I look upon a flag With stripes red and white The stars among the blue Midnight summer’s night High above our heads Flapping in the wind It reminds us of our freedom And also of our sins

Towering Patriotism
Spinning, Spinning, Spinning, Around the water goes Pinning, Pinning, Pinning, The Crap to the toilet bowl It may slip It may slide But it never lets go Oh, Crap of this world, Go down the toilet hole!

The Junkmail of Life
In the dark, alone With only night as a friend My face must have shown With tears finally shed But cried as I might The pain would not cease Held through the whole fight It had finally unleashed Clutching to my soul The hurt would not go As my tears kept to roll In this night of sorrow But as my depression Continued its recession Into the infinite hollow A beam did I spy And though run did I try The light, merely followed At last, tired of the chase I slowed my pace To see why the light pursued And to my surprise It was not my demise That sought my gloomy mood The light was a savior A liberator with the key To take some of my labor And pain away from me And who put up this fight? Why, my own caring friends Who bathed me in light- Now my darkness forever ends.

Lighting the Lonely
Insignificant flash Across the midnight sky Nobody sees you In the diverse sea of light Welcome to your life Live or die, nothing changes Ever Try to burn brightest And see how that works For only one can be the best And second gets nothing Try to change the sky The entire idea of a star But can that ever change Since it hasn’t been done? Millions of stars Thousands of lights Why should your flash Mean much at all?

Diversity is . . . Just a Part of the Sky
