From this day and forward I shall say whatever I damn well please. I am of an age as to where I am allowed an opinion and I'm allowed to say it. If I want to use the word "fuck" in a poem I shall and I will do so with ease. I will not, however, critique poems in a crass way but will be honest with you. I expect the same from you. If you can't handle it then don't read me please. From this day forward my decree is I give myself permission to write whatever I want in whatever form I want. I may rhyme, I may misSPELL. I May WrIte LiKe ThiS but probably not since it makes me insane. I will share my truths and my lies and it's up to you to decide if you like it or not. That is my decree.



This is my current favorite song.



I could make a dress

A robe fit for a prince

I could clothe a continent

But i can't sew a stitch



I can paint my face

And stand very very still

Its not very practical

But it still pays the bills



I can't change my name

But i could be your type

I can dance and win at games

Like backgammon and life



I used to be the smart one

Sharp as a tack

Funny how that skipping years ahead

Has held me back



I used to be the bright one

Top in my class

Funny what they give you when you

Just learn how to ask



I can write a song

But i cant sing in key

I can play piano

But i never learned to read



I can't trap a mouse

But i can pet a cat

No i'm really serious!

I'm really very good at that



I can't fix a car

But i can fix a flat

I could fix alot of things

But i'd rather not get into that



I used to be the bright one

Smart as a whip

Funny how you slip so far when

Teachers dont keep track of it



I used to be the tight one

The perfect fit

Funny how those compliments can

Make you feel so full of it



I can shuffle cut and deal

But i can't draw a hand

I can't draw a lot of things

I hope you understand

I'm not exceptionally shy

But i've never had a man

That i could look straight in the eye

And tell my secret plans



I can take a vow

And i can wear a ring

And i can make you promises but

They won't mean a thing



Can't you do it for me, i'll pay you well

Fuck i'll pay you anything if you could end this



Can't you just fix it for me, it's gone berserk...

Fuck i'll give you anything if

You can make the damn thing work



Can't you just fix it for me, ill pay you well,

Fuck ill pay you anything

If you can end this

Hello, i love you will you tell me your name?

Hello, i'm good for nothing - will you love me just the same?

~BRIGHT EYES LYRICS~

"When The President Talks To God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it
