Trend
Little lies
Can often hide
The beginning of the end.
I'm too tired,
Or too hard wired,
Do lunch real soon my friend.
But if you always,
Never sometimes,
Do what you promise to,
The world will bend
And stay on trend
Honesty will win the day.

Us
This is us.
In the stone age people would **** a bear and then rip open its stomach to eat what the bear had recently consumed.
Romans liked watching people **** each other. In one morning alone over 10,000 people were butchered just for fun.
Genghis Khan's armies slaughtered forty million people over twenty one years.
George Bush slaughtered a million innocent people. Two hundred thousand children.
Tell me.
About love.
About kindness
About giving a ****.
Please.
Tell me.

Friend
Who can you say is your friend?
Whose name can you shout out loud?
Would they run to you?
Would they die for you?
Would they kneel and cry for you?
Who?

Prepos
How can candy be a cane,
Why is crazy not insane,
Words are washcloths,
Verbs can scrub,
Adjectives will sometimes snub.
Prepos are so lost and found,
Adverbs increase sight and sound,
Interjections yay and yippee.
And or but my conjunctivity.
Exclamation, question mark, statement in a phrase.
Is grammar always complicated
Why is long life such a maze?

Bustamove
Maja wanted to party.
Pachanga and rage,
Yodel see oooma and tunnel sing.
No alcohol she said,
A stupid juice, no switchin' lanes.
We dance tonight, she said, macarena, gigging,
A grind fest, dry ******* on a stanky leg,
Be ****** and true.
The word spread.
By 11 p.m. a thousand isadoras from Devon,
Mud sharks and ****,
Everybody smigglin' and dimplin' out.
We only have this day, Maja said,
So we bustamove and shuffle.
Tonight. All night.
And we rallied.

Lizzing
I was a chain child, a pookie,
A hellion with a smile,
Tied tight to the backyard clothesline,
No doubt, no kapp.
I got loose. Vicked down highway 2.
Two years old.
Five miles between person a yo-yo
And drunk parents.
I was laughing, lizzing,
The highway clocked up, ripping and running.
The cops finally tagged me, brought me home.
Barely remember but I do.
I was running from them.
Still.
