or were you sometimes held up.
o Earth Angels
how you suffer for your sanity
inside your dancing shoes

all cultures fear too much
momma Angels

SWAT!!!
BLATTT
the Walls et al Tycoons
legally or not
stole away
what he had earned
Marco comes tumbling down the hill
if what he does now is illegal
or immoral?
He uses some of the loopholes
the Walls et al Tycoons used
to keep from falling all the way
down to the bottom
and though he admires the many
surviving at […]

no fuse can light
when surrendering
to everything
no tear can dry
human slaughtering
never ending
crack a whip
on a dying bed
Why - GG, why?

i remember they were promised
promised to go to the holy land
if only they’d stop fighting
especially fighting over “the holy land”

someone starts singing Amazing Grace

when the Saints come marchin’ in
they ain’t got no use for
bones dem bones
having been to the mountain and
beyond

With attitudee so high
and hope so low
why […]
