Donny Boy
Oh, Donny boy the polls the polls are falling
From Red State to Blue they continue to slide
For you to drop out of the race people were calling
before your runaway train of lies goes off a mountain side
At one time in the Presidential race you were ahead
But, now your campaign is on it's death bed
At the debate you doubled down on your bets
and Yelled "They're eating your pets"
The Moderators did a real time fact check
So, your next job will be to rearrange chairs of the Titanic's main deck ...
From Red State to Blue they continue to slide
For you to drop out of the race people were calling
before your runaway train of lies goes off a mountain side
At one time in the Presidential race you were ahead
But, now your campaign is on it's death bed
At the debate you doubled down on your bets
and Yelled "They're eating your pets"
The Moderators did a real time fact check
So, your next job will be to rearrange chairs of the Titanic's main deck ...

Rat poison
Learn what makes me look down
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth

It's All Because Of You!
If what I say alienates you
That only means you're alien to me
You & your fragile reality
Your mild dissatisfaction
Your artificial subtlety
I love the way you look at me
Your well rehearsed disbelief
You think I made all this up?
You must be out of your mind
I never had an original thought in my life
I got it all from you
I owe it all to you
You walk outside & close your eyes
The truth hurts when it catches up and bites you on the throat
Nothing will incinerate this vision
Nothing will stop this train
That only means you're alien to me
You & your fragile reality
Your mild dissatisfaction
Your artificial subtlety
I love the way you look at me
Your well rehearsed disbelief
You think I made all this up?
You must be out of your mind
I never had an original thought in my life
I got it all from you
I owe it all to you
You walk outside & close your eyes
The truth hurts when it catches up and bites you on the throat
Nothing will incinerate this vision
Nothing will stop this train

Kamala
Her name is not Pamela or Cam-a-la
it is pronounced Comma-la
She is the blooming Lotus flower of our fair state
and for me that fact is not up for debate
A woman with a winning million-dollar smile
who wears pearls as an homage to classic female style
As fierce as any Lioness at defending her Pride
and the reason why Kavanaugh cried
Her grilling of Barr proved he is unfit
and he was forced to quit
The first woman, Black and South Asian, to be a President
and I can’t wait for her victory in the main event
it is pronounced Comma-la
She is the blooming Lotus flower of our fair state
and for me that fact is not up for debate
A woman with a winning million-dollar smile
who wears pearls as an homage to classic female style
As fierce as any Lioness at defending her Pride
and the reason why Kavanaugh cried
Her grilling of Barr proved he is unfit
and he was forced to quit
The first woman, Black and South Asian, to be a President
and I can’t wait for her victory in the main event

Profits of Pain and War
I will tell you that their wise,
and the facts that they analyze
They know...your situation
Their gonna tell you on what's gonna come,
and how certain things will be done
There your.... salvation
I'll tell you when that day comes,
you will learn how to load a gun
And they say... you got to be a man
You may not like it when they hand you a gun,
before you turn 21
Your just a number...with sorrow
These boys don't know what's in store,
these are the prophets of pain and war
...

Powerflux
Miles and miles of road just to get home.
I can't justify it, it would be wrong.
But there is a place so far away where my heart belongs.
Walk through the trees.
Look to the sky.
I feel the breeze.
I feel my life.
Oh, well, silence overtook me.
I have freedom to be free.
This is the only life I live for.
The only God I believe.
Bring hope back to me.
There's a place so far away.
Bring hope back to me.
Give me what I seek.
Kiss me on the cheek.
Live me, live a freak. ...

Useless
Corporate Executives in diapers
Useless as they are
Having their entourage with them
Maids, butler's, secretaries, advisor's etc...
Always there to look out for their best interests
Men & Woman in business attire crying in restaurants when their help is nowhere to be found
One quick phone call and someone is on their way
She arrived
Just in time before that meeting at 9 am!
The maid took the babbling exec to the restroom to change his diaper
She held his hand
The patrons there looked in disgust and continued eating
This shit...

Being in charge
He avoids big women- tall women
They scare the shit out of him
They make him feel like he has a small dick
He imagines fucking one and being able to hear his dick rattle around in there
The sound of something disappearing
Like a rock being thrown down a very deep well
This deep abyss, all consuming
He avoids them like the plague
Mostly they make him feel like a small man
He likes little women
Because, they can't wrap their hand around his arm, then he knows that he's in charge
He feels good when he's in charge
That's all that matters...
They scare the shit out of him
They make him feel like he has a small dick
He imagines fucking one and being able to hear his dick rattle around in there
The sound of something disappearing
Like a rock being thrown down a very deep well
This deep abyss, all consuming
He avoids them like the plague
Mostly they make him feel like a small man
He likes little women
Because, they can't wrap their hand around his arm, then he knows that he's in charge
He feels good when he's in charge
That's all that matters...

Believer
Let me say all that's in my head.
The way I've been treated,with pain fed.
As rain took over.
But I must no longer run.
I'll run twice as fast.
I'll let the fire burn.
The pain built me up,and my entire past.
Call me a believer,because pain built me the way I am.
Call me a deceiver,because I am not sinking in vain.
Pain,you devil.
You made me a believer.
A feeling of strength linger.
I know that strength,it did not come with strategy.
i was built by the pain.
By the shadows,voices.
Soaking...

Hidden Agenda
The MSM is owned by Wealth White Men
and many of their stories belong in a trash bin
On a real topic
they are often Myopic
And on the wrong ones too grandiose
and way too verbose
They cover Presidential elections like a horse race
but, many times get wrong who's in first place
Because they need controversy
and are afraid of Trump bc he will show them no mercy
They will have you believe that Sugar is Splenda
don't get fooled by the MSM's-Hidden Agenda
and many of their stories belong in a trash bin
On a real topic
they are often Myopic
And on the wrong ones too grandiose
and way too verbose
They cover Presidential elections like a horse race
but, many times get wrong who's in first place
Because they need controversy
and are afraid of Trump bc he will show them no mercy
They will have you believe that Sugar is Splenda
don't get fooled by the MSM's-Hidden Agenda

Rigmaroles
he's the example
of whatsit to me
shitty solipsist
cocky pismire
a skullduggery
asshat with his
gelastic jalopy
quite bourgois
don't you think
flaccid britches
always down for
a lousy attempt
at shenanigans
-accismus style-
so gallivant chick
parades with your
hood wink dick &
egregious ways
as you fake your
brouhaha smiles
& flummoxed flare
your silly rigmaroles
won't get you anywhere
of whatsit to me
shitty solipsist
cocky pismire
a skullduggery
