No heaven
When I was just eleven
I signed a contract with the devil
In blood
I would be for him his ****
My grave would be early dug
I could not ask for forgiveness of my sins
There was no meaning to the ends
No making a mends with the big man above
Could he still have some love
Always followed by two black crows never a white dove
The seediest of places I had my den
Living in the city of sin
Stripe clubs was my neighborhood pub
Anything other I would snub
*******
It really did not matter to me where I would dine
on my line
Ironic my favorite liquor was called Heaven Hill
used as a chaser after all the pills
Always in court one appeal after the other appeal
The Devil was always by my side and
would always make some kind of deal
Never going to jail
So never had to come up with bail
I know I ain't going to heaven
I sure will be going to hell
Want matter before I die
If I should  ask for forgiveness for all my sins
He kept me tied to his path
for him I could not fail
So
I will
See you all in
HELL

I write this respectfully,

As I have followed your (story) if you will
I  had to wonder where is the disconnect in
Church separated from State
I must say it was easy to detect
Your reason for refusing
Could it be? For what you think in the future what you
will collect
I have a feeling you knew what you were going to affect
I think you clearly have not read the Constitution because it clearly directs
That is something you may not reject
or disrespect
As I watched you with your so called fan mail, thinking how much could really be hate mail , at your kitchen table
I hope the letters were filled with words that would help you become more stable, not so unstable
Then maybe you can  stop some of the hatred that you have helped to enable
I was set back when I heard you are on your forth remarriage
From a lack of commitment?? Of your vows
They are not like throw away towels
Then when you were released from jail
Honey I think you forgot to wear your veil
Maybe then you would have been more hailed...(your thought)
Then when you and your political FRIENDS? ran upon the stage to eye of the tiger
The song is for a winner of a fight not for someone who caused a fight
out of sure spite
Then to hear you say all this was out of the highest respect to God
Ma'am in church and state there is no connect
Something I think you should have checked
With much respect

Sincerely,

Took my **** out
Decided to have a smoke
Come on over take a ****
Give me a shot gun
Let me get rid of the gum
Wow!! Are we going to have some fun
**** this **** is really good
Some awesome blending
The room is spinning
The high is beginning
I bet I am grinning
Not looking for an ending
Could we be sinning ?
Nah!!
I think we are winning
Pass it around
Loving all this sharing
Would you call it daring
This ****
Sure not full of seed
Believe me
This joint is so tight
Like sipping out of a straw
Drawl baby drawl
Not slowing down to a crawl
There is more where this came from
Not playing dumb
Until we go numb
Then we can say
We are true smokers
             !!

You slamming  the door and leaving me alone
20 years setting by the phone
Day after day
Thinking I heard it ring
Picking it up and hear nothing but a dial tone
Never leaving home
Did not know what it was like to use a comb
Never seeing my neighbors
The front porch filled with 20 years of papers
Living room filled with take out food boxes
Hearing nothing but the tick of all the clocks
Everyday hoping to hear some kind of door knocks
20 years setting playing with  building blocks
Stopped sleeping in our bed
The place we held divine  
Could not stand your body not being next to mine
20 years of me thinking about the times
that we  intertwined
when our life's aligned  
Been on a 20 year decline
20 years of being confined
Letting the bills go and always being behind
Who knew 20 years ago my life would unwind
20 years ago today
On this day
I can feel myself sleeping away
Trying to be brave

At the moment the phone
Rang
!!

Would really be nice if there was some
Abstaining !
Maybe some
Constraining !
If you only knew how
Draining!
I am really not
Attaining !
"Stop" with the
Explaining!
Sure the hell not
Entertaining!
Tired of it being so
Detaining!
Nothing
Gaining!
Not anything said that is
Containing!
Not worth all the
Campaigning!
So
Disclaiming!
All the
Proclaiming!
It's
Inflaming!
And all the
Blaming!
It continues
So shut the **** up
and stop THE
Complaining
         !!

When I was a teen
I ran into a pond hoping to
drown

When I was in my early teens
two men
nothing to say, but how mean
took something from me
youth and my virginity
not just once
what they did to me
without permission
i became their mission
keeping quiet and without
any admissions
about what they took from me
now older
i now have to deal
with the damage
they did mentally
i cut my wrist
not accidentally
took a hand full of pills
now thinking back
it gives me cold chills
what they took from me
no more
will i ever allow them
to try take my life
from me
no more hoping
to
drown
no more
will they take from me

Adam marries Eve
Now Adam can marry Steve
And
Eve marries Eve
"Reality"
We live to work
Instead of working to live
Seems to be contrived
As all our lives is on a down hill dive
Day to day trying to survive
I don't think that is called "Arrived"
"Reality"
Afraid to go to the theater
Might run into a hater
That will cause us to meet our creator
"Reality"
Sending our kids off to high school
And preschool
Not knowing if they will return
Is that what they were sent there to learn ??
"To never return"
It's a shame
But
"Reality"
The rich getting richer
The poor getting poorer
That we can ensure
Something we all will have to endure
Reality
War after war
Nation against nation
The fear of others reactions
Then sending our troops into action
Reality
Populations explode
Where water no longer flows
People leaving by the busloads
Watching our lands erode
Ah! the human coed
Reality
Global warming
All kinds of warnings
People misinforming
That should be informing
No reforming
Our world of
Reality!
"The world or the state of things as they actually exist"
