HOPE
When in a night so dark, scary and lonely, With your heart so burdened and uptight, When your claim, ' small me - big God,' makes you feel like your prayers are nothing more than an ant's whispers in an elephant's ear - useless.

There's so many uptight people these days The world is literally overflowing What's happened to those glorious days of yore Civility was all that was showing Maybe I'm dreaming, and things haven't changed Technology has changed you and I What once took a week for a letter to reach us Arrives now in the blink of an eye Most older folks talk of...

DRUGS ARE ALWAYS BAD & THE BLESSED...

The Uptight American: Part I
most will blame the uptight american anus (oops, did i say “anus?”) on the fact that the empire was formed by rich white puritans who were scared of their own *****es & ******s so much that they hoped their “god” would have created them without such horrid raging beasts between their legs--- so the story goes, americans still rule the world...
