TRUMP SMIRKS CARNEY WORKS
CARNEY WILL NOT DEAL WITH JERKS
AND TRUMP IT DOES IRKS
good conscience smirks~
veiled beneath the weight of pride
truth unmasks my lies
silly sequoia smirks
gulping lusty lurch
bounty breeze bears
callous crest's peer :
haughty hankering hoists
felon fate's foiled
busty bellow blush
under taunted touch
airy atmosphere crush
dark dances drool
moaning melody brood
pulsing punctured pool
sequoia helpless be
feelings spell grip.

taunted trees drunk
fostered felon gulp
bounty breeze served
leering lusty lurch
saucy summer tossed
per punctured pores
pruning pulpy puke
altering vying view
dark dances drew
nosy nature smirks
moaning mockery's verge
dainty drips athirst
same mystic malady
belching feelings breed.

You are incompetent she said
Not with words
With looks, smirks mostly
I feel this now
Begin my countdown
Making my escape
From a place
I no longer belong.
Think I've figured out people with all their quirks
Not to say I'm immune from how this strange world works
Actually, I'm a prime example
Of common sense, made a shamble
Why can't we all go through life with dirty big smirks
Think I've figured out people with all their quirks
Not to say I'm immune from how this strange world works
Actually, I'm a prime example
Of common sense, made a shamble
Why can't we all go through each day with dirty big smirks
A man of stature, although not tall
the measure of his heart tops them all.
For he's a loving soul full of cheer
cherished by his friends who hold him dear.
A crop of hair that defies good taste
flows from his head and into his face.
And his motto is live for today
don't let tomorrow get in your way.
A disciplined knight of martial-arts
he searches for love in empty hearts.
His nightmares connect riptides and breath,
recalling the time he cheated death.
Mixing music, he dreams he can win,
dedicated to the art of spin.
And all his money gets spent in haste
he lives in the now no time to waste.
Stubborn to a fault, he'll stick like glue,
but no one's fool; he sorts false from true.
And his eyes can melt the toughest heart
until all resistance falls apart.
A boy, a man, trying to do right,
he spins in clubs and dances all night.
And being his friend is filled with perks,
like his shy smiles and mischievous smirks.

Smirk of deceit upon your face
No use, cannot keep up at your pace
My toe's stuck in the drain of the past
Such an insalubrious amount of speed
Impossible to meet the future going that fast
Insane, but what's the need
We'll never meet eye to eye
Your's look to the sky
And mine lay dry & lifeless on the ground
Blood on your hands, see what you really found
Fingers--tipless
Eyes cry, confusion, lipless
You're not making any sense
Ears fall off, just can't hear it anymore
Hair falling out, blame me, stressed & tense
I'll not be in your way any longer, you'll find me face down by the shore
