The Best Blood Money Poems

Details | Blood Money Poem |

He was in a life where he was always at odds cause he didn't know he's the righteousness of God. He was living the life of a straight up thug, fast women and guns, drinking and drugs and it all started when he was a child, with on discipline, cussing, fussing and running wild. living in a broken home where he was all alone, had a mom but no dad and life was very sad. Mom was doing all that she could but that still was no good, while going from man to man, hoping one would take a stand but not one would lend a hand.

Still, mom would say, God is good things will be alright but he didn't believe the hype. Having to go to sleep with little or nothing to eat, he got hard to the core and wasn't taking it no more. So he learned from his peeps got his degree from the streets, he got into drugs and lived the life of a thug and started hangin, slangin, and cold gang bangin. he thought, life is good I'm in the land of honey, but it was all blood money. You see we watch the lives of the rich and famous and we want the same things so how can they blame us.

So he put God last and put his money first but that turned out to be a curse, cause he was in a life where he was always at odds cause he didn't know he's the righteousness of God. Instead, all the people see, is a menace to society. The police are out trying to put him in a cage, while the other thugs are out trying to put him in the grave. He's running from house to house in need of rest, his peeps are getting tired of him starting to call him a pest, he's praying to The Lord to get him out of this mess.

He's got his mom so worried, he's breaking her down, she's wondering when he'll be put in the ground. Now his girl is leaving, says she's had enough, he wont even be around to see his kids grow up. He felt so alone, like there was no one he could trust, he had lost all his so called friends, he felt like the walls were closing in. He thought, I'm all I got left, forget them all I'll do it myself. He went to do a deal in a place that was hot, he tripped and let his guard down and ended up getting shot. As he laid on the ground he started to pray, as he felt his life slowly slipping away.

Then he fell into a dark place, where he knew he didn't belong, he couldn't see anything all he could hear was moans and groans. Lord please get me out of this place I just want to go home. Lord I know I done a lot of bad things, I thought it was the only way to live, now I know I was wrong and I am asking you to forgive. But now it's over I've played my last inning, then he heard, no my son this is the beginning. He came out of that dark place and into the light with his eyes wide open and feeling out of sight because The Lord Jesus had come into his life.

Now there's a voice in his heart and he can clearly hear it, only now he know that it's the Holy Spirit. Things have changed since The Lord has brought him through, he's no longer in the dark, his life has become brand new. And no longer in that life where he was always at odds cause now he know, He's The Righteousness of God... WOW.

Boob Jobs And Bomb Jobs

	
Boob jobs and bomb jobs

Sisters in arms those **** and those weapons of massive 
destruction sex and death go together in dynamics
thermodynamics psychodynamics fused on the playground 
of this life of this poem on which I’m allowed to feel strong 
and weak just the same at the same time or other places of mind

Not unlike the bombers and boobers maybe who view bosoms 
and blow-up jobs as signs of strength and maturity feeling free
when desperate signs and times should call for desperate
measures action not words not boob bomb bust enhancement

In the theatre of our thoughts on the surgical table in the 
euphemistic dramaturgy of holocaustic warfare and precise 
incisive operations bright neon lights cover up the darkness 
inside of us inside the vast realms of consumption consuming 
hypocrisy perversion envy and so they may shine spotlights 
on the difference and the differences in equality and opinion

Plastic **** and erect stand up nipples tucked tummies botoxed 
facial facades oozed from shiny scalpels steeled galvanised armour 
represent our swollen clitoral phalluses of meagre mindlessness

Skins consume the charioteers the chatelaines and prostitutes 
of commerce for a brighter future advocate by proxy exterminations
those genocides killing humanity life dignity blinded by the shadow’s light

Some tighten their skins some cannot save their skins are skinned alive 
when bloodstained medals shine purple hearts onto misguided proud 
uniformed chests tummy in chest out in the Forces and by the surgeons decree

Breast enhancements cost money and so do wars and destruction or do 
they not really let stocks and shares soar to the sky and generate the wishes 
for bigger larger more swollen Egos portfolios milky glands so oiled in war

Is the military-industrial complex not that busting panacea and miracle mirage 
so that gold grows on trees and wallets explode could it be prudent to recall
from psychology the inferiority complex that drives so much of human pathology

One hand feeds the other and would there be bombs without the need to 
enhance bosoms would there be boob jobs without the blood money of 
colluding wars some might declare that both bosoms and warfare are
sexy quite shiny and glitzy rather titillating instruments in the same process

