Had a look at Wayne Glew, having a go.'

Officer first reported shot in the leg.' Now
It is the shoulder..Which is closer to the head.' Now some bait is lured, 'up to a mill ?' They've said.' Sort of like having a price on his head..Meanwhile a crime wave is hitting Melbourne town, shops robbed three to four times in twelve hours.' Stressfull to the mind.' I see the strain on
My people, niw don't think on this I'm going

Sidewalk Steppin

Crime wave, crime pays
Crime goes on all day
But its not a crime to 
feel the way i feel
Say the things I say
I stole your bike 
cause had built in getaway
I stole your wife bewcause
She said she wasnt 
into it anyways
I dont know why Im so 
Worried about it.
God knows the world
Servbes me cold
So I sent your wife 
riding your bike righ
Back into your life
Right back to you

 that 
Right here in the situation
Right here in the clench
Jammed up in the bottleneck
Right here in the strategic conversation
Youre complete dissertation
Your doctorites thesis 
On masterbation
You otta check
Direct deposit your
Thoughts through  
your hollow neck
If you check what I bought
You know 
That its time that
Its time to inspect

The Elephant In the Room Guns

In watching 
the news coverage
Of the rising crime wave

There is one thing missing
Everyone skirts around it
No one wants to deal with it

No one wants to talk about it 
No one wants to do anything else 
The elephant in the room 

GUNS 
GUNS	
 	GUNS 
GUNS 
MORE GUNS 
GUNS FOR EVERYONE
NO LIMITS
NO LICENSE
GO GET A GUN
	
The result
More deaths 

Guns kill people
That is what they 
Are designed to do

That is the Buddha-nature
Of guns after all

So easy to pull the trigger
Blow someone away
Dead people tell no tales

 MUST 
GET 
MY 
GUN 

The elephant in the room
Smiles
The NRA smiles
Their work is done.


Premium Member What's the Harm

The more I learn the less I know
global warming closing Eskimo Joes
Rivers run down but the Nile runs up
first taste of beer from a tippy cup
Dead birds pile high at a windmill farm
going green what's the harm
Lets say we will when we won't
Lets say we did than don't
Take the jab against your will
when all you needed was a cheap pill
Praying for rain in a flood
soon we will all be living in huts of mud
No more baths save water instead
some days best to stay in bed
Little boys now are little girls vice versa
gender confusing children makes it worsa
The Big Lie now Stop the Steal
fake media governs with the unreal
Essentials gone shelves are empty
Let's Go Brandon, where's our Horn of Plenty
Crime wave swells to floods
life was better funding the Fuzz
Feeling red while forced by blue
Big Orange Monster we miss you

Premium Member Riding the Wave

Met a surfer today
  riding the crime wave
Ax-murderer that I am
  he went to a watery grave

I got away scot-free, of course
  police deparment being defunded
Chased me with a carousel horse
  Even I could outrun him

Barney Fife

Barney the Deputy of Mayberry,
one bullet in pocket he did carry.
Before a crime wave could flood,
he would nip it in the bud.
To the law the Deputy was married.

The Pain I Feel

Right now my heart is full of pain.

Each day it's getting harder for me to maintain.

Because it's cold and I can't stand the rain.

And just because I'm a gangster society is disdain.

Disdain with my way of living.

Now they got me wondering will I ever be forgiving.

Will society ever forgive me for the choices I made.

Even thou I'm a proud American I still feel betrayed.

Now I'm bleeding from within because I'm society slave.

Deprave by this world but trap within this crime wave.
