Valentine’s Day has it’s roots
in an ancient pagan festival

The Lupercalia Festival
Ancient Romans celebrated Lupercalia Day  
A fertility festival on February 15

St. Valentine, the Catholic Church established
February 14 asValentine’s Day

To separate the church from pagan rituals
Dedicated to the Roman, god of agriculture  
For The founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus,
it was celebrated with animal sacrifices,

The ritual; Men gently slapping women
With crop fields and raw dead goat, hide strips
dipped in blood, which is thought to help fertility

(Hence the Blood Red color was a major contributing factor to the ritual)

Medieval beliefs
lovers recited verse of prose to each other
on Valentine’s Day,  

some believed birds chose their mate on that day

  The poet Geoffrey Chaucer linked Saint Valentine with romantic love in the Middle Ages
with his poem The parliament of the fouls


Saint Valentine was a Catholic priest
in Rome in the third century.

He was known for performing secret marriages
for young couples, which was against
the emperor’s orders.

He was executed for defying the emperor’s
band on marriage and for trying to convince
the emperor to accept Christianity

Medieval celebrations
Valentine’s Day is celebrated by
exchanging cards, flowers, and gifts.
It’s a day to recognize the ties
that link people whether couples
friends or family member.

according to the ubiquitous cherub.
Origins can be traced back to 700 B.C.
An ancient Greek hero.

The Greek god of love was depleted as a handsome young man and had power
to make people fall in love overtime.

He was adopted by the Roman’s
and became known as a cherub, his image changing to the little boy with the bow and arrow because of his love inspired powers

He became linked to Valentine’s Day
by the turn of the century.

Inspired songs
1)Were have all the flowers gone
By Johnny Rivers
2) Valentine written by Jim Brickman
Song by Martina McBride

(I had never taught before )
I admit I was excited and nervous

My first night teaching
Was basically housekeeping
Passing out packets explaining
The rules, I was basically preaching

I looked at the sea of eager faces and said “I’m going to give you all an “A”
right now. Everybody in this classroom has an “A”in the class.!”
All the students cheered loudly
A Student asked “ what’s the catch?
I smiled and said
“It’s up to you to keep it”
The class exploded with nervous laughter

The same Student raised her hand
(an eager ******, I thought Good)
Great, my first real question
“ isn’t it time for our break?”
I was not told anything about a break
I didn’t wanna make a mistake

So I began to ad lib. the conversation
Does everybody believe
we should take a break?
Every hand went up
Yes, said a student. All the other students nodded their head in agreement.

And when are we
supposed to have our break?
Again, all the hands went up
Student said
“ about now for 15 minutes”

OK we’re all on the same page
so nobody should be late returning
Let’s take our break now.

As an adult instructor
One must exude confidence
Be Sure of all explanations and answers
And At times to finesse
The situation from escalating

While working on an
Emergency medical hotline,
If we didn’t know the answers

we had a pack phrase “
“I’m going to do a little research to make sure  I’m giving you the most up to date accurate information”.
OR
Let me check into that and I’ll get back to you.(give a call back time)
Make sure you call back
You’re only as good as your word.

To reiterate
It’s OK to not know the answer,
Never say “I don’t know the answer”
Never let them see you sweat
Fake it, until you make it
If at all plausible ad lib.

You reap what you sow
It’s all about what you know
Hassles help you grow

1)  America ( My Country ‘tis of thee)1831
By Anthem Lights Cover YouTube

2) America the Beautiful
By Whitney Houston 1991

If you choose to live in the world
Letting your freak flag fly unfurled
Beware care to know what is in store
The devil is close by keeping score

There is a choice to make
For a soul without salvation
Satan will steal, take propagate

Look at popular music and pop stars today
What Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Beyoncé
A myriad of others have to say

Their humble beginnings innocence lost
To the evil side, they eventually reside at all cost
Their parents only saw Stardom Money Fame
They didn’t see predators playing a devious game

Look at what happened to a young Justin Bieber
He didn’t realize the price of famous fever

14 still a child wild with stars in his eyes
Bound zip tied No one spoke as he cried
Bystanders Voyeurism watched yet later denied

Drugged willing at first soon it became dark worse
Violated, broken, tattooed body to hide his shame,
Silent victim petrified, feared who was to blame

Then Jesus came into his heart saved every part
A cautionary tale of what could go wrong
To be famous for love of music a perfect song

