COVERAGE
If news are coverage
They cover for
Because they ain't the roof
And the roof is on fire
LIMITS
Poor news coverage
Cover limitly
On real occurrences
Of the world
FINITE
Finita la comedia
The limited the group
Biased is Wikipedia
Droopy doopy dup
THE NECESSITY OF THE STRONG ACCENT
Strong accent of serious occurrences
Break through
The news
As breaking
THE SHOKER
I don't want to rely on humans
No longer
For definitions of myself
And I have right to murder
For the imposing
I GOT RHYTHM
The rhythm of a healthy beating heart
Sounds like Lub-Dup, pause, and repeat
But if one is no longer in their prime
It may stagger off into an irregular time
But it’s more than just a lump of meat
The seat of emotions, playing its part
My lub dup
time ceases to flow
If I don't see you a day
my heartbeat you are.....

I CAN FEEL YOUR HEART BEAT.
I CAN TOUCH YOUR PULSE.
"LUB-DUP, LUB-DUP".
WE GOT CLOSE.
WAITING FOR CLOSER.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY FEEL,
YOU SHOULD SHOW ME THAT YOU APPRECIATE MY LOVE AS YOU WERE WILLED.
WE KISS, WE TOUCH, AND WE FIGHT.
THEN MAKE UP.
DO THIS OVER AND OVER BUT NO MORE
GAVE YOU MY HEART AND MY SOUL, MY EVERYTHING.
THEN IT WAS GONE ALL IN ONE SECOND.
HOW EVERYBODY WAS ASKING.
WHAT HAPPENED
HOW’D IT HAPPENEN.
NOW IM ASKIN
WHY DID IT HAPPEN?
THEY WANTED TO SEE US TOGETHER,
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
I WISHED THAT TO
UNTIL I REALIZED
THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.
YOU MOVED.
YOU LET OUR LOVE DRIFT.
AND IF DISTANCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER,
THEN LET IT KEEP OUR HEARTS FROM WANDER.
AS I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES.
I SEE THE REAL YOU.
THAT’S IS HINDED INSIDE
AND THAT’S WHY I AM THROUGH
ALL THE TEARS I CRYED FOR YOU,
IT DIDN’T GO THROUGH.
I HATE TO WALK AWAY.
I LOST YOU ANYWAY.
BUT I MUST SAY GOODBYE MY LOVE
