I gave the dice of love a toss
I betted upon a true loss
I let my heart be my cold boss
that beat with a scar.
I even went undercover
to see if I could discover
if you would be a scam lover
and yet here we are.

In Defence of Donald Trump

In defence of Donald Trump 

How does one write about the indefensible? A person, so vulgar brass and
egocentric lusting for power; Yes, I think of Donald Trump, the impossible.
Why is it after being banned by the press and Twitter, he is now more popular
than ever before, it is, I think, because he speaks the language people understand 
He knew his enemy and how to appease them by putting the embassy in Jerusalem
get the Israeli off his back, knowing how much power in America they yielded.
But Israel got a whiff of his thinking of them press betted on another horse, 
America first, the Americans living away from Washington   Get it and will vote for 
him at the first opportunity.
The majority of true Americans are not stupid; they know the reality of being prisoners 
of Washingtons Jewish influence, America first, is a rallying call to make people free 
of the poisonous influence of Israel.
They know this, the people of the plains, the prairies of America are not free before 
the land is free of the occupations of the true America.

When Emotions Run High

When emotion run high and you want to scream and cry. You feel helpless to the trouble at hand. And you know no one will understand.
 I just put on my mask that says
        "EVERYTHING's OKAY."
But I have a sadness as deep as the ocean floor.
That s the kind of pain  that's in betted  in your core. 
My Feelings are so intense, they wouldn't possibly make sense to you. 
You wouldn't understand the things I've been through, how  I Think, or why I do the things I do. They make me weak, they make me strong.
It's a roller coaster of feelings I ride. 
My true self, I do hide.
So I just put on my mask that says                    "EVERYTHING's OKAY."
