I don't want your money,
I don't want you to open your wallet to buy me roses or to buy me dinner,
No,
I want the most expensive thing you have,
I want your time,
I want you to pick up the phone when I call you,
It was never money for me,
Remember when we were two broke 12 year olds with absolutely no money,
I wanna go back to that,
I wanna see that smile on your face,
That passion in your eyes,
I don't want you to slave your life away,
I want you to enjoy it with me,

I wanna dance with you,
I wanna sing with you,
I wanna be those two drunk 20 year olds dancing on the club floor,
Without a care in the world,

Remember our first fight,
We yelled at each other,
But then we were quiet,
One sentence that's all we could get out before we shunned ourselves,
Because that fight wasn't worth seeing the pain in the others eyes,

So when I say come home,
Don't tell me your earning money for us,
Come home means come home,
Sit down,
Watch a movie with me,
And between the two of us share a nice bottle of wine
Hey y'all. Hope you enjoyed this.

Can I offer you a drink
What'll it cost me
How bout a thought to think
What if it's lost on me

What do you want to do tonight?
I see myself in a bathrobe
With a tall glass of wine
And whiskey til the daylight

Give me honey, sugar.
Something sweet to taste and see

I’ll give you what you want.
Anything you need from me

Sugar
Baby
Sugar baby. Sweet

The pressure cracks my bones
like a lofty barrel
Weighing a top my tormented back.

My rib cage once housed a humming bird
That half dead, plague ridden thing
flew away long ago.

please adorn my grave
with wildflowers.

do not go to the florist
to purchase a bouquet.

do not open your wallet
on the day of my death.

I hope you realize that
I can't take my savings
with me when I'm gone.

I wasted my entire life
learning that lesson.
material objects never
brought me happiness.

you have tried,
but you cannot
buy my love.

I do not care
what my headstone
looks like,

or if I even have
a headstone.

what I want is for you
to pick me wildflowers.

your money
is meaningless.

your time
and your effort
is all I want
when I die.

maybe you didn't
realize this, but

that is all I wanted
while I was still alive.

I get paid by the hour.
Counting time by all the dollars.

Trading my life with every transaction.
Trying to catch my life before it loses traction.

All that my life is the seconds that descent.
How much money until my life is spent?

So Nowadays It Seems...
That WE Should All BELIEVE...

That ONLY Presidencies...
That Now Rule CURRENTLY...
Are Those FILLED With EXTREMES...... !?!

Just Like... CERTAIN Theories...
Now Spread On Internet Feeds...

That’s RIGHT Like Q'ANON...
That APPARENTLY Are ALL WRONG... !!!

According To News Teams...
In All Their Media Speak... !?!

So There Are NO Paedophiles...
Who've ABUSED Young Child...
Who DO FIT The Profile...
of Those Now Facing Trials... ?!?

And Those Who Are NOT...
Whose Behaviour Was WRONG... ?!?

UNLESS It Was... Mike Jack'... ?!?
They're QUICK To BELIEVE THAT... !!?!!

Well... ALLEGEDLY... ?!?
So Who Should We Believe... ?!?

The Type of News Teams...
Whose Rhetoric Seems...
To... NEVER Review...
How CERTAIN RICH Dudes...
Have INDULGED In ABUSE... !?!

Like Say... Jeffrey Epstein... !!!
Who CONVENIENTLY Died In Custody... ?!?

And What About SPACEY... ?
Is He Really... GUILT FREE... ?!?

Why Are They So SHOCKED...
By The Thought of PLOTS... ?!?
That Have SUDDENLY APPEARED...
About The Type of VENEERS...

That... ACTORS Use...
To Get Themselves Viewed...
And Seen As Being... " COOL "... !!!

While There Seem To Be...
...... EXTREMES......
That They HARDLY Cover... ?!?

That DO REACH Newsrooms...
But Are QUICKLY SMOTHERED... !?!

That Seem To Confuse...
These... Media Crews...
Who Keep On Saying...
That THEY DEAL In TRUTH... !!!

So Now SUDDENLY...
The Political Scene...
Is FILLED With EXTREMES... !!!

What About Past Presidents...
And Guys Like Mister BIDEN... ?!?

Have They ALWAYS Been...
... TRULY SQUEAKY CLEAN... ?!?