Yes they appear to have riches a great name
But to Satan their soul is the game to claim

Selling their souls is not something a star can do
Jesus paid their  price of sin Satan can’t win
Humans deceived, IF they only knew

Devil worshipped
Witches believe demons whispers a convincing lie
Loyal to Lucifer while Jesus, they denounced deny

A stone cold sarcophagus a corpse’ byproduct
of those fated concerts, a cautionary tale
in public view, concert guests don’t die well

The war between good and evil is all around us
Most people don’t realize or care to put up a fuss

Society has become conditioned to stay home
Sedentary No longer we freely roam
Perceived safe was in our proverbial bubble
We don’t won’t can’t perceive the pending trouble




Inspired song,
Thriller

I normally do not write poems like this; corpses, but the Webster's word of the day

Footnote
Looking back in music history, you can see interviews where stars who sold their soul to Satan To become; famous rock gods, praising Satan Lucifer when they win a prize award
while people in the audience sit there and clap.
Lately presentations have turned to séances,

Travis concert crushed  by the crowd
and travis continued sinning For 45 minutes ambulance in the audience. Travis sang

Taylor Swift fans have gone to concerts and don’t remember a thing.They claim
they were in some kind of a trance.
Something wicked this way comes
pay special attention to the words in their songs it’ll blow your mind.

This first song is fantastic. I’d actually never heard it before I encourage you all to at least listen to the first Song 😎

1)Freedom ring
by Gaither Vocal Band 2012

2) Star-Spangled Banner 1814
By Francis Scott Key
Adopted by government 1931

I always wanted to be in a play
The idea to being a different person
Peaked my curiosity

I took a costume class while at University
I found a new proclivity
The costume teacher offer 100 points
To those who tried out for a play
An easy “A” hooray!

At audition I was asked to do a monologue
I didn’t even know what that was
The spot light shining intensely
Blinded any view of the directors
A Student, could audition for;
One or more of 3 Different Plays

I only was interested in one.
I heard my teacher’s voice
Do you know a nursery rhyme?
For a Grandma that was an easy question.
I recited Mary had a Little Lamb
with attitudes
Unbeknownst to me
The play I was trying out for
  Evolved into a musical

Called back for a second audition to sing
They asked who wanted to go first?
my hand shot up get it over with I thought
I saying Hello Dolly A cappella,
perfect song for the part

What a wonderful experience to audition,
I thought I was done. but I just begun

I was cast in one of the three lead roles
The play based on history
Tiburcio Vasquez, the last California bandit
Robbed from the rich and kept it!

I was Californa-Kate
The head, Madame of the *******
I was to sing two solos
I was in 12 out of 13 scenes of the play

They told me it was death by fire.
For a first time actress
I was scared straight

They open auditions to the public,
so professional actors could apply.

The other two lead roles
were professional actors.

How wonderful to learn sewing Techniques
I got to make all my costumes
Authentic Period Costumes
from 1835–18 75.

Singing a solo on stage what a rush
There was no greater experience
Then a standing ovation
From a packed auditorium

Tom Hanks started his acting career
on that same stage.

Strangely, after every performance,
I was always the first one to run off stage

The costume was extremely heavy
I have a special wooden stool to sit on
So do didn’t wrinkle the crinoline dress
So many layers , petticoats and plates
By the end of the play, I just wanted
Out of the costumes

It was stressful. I didn’t enjoy
the moment
as much as I thought I would.

Afterwards students had to pick a person
From one of the 3 plays to identify with, and write an essay 70% of them
chose my character

I was 30 in a school of young adults
I presented a different flavor perhaps



Inspired song;
Hello Dolly,
By Louis Armstrong 1964

Yesterday The Republic died
People cheered I cried
People will learn the meaning of fear

The Constitution is shredding
Placing corrupt judges without vetting
The judges breaking the law

We are court witnesses of what we saw
Emotions both sides, raw
The outcome sticks in my craw

This is not hyperbole
Ruffle feathers and see
It’s a statement of fact
Society will turn their back

To hate, or hate sake
Is to create a world you want to make
Is to cut off your nose to spite your face
unable to see the truth,
if it bit you in the backside place

I’m not getting any younger
Yet still filled with this hunger

Building apprehension
Ignoring the weighted of contention

I would never fully rise to be celebrated
There is a better chance I would be humiliated.