They both shine coeval disorientation loss of balance somewhat
round at the edges but ragged inside both straight in your groin 
and face and rather elusive of what lies underneath under cover

Engraved in collateral destruction and fake posturing ablated 
breasts by shrapnel enhanced disguise with surgical prescription 
and precision the drooling drones and clones of our times preside 
over boobs blood guts and gore and they camouflage destruct
sponsored by bankers and bonkers and the paradigm of greed

The grim reaper measures she harvests beauty’s bounty 
glory masquerades mascara sexes up destruction regresses 
resembles yields economic satisfaction in glossy brochures 
in air raids shelters of the flights of fancy with yet another zealous 
strike or flash into the vanity’s heart of cosmetic deal ordeal denial

Glistening scorched muted veils and cover-ups portray shabbiness 
on the money sided square of that equation at the broken circles 
radiating from across the chest the mammal glands the treasures
of one world and then another linked by world view of so called 
progress science security fuelled engrossed and disembowelled 
by capitalism’s deepening depressing and depressed rewards

Decomposing human flesh and matter under grave grave yards 
over grave yards on the poorer spewed out holographic consequence  
of madness **** **** up on minds and hollow shallowness wrinkles
simmer into the lime light’s trenches when juxtaposed with tummy tucks

It’s a glitzy world some cannot want not see for gorged out eye balls 
for the insane sanitation the two sided Janus headed perpetrating 
divisive and bank rolled monsters in greedy shiny suits and shameless armour

Glitz boobs bombs and capitalism come with decisions and a price to pay
conscience wealth poverty arrogance impotence lost perspective hedonism
liberation indoctrination and they go along come with quite some heavy burden

Enlarged tissues and options for choice big small healthy dying decomposing
compassion feed the system tucked in swollen malnourished hungry scabby 
tummies lifted faces screams in horror for some basic justice charity on 
the other side of raving medal metal incision exclusion and provocation

3 evil kings

this is a tale of 3 evil kings...unholy trinity making even outlaws scream
one called pleasure...one called pain...one called power
they bring death to the game to destroy and to devour
marked with madness like the number of the beast...flooding the horizon as they dominate the least

in rides pleasure with a smile on his face...giving candy coated curses to the victims of the day
the first one's free but soon you'll have to pay
on the devils playground...that's where his children turn to clay

in rides pain as pleasure disappates...loves turns to hate and sunshine to storms
with bars on dirty windows and triple locks on steel doors
laughing loud with lunacy he makes walking timebombs tick and tock
with sour soul sadness some get sick and some get shot
once standing together now they're turning on each other...son against father and brother against brother

in rides power on a horse called hate...blood money flows as rage takes the stage
selling their souls for their only earthly options...adding fuel to the fire of their anger filled addictions
fiction to friction...telling lies in mad infernos...slow soul burns and their spirits glow

like nuclear radiation destroying countless lonely lives...like withering flowers in spring
bowing on dirty knees to those 3 evil kings
they sit laughing on their thrones staying drunk on their disease

Chemical Fire

Chemical Fire
Burn baby and give me some sulphuric hydrochloric acid smoke,
your fire gives me toasted tiktox and crisps me up nicely.
Boom goes the roof when 55 gallon drums go flying and it’s all ballistic.
The money shot is when the boss’s office goes up like a frigging rocket.
He was sat at his desk and went to the moon. 
Chemical Ali won’t be coming back anytime soon. 
Question is where is his ten million dollar profit?
Was it hidden in an empty oil drum on a pallet of dangerous chemicals?
All the factory is ablaze, three workers died and two were injured.
They should have got blood money for working there,
no risk to life was greater and no boss more meaner.
As flames reach a hundred feet and smoke a mile in the sky,
hindsight is way too late.

Judas Kiss

Thirty pieces of silver
My soul condemn to hell
Even in the presence of God
One can feel left out
Jesus how I love you
My life I surrender for thee
But something wasn't enough
I needed more than even God could give
Even God could give
Envy? Jealous? Recognition
One of twelve is never just one
To Gethsemane garden I led the arm crowd
And my sign was the kiss
I will kiss my Lord to condemn Him
"Greetings Rabbi"
As I kissed the face of my Lord
Judas kissed crucified God
The weight of thirty pieces of silver
Burdens the mind
There is no repentance for such guilt
Torture
Return the blood money but it is refused
Throw it down
And the silver splatters
Against the temple floor
Like drops of blood
Spewing from the cut throat
Of the white white lamb
The sound of silence deafens
Nothing can hear your screams
A rope and a tree
And the earthly Judas ends
Hanging into the bowels of hell
Judas kissed Jesus
For thirty pieces of silver
And Judas kiss of betrayal
Brought forth Salvation
                                                " Judas kissed Jesus
                                                   and Jesus said to him
                                                   Friend, do what you are here to do."
I did what I was here to do
Judas kiss.

