Read My Memories
I have been to jail
And I have been to prison
Read my memories
I did not have enough cash
To buy myself true justice

If river levels
Were low as they are today
Huckleberry Finn
Would probably have hitchhiked
To reach his destination

How would this world be
If I were a holy man
You powers that be
Believe you are all mighty
Maybe one day you will be

Everyone has faith
In one thing or another
Where do you place yours
Do you place it in a God
Or in riches of this world

Some People Are Wrong
Some people are wrong
I think Christina is hot
She is so gorgeous
Full figured women are great
More cushion for the pushin

I have grown lazy
Could it be that I'm starving
With no food in sight
I don't even have the strength
To write a decent poem

Oh keep your rainbows
Give me a verdant valley
With soft rolling hills
And I will be in heaven
For as long as I shall live

I walked with God once
'Twas long ago though as if
It were yesterday
I tried to run far from him
But he was always close by

Will there come a day
When I can look back at this
Writing what I feel
Whatever will be and say
Whoops didn't I tell you so

Yet The Rich Man Kills Many
One man kills one man
Yet the rich man kills many
By making them poor
Robbing them of their savings
Driving them to suicide
