Mind Be Told. Lies Are Bold.
No Need For Peace
When Money Acts Like Grease.
People Lose Their Grip
When Voting Is A Power Trip.
Revenge Yells Loud
Mercy Can’t Be Found.
War Fills History’s Blanket
At An Anger Eating
Bombing Banquet.
Nerves On A String
Fearful Thoughts Make Them Sing.
It’s Brain Pain For The Insane.
Inner Sound Pours Loud.
Searching For Right
With Dim Headlights.
Nothing’s Set When Destruction
Takes A Seat With Muddy Feet.
Cause Violence Likes To Boast
When Negative Beliefs
Crack The Whip
And Truths Do A Flip.

Filled With Flies
Double Jerk Night
Fame And Fright.
One Likes Might
The Other Banks On Bytes.
Shred The Sand In Their Plan
If You Can.
Crabs Do It Best
When Water Makes A Mess.
Insipid Thoughts Turn
Like A Spinning Urn
Hatched From Ancient Burns.
Bleeding Ashes Tell The Tale.
Body Feels Like A Jail
In A Sea Of Disbelief
Full Of Gritty
Bullshit Grief.
Forget The Foggy Goons
That Spit Out Gloom.
Like Striped Cats Licking
Half-Eaten Pie
Filled With Flies.

Faked Its Load
Twirling Rabbit Has Raunchy Habits
Makes That Body Looks Bent With A
Double D Wing-Tip Scent
And A Mouth Full Of Tweets.
That's A Scary Beat.
Cause—
Hawks Squawk About Pocketing Money
On The Way To The Blank
With All Things That Stank.
Hey―
Phony Images
Are A Crash-Filled
Separation Sign.
Cause Anger Wants More
When Any War Makes A Score.
Fear Turns To Roar.
Vengeance Dresses To Lore.
Hanging On Picky Vines
With No Shine
Like A Piece Of Fools Gold
That Faked Its Load.

Full Of Stains
Flag’s A Mess
Ethics Flunked The Political Test.
Morality’s Motto Is Less.
Leaders Call — “Defame And Brawl.”
The Web Of Deceit Has Sticky Feet.
Fear Runs Loose In The Mind
Of A Crazed Tariff Moose.
Hollow Be Thy Blame —
When War Is The Road To Fame.
And Lies Are The Name Of The Game
Wearing A Red Tie
With Blue Suit Pride
While Holding Pockets
Filled With Shame
And A Hat Full Of Stains.

Bag Of Pity Slime
The Chief's Flagrant Nose, Yo—
It Got Bent A Bit.
Always Ready For A Pose.
Like When—
Two Party Cats Come Up To Bat.
On A Field With Lots Of Holes.
They Take A Swing And Hear A Ping.
Their Tails Begin To Explode
In A Mess Of Overload.
Cause Democracy By The Slice
Sits On A Bed Of Burnt Fried Rice
That Reeks Of Fear
And Barks At Peers.
That Want To Ride
Moment Time
In A Bag Of Pity Slime.

Star Of The Show
Nail It To The Wonder Wall.
Humans Like To Brawl.
Make No Mistake.
Double Standards Eats Like Cake.
Folks Sit In Church And Rehearse
How Forgiveness Looks In Verse.
But When The Picky Flock Ticks And Rocks
Hatred’s Mind Is Prime Time.
It’s An Emotional Eruption Filled With Corruption.
Any Battle For Peace Is A Gruesome Beast.
Blood In The Streets— Homes In Retreat.
Death Overflows. God Rows To And Fro.
People Hide Their Soul When War
Is The Star Of The Show.

New Life Begins
Capitalistic Leaves Hang On Limp Trees.
Broken Romances Lost In A Dream.
Panic Seeds Take Justice To Its Knees.
Wacky Legal Branches Spit Like Peas.
Flowers To Be —Watch The Same Old Tease.
Flush That Crude Out With That Grufty Snout.
Throw Anger In Like A Rusty Safety Pin.
Stretch It Tight — Chew It Just Right
You Got The Might.
Roots Of Pleasure Have Lots To Measure
Until The Mind Bobs And Spins. . .
And New Life Begins.