THE UPROOT OF ALL EVIL

Trails of blood money
Paper trails of paper cuts
A destroyed forest

Kick and Scream

Hate is awarded by exposure. 
Love is punished by judgment. 
Why does society gravitate toward the negative? 

Darkened rooms and lit screens
full of ***** and visions of bloody scenes.

Everyone loves violence,
With wide eyes they watch with gleeful astonishment.

Waiting for the kill shot;
Taking bets on who the victor will be.

It's not society, I'll tell you that.
As far as I can see,
the only victors are gun runners and pimps.
They're the ones making all the capital-

gains off you and your family's remains-
because you let them,
because it's what you asked for.

blood, money, and sex.
Drugs and rock and roll,

You sold your soul.
Now, your asking for... a rebate?

Waiting in line for a free dinner plate.

The Devil has his hands around your ankle
and he keeps tuggin.

Why don't you kick and scream-
and start runnin? 

Because they'll say you're soft?

You're nothing but a frog warming up in a pot.
Too ignorant to know that those flames are hot!

But I'm telling you know those are flames beneath you...
Is the sinner inside you.
You need to jump out
before your death meets you.

Polemic: America, Land of the Dead

Every 16 hours a woman is shot
by her husband or boyfriend

One American is killed with a gun
every 15 minutes

Over 80 Americans are shot and killed 
every day

7 children are “unintentionally” shot
every day

33,000 Americans are killed by guns
every year

Every day 55 Americans kill themselves 
with guns

There were 330 mass shootings
in America in 2015

This is a public health issue
This is a domestic security issue
This is an every-single-citizen-is-involved issue

You could be next
or your spouse or partner or child
or mother or father or sister or brother

74% of NRA members favor background checks

46% fewer women are shot to death by husbands
or boyfriends in states with background checks

48% fewer on-duty cops are shot in states with 
background checks

51% of NRA members favor 5-day waiting periods

Most states have a 24-hour waiting period to get a tattoo 
to buy a gun there is no waiting period required

States with waiting periods before gun purchases
have 51% fewer suicides

In Texas 
no permit is required to own a handgun
no registration is required for owning long arms or handguns
no license is required to own firearms
there are no assault weapons laws
texans can carry concealed weapons if they have a permit
with no training or educational classes required

Most states are the same – trapped in oblivion

It takes 1,000 hours of training to be a yoga instructor
to buy a gun in most states no training is required

In most states there is a limit to the amount of Sudafed
you can purchase but no limit on guns and ammunition

The shooter in Aurora, Colorado was able to purchase
6,000 rounds of ammunition online without any question

The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2015
which required face to face purchases of ammunition, 
licensing of ammunition dealers, and reporting regarding 
bulk purchases of ammunition would have prevented this 
purchase of 6,000 rounds but it was killed by Republicans, 
the NRA, and its merry band of cynical lobbyist-whores

This is suicide on a national scale
Americans are killing themselves 
with more and more frequency

Where is the unrelenting national outrage?
where are the pounding national protests?

Where are the demands for investigations into the profits
of the NRA and the gun and ammunition manufacturers

This is all BLOOD MONEY profits made on the corpses 
of delusional and catastrophically misinformed Americans

What is more sacred the Second Amendment or human life
what does the meaning of freedom mean when you are dead

