with a less complex range than an enslaved ahss,
inspiration sadly discarded as they spas,
the rap I grew up with is a thing of the past.

Talent? Witch please, mumble's...

consider the source
could tell had been a big horse
could run a great course
(who we did endorse)
(in state of remorse)
(ran while in full force)

a place we would reach
where trump will have to impeach
contract he did breach

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG

9 months apart!!!
three brothers
first one died
second one blind and retarded
third one turned oldest?
together we are strong
maybe, suppose to been twins
if so this was God's business
9 months apart
mother, father heart
premature
birth in the frost

My goodness, this house is a total disgrace"

For I knew I had no escape route to take.
My adversary had succeeded this time in his assault. 

To my redeemer I turned to.
To Jesus I faced once again.

My saviour, who I had wounded once...

A sharp elbow in my ribs,
Listen,she hissed.
The regular thumping on the back door
Brought me wide awake.
Stealing nervously to the passage window
I squinted out.
There bathed in the moonlit glow
Stood a big Alsatian
Coiled to launch yet another...

And the problem they cause is the huge shortage of hosts
For there aren't many willing to tolerate that
Which is where I ride in with my ghost...

Into my general path with a low voice.
Included are profound love and rejoice.
There will certainly be no lyrical illusion.
Simply a breathtaking, supple inclusion.

In the same vein as a delectable sweet.
She brings joy and a soft,...

As I pull out my retainer
And put it in the container
I am ready for bed
And I lay down my head

I hope to dream of you
Every thought of us can come true
And in my dream

We're all ingredients in the humanity stew
The sad clowns
The prescription abusers
The chickens running around without their heads

This dish can never be out done
It's killing me

Ageing retainer
losing hearing
and codependent consciousness
in this silent sacred season
snoring snowy wonder

A winterish hibernating memory,
Dreams of globally peaceful slumber
resolving GoldenRules

Revisiting now absent win/win...
