Children and a wife.
Friends, family, Dope
As long as I have these things
I will never mope.
Longing to have things
Is fine, as long longing
Doesn’t bind, like strings.
As long as longing

Opinions confused,
The truth was out there, but the
Minions refused.
The truth was out there
I love Broadway musicals
CATS, Pippin and Hair.
Broadway musical!
I wanna sing, wanna dance
Something farcical!
I wanna wanna
Go deep down a coal mine shaft,
Like Lakawanna.
In a coal mine, Shaft
Arrested the drillers ‘cause
Of Black-face hate crime.