Hesitation left an uneasy feeling ,
So many emotions, my heart wheeling

Excuses filled my mind
Any reason not to try, I could find

Throwing caution to the wind
Head first, Jump in , I will begin

My fingers, will hurt, bleed I might cry
Do or die I have to try

I will never be a virtuoso
What does it matter? What do I know?

In comparison My talent minuscule
Is this an exercise in being cruel?

The passion, I see in musician’s eyes
If I possess any at all its lies

it’s delusions of-grandeur
Time will tell this exercise is hell

Defeated before I’ve begun.
So many songs unsung

It’s near the top of my bucket list.
All my life I wished
Something I always wanted to learn
I need to have my turn

Armed with desire
My excitement could get much higher

Pushing all the negativity aside
I am ready for the wild ride

I took time researching;
Brand, quality ease of use
My plan seemed full proof

What instrument do I want to play?
I don’t know what to ask for what to say

Picking perfection with a novice brain
Price point these questions can drive me insane

Stay focused dedication, perseverance
A tutor, mentor, much needed guidance

It’s never too late to try something new
I purchased a new instrument

It sits in the corner,
In a pristine new case
What a waste
Now what

Song inspired;

1) This old guitar
By John Denver

2) Sing a song
By Karen Carpenter

FYI
Every time I get a new instrument a family member wants it So , I give it away.
Then I start this madness again.
Procrastination strikes again

Pro found
           Saying the
                        quiet part
                                           out loud
                              Living in
            this world
proud

Once a good opinion is lost
You never get it back
My husband and I met
A Lady with two dogs
while walking our dog

A new found friendship
Our friendship was inchoate
Vague still developing,
Not precisely clear
Enigmatic equivocal

Yes, I really enjoyed having a new friend
There were little warning signs
Little bark a little bite I paid no mind
She Lived alone, very lonely.
She asked for my number right away

A couple weeks past without incident
One day out of the blue, A text message
Saying mean angry things hard to hear
Some truth ,I immediately Apologized
I am sorry for having offended you.
That was not my intent.
I’m quick to call for a truce
an inferred armistice

She persisted, bullying controlling
in such a way Admonishing My behavior
Per decorum my way is to stay quiet
Mole over Contemplate Simmer
Let the immediate Intensity, die down
Hold my tongue don’t trade insult to injury
What did I do wrong? I was confused, hurt

She interpreted my silence
as me ignoring her feelings
demanded confrontation text ranting
Grew, Bolder The intensity increased
Do you realize your behavior?
It’s really rude, you need to modify your behavior, extremely disrespectful maybe your husband doesn’t care you treat him that way, but it bothers me that you do
Your husband hardly speaks.
(Well, that’s his way he listens).

Incessantly repeating
You need to modify your behavior.
You need a course correction
You’re rude controlling
Do you realize what you were doing?
I forgive you, BUT, IF
I decide to still walk with you

I you NEED you to Acknowledge your faults modify your behavior. She continued
You need a course correction
I tried to tell you what I’m going through but you didn’t hear me so I stopped trying.

Both my husband and I knew nothing of
what she claimed not an inkling
Thanking time apart, to cool the feelings
I countered with
well we’ll see you when we see you.
That was met with
Now you’re controlling
making your own plans
You need a course correction

I felt Backed in a corner to continue
a friendship with land mines IF I don’t talk then I’m brooding, sulking acting wounded IF
I talk unknown pitfalls land mines. It will
Happen again she’ll Explode blows up.

My only recourse end this tumultuous situation. My husbands thinks perhaps
 she might be bipolar or worse
He had dealt an unstable ex girlfriend

I am extremely unsettled by this situation
I pressed to find out what I did stupidly
Thinking, rational conversation could fix it

The main offense  was speaking when she was talking, I think at times we all do that
But I generally liked her and listen to everything she said. I gave her things
A coat for her dog it didn’t fit my dog

She has an ex-husband, their seven-year battle in court the adult children, all sided with the father. I did not want to know more. in retrospect perhaps she wanted to tell me The sorted details. I’m not a gossipy person, and I don’t dwell in the past. My husband and I were content with the hi, by light hearted friendship we have developed

when she tried to pit my husband and I against each other that was the dealbreaker
I hope she’s OK. I generally care for her well-being, but there are limits. I don’t wish Ill-will I will be courteous, passing her in public, but we made The right call
I’m hard-pressed to know if I’m trying to convinced you or myself I am unsettled why

Walking in the park is my time with God
I just want to walk my dog in prayer.
Smiling at friendly faces everywhere
I’m hard-pressed to know if I’m trying to convince you or me I am unsettled why!

