Premium Member Stubbed Toe
I didn’t mean to stub my toe
At two I cry
At fifteen I swear
At twenty one I don’t even notice
At thirty two I wake up in a jail cell
At forty? WTF...

Premium Member Resistors Not Traitors
One can not fight in a war
when one does not believe in what one is fighting for.
One who would rather serve time in a jail cell
than throw their moral convictions to hell
is just as much a hero in my eyes
as any brave veteran recognized....

In the Belly of the Beast
As I sit here in this jail cell
where evil spirits and demons feast.
I can feel the hatred around me
here in the belly of the beast.

With each shouted curse or scream of pain
the evil around me grows.
I'm a single Christian Soldier
where the enemy forces flow....

Premium Member Clown Car Or Elevator
A clown car or an elevator?
A forest or a meadow?
Sad or happy?
The choice is yours.

Pink polka dots or Linen Gray?
A kitchen accident or a freight train?
Joyfulness or Melancholy?
The choice is yours.

A magical kingdom or a jail cell?
Pie or cheese?
Excitement or Boredom?
The choice is yours....

Premium Member Don'T Cheat Uncle Sam
There was once a fella named Dan
                 Who always ran from the tax man
                        Till he woke up in jail cell
                        And he began to just yell
               Uncle Sam threw his butt in the can

The  Rioteer



There was a rioteeering lady named Trixie,

Who with folks of her kind liked to mixy.

With bats and rocks she headed out,

To hit an officer in his snout.

She now does time in a jail cell in Dixie!

America the Great
Poisoning his body ever since she left;
right up close, yet a million miles away.
Meth-lab;
got rehab.
Wasting away in his jail cell,
he's straight to heaven, yet living in hell.
Right up close, yet a million miles away.
Knock on wood; hope he stays good.
In spite of strife, she took his life;
she was supposed to be his wife....

Fright
I sat down on my jail cell bed,my head was spinning i started to sweat!
The room was dim the was were cold.....
That's how the was told.....Smacked face first on the ground,body shaking there was no sound....
As i was lay on the floor,next thing i know they opened the door.....
rushing in,down on me i only seen what i wanted to see....
The room was dim the walls were cold,now that's how the story will be told!...

Realize
Who can i run to,who can i tell
I feel like i'm barred up in lonely jail cell

Where can i go,where can i run
I want to escape because this is not fun

Why do i try,why can't i quit
I'm addicted to your love and i can't get enough of it

Wonders of a soulless dreamer
Categorized by your heart

The morals of today's society at one rest stop
I must venture away from what is keeping me too close

To something but doesn't spiritually fulfills
My youth and my womanly growth...
