We believe music can be the carrot to help teach men and women about responsible parenting, budgeting and living.

The choice of yours
Wire hangars
Plastic dreams
Hanging by a thread
of democracy
Choose
Your choice
With Proverbs
Or the
Pigeons and Yellowjackets
And eventually
Self evidently
We the people
Who carry the torch of
All humanity
may wither
Into
and become
dogs and cats
being eaten
and engulfed
By nothingness.

Black and Blue
Blue is a color
Black and blue is a feeling
What I see
What I’m hearing
From the body
And night hawk
ci******es
cars
Blue is a color
Black and blue is a feeling
What I see
What I’m hearing
From the body
And night hawk
ci******es
cars
Behind bars
And they wonder why I flee
On foot
You doing too much!
Dodging tasers
Like it’s laser tag
Knowing it’s my turn
And I ain’t trying to be it
Eyes wide shut
You see the
Tube in my throat
Emmit Till
I can’t even spit
You right
So white
Black and
blue
From
blue on black
Behind bars
And they wonder why I flee
On foot
You doing too much!
Dodging tasers
Like it’s laser tag
Knowing it’s my turn
And I ain’t trying to be it
Eyes wide shut
You see the
Tube in my throat
Emmit Till
I can’t even spit
You right
So white
Black and
Blue
Is not
Black on Black