Inspired song
Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen 1984

In college, I  started golfing
I thought it would help my swing
Course correction I didn’t learn a thing
I gained more bad habits in between

Golf was created within Love, and hate
Many emotions to communicate investigate
Poetic words flow, negate the verse
Continually modifying and rehearse

The most elusive game you’ll ever play
Golf can make or break your day
Transfixed Frustrating, irritating time
Completing a great game is sublime

Learn and grow as you go
You’ll never learn everything to know
My dismay recalling a friend’s worst day
Disaster hit at the first hole sandpit the grid

By hole 5 his game sunk skunk pound sand
On the Golf cart a hotdog in his hand
An Eagle swooped down, taking
The Hotdog and bun from his mouth
The Eagle flew Heading Due south.

Yelling and screaming as if that
Would make the bird give his hotdog back
Lunacy, frustration, humiliation on track
He threw his lunch sack at the Bird
You had to be there The picture was absurd

Washing down a beer tremble in fear
He’d never experienced a big bird so near
The back nine would be better get in gear
Both ***** hit the water in the drink
This is when he should’ve stopped to think

One could see the blood boil in his eyes
What came next was no big surprise
Third ball hit the water in the drink
Throwing his monogram bag,&clubs in a
Blink watched them slowly sink sink sink

That was it. His day was done
Under the Beauty of the setting sun
The golf course Won, took its toll
That Fateful day He lost a bit of his soul

The profanity filled the air
Decorum lost he didn’t care
Golf and stuff Fished out the clubs and bag
Shining with mud The Gold monogram tag
Other golfers ***** filled the leather bag sag

He cut off his nose to spite his face
He never went back there saving grace
Never retrieved his bag it was tainted
The leather colors ran together painted

As to his set up a second gift from Daddy
Son “Next time use a Caddy!”

Bohemian Rhapsody – a golf parity tribute

What’s the purpose of Halloween
Trick-or-treat costume parties make a scene
Scary Jack-o’-lanterns carved faces
Placing them in their houses open spaces
Something wicked, this Way COMES

The original traditions were generated in Ireland and Scotland they carved grins
Scary faces in turnips and potatoes,
Then put them in the windows
To ward off evil spirits and stringy jack.
Something wicked, this Way COMES

Why is Halloween an evil night
The dead rises from there, tombs
What is the purpose of the costumes?
Getting dressed up to  
Symbolically disguise oneself
As a way to ward off evil spirits
Something wicked, this Way COMES

An ancient tradition, Celtic people
believed there is a thin vail between
The living, and the dead Halloween night
The veil is at its thinnest sight
Something wicked, this Way COMES

Spirits pass-through roaming the world
Wearing costumes was a way to avoid
Being recognized by the spirits
Something wicked, this Way COMES

Today the true meaning is mostly seen as a fun way to express oneself act out, fantasies
Dressing as a favorite character or creature
Satan successfully lulled the sheep to sleep
His greatest sick trick  He doesn’t exist
Something wicked, this Way COMES

While people argue, it doesn’t say anything In the Bible about Halloween, it does say Christians are carefully instructed to
NOT participate in any pagan way
When somebody tells a lie enough
It’s marginalized becoming the truth
Something wicked, this Way COMES

Blinded by an Illusion of Halloween fun
These traditions prove people in the world
Know evil exist. They celebrate the dead
It’s all around us, in the movies we watch
When wrong is right and right is wrong.
It’s in our music it’s in our songs
Something wicked, this Way COMES

And the Satanic natures on TV we are
Mesmerized by death destruction, **** ***
We feed on Fear, hatred for entertainment.
We feel it in the air. We feel it everywhere.
Something wicked, this Way COMES

Hallowed ground is no longer sacred
People don’t believe anything anymore
Satan, is living laughing in delight
On this wicked Halloween night
Trick or treat when all practice to deceive
Is your candy safe to eat do you believe?
Something wicked this Way is Here FEAR

Was it the 60s maybe not, hard to find
Every decade marked with decline.,
Further still. I recollect, through crime
The ever changing new, tragedies of time
I begin to realize societies realign
 
Dates back to Genesis, Adam, and Eve, when men first practice to deceive.
Humanity lived in a bubble,
seemingly without much trouble

