2 thousan six

A state of the union poem for the new year...
2 thousan six

looks like we start this year at war

hurts me to the core..

babies dyin, mothers cryin

what for?!

2 thousan six

looks like we start this year upset

our phones are tapped

our pays been capped

our heads been slapped

nobody lissnin to our rap

this shit is off the map!

2 thousan six

looks like we start this year flat broke

gas is high, food is too

old folks dat needs perscription drugs

all wondren what day gonna do

scared day gonna catch bird flu

up through da holes

in day shoe

2 thousan six

looks like we start this year in fear

false prophets preachin that

the end times is near

the pews are full, the message clear

collection plates are full

so too the pastor's pockets

as they ducks out in the rear

2 thousan six

looks like we start this year perplexed

did we evolve from monkeys?

is there truth in Bible text?

does life exist beyond the stars?

do pregnant women have a choice?

can marriage be same sex?

2 thousan six

looks like we start this year at war

hurts me to the core..

babies dyin, mothers cryin

what for?!

And me,… well…

I'm just a poet keeping score
