She's beauty, too her core on surface, neath her skin it goes all the way too bone no hate or dark, gets in What she sees in me I can't fathom, understand after all, I'm imperfect yes, a simple man Another day goes bye she looks at me and smiles I'm deep in love, endlessly going on and on, for miles Never a doubt or question I'll be there till the end she's just a ghost, that whispered even if she's just pretend

Illusion, welcome..
Knocking you down Brother, please With a mallet and hammer I do it in despair, not freedom from greed There's a frown on your visage On your face of wrinkles and disease At ease, soldered soul With my years on the sides of rivers With handfuls of rice People came begging Let me tell you of a story Allow me a spare moment of your time With this rhyme "A nickel for food is a dollar for two." Came a beggar with a glistening smile And exasperated sigh Begging to help my family, he said Helping the poor and feeding the needy, I said I ignored his plea Little did I know I was a piece of another Person's puzzling responsibility I offered to help the person who came across my travels The poet who had pirated from nature Only then I realized kindness didn't exist And I had grown accustomed to stealing I took glances at people in need and realize One thing about poverty I couldn't be that if I ever reached the vicious The cycle of predators robbing people In a meaning of good grief

Guile
We’ll steal their pensions and their land Won’t that be amazing and grand? And there’s not a stinking thing they can do. We’ll blame it all on the opposition Then take an outraged position. They’ll elect our congress and governors too. USA, USA How many brown people Did you **** today? GOP, GOP Which of your promises Did you break today? We’ll concoct a bunch of lies And convince all the unwise That everything we say is the truth. We’ll fool the older Republicans And win some undecided fans Everything but the clever and the youth. In no time at all, we’ll succeed And underscored with greed We’ll take this gullible country back. The Democrats will help us to Do everything we plan to do Because the dummies chose to elect a black. USA, USA How many brown people Did you **** today? GOP, GOP Which of your promises Did you break today? Our war against intelligence Is really making a difference In getting voters to not smell a rat. The richest civilians are helping With the lobbyists they’re buying And we gratefully tip our MAGA hat. They are letting us make laws That defy any philanthropic cause Except when we get our hefty share. We deny them their health and aid And needn’t be the least bit afraid Republicans will ever become aware. USA, USA How many brown people Did you **** today? GOP, GOP Which of your promises Did you break today?

GOP BATTLE PLAN 2018
However am I expected, When a criminal is elected, Not to be depressed? I’m certainly not impressed. We began to make strides To set ignorance aside Then along came the jerks To destroy all our works, To protect the weak and sick, With lies and political tricks. By the time those fools awake The crooks will surely take Our country to the brink And watch it slowly sink Then they’ll blame it on us Who didn’t raise enough fuss To keep their twisted games And their feet to the flames. Instead we’ll watch defeat Throw us all into the street. Why can’t people understand That by not helping our land And the people that live here And giving into bogus fears We are putting big money in To the pockets of those who win. By denying any help and aid To those who actually paid Will make the rich much richer And then they’ll break the pitcher? The pitcher of milk and honey Has become nothing but money Because the poor suffering Makes them trust the muttering Of those who prefer to blame Than investigate the game That is played on us all And that causes the fall When wealth takes control And digs us further into a hole.

GOING DOWN
Jackals and ********* Clowns and criminals; Lies and libelous lambastes With integrity minimal. Grande Guignol politics From pusillanimous politicians Poisoning the populace With only selfish ambitions. Sleight of hand shysters And self-appointed diplomats Throw out all their morals And set out the welcome mat For those the most likely To pay the highest bribe And have no care if they sell The land from under the tribe. So what if water is poisoned? As long as they make money. After all, the rich aren’t harmed. Now isn’t that incredibly funny? Who cares about the future? What matters is right now And the profit they can make. It is what the law will allow. And those that wrote those laws So cleverly and quietly confused The very people stupid enough To so gullibly to be thus used. But jackals and ********* Really aren’t animals at all. Nor are they household pets Who come when they are called.

