I wish you could know me in a prison cell
You'll think I'm a law abiding citizen, and kindhearted as well
and I wish you could know me in a funny farm
You'd think I'm sane, goodminded, and exceptionally normal
I wish you could know me in the ghetto
so you can see how well mannered and groomed I'am
In Zimbabwe you'll notice how much I eat, how much I get and how wealthy I'am
I wish you could know me when I'am in a crowd, and when I'm by myself
When I'm at home, with my parents, with my friends at school, or nowhere doing nothing at all,
whether you like me or not, you'd know who I'am
I wish you didnt know me at all
until I stand cleansed before God, and appear flawless
The Red Car
(parody of the red wheel barrow)
Nothing depends
upon
an old rusty
car
leaking gas
beside the high-rising
flames
Ode to the Mess
In it is what I've always needed
Whereas what I forgot was mine
It's where I always heave it
When it has no bearing and I lack the time
It has no shape or color
The trademark I shall pattent
Its mysteries have my favor
Some of it new, despite the mold and dents
Think of the potential value
Despite there discontent
Give time to the investment
Ode to the mess
The height of reputations clad
All they ever say
It looks bad
It's always in our way
Be slow to anger
It has no hate for you
In such a disabled state
It can't walk from under your shoe
It's most unique and
has a true identity
The longer it's there
The more accurate to depict me
When asked where my belonging is
My stance and proud creedence is
It's in the mess!
It never lets me down
It turns up either now
or the discrepency of the mess
It takes better care of my stuff than I
Ode to the mess!

Life's a joke
Join the chorus
Laugh histerically
I may respond
.but cannont answer
I have gone
as did my sanity
