Is Monday a good day
to lie to Me?
Or can You wait
’til Tuesday?
I think it’s better
that way
‘Cause I don’t want to
act the way I do on Sunday

STROKE is an Emergency!
Stubborn Little Girl
Stubborn little girl
Why are your hands in curls
Did you get into a fight today
Did your mommy take your pain away?
You look so cute
In your navy blue suit
How many times did you cry
Before you told another lie?
Can you wait for church on Sunday
Or can you make today your fun day?
Somebody cleans you up so well
It’s just so hard to tell
You see shadows without darkness
And speak to them through harkness
What joy is make-believe
When they won’t let you grieve
Stubborn little girl
Like Somebody Other Than Myself
Six pills left
Until I see him next
I wish I didn’t have to
I hope I get lost this time
Standing there
Before the crowd
It’s just me
But there’s somebody else
they wish to see
Will I say the right thing
Will I talk like I can sing
Will my hands and legs move and grove
So they can’t tell I can soothe
But I can’t do anymore
Than my body is alive for
I can’t be anything or anybody else
Like somebody other than myself
Playing this game
Just a symptom before a name
How do I let my real feelings show
Keep ‘em guessing or throw a blow
Seeking my end result
Though speaking to the leader of a cult
No generic for me
Need a taste of false reality
And when I go to cash them in
Shopping spree I’m ready to spend
A mental life lets it begin
Soon the bank will be my best friend
Major Mental Crime
Uneven little boys
and their uneven little toys
battle every day
every night to keep the bad men away
Determined to get their share
While somewhat playing fair
Basking in the sun
are the pure like a Nun
Quenching their cool thirst
‘til the moon rises from the dust
Other toys fascinate the brothers
seeking respect from their lovers
Even with ammunition
still arouses demolition
The playing field is uneven
for the uneven little boys
Though adding machines make some mean
storing wealth unseen but green
On white paper
one becomes the star caper
All Robbing Hoods
for self-fulfilled goods
Lonely at the top befalls the mighty
who has no one left to congratulate him rightly
One shot to make it
If you’re lucky, one shot to take it
All Men Are Created Equal
Whereas documentation warrants a sequel
honoring a cast minus any equally equal
The sun catches the light
and the moon holds hostage
the soul in plight
Patting pockets so heavy and packed
Boastful are those screaming to be jacked
Unevenly unequally little boys
Along with their uneven little toys
can never grow
when their growth counts down below
