concealed
But can't your hurry already and be 
revealed
It's...

It thinks all of your thoughts, and tells you what...

Cow chips and a bottle of piss,
perfect snack for your unclean lips
Hitting the fan
is a stale sewer smell
The six-by-twelve

All Dreams Deferred
By Sy Roth

Dreams imprisoned.
Langston toed them, and lethargically they wiggled 
But could not rise from the ashes of their sadness.

The dreams that once took residence 
Wallow...

And chicken he does know
But the youth of today are not finger licking
They're licking of the toads

When they run out of their drugs
They must run out of their minds

:) :-)
Wear a smile all day, 
smile away the day
and watch the effect 
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not

abound.

And don't you look your best 
when you...

Guns are a problem, although you say they're not, 
Without a gun please tell me how many kids were shot?

People get to talking-there's blame to pass...

I watch our liberal congress with little admiration
As they show their family values to our entire nation
They say if you don’t have time for children 
Because you’re in a hurry
Just murder them before they’re born
Then...

Just an object among the trees
Common as a rock on...

You can't miss what never exist
From time of birth you were never around.
Once you do come around.
