You go on a cruise with monsters with rabies
Ride a giant squid while you eat toxic gravy
Jump off a cliff maybe twice or three times
Then do it again or take a skydive.
Wrestle a tiger, have lunch with a bear
Sleep with black widows if you should dare
Climb Everest to the top and jump right on off
But to stay alive don’t ever take a kids lollipop.

Sweet little birds chirp in the breeze
But on the other side they die as they freeze
Pretty little flowers grow as colors burst
But on the other side their dying from thirst.
Lovely little children play in the spring
But on the other side they die from killings
So next time your out having much fun,
think what the other side’s done with your fun.

Have you ever given thought to God’s keys of light?
That once your key is turned, you die in plain sight.
Have you ever given thought to how kids come to life?
They’re created by each of God’s little keys of light.
Whenever you think that you’re out of sight,
remember God can see you from your Key of Light.

you can see them dance and swing.

Birds build nests where they make new lives.
Trees make the earth neat.
Trees give me fruits to eat.
I sit under the tree and read many books and dream.
At night millions of stars are in view under a nice shady tree.
Trees are fun when you tie a swing up.
You smell fresh air when you build a treehouse up.
Trees are the heroes around me.
Trees are the real heroes around the world.

A small little space where the walls all close in
Silent but deadly; far from heaven.
Where all life goes mad or dies or gets crippled
Up in the house of old man Knittle,
Deep down inside lays a place with no light
Where every little soul dies more each night.
Go if you dare but don’t expect to come back
Cause once you come in
There’ll be shrivels up your back.

Sally Lou claims she saw a large pie,
Lenny said he found 10,000 dimes.
Lola says she found a green four leaf clover
Kenny brags that the president came on over!
Callie said she cleaned an elf that got dirty,
Sally embarked on a world touring journey.
When I asked “When did these crazy things all take place?”
They said between 9 pm and the mournin’

Summertime
The best time of year
Sometimes you
Can even see deer
When you feel the heat
Start barbecuing meat
In summer you don’t have to be clean
And try not to be mean
Oh summertime
You don’t have school
And it’s time to
Jump into the pool
Because it’s summer!

When you look into my eyes, you don’t see me. You see my clothes, my skin and my hair. Why does it matter what I wear? You may not know this about me but the inside is pretty but you can’t see that because you’re so caught up on how I look when my name is unknown to you. You already gathered your own perception out of ignorance, hate, and aggression before you have even given me a chance to make a valid impression and you’re missing out on who I am!

I AM BLACK. I AM STRONG. I AM INTELLIGENT. I AM FEARLESS. .. I AM ME!!!!