JACKALS AND *********
The Dummocraps and RepubLIE-CONs Are engaged in a devastating war. The RepubLIE-CONs hate everyone The Dummocraps hate decisions more. While the RepubLIE-CONs are engaged In selling away the public’s rights, The Dummocraps fight among themselves And bring confusion to the fight. So, the RepubLIE-CONs don’t need To bother tearing Dummocraps down, They just stand back and watch while Dummocraps knock each other around. Any effort the Dummocraps try to make Ends on a pathetically useless note Because over half the Dummocraps Don’t even bother to go and vote. The RepubLIE-CONs, on the other hand Have an insane, but vocal minority That are paid very well to do as told By an even smaller, rich minority. So, a country that is mentally lazy And generally stupid in the bargain, Lets itself get tangled up in lies Propaganda and obfuscating jargon. It’s all really that easy, it seems When you look at what is true. The voters in this country feel That voting is too hard a thing to do. So, they sit on their ***** and then Complain at every law they pass That robs them of their place in life And destroys all but the upper class.

DUMMOCRAPS AND REPUB-LIE-CONS
He, the rumpled bumbler, Stumbled, mumbling, bungling Through his self-made jungle No mote of humility, his abilities Were not inclusive of subtlety. He settled for a public identity Of propriety and normality, Obvious hospitality but falsity Like the nose on his face, exposed. What a verbose, but artificial Government official he was. His cause was never for us It was for that he was notorious; How laboriously he dissembled. But he resembled his opposition Then took a position of submission Until his mission was complete Then he beat his feet in retreat To those he knew could beat The highest price and that was nice. Twice as nice for rental cars And pretty movie stars Who weren’t too humble To stumble the red carpet With the rumpled bumbler, Mumbling, no longer bungling Through his self-made jungle. Still no humility, a perfect facility To take from the poor, give to the rich And not care who calls him sonofabitch.

CANDIDATE
Some people see personality I just see criminality What some call statesmanship To me is not so hip. There must be a different definition In your version of the Constitution But mine says we all are free And not just those D.C. And not just those Caucasians Should be entitled to rations Of respect and equality. But we’re victims of duality Without causality Because our voice is nixed Nothing gets fixed. Nobody cares about the crooks Until something of theirs gets took Then they want to throw the book Without a second look At who it hits. It’s totally tragic That so many believe in magic Like somebody waves a wand And all the thugs will be gone From our leadership. It’s a ****** trip And a total rip That they think someone cares. But, nothing makes rich people scared Unless someone else takes One third of everything they make Then they scream like banshees. Meanwhile, down on our knees We cry right across the board But we are the blighted horde; We never really scored. We were just here to buy junk And not listen to the bunk The one-percent hurls our faces; We live with the disgraces And wish we could do something. Wish we could do anything To break this eternal ring Of money meaning purity. Yes, it is a homily But it is practically All there is. Talk to the Wiz. He’ll tell you it is crap. It’s just a trap.

RAPPING ABOUT THE TRAP
The rich get richer And the poor get ******* That’s my definition Of the common word: ‘lewd’. The richest country In the whole world today And we can’t make crooks In politics go away. We could feed everyone And give them a home free With what the military Pays in armorer’s fees. We could use the cash We waste to wage the wars To rebuild our highways And our bridges once more. We could fix the laws So politicians don’t get rich And make it legal To fire a crooked sunsabitch. We change thing easily So one issue got one bill And declare this horse trading As antique and over the hill. Then make sure everyone Was covered for insurance And give our veterans Comfortable benefit assurance. We’d have enough money To do some helpful research To knock crooked companies Off their comfortable evil perch. We could stop sending cash To countries that are bad guys Then stop using rhetoric That is a xenophobic disguise. We could do all this stuff In a matter of a few short years And make sure our children No longer have to live in fear.

PLAN B
So far you are good at pollution And other pocket lining resolutions. You look at graft as a noble institution While you work to undo the constitution. No matter, it is our geese that are cooked As long as you have pricey vacations booked Don’t miss any vote-buyer’s finger crooked As long as the very richest fish are hooked You quickly learn to so slickly lie While looking people in the eye We’d be better if you said goodbye But you don’t so we just sit and cry. And as you ruin all of our credit You take our Social Security and bet it And it’s our fault because we let it And then when you steal it, we forget it But your fingerprints on the knife in the back Proves to everyone you are all off of the track Everybody is busy giving you nothing but slack Like all of us are some kind of lobbyist hack It is we who have to watchdog your legislation We have to stop this lethal voter hesitation The moment the crooks come up for elimination We must vote them out or there is no restoration This free ticket to rob us can’t last forever. Someday the people will all band together And you will find out quickly whether America is wise enough to pull that lever.