And NEVER Dealt In EXTREMES...
In The SAME OLD POLICIES... !!!
That Have Left People To BLEED...
Across The World GLOBALLY... !?!?!

What About THEIR HISTORY...
That Has Dealt In COLONIES...
That INDULGED In SLAVERY... !!!

For Them To BE...
Where It Is They NOW BE... ?

Weren't They ALL Somewhat EXTREME... !?!

... I Mean SERIOUSLY... ?!?

We’re Now Supposed To BELIEVE...
These News Personalities... ?!?

Who Are QUICK To Say...
That Their Countries Are GREAT... !?!
And Have Now PROGRESSED...
From EXTREMES Now Expressed...
By Their CURRENT President... ?!?

When News That They Represent...
Is So CLEARLY... BIASED... !!!

That Many Now REJECT...
The Views That They Present...
Through The Net And TV Sets... !!!

It’s A World of EXTREMES...
That’s Now Fed By News Teams... !!!

Who Seem HAPPY To FORGET...
ABUSES of... CHILDREN... !?!?!

But When It Comes To Women...
They’re Quick To Air Opinions...
That May Need INQUISITIONS...
Where... Evidence Is Given...

That DOESN'T Keep The Truth HIDDEN... !!!!!!

These Things Seem To Depend...
On Some BIASED Precedents...
And Who It Is They LIKE...
Instead of EXTREME Vibes...
That Invite These WEALTHY Tribes...

To... PAY For DIATRIBE...
That ISN’T Always Right... !!!

From REAGAN To The One...
Who Is Now Their President...

And ALL Those In Between...
Who’ve ALL Embraced EXTREMES...
Within THEIR POLICIES... !!!

Why HAVEN’T They Been STOPPED... ?!!!?

BEFORE Getting To Run...
Countries... AMERICAN...
And Those of YES Kingdoms...

UNITED By ACTIONS...
... EMBRACING RACISM...
As Well As CORRUPTION... ?!?

For Decade After DECADE... !!!
But NOW It's... " ALL OKAY "... !!!

Because... DIVERSITY...
Is Something That’s Now Seen...
Upon... People’s TV’s... ?!?

Now I Am NO Democrat...
Liberal Or REPUBLICAN...
Conservative Or Voter...
Who Believes In Governance...

Or... Media Teams...
Who Seem To Me...
To Deal In Cover Ups...

UNLESS Of Course What They REPORT...

AVOIDS Asking HARD Questions...
of Those Who... Get To RUN...
These Western Governments... !!!

Who've ALWAYS EMBRACED...
Some SHAMELESS Names... !!!

Who Yes Now Have COLOURS...
As Well As... Publications...
That Run Just Like Their Gums... !!!

There Are FAR TOO MANY FRONTS...
And Heads Getting PAYMENT...

To Run Speech That’s EXTREME... !!!

Who Are Those Who Seem To Me...
To Be Feeding... FALLACIES... !!!

And Running Talk That WREAKS...
of TRULY... RIDICULOUS Speech... !!!!!!

That They EXPECT People To BELIEVE.. ?!?

... DOESN’T Deal In Secrecy...
And Deals That PAY These Media Teams...

To Speak On... “ CONSPIRACIES “...
That They CLAIM To Be THEORIES...

That THEY SAY Are BEYOND CRAZY...
Because... THEY DON’T AGREE... !!!

Cos' They're APPARENTLY...

..... “ EXTREME “.....
Now i'm no conspiracy theorist, however, it's getting harder and harder to believe, that when certain power brokers are exposed for criminal activity, that they don't have the power to, exercise control over those, who feed us information, about said activities, via the media, for a certain price, or favour !

Just because there's a flash doesn't mean that I'm blinded,
I see through the cash and the cars, I'm almost excited to
learn about why you hide behind the fame.
When you could use what you know to illuminate the way
for change.

But it was never for them, for us, or even you.
Just fill the void with powder and a drink that'll do.
Because the awards stay shiny and praise keeps coming,
the only thing you lost was your sense of belonging.
John Tan Oct 2020
We squander our health in our pursuit of wealth,
We starve and overwork ourselves,
In hopes, it all leads to a better life,
Only for us to splurge our newfound wealth,
To seek the health we once had.
