Bail me out

turning around I can’t help but think about what I found and how I traveled the world searching for a town
where I could be myself and help spread the wealth where poverty becomes a dream that’s played in old movie scenes
where do i come up with this

some say i opened my mouth
and god came through
some say i started writing
and my hands were being
guided by satan
whatever you believe in
it doesn’t matter

and once you hear them

can we get a shout out for the messiahs
giving their lives and still being called pariahs

#NaPoWriMo Day 28: blank

an animal is an animal
and the earth is the earth
nobody complains when they’re
doing their work
but when I do this instead of that

you can leave and I’ll be fine
sitting in my sunshine
when you commit fraud
you have to pay the fine
it might seem like a good idea at the time
but can you wear that mask for a lifetime
