Do
Drugs,
They fill me with the warmth of my mother,
They fill the void of my father,
And leave me wanting more like lovers,
Pick me up when I'm down like friends,
And like my mother, father, lovers, and friends it's only around while I have money,
This may be a series too. Not to serious though.

I know I'm one of those kids,
Never sick but always blows his nose kids,
Mad city never been good kids,

"All my gold is green kids,
Blue and red hues are all I've seen hold kids,
But not a Glock shot with 9 kids,

Always go to school kids,
Be good, don't ever play the fool kids,"
Old heads, never get through kids,

Huston has a problem kids,
But the man on the moon will be home soon kids,
Embrace the martian; Saint Pablo got to kids,
Every stanza is a reference to a poem or a song/ artist.

Scream, I want you to scream,
Rag doll-- tearing at the seams,

The thread that's threatening to unravel,
The baked bread that's burning the faithful,

I want to hear your lion roar,
You're so mundane always a bore,

Your mind is scarily sublime,
But Coraline, the time is mine,

This is the test, the pitfall of the faithless,
You may be a mess, but show them why you get no rest.
Motivational; there's a second part coming (eventually)

A penny for your thoughts,
A nickel if you're fickle,
A dime and you're mine,

A quarter for the century,
A dollar makes you holler,
Five to keep it alive,

Mr. Hamilton wants attention,
Mr. Jackson is very sore,
Mr. Benjamin will ease the tension,
... and maybe some more

A Mr. McKinley to keep it clean,
Grover Cleveland may make it messy,
But President Madison has arrived,

I don't mean to Chase you away,
but Woodrow Wilson will do just fine.
Negotiating skills on point

I need more eggs to feed the chickens, the big bad wolf to the little red hen,
The pigs are up in the family's den, and the shepherd can't herd them,

Well, I have two pieces of fence to hold the sheep in, find some mud to get the pigs sleeping,
Not a snowball's chance in hell we are leaving, now get back to your cage and start cleaning.

But the animals are asking for Napoleon ice cream, I'd scream but you know that doesn't make for nice dreams,
Well, feed the sheep a fresh hot plate of steam, make sure to gather the animals should all be as it seems.
Don't you know good Christians eat more chicken? I do a lot of food on my poems.

I eat, at the altar, with a hunger stronger than I remember,
I eat, from soup to nuts, pig bones and guts are grinded to dust,
I eat, a pound of flesh, char up my lungs to catch my breath,
I eat, lamb and wolf, sheer them up I'll wear them both,
I eat, golden eggs and apples, the first fool to fry the samples,
I eat, hot tomales like bread and butter, the spiciness should make me better,
I eat, the blacker berries, the blue berries and dark ripe wild cherries,
I eat, the crackers and wine, out of the palms of your hands,
I eat, with my family and friends, and I hope to eat with you again,
Way too many metaphors, feed me, I'm hungry

Gods and Kings share TV slots with Lord of rings,
My house of cards addiction is nothing compared to presidential affliction,
Sunday night service at the alert of the nearest screen, God hurry up the game is going to be on soon,
Talking selfies in the funeral home, it's okay I'm dead on the inside and the lighting is great in here,

Sometimes I wonder, did Jesus need Adidas to walk, or was that all just yeezus talk,
Sometimes I wonder, are the holy holidays still holy if you pray instead of pay, if your credit card is worth more soul, will you sell it,
I've never met a girl not try to be celibate, but we all know of the eighth wonder, and curiosity slays the *****,
Sometimes I wonder, is anything even sacred, if I can where Jesus like a piece, am I at peace,
If ***** is power, can I be God for a second, or is that just a feeling,
Sometimes I wonder, is anything even sacred anymore,