Slowly society grew steadily worse.   
No moral values, paychecks in the purse.
Society drove God from government,
From schools paradigm shift permanent

Society took away all of God‘s rules.
Government marketplace the schools
God doesn’t stay where he is not wanted
God allowed Satan to begin the haunted

The hedge of protection, God pulled away. Man no longer heard what God had to say
***** and Gomorrah deception grew
  ****** Deviance all day, they knew

2023 marked a year of unveiling.
Starving people depravity wailing
Pulling back the curtain of government lies
God No longer hears the people’s cries

Plan death destruction One World Order
People who own property called hoarders
Elderly disabled are called useless eaters
Deadweight wife beaters ignorant cheaters

They no longer contribute to society
They should consider Dr. Kevorkian suicide
Two million people have to go, **** die
They drain society a sacrifice is necessary
The final count is arbitrary

No longer a contributor worker secondary
Disabled children, and mentally unsound
next on the list. Life support Shut down. Mental hospitals, out of business close
patients tossed on the ground in town

Our cities are turning into one large psychiatric crockpot. Church must go gone
80% of the churches today get it wrong

we will know the season. By what happened before, so shall it happen again yet worse. We know what plagues will come. Revelation, chapter 8 through 13

True Christians have a place through all of this we should not be afraid, spiritual bliss. So remember this if you are a Christian or Jew Who’ll be martyred murdered, one day,

Most Colleges Lack of truth and knowledge
Have developed an ambivalent ethos why
Bull horns, disruption chants, battle cry
Burning our flag Americans must die

A breeding ground for distention
Studies lack focus On subject retention
College has become a platform
For protests by illegals to transform

America ‘s cold civil war from within
We’re on the brink, of fighting to begin
Most Americans live in a bubble
They sense it, but don’t realize the trouble

Will America be taken to her knees
Capitulate what extremist believes
We fight for the freedom as before
Standing at a precipice watchers once more

Not my WILL but God’s will
Prophecies will fulfill
Our destiny and plan
What God has in store for His land

Most will not be ready
Disillusion, thirsty, starvation ,not steady
Trouble is on the Horizon heed the call
Judgments will affect One at all

20 miles north  October surprise
A much wider hurricane appeared
Relief for some Florida’s shift of fears

That’s not to say some were worse for wear
Most Lost power, High winds House, tares
My grandson felt underwhelmed
No Gas he had to stay prayed at the helm

Extreme Wind and Rain Power out
Craziest worry turned to relief doubt
Was this as bad as it will get
Guesstimates It all fell short

All the media hype predictions fizzled
The hurricane rain turned to drizzle
The aftermath clean up will take awhile
People emerged tears grateful smile

Inspired song
Dust in the wind
by Kansas

We stand at the edge of time A precipice
We are the only generation
That is completely different than
Any previous generations

Our expansion of knowledge
In this generation and the things
That knowledge has made possible
Has literally put history on the fast track
Propelling us into the future

The Bible tells us the last generation
We’ll see a great increase of knowledge
Look at every previous generation
This generation has seen an exponential
Increase in knowledge that is unique

Daniel 12:4 oh, Daniel shut up the words,
And steal the book even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro and
Knowledge shall increase KJV

From the time of Christ, until, 1750
Knowledge increased increased slowly
From 1750 to 1908 knowledge doubled
From 1900 to 1950 knowledge doubled

Now the expansion of knowledge,
The Things we know are accelerating at
A Faster rate, Buy an iPhone, it’s already obsolete they build a newer model

The same is true with the computer
The Internet, all new inventions
AI is a perfect example as AI rises
Man, obsolete idle without a purpose

A self learning computer will completely
double its knowledge every 18 months
Very soon it will be smarter than man
Will the computer see man as the threat?

What are we Transitioning evolving into?
Will we still be human or cyborg hybrid?
Just because we can create something
Ethically morally, responsibly should we?

Prosthetics implants new heart, Hips knees
Regenerating skin tissue, IVF, embryo
Computer chip to enhance the brain
At what point did we cross that line?

All in the name of New Improved Better
We have the capacity to make children, outside of the womb. A perfect child.
Who decides, rights to our body humanity

Oblivious people, If we take a stand
We’re scapegoats, toes over the ledge
speak out, they’ll push us off. scary times
Eugenics, downsize eliminate people



Inspired song
Star track (The original series, 1966–1969)
Opening and closing music
“ to boldly go where no man
has gone before”

My grandson A young adult 21 years old
Impetuous commanding, he can’t be told

He met a young lady they fell in love
He moved from California to Florida

A month tomorrow newlyweds
His third Hurricane he said

He was not prepared for the storm
They made a mistake stayed too long

No Gas they were not able to evacuate
Imminent, evacuate notice Monday 5 PM.