Jesus on Trial Part II

 
Judas Iscariot would later feel great pity.
The sad state Jesus was in he was able to see.
The thirty pieces of silver received as a fee,
would be thrown in the temple, considered “blood money‘.
This made it illegal to hold in the treasury.
Judas would then hang himself from a branch on a tree.
The money would be used to purchase a potter’s field.
All this was as the prophet Jeremiah revealed.
.
Governor Pontius Pilate would later see Jesus.
This Roman would hear all the charges from Caiaphas.
“Are you really King of the Jews?” was Pilate’s question.
“It’s as you say” Jesus said in reciprocation.
All further questioning resulted in reticence.
Pilate would wonder why Jesus maintained his silence.
The Roman governor would view this as a strange thing.
Pilate said, “I can’t sentence him.  He has done nothing!”
A normal custom done during the Passover Feast,
would be a choice of two prisoners to be released.
Among one of the selections that would be Jesus,
there was a convicted murderer named Barabbas.
Pilate asked the crowd which one they were willing to take.
Barabbas was the overwhelming choice they would make.
After Jesus was flogged, Pilate would say to the crowd:
“What shall I do with Jesus?”  He would ask them quite loud.
When asked this question, nearly all of the crowd replied:
“You should take Jesus away, and have him crucified”
To spare the life of Jesus is what Pilate had tried.
However, they all reiterated what they cried.
“Crucify him” was what the people shouted to say.
A time later, Roman soldiers took Jesus away.

Freedom

Freedom,
It comes with a price usually lost lives
so lets call it blood money 
this money been threw a constant tug of war
and it don't matter how many
just look at the lives lost 
look how much your American freedom cost
and I been a soldier yea I know the creed 
but like Biggie said "Niggas Bleed Just Like Us"
so I guess true lyricist bleed whether alive or dead
but enough said, and if you been threw the struggle
you know what I mean it ain't about the green 
but how you carry yourself 
It ain't what you know, but how you use it
and real niggas gotta feel this yea tru shhh!!
and forget my skin color,
lyrically I made my words fade to black
and I was brought up on ounces of that good in a nap sack
but just because physically you a street nigga mentally
that ain't where you gotta stay at
freedom is between the mind set and the imagination
the difference between taking responsibility 
for your actions, and just laying back contemplating 
your business & procrastinating and look around you 
everybody fears someone or something 
and if they say other wise they bluffing
everybody is leaving this earth one way or another 
so I suggest my sisters & brothers 
you stop chasing this highly anticipated blood money
because with the right motivation 
you can be everything you want and more
you're already free well your spirit is and 
that's the only thing that matters where I'm going
forget being lost, at age 17 I was found and finally set
FREE

I Do Not Envy The Poor

I do not envy the poor in the land;
What does my life has to do with their stinking lives?
I do not envy the needy in the society;
Their lives are one of my dreams to change,
I do not envy the drunks; their lives are most
Pitiable condition that I know .
What honey does the eyes see in watching a
Stinking bra that exposed itself like a rotten corpse?

I do not envy the deaf and dumb because
They could not hear the stinging words that
Dances to torment us and, take away our peace.
I do not envy the cripple men out there
Because they could not walk the long distance
I walk to and fro from my work place.

I do not envy the blind ones in the street
Because they could not see the pains we see,
But I pray that God's mercy guide them more.
I do not envy the dead ones in the mortury because
The sun nor the rain harm them not like it does to me.
What more is left to withstand in the wine that has already lost its taste?

I do not envy those in the hospital because
They are in conformed situation unable to move,
I do not envy the politicians because they loot our money; what does my life has to do with blood money?
I do not envy those that has no hand because they
Work not as I kill myself everyday and night in the name of government work in building my nation.

I do not envy the beggars in the homeless street
Because they earn money without struggling but,
I must be myself and act as God has created me.
I do not envy elders that hide keys to our tomorrow,
Ignorance made them to do so with dark heart.
I do not envy people writing love song because
I do not have a love song in my throat.

I do not envy the talking parrot because he only
Make noise which can not be seen on pages,
My words are on papers to be read by all even the
Parrot himself; whose mouth call down demons.
When the next generation comes, let it be told
That John chizoba vincent, a poet came without envy.

My fellow poets with pot heads and kettle eyes,
I do not envy you at all, not even in the darkest
Part of my heart which smell like a rotten corpse;
I do not envy any not even Dangote, every one has his own lane and part to play in life before another phase opens for all of us.

I do not envy those that earn more than me,
You reading this, I do not envy your eagle eyes;
Every day your eyes arise searching for what to feed itself with, I don't envy you.
I do not envy the oil in the Nigeria' pipe,
I do not envy your wife, I have my own skirt;
I envy nothing, I envy nothing because it kills.

Lumumba

Tonight when I think of the people
I cannot tear you out like a page
For men and ideas are the struggle
Ideas can only explain our rage.
There should be a Lumumba day
In Africa, wherever the Congo flows
Some vision as foundations stay
Some death are meant alone for heroes.
Those colonial advantage is dying
The blood money looters now cough
Tell me why the Congo is not danccing
Lumumba, I fly you as the flag aloft.

