Restoring Deeply Conservative Progress

derive from tribal chiefs,

Paying To Play

Imagine
if you would be so kind,
join me
in striving to become 
less blind

Brilliant God says:
Give to your oppressively militarized government
weaponized suppressive
defensively repressive
straight white monotheistic privilege
paid for in tax advantages

And so
it was nationalistically done

Every fall
all co-invested residents...

Are We Safer Now

Joy in mourning

resurrecting dawn."

Is my heart still beating
safe...