The first alert notifying residence of Charlotte, Florida of the hurricane warning

and storm surge warning went out via
email text message ,calls starting at 5 PM

The hurricane warning said the impact
of Milton devastating to catastrophic.

Milton just made landfall 8:31 PM 17mph
The eye hit land near Siesta key.
(20 miles off what was projected)

Right now it is a category 3.In some places in Tampa Clearwater, 12 to 18” rain faces

Flash flooding. After the storm passes. Surge will come. Debris in the water

The most dangerous part of a hurricane
Nearly white out conditions wind and rain

No emergency services can be dispatched with the wind that’s over 45 mph

For the next few hours, winds will pick up
Eerie quiet in the eye of the storm

With The tail end will come the water surge
My grandson and his wife in port Charlotte

Family watches the news as time passes
Praying that they will Live through this

The highest and alert/flooding
When flooding is life-threatening

Unable to reach him worry set in
Heart pounding unable to help panic begin

I cried and prayed all night long
I needed to hear from them

I finally received a text from him
I could hear the smile in his voice

a perfect choice he said We are fine
It’s as if the Hurricane Pasted us by

Damaged houses on each side
He spent the night praying, God heard him

Who is the longest night of our lives
A test I believe we passed faith in God lasts

Just knowing he is alive is reason to rejoice
Glory be to God ,hear my voice

Foot note
This poem was written in the moment, as it was unfolding it’s not my normal polished poem. It’s hard to know a loved one is in harms way so far away and there’s nothing you can do about it accept pray

Pelosi, Harris, Newson if you please
All Took their share  Government deceived

Gruesome Newson took the ***** prize
Stiff competition for who is most despised

California was a place of opulence
Pelosi destroyed San Francisco pestilence

People could steal up to $1000 dollars
And not be charged The stores hollered

They were forced to allow destruction
In the false pretense of reparation

Gucci, Chanel Prada, Finest shopping
like locusts they came counter hopping

Broken glass Stores gutted fire remained
The fire burnt out charcoal left it’s stain

Strategically groups hit a street of stores
Filling their cars with their horder scores

There were cameras all around
No arrests were ever handed down

Bathrooms Human waste on the sidewalks
Toilets locked *** **** maps people talk

Drug addicts die zombie comatose frozen
from around the world free drugs chosen

An attempt to get them out of a ***** tent
Homeless in fine hotels Government spent

Drug paraphernalia placed in the lobby
A **** lab caught on fire, druggies hobby

People came from far and wide to get high
Partied ***** drugs fentanyl they died

Another failed project Quietly went away
Harris refused to prosecute anyway

A bail fund to get criminals out of jail fast
I quote “this will not stop it will last

“They will not stop after the election
nor should they. This will continue.”
(Kamala Harris)

Harris loves, vin diagrams color coded
The wheels on the bus duly noted

Criminals destroyed San Francisco
Gavin Newson’s the biggest fiasco

There’s so much that could’ve been done
to prevent these wild fires blistering sun

An Arsonist lit ten fires before she caught herself a blaze, went to a firemen hot haze

Found Accelerant fire starters in her car
No Help from the border czar

Thank to Harris the Arsonist lickety-split
set 5 more fires before she was caught lit

Arsonist quoted, “California burn it down”
Newsom playing the blame game clown

Arsonist demanded “If we don’t get
what we want, we’ll burn it to the ground.”
No comment Newson never around

The destruction for his sake  magnitude 8
California unable to rebuild in his wake

So many homeless bursting at the seams
Mass ****** Crimes women’s screams

be careful walking from the store to the car
Criminals on the rise abducted not far

Gang, ****, *** for sale, darker from there
Government housing, new homes bare

Migrants want to take over our entire city
They tell you one group Areas are for pity

Demanded immigrants congregate together
Sharia laws, private Police lines tethered

Tags Look what gangs are in control
American Quickly learn to stay or go.

If you wonder what is in store
Look California her beauty is no more

Newson A puppet on a string
King of Jerkwater USA no bling

Don’t fret, even when people are down out
In prayer God’s clout,faith without a doubt
