NEW WAVE ASCENDS
NEW WAVE ASCENDS Workers waul at leaders sold who rush to airports cold in hospitals wan women wallow tattered children nothing to swallow ideals trickling through untilled soil will dreams and intentions expire before patient arthritic grandmothers tire softly rain filters Earth’s corners nourishing hills, herbs and mourners life follows death singing afresh surely New Wave ascends roaring freedom showers...

Fell Asleep
Many fell asleep. They slept while many were killed in factories of death. This allowed for others to take over all of the land. The system was working, and many worked to death, leaving no time to love and rest. They fell asleep, under the plan to kill and replace all they can. They wanted to...

Premium Member Sex for money
“Ready to do anything I ask?” She says, “For cash, give me any task.” “So, lie there in your best pose.” “With or without any clothes?” “Honey, Angel! What do you suppose?” They don't even know one another, two p-rn stars making love to each other. One gives the other a pat, the other gives tit for tat. One is just a daughter ~...

The Velvet Life
Oh, my love, your intoxicating eyes, Like lotus flowers, your lips, a treasure to the skies. Your waist, a velvet lotus, your voice, a cuckoo's call, Leaves me breathless, and in heaven's thrall. Show me your mercy, give me your soul, Take me away from Satan's door, make me whole. Oh, my love, my goddess, my peace, my heart, Return to me,...

Forro Forro
She loved the fact that she could use her beauty to unleash her objectives and goales upon men who wished to be freind or kind to her. She flirted with my wife and ignored me. I felt uncomfortable.

Yearning To Breathe
We are the workers of this nation, making less than it takes to survive. We are the farmer in the cornfield, the cowboy out on a cattle drive. Factory drones at minimum wage, the waitress that’s making even less. We are all looking for that ladder, to help us out of this stinking mess. We are the colors of the spectrum, We’re more than...

Workers Wage
He remembers it before it arrives, To collect a far one hundred miles drives, To keep stalling payment his life deprives, Better he ended up in beehives… The end of every month full of meaning, It’s a female worker’s time for preening: In a sense, a life of subordination; No envying other’s ordination, Especially after allowances; Just watch out for Michael Jackson’s...
