You call, but the water drops behind me are crying too loud for me to hear
Water drips down my body as I peek watching you call for the first time in my register but in your register the third
I switch off the water to answer your call that has no connection
Aii, I finish up get dry and call again in my room but no connection again
You call to ask if we chilling I said yes, you tell me "cool I'm coming to bye"
In a cracky voice I ask "forever", you say yeah, with tears hiding in my eyelids I say "okay"
I sign you in, not with an excited heart this but a heart filled with sadness
The elevator ride makes me even more sad, because you extend your care by asking "if I'm okay?" and I lie "yeah", not wanting you see the drip coming from my heart
Time to say bye
You greet the rest hand-shaking, fist-pumping, while you do that I wonder around with a sad face not so ready to say bye
My turn, oh no, I don't want to...
I'm expecting a fist pump, but instead I receive a warm tight hug from you
You hugged me so tight, whispering in my ear "don't miss me too much"
Oh my, I can still feel your breath echoing in my ear...
And little did I know that this hug would be our last..

I choose
AII of you people
To be my friends
AIso we have a lot
In common
I am a Christian
And you people
Are also Christians
From birth
To adult life
Also people I am
God's poet
And you people are
AIso a poet
I go to bed early every
Single night
And you people
Also go to bed early
The next day I wake up at
11:00 am
All of you people
AII of you people
Also woke up
At 11:00 am
AIso I have my shower
First thing in the morning
I put some body wash
In my sponge
Then I rub my sponge
All over my body
Now all I have to do
Is rinse the body wash that is in
My body
When I finished my shower
I turn my shower of
Then I also dry my body
With a bath towel
Now is time for me
To shave my face with the
Electric shaver
Now I will get dress
Into my casual clothes
All of you people also
Have shower first thing in the morning
You turn you shower on
Then you go into the shower
You put the body wash
In the sponge
Now you rub the sponge
All over you body
Then when it is finished
You rinse the body wash
Now is time to turn the shower of
Now you need to dry you body
With a bath towel
Then you all will shave
With the electric shaver
Finally it is now time for you
All to get dress
Into your casual clothes
AII of you people buy only second
Hand clothes
And you people can't afford
To buy designers clothes
Because they are very expensive
And you wear three times
The designer clothes
Then after you wash it
You put it in the dryer
But when you remove out
Of the dryer
They look like hell
AII of you people
Pray every night
For my Father
That had made you
With his holy hands
I also pray for my Father
Every single night

Let's label him a hypocrite
See his forebears were poor as ****
That's what I.find so hard to get
Cuz' it's perverse you must admit
He only wants those not in need
To come to America to succeed
He's fully prepared to watch others bleed
Rather than to allow them to be freed

He's the acting czar of immigrants
Who Trump installed to not relent
He in fact, seems quite hellbent
To give them all a great big hint
We're not the nation that they thought
Or the myth they might have bought
They can cross our border
Just don't get caught

He climbed the ladder of success
And has achieved it nonetheless
As an acolyte if I had to guess
Or a sychophant at his very best
He came inside then closed the door
On others who also want more
It's clear he's rotten to the core
Is it necessary for me to say more?

He echoes Trump's callousness
Like a doppelganger, but nonetheless
I guess you could call him one hot mess
Because obviously it's no contest
He'll continue to give 'em hell
It's clear to me he doesn't mean them well
See he's not a man he's just a shell
And the whole wide-world can tell

Tell me if this is love or hate
That you are feeling against God
I don't understand you at
AII
How can you hate God
After all he gave you
He gave you love
Can you understand that
He gave you
Plenty of love
Without you even asking for it
AIso it was God that made
You
In his image
And he gave you life
You can't live without life
Because also life is precious
You are not looking after you
Life
You are a chain smoker
Too bad
AIso you are ruining your
Lungs
You are going to end up with
Lung cancer
Is that what you really want?
You better think it over
It would be the smartest thing
To quit smoking
You are also wasting your
Money buying cigarettes

Somewhere in time
I need to make
More friends
Because I only have
Few friends
And the friends I have
Got some respect for me
They respect my race
And my religion
Also, I respect my friends
Race and religion
Somewhere in time
My friends are praying for God
And God answer my friend's
Prayer
Somewhere in time
My friends are praying for the
Countries
That are in war
For them to have some peace
We don't know when the war will
End overseas
AII we know is that there are
Children
Dying of mall nutrition
And that is terrible to see
Because the children are very small
And they can't communicate
Their parents are crying
Also
Somebody will have to burry
The dead people
Every single day
Also they don't have clean
Water
And some medical supply
They throw grenades at their
Neighbors
AIso they haven't got any
Food supply
My friends and I are very lucky
To live
In a country that is not
At war
The people that are
Fighting in the war will never
Return home
