Born free
Yet ever in chains
The more I struggle
The tighter the reins
Indoctrination
To control my brains
Give me poison
To corrupt my veins
When I work
Taxes steal the gains
And when I die
They’ll just burn the remains
Born free
Yet ever in chains
The more I struggle
The tighter the reins
Indoctrination
To control my brains
Give me poison
To corrupt my veins
When I work
Taxes steal the gains
And when I die
They’ll just burn the remains
I knew this day would come
A woman you’ve become
So beautiful and wise
Love and life full your eyes
Once a little baby
Now a pretty lady
I cannot keep you here
Although I want you near
You are your own person
Your story’s your version
So write it loud and bold
It deserves to be told
Let the world know my girl
A bright and shiny Pearl
How heavy is that gold?
That hangs around your neck.
Was it your soul you sold?
Were you paid in a check?
What do you pay for friends?
How popular are they?
Means justified by ends.
They always get their way.
Love is bought and paid for.
How much do you require?
For attention you whore.
Your conscience is for hire.
You sought fame and fortune.
Swallowed the things you crave.
But it’s all a burden.
You’re nothing but a slave.
In a time of so much trouble and fear
Filled with angry shouts and constant curses
Disease and war threaten the end is near
And we’re all against such evil forces
You shine so brightly and give me much hope
Blooming in winter to bring the world cheer
A glowing light in dark to help me cope
Filled with warmth and love and everything dear
Call loudly from the mountain too you climbed
Unfurl your flag, may it be seen by all
Onto this epic adventure you’ve signed
You’ve heard glory’s song and answered it’s call
Watching you go, heart could not be prouder
Who you are and who you’ll be, my daughter

Time to start promoting my work again. It’s been a nice break but I’m eager to write some more. Until I have a new work out, here’s the first one ever!
Little puppy
Why are you sleepy?
You just woke up this morning
Hopping around
My bed so early
Now on the couch you’re curling?
What’s your plan
This bright warm day?
On the soft blanket you’ll stay
Have you goals?
What’s their end?
Just to be my bestest friend?
You’re very lazy
But if I’m honest
I’m actually just jealous
Happy birthday!
Let’s celebrate!
Let’s have a party
And eat up hearty
Friends over to play
To enjoy the day
Laughs shared together
Times we remember
And of course some gifts
Selected from lists
But none of that shows
What all of us knows
That you’re meant to be
In this family
Our funny brother
We’re all together
So keep having fun
My smart, loving, son
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!
Go get all your dreams!
Though just in your teens.
A leader on teams.
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!
Go be who you’ll be!
A ship on the seas.
Soaring on the breeze.
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!
Go take up the fight!
Deep into the night.
Take what’s yours by right.
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!
Go be a princess!
Her royal highness.
In a stunning dress.
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!
Go show the haters!
The ugly traitors
That you are greater.
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!
Go and be yourself!
That is just enough.
Enough for my love.
Your mark!
Get set!
Go!!!

Thinking you know
Putting up a show
While doing nothing to change
Not a single person saved
Expert on taxes, politics, race
From your phone, your safe space
Click, click, click
Post, post, post
So damn naive
You say you believe
In whatever is popular
The causes of the stars
And memes form your thoughts
Just a bunch of living bots
