The Man Who Never Smiles

There is a man who never smiles
He works his life away day by day
His past was bad so bad he will never smile again
At the age of ten his mother passed in a horrible car crash
He was lucky to have survived
Laying in the hospital striving to survive
At the age of fifteen he lost his daddy
Forty years of smoking and drinking finally caught up with him
His brother worked himself to death
He worked 25 years in the red hot sun never took a day off
Took a lot of hits from the prisoners he guarded
Now all this man has left in life is himself
A pistol and a bullit
A shotglass and whiskey
Pull the trigger
Say goodbye

America Home of the Corrupt

America a country of change
A country through time that has proven itself 
It was such a beautiful place to be 
It never mattered what color or Ethnicity you were everyone had an opportunity.
But That has changed immensly.

As I speak now hundreds of men women and children 
Are dying of
Fezzing Temperatures, because they have no clothing
Diseases, because they have no medical thechnolgies or medicines to cure them
Hunger' because they have no food and no money to get it

This can be blamed on us The United States Of America
A country with several resources and plentiful ammounts of food 
and it will not be shared in the greed of humanity and not only us
but other countries too.

As I speak now innocent civilians are being beaten or shot by the police
for no reason at all other than the fact they were stating their opinions
About an evil and corrupt government.

Millions of people around the country are being brainwashed by television advertisments 
created by orginizations whose sole purpose is to make you buy their products
Regaurdless of your financial statability.

In the root of it al is being caused by a corrupted government trying to keep a large continet stupid
By regulating the teaching in public schooling to their advantage to make the population unaware
of the greedy Police state with no Privacy and the creation of a state of a struggle for survival 
right under their noses.

The simplicity is money is the root of evil
Our government simply wishes to delete all competition
and end democracy
These words need to be heard and this country and this world need to change .


America Land of Free
Home of the Corrupt and Evil
What would the founding Fathers say ?

Thank you for listenig show your friends this.

The Devil Himself

I feel horrible about being a slave
Day by Day I work
For a man that I hate

I decide to leave on the Underground Railroad
To escape from my master, the Devil himself
Get away and hope to be safe

I hope to leave on a warm summer day
I am waiting for my chance to go
I will escape to the north for my freedom

My journey takes me to places
Places I have never seen before
Unfortunately, I can only see these places after dark

I face the danger of being caught
Being returned to the plantation
Where I will be beaten, by the devil

The dangers have made me feel unsafe
No matter where I go, I am never safe
I still can be caught

I have help along the way
The people who support us
The people who leave signals for us to stay

I have made it to the north, to freedom
I react with a great rejoice
Joy, which I have never had before

My Love

I stared you down
You sparkled in the light
My heart is for you
Glazed or not
Crispy Creme I love you.

On the Side of the Road

On the side of the road
I lay in a box
I wake up every morning to rummage for food
I stand on the sidewalk beggging and entertaining for a small scrap of change
The only safe haven for me is the public buildings it's warm and safe there
I sleep in a alley way don't know if I will survive a night
Muggers come in the night but I have nothing to give 
They just beat me and all I get in return is bruises
I find a lottery ticket in a store and I have just enough so I try my luck
It happens that I won a million dollar ticket
I live in a mansion with a swimming pool
The mobsters who beat me Now work for me
Life turned out to be in my favor
Now try your luck

Stuck On Me

Get off my shoe
You pile of goo
You follow me wherever I go
Like a stalker in the night
Gum, Get off my shoe

Spies

His life is now constantly watched
What has he gotten himself into
They locked him away in the nuthouse
All he did was love but he was not loved

She was beautiful he loved her
We spent many evenings together
Had many happy times together
Until it changed his love got into drugs

She bought from dealers
She slept around 
There was no more love for him
She eventually found the one for her

Late past midnight at the drive in
he waited and followed them
Back to their place 
he entered in the front door


A pistol with a bullit 
And end the fellow 
Who stole from me
he quickly said
You take my love
I take your life

The police found him
Now he will be watched forever

The Love of Family

I am alone and afraid
In a city street alley
Not a physical alley
But a mental one
I can see nothing 
They Laughed at me
They made fun of me
I ran into this alley
To escape their prejudice
I got lost and could not find my way
I needed someone to help me
I found that someone
Or so I thought
She lied to me, And broke my heart
Drove me deeper into this deep dark alley
I sensed danger
I was fearful 
That I might lose my way
I realized That I was not lost
I did have a guide away from the darkness
My family who loved me and cared for me, All my life
They found me lost in the darkness, Of my own pity and depression
They guided me back to the light of reality
It was then that I realized I should not lose myself in the darkness because of one 
lost love
Not because I did not care but because I found there was more love for me than I 
ever imagined possible.
The Love of Family.