Triumphant Leaders Part 3

Toussaint they dance in Louisianna, and New Orleans
Omitting to say that these two places are blood money paid
Unto the colonies, snuffing your revolution by any means 
Subtle French diplomacy that history would parade
Solutions of lies in the revolution that Crispus made
Afro-centric leader, pioneer liberator, O that you could see 
Images of this decrepit shadow, the deal made Haiti to be
Negro colony collapsed like a mildew rag upon a golden sand.
Temple here again another citadel of freedom in the sun.

Let the great Dessalines call from his slave barracks again
Organize him with them, make them all fighting men
Unique in the vision that Boukman intuit theology revived 
Visions some racist philosophers native animism would deprive:
Existential, mythical, ontological, the awakening more than
Revolutions fleshed by blood, the black man mind lifted up
Tents and tennacles of the genius that sailed seas of sand
Unrope again the slave from sugar tea in that Liverpool cup
Rebel intellectual, great Toussaint, Napolean's luster fades
Eclipsed by the glory of your name across the new decades.

Federick do you think you people now forget how you paved
Erosions in the great emancipator's cause, until he relented
Digressing from the act of enslaving men. The West craved
Expansions of their new fronteir, on the back of the tormented
Remnants of the Atlantic trade, but you kiting in war winds
Instigated through fly of words, a subtle shift of rumbling breeze
Call for that genius, they sent you to Haiti, cutting the string of sins
Keeling towards a black liberation without the bended knees.

Due to you are laurels, when Afric's children in their van
On to brighter future, rise from where the day began
Under dark bush of morning, where a slave use to sit
Gathering knowledge and self teaching the burden to acquit
Let children today learn, education is not a white light
Africa's lamp was the dawning of the culture that brings might
Straddling the seas, O race, be a Douglas, set wisdom in your sight.

Mommy why does my country bleed

My daughter asked me today 
Why did my daddy go away
I had to hold my tears 
It was hard to see that my husband had missed so many years
His little girl was now in front of me asking for her dad
God help me what can I say that won’t make her mad
Your daddy had to go be a superhero like on tv
That’s why he’s not here with you or me
He is out fighting the evil forces that would try to hurt us
Don’t worry he will be back soon in that you can thrust
Mommy you sound like what my teacher in school said to me
She said America is the land of thrust and home of the free
I hugged my little girl and off to eat dinner we went
I was hoping that her moment was over and she had nothing left to vent
But once more she turned to me and ask
Mommy why does everybody look so sad
I saw on TV all the people began to bleed
I stop and said hunnie what do you mean
She said their eyes are bleeding 
As I turned to look at what she was seeing
I realized my daughter was referring to tears
Is this what you mean hunnie is this part of your fears
Yes mommy their eyes all bleed
At that moment I realized what America had us see
My daughter thought tears were blood and that scares me
She sees everyone cry over the lost souls of this war
I cannot believe this country has taken it this far
Mommy the kids in school say that’s where daddy was seen
Mommy I don’t want to be part of the people in the country that bleeds

Toy Soldiers

Here the wooden soldiers were to stand

They waited for their command

Although they were not real 

They spoke and thought as if they could feel

I wonder where our general is I wonder where he’s gone

We need a leader who is brave powerful and strong

Without him we are just wooden and must stand still

No general to call us and have us do his will

Their eyes began to brighten as in walked their leader

Though something was wrong with him they wondered why

Why does our leader fall to the ground and cry

The young boy stood and walked to his army which he could command

The one place he felt safe where no one would lift their hands

To his soldiers he started to say

Help me destroy him take him away

My Wooden soldiers you will protect your general until he mends

To battle we will go and fight until the end

The soldiers knew what was wrong with their leader now

The pain that was inflicted on him revenge they vowed

We will not let you down our general we will comply

All of us will protect you and we understand why

That scary monster that hurts you him we do not fear

We know he has been attacking you throughout the years

He lined up his soldiers and prepared for the final fight

The monster that haunts you will perish tonight

The soldiers were prepared and set-up by their rank

Suddenly in walked the monster and to his knees he sank

The soldiers saw as the monster came inside

To their surprise he had their leader’s eyes

Away went their general with fear and tears

The monster that hurt him was finally here

No more screams were heard as the boy was taken away 

In a dark room quiet the wooden soldiers lay

A child’s imagination was broken that night

All because he was too young to fight

Had his neighbors spoken when they heard his cries

That innocent young boy might still be alive

LIKE AN ASTEROID

Burning rocks had 
a near miss. The 
questions splatter 
the blood-

to inspire and break 
you inside and out. 
Unbecoming, to end the 
relationship. The story?

begins of an introvert. 
The ungreen grass waits 
for your wet toes, 
to breathe again.

