I kept holding back the tears because I have nothing to fear
I kept holding back the tears because I have nothing to share
The negative energy around me is making me feel unhappy
Days in and days out they make my spirit shout
My body temperature is rising from the deep and it is making my sprit leap
I watch the morning and the evenings racing in front of me and my courage bubbling up inside of me, nobody has asked me how I feel
But they are always looking for something to eat, they drain my spiritual energy with their profound illiteracy, impolite cries are falling from
The skies and sooner or later someone is going to die
The air is stagnant with cuss and my spirit is rising from the dust
I can feel a peculiar heartbeat and my emotion swinging out into the deep.
The pregnant sky is rolling over my head and the rain clouds are
Standing by, the day is sliding away and making its mark in the day.
My stomach is growling, and birds are looking for preys. I can hear the engines rolling and the people start running, smoking is bellowing from the sky and universe is marching by.
Roll pressure point roll, roll the drum around the town, listen to the shallow beat and pass the message around the streets
Let down your frantic gown and shake your body around the town
Deliver a humble spread and cover the entire bed, roll pressure point roll
And put on your husband gown and disguise yourself in the middle of the town.
I have been saying to myself that the price to roll the dice is an awful
Sacrifice, it causes an arm and a leg, and it will raise your passion up to your head. Follow your routine and accomplish your dreams. The nights are cold the task is loud but the heavens will warm your spirit with a glow, get ready for the final show.

House on the Haunted hill
Over the years many have gotten ill
This world is rotten still
All about the dolla bills
People often steal
Why does blood always gotta spill?
Do you know how being at the bottom feels?
Tragedies occurred inside of cotton fields
Too many got the wrong ideals
Goal is a house on a hill
Truth be told, big shoes I've gotta fill
For now I'ma stop and chill
Then pop a pill
It all was worth a shot or nil
This is reality not a drill
I told you dog it's real
Went way beyond Watsonville to Bonneville
In the end it either did or did not appeal
Becoming part of the gossip mill
I will not stop until
I've truly got my fill
I know one thing though, always sippin' out this bottle kills
Cost is an arm and a leg in hospital bills
Gotta work smart and hard, since I want the mills
Not all this struggle and drama still
Like on Doctor Phil
I drop off my car in anticipation,
That it doesn’t require, complete restoration.
‘You’ll have it by two’ the young lady said
Then I am told it’s five thirty instead.
They text a report, the news is not good
Do I have to confirm? I am told that I should!
For the break pads are worn, the suspension is shot,
The tyres threadbare and the engine’s too hot.
The exhaust has a hole and the brake fluids low,
The clutch is a slipping and the wipers too slow,
The paintwork is poor and the bonnet is dented,
Should’ve had it in sooner, this could have been prevented.
It’s an arm and a leg when the invoice arrives,
Which I have to pay or my car I’m deprived!
Now the automobile’s a fairly recent invention,
But these service costs surely weren’t the intention!
Blood leaking from my nose,
A probable prologue to my death.
And it blows.
The lows,
Lately I’ve been peaking at my lows.
A dishonourable rest forever forebodes.
My heart keeps faking pounds and it shows,
Why boy are you a “shy boy”?
Wear a lie boy but it seems that they know.
Fashionable is not tolerable,
Your best however,
Your best just can’t keep up with the woes.
The worst lies heap upon lies,
Until the truth is a memory disposed.
Tomorrow costs an arm and a leg,
Temperance must foster within your mind to maintain your growth.
The days over,
Night comes with dark creeping at my neck.
My temperament lost,
It’s not easy to find the might to compose.
You fight though because tomorrow is close.
You fight,
Tomorrow is close.
Trust the pass,
Trust the path and endure the stress.
Give in and rest,
Forget the past just to regret the joke.
More or less dangle above grass,
Ensure your silhouette glides,
Endure the last breaths before you choke.
A probable prelude to my death,
The last breaths before the doze into rest.
What a joke.
With my tongue planted firmly in my cheek...
We certainly can't all be movie stars
Who'd be left to go to the show
I don't mind being the one to sacrifice
It's not about the big heaps of dough
Yes, the sacrifice would be a mighty one
But I'm prepared for life as a star
Maintaining my charm and humbleness
Which will certainly take me far
I'd live in a mansion in Beverly Hills
But I wouldn't forget my roots
You people could visit me any old time
It certainly won't cost you much loot
Normally I'd charge an arm and a leg
But for you folks it'd just be an arm
What the hey, you've got more than one
No reason to get so alarmed
It would go to a very worthy cause
To provide me with the life I deserve
For entertaining all you very sweet folks
You think I'm throwing you a curve?
