The arrest of David Berkowitz ended the growing terror faced by New York City,
but investigative journalist Maury Terry uncovered much more to this story.

"I abort thee-
Am I more alive spiritually or physically
you can't kill me
though the flesh you rip apart you dissect you vacuum and separate
I'm a blemished
You can't kill me
abolished by your soul physically so
you creep you rip you sweat you weep
you ain't pregnant now
change of heart,change of mind like a Maury Povich the kid's not mine
So she wept
But in her heart and her spirit
She kept co-creator
Whether she was raped or impregnated in lustful reps
Why can't you keep it
I'm not an it, something you disguard as trash
I am a soul, first spiritually whole
a living soul
And I come from God
Abortion: when you take my physical fetus
and dissect it
My flesh, bones and body into portions
Killing the flesh
but yet
There's something more blessed
I am left I am just I'm leaving spirit"
I am a spirit and humanity you can't kill me
So at all I say as I end this play
I bought those Who kill the flesh the body
I avoid the signing off Child of Christ
I abort thee?"

My dad, born today, the 17th of February
bucked fate head-on, courageous and daring
Raised in a home on a block so poor
he swam upstream, de rigeur
In 1926, all his teeth fell out
lack of fluoridation won that bout
In 1929, young brother Sidney died of malnutrition
the family couldn't afford to see a physician
In '33, he chucked religion, came to Chicago on a mission
to look for a job midst the Great Depression
His family had gambled on their decision
that my father Maury's iron-willed ambition
Would see brother Herman through dental school
which my dad would pay for, as a hard-working fool
And so he did (!) and so it went, 'till my father Maury was
sent overseas, B.A. in hand, to fight Adolph Hitler in a foreign land
When he returned, he earned himself a law degree
married his sweetheart Maxine with two pennies
or three to his name, he toiled at his law firm's bottom
'till he saved so much money that a ranch house he got him
in Highland Park, Illinois in a subdivision on a tree-lined street
my dad's rags-to-relative-riches story, a Horatio Alger throwback treat

Which was the Son, WHO IS YOUR FATHER
Which was the son
Of all man
Where does he come from
Comes from
We have
the
same Father
Which was the son of Adam
Which was the Son of God
Some of us had three Fathers
In our life
One Spiritual God the Father
One Spiritual Lucifer/Satan Father of lies
One natural physical dad "you fill in the blank_______________"
My father name is
Are you thankful
Question is you know who your daddy is
Have you repented are you temporary one of Satan's kids
As Maury Povich would say, "Do you know who the father is?"
"And the results are in ____________Your daddy is?,
"Satan, you are not the father"
Which was the Son, WHO IS YOUR FATHER
Allah
St. Luke 3:23-38

There's something crazy going on these days
Down at the city zoo
The giraffes have joined the high society club
While the monkies are getting tattoos
The elephant's are packing up their trunks
And moving to the Bronx
With all the hippos on a diet
In an effort to lose their junk
The Lions have stopped lying
The cheetahs have stopped cheating
And as far as all their drinking
They're both going to A.A. meetings
The orangutans are the ones to blame
For a pyramid scheme gone bad
Left the zebras all in the red
When they lost everything they had
The crocodiles are out sunning themselves
By the pool drinking Piña coladas
While the mother snakes go on Maury
To try and figure out who is the father
Yes, things are a little crazy these days
Down at the city zoo
But if you were locked in a cage all day
Wouldn't you go crazy too?

Hello Dr. Phil, have you got a segment
I've got a few things latched onto my mind
Don't worry this won't take but a second
If you do me this I'll return the favor in kind
Hello Dr. Phil, it's about my mother
Well really both her and my mother in-law
If you care to throw my wife into the picture
That wouldn't be far off at all
Hello Dr. Phil, have you run into this problem
Or am I a first and is there a cure
Call me right back Doc, I think I can take it
Can you tell me how much longer I've got in this world
Hello Dr. Phil, you might recognize me
I've been to see Oz and those Dr's on Channel 4
Though they canceled my moment said I was clingly and needy
Hello Dr. Phil, can I be a friend of yours
Hello Dr. Phil, have I mentioned the aliens
Do you do abductions, is that your forte
Cause if you do I can get you more ratings
We'll bowl over Maury he'll have nothing to say
Hello Dr. Phil, I keep calling and calling
The heavy breathing? Yea, could be me on the line
But if you would answer neither of us would stress out
We could solve both our problems if you'd just give me the time

Cool Trinidad girls
They running on the beach
And they playing around
Dancing to the music
And singing a song
Does matter what age you are
Or if your hair is full with curls
You all are superstars
You are Cool Trinidad girls
Going San Fernando having fun
Shopping for the latest style
Hannah and Amanda
Laughing all the while
Some wear diamonds
Some like pearls
Put them all together
And you will get cool Trinidad girls
Some like to go to the mall
Some will stay home and cook
Some like to watch movies
Some like to read a book
Some like roti and tomatoes
Some like porridge ten day old
Put them all together what you get
Cool Trinidad girls
Some do house work
Some polish nails
And they always know
When the stores have sale
Some like doubles with pepper
Some eat MacDonald’s fast food
Don’t mess with them
They all got attitude
Some like a red solo sweet drink
Some like sorrel and Maury
Some don’t like to share ice cream
Like my cousin Julie
So a message to Trinidad boys
Take it and keep in your souls
Don’t ever miss with
Them cool Trinidad girls

Oh mother Hubbard went to the cub bard to fetch her dog a bone
but in 2008 if he had not ate P.E.T.A would picket her home
that old lady who lived in the shoe
with all the kids knowing not what to do
she put in a paternity suit she should not have bothered
live on Maury " your are not the father"
mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
he followed her to school one day for lunch they had gyros
three little kittens
lost their mittens
and they began to cry
they crept in the store
and stole some more
and now they are warm and dry
i just needed to type something to fu fill my obligation to my self to write
something every day.

Daily dose of nothing
On the TV screen
I feel the sickness rise inside of me
With each passing image I see
Show after show
About nothing at all
Other people's problems
Nowhere to go
Dr. Phil will fix your marriage
Maury will find your baby's daddy
Here's your fifteen minutes of fame
Put on your makeup and get ready
Your problems are now no longer your own
You've opened up your doors of shame
Now the whole world knows
