fading pale and blinded
as a frailly miniature grouped out ant ...

Insurrection Election
Insurrection to win an election
In times passed down a country tries for freedom
Give me tired and poor whatever the Green Lady says
Escaped from tyranny and monarchy
Spilled some tea into the Boston Harbor
Hopped on a horse said one if land two by sea
Crossed the Delaware in frigid conditions
Just to say we stand free among ourselves
Pen on parchment we declare we’re free men and women and we were born of immigrants
Civil wars and atomic bombs didn’t change us
We still breath to live free and...

Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

Business Models
Now it seems the law is just for suckers
thanks to the win at all cost white boy votes
who everyone else knows are the fuckers
snorting winner's dope on their motor boats
in their cultural affirmation vice
where they bitch about crime, but do the drugs,
snuck through that border to reduce the price
by some fossil fuel motorhead thugs
whose motivation is to be in charge,
so they can knock down those pesky rules
preventing illicit sales at large,
especially in the public schools...
because they love the Jeffrey Epstein plan...

We're all just a f**king number anyway
Right, Left, Black, White, He Or She
Rich, Poor, Young, Old, You Or Me
I Don't Care
Killer, Heathen, Dumb, Smart or Impaired
Brown, Yellow, Beggar, Gay, Whore, I'll never care
Difference In Look Or Opinion, Makes No Fucking Difference To Me
We're All Equals
The powers to be divide us up.
They create the boundaries, the wars, the prejudices we have for each other.
They want us to hate, to kill, to destroy, for their gain.
Rich, Poor, Young, Old, You Or Me

Your American Flag Was Made In China
The key to paradise was made in China.
30% of the worlds manufacturing is made in China as of 2023.
Second is the United States at only 15%.
Here are the reasons why:
Lower Wages
Chinese Labor
No Unions
A Massive Labor Pool
Horrible working conditions
Governmental Interest in Industrial Policy
Many industrial clusters
Currency Manipulation
Fewer workplace regulations
Less Oversight concerning pollution
Taxes
No workers comp insurance
Dumping
Neomercantilism