How could you think so badly of me
When have I lied to you before?
I'm as straight and honest as the day is long
You've hurt me to the very core
Okay, okay, I must come clean
I'm yanking your chain a wee bit
The reason I've decided to do this for you
So you'll remember when I'm a big hit

The nights are cold but still the heat is on
mourn for who? Why seek ye the living among the dead
you been fed so why let the hungry starve
everything has a price an arm and a leg is what freedom cost
Laws were meant to be broken by the very men who claim to uphold them the most
America is no democracy it's hypocrisy
has been seen from beyond the seven seas please
spare me the cliche dreams that my country men
strive and work so hard for, to save millions of dollars
that we wont spend, so self righteous and westernized
we don't recognize our own sin, our problems we wish em away
drown em out sorrows and cast them out in some recycling bin
The flesh is tainted, lust is never satisfied
even what you see is far from correct and because we fail to ask why
or look in the mirror we overlook the number one suspect
turn our heads away from domestic genocide
but cry for justice when the victim is black or white
let's have a candle light vigil for those of you who remain quiet
instead of making sure these criminals get indicted
I heard a rumour that I never knew
Santa delivers to animals too
But, throughout the ages
He’s feared beasts in cages
So he leaves till last, his trip to the zoo
Small children, they play the game right
Of Santa they never catch sight
In the Amazon halls
Santa lost both his balls
’Cause crocodiles don’t sleep at night
The Tiger that bit off his nose
Pursues him wherever he goes
Too tight for his waist
The bars slow his haste
He’s just lost an ear and two toes
He bound his foot with a bandana
He’d meant to give someone mañana
The big ape was risky
He looked pretty frisky
And then Santa lost his banana
A coyote from Winnipeg
Snarled but he tried not to beg
He offered him joy
With a nice squeaky toy
Which cost him an arm and a leg
But Santa Claus doesn't know fear
This happens each time he comes here
In ten months or so
His bits will regrow
That’s why he comes just once a year
I would give an arm and a leg to see him, she said.
She was going to meet a new guy by name of Ted.
Only time will tell if things will turn out okay.
I am weak as a kitten, I heard my friend say.
At the end of the date she had the time of her life.
She expected this guy Ted to make her his wife.
I said, I hope you did not speak of your crazy short leg.
No, she nodded. I avoided that like the plague.
I took the tiger by the tail, she told me smugly.
Thought outside the box, called myself May Puggly.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, I reminded her.
Just in case the expected outcome did not occur.
It is as plain as the nose on my face she said later.
He was not much of a man, a notorious dater.
He is now as dead as a doornail me, that hack!
Was she actually the pot calling the kettle black?
Time sure did fly when I was having fun.
But now that he has stood me up, this creep had better run!
What should I write God?
I will write about obedience
When God tell you not to do something
Don’t do it
There is a reason behind it
You just don’t know it yet
But He will reveal it to you
When God told me not to tell someone
that a roommate I have now is supposed to stay
I was so tempted to tell to blurt out
But I caught myself
I may not know the reason right now
But I will later
I am sure of it
Got to tell you a story
Also about roommate and
Obedience
I used to have this one roommate
Who for some reasons couldn’t pay rent
Months after months
She couldn’t pay
So many times I was tempted to kick her out
That seems cruel I know
And God said “no”
Each time I was ready to say the words
He said no
So I obeyed
And wouldn’t you know it
Her mom offered to pay me all the back rent that she owed
I think it was more than a year’s rent
So you see “obedience pays”
I was able to replace all the appliances
in the house
And this was right after Covid
So everything was so cheap then
Now they would cost an arm and a leg lol
I still have the pictures of the money orders
her mom sent me
In increments
As she sent me two at a time
As a testimony of my obedience to God
And that it pays
People at the time wouldn’t understand
why I would do that
I didn’t understand it either
But I obeyed
Sometimes you just don’t understand everything
But you obey
And that’s the main thing
I thought I’d share
Hope you get blessed
Oh, how I long to touch you
it’s just that “I’m all thumbs”
and you deserve much more than just
a few remaining crumbs!
“An arm and a leg”, I would give
for one more chance, you see
But then again, if that's the case,
just where would we be?
You know that “I’m all ears”
for any thoughts you’d share
But for a man “all thumbs and ears"
just why would you care?
“It’s as plain as the nose on your face!”
I need “all hands on deck”
But with my lips, (I just have two!)
I could kiss your neck
“Ants in my pants” I hear you say
But just what would you know
As you’re the one here “all dressed up
with nowhere to go!”
“If all that glitters is not gold”
and I’m “all talk and no action“
Take off the makeup and go tp sleep
We’ll get no satisfaction!
