    Sunset

    The sun sets over the ocean 
    Blue
    Red
    Yellow 
    Orange 
    Purple 
    Like the paintbrush stroke from a master painter

     

    The sun sets over the ocean
    You can almost hear the hiss
    As the sun "touches" the water
    Upon the horizon 

     

    The sun sets over the ocean 
    The stars come out
    The moon rises
    Night has fallen

    Loving and hating

    I loved my Ex and I hate my ex.

    I love my step-mom and I hate my stepmom.

    I love my friends and I hate my Enemys.

    I love and hate the world.

    I love God.

    I hate the demons inside me.

    Life

    What is life all about

    Has anyone figured it out

    It seems to be a confusing mess

    Full of pain and distress

     

    I know

    I know

    I know

     

    Life is what we make of it

    Live it full

    Don't run away from it

    Travel your path

    Learn along the way

    Learn all you can

    Until your dying day

    MOURNING IN AMERICA

    We're mourning in America
    We have a right to grieve
    The level of his incompetence
    Is not to be believed
    We’re approaching four years in
    But what has he achieved?
    With a sense of permanence
    That sooner or later won’t leave

    We're mourning in America
    Because he’s so ill suited
    For the office that he holds
    I think he should be booted
    And I can’t help but lament the fact
    That our tax dollars have been looted
    When it comes to the pandemic
    The experts have been muted

    We're mourning in America
    Because we’re under a pall
    And his slow response to the Covid-19
    Is responsible most of all
    But he uses it as an excuse
    For the present economic stall
    And he’s in cahoots with those who say
    Where we go one go all

    We're mourning in America
    Take a look around
    Liste...

    LIL’ WAYNE

    Lil’ Wayne

    Has gone insane

    He’s backingTrump

    The black man’s bane

    I know Wayne’s not 

    A human being

    But I can’t believe

    What I’m seeing

     

    Lil’ Wayne

    Has gone mad

    He lost the street cred’

    That he had

    If it wasn’t so sick

    It would be sad

    To see him

    Reaching out for dad

     

    Lil’ Wayne

    Just ain’t the same

    And I don’t know

    Who’s to blame

    He backs Trump

    Please explain

    Hasn’t he caused us

    Enough pain?

     

    Lil’ Wayne

    All up in the frame

    Smiling with Trump

    Like it’s a game

    What it is

    Is a crying shame

    Guess that’s the price

    He’s pays fo...

    I’M QUARANTINED

    I’m quarantined 

    Time passes slow

    And I’m running 

    Out of dough

    How far does a dollar go?

    What the future holds 

    I don’t know?

    Life’s become a real shit show

     

    I’m quarantined

    Can’t leave my house

    I’m keeping company

    With a mouse

    I’m about to get

    Myself soused

    If God willing 

    I can stay housed

     

    Thousands share 

    My sentiment

    I can’t pay my

    Monthly rent

    And my landlord

    Seems hell-bent

    In kicking me out

    He’s thatl intent

     

    I don’t bother

    Getting dressed

    Speaking truthfully 

    I’m too depressed

    And I don’t have

    A job no less

    But that you might...

    Blue Tits

    Blue tits chirping
    Fluttering so, yellow and blue
    Talk to me
    With your bird coo
    Morning garden
    Crisp, and blue
    Talk to me
    Blue tit
    Please do.
