Cash Rules Everything Around Me. Ayyyyeee I HATE that s*** It can't buy me love It can't buy me happiness Can it buy back the lives Of those have finally went Home to the other side? It doesn't grow on trees. I believe that's a **** lie! Never even question why the sadness comes Sometimes, I don't even know it's happening! There's many ways to skin a potato. But ya know, I am old fashioned. Tomatoe. Tomato. Another bottle. You can't drink away the trouble and sorrow. As if there's no tomorrow! The sins of our nature Is our biggest threat to our nation Along with this ******* Having issues with immigration! Pfff. Land of the free... But most of us can't afford patience! That's nothing compared to The net worth of YOUR life is only a small loan of a few bucks. I trust a lot, things but **** a stimulus!!! .

When I look at her face, a small child who is "she"   and it's clear she has no idea of stale ideals that block her path You are a small angel, and you're unaware of trails that look like gold There is truth: they are just gift-wrapped. hiding "be polite. "don't sit like that. "cross your legs. Here is your truth: You are not small. You are full of magic and there is no path that you don't own.

Gift-Wrapped.
My wall was not always stained red; the map that hangs upon it has bled from state and country and continent, the scarlet of a million lives seeped through porous paper skin, akin to the breached security of violated hearts, severed arteries never to be rejuvenated with the livelihood of broken nations - left to weep, wounds unhealable in the pained whirlpool of terror and tragedy.

When the Map Cried
America, rollin’ its dice, hurlin’ ‘nades on the ice. what're we lookin’ for? ***** we huntin’ for? whether it’s a score to settle or another lie to peddle where do we go from here? how ‘bout that future we held dear? gone, done, buried, shunned. eat crow, ***** retch, and— run? don’t run. can’t run. these colors don’t run, I’ve heard. though maybe they flow against each other like water and oil in a grating chemical fash- ion that can’t be calculated or be sufficiently integrated like we dreamed they would. and dream we do, for America and her future, or so I hope, given that each year that passes leaves bruises and gashes in that fabric, so fragile, I hear. sad, wrong, and crooked; Trump’s America.
