The Pacific and the Speaker

"THE PACIFIC AND THE SPEAKER" $260.00 in my bank account. 34 years old. 240 pounds. 2 failed relationships, well there were more than 2. what I’m referring to is the ones that produced children. as the Midnight Special plays to my Pacific, I speak truth about these two whores. they chose the cock over me and the kids. God said there would be trials and tribulations. did my trials make my tribulations? did my tribulations make my trials? I’m $200.00 closer to death, 34 years into asking what I’ll leave behind. 240 pounds before I’m a dust that can be blown away. my boys. my dear sweet boys, Eddie, Robert and Addis. you’re everything the world knew I had. the world I was born into is not the same one all three of you created for me. if I never make any dreams come true or save a life or invent the next greatest invention, be proud of your old man anyway. tell God to watch over me wherever I end up.