The blood-money was 
very high, after the? 
violent end of a  
blade run.

My pillow is soaked of 
a moonfall. The anguish 
of a bodyless grave 
was haunting.

Shout

I am alone in a room full of strangers

I have a fear of impending danger

But the funny part becomes that they don’t see me

They are partying and carrying on wild and free

I scream once and then again

Nothing no moment not even a friend

I scream more through the halls

But no return just my empty call

Suddenly a man with a cloth appears in front

He says you will fade away for you they won’t hunt

I fall to the ground crying please no

He just laughs in my face because he already knows

No they will not forget me I will continue to shout

My screams will go on till someone reaches out

So again I shout hear me see me people please look

But nothing I was the fish writhing on the hook

I tried to run

Hoping my impending doom would not come

I ran down a hall of mirrors and fright filled my eyes

I was slowly disappearing the man had told no lie

I cried and cried while he laughed

His vicarious laugh was making me mad

I scream no go away

And soon as I did that the whole room began to fade

I awoke and realized my eyes had been deceived

All this had been a bad nightmare I cant believe

I called everyone I know to see if they could hear

They found me crazy carrying on about this fear

I can hear you what do you mean

I smiled and laugh dear god thank you it was only a dream

knows what forming puddles around my best leather boots.  The ones with the shine to 
blind the eye.

There she was.  A common strumpet.  Drunkenly making her way towards me.  Jingling 
her purse of meager coins.

Blood money.

Obtained by logging men on the heads whilst they took their fill of her.  Only to have 
her sell them to sea Captain's that do not ask questions of where their crew came 
from.  Or whether they were willing.

I could feel the evil in the air about her.  I heard her heart beat and felt her blood pulse.

She was delicious.

Not a drop wasted.  

As I sit here, the thought comes to me, that I shall
be damned.

But wait!  I am already damned and I thrive within it.  I not only thrive...I revel in it.

Now where is that odious, rangy, mouse burping kitten gotten off to.
GADS!  She is up the draperies once again!

I will calmly go get the ladder, which I had to buy just for these occasions.  I will place it 
up against the drapery staff.

I will climb up.  Gently coaxing the little flea bitten darling to me.  She will hiss and claw 
like the vixen she is.

But, alas.  I adore her so.

Mother taught me

Mother taught me
When pride cankered me to climb
Trees upside down before the crowd
She scolded me
The higher the monkey climbs, son
The more he will
Expose. Her lessons truth has won
Feel now the thrill

For when took gold
And tongue, and people from the land
Nothing was left but tears and dying
Of human soul
All that gold was cankered with our blood
Things fall apart
Everywhere, the old systems melt to mud
Mother was smart

Blood money gone
Misery shakes the clouds of coming dawn
Confusion fold the banks that genius brimmed
A naked fawn
Alone and vulnerable, shivers in the sight
The trigger pressed
And Europe gropes through thickening night
Greed is careless.

Suicide haunts fear
Of the coming apocalyptic readjustments now
The wounded fawn rushes to the cliff, but blind
Nor can it hear
It is not the hunter but the wind in its chase
It's climb too far
I made impotent cannot rescue or its debt erase
Time healed my scar.

Send The Troops Home

A necessary evil in this world is war, that is for sure,
It's necessary to use force, so human dignity and rights may endure.
What's evil is all the blood money lining top government pockets,
So many innocent people are dying and only government can stop it.

Who really knows how much money they intend to make,
How much money is worth all those innocent lives that are at stake?
How much longer is the United States going to justify staying in Iraq,
My personal opinion is oil is less important than dying soldiers under attack !

Saddam is in jail, a new government is now in place there,
Now leave them alone !
It's time to get more help for Katrina victims,
SEND THE TROOPS HOME !

Alimony - Broke For Nothing II

Alimony is selfish pay
punishment pay 
retribution pay
dont you just want to go your own way?

what pleasure can you get
take blood money
what I can't understand
is your laziness in this life
of value?
what about earning your own way?

Of course, now i see how you set it all up
never working
always fighting
always just too unsure
crybaby one minute, banshee the next
he never had a chance.

no one owes you anything in this life
and my prayer is
you will make a fatal mistake
and everyone
will KNOW.
