My God this album is amazing! American Dream by LCD Sound System.
I just think it is so mature and deep. There are so many long albums of the last
20 years or so that are too long. But I feel with James Murphy's songs and
arrangements the length is necessary because his songs breathe. 

Some people are poison

Some people are poison.
You think it's you,
But it's really them.
There's no need to pretend.

Some people are poison.
They get inside you,
Till you can't breathe.
And parting is such relief!

Some people are poison.
If they are really your friends,
You will know. They'll be there with you
For every ebb and flow.

Some people are poison.
Throw them up.
Spit them out.
When they are gone,
Scream and shout!

For Sheena Weasel

She is an unsung hero.
She is the warrior princess.
She never causes me distress.
Because she always makes me feel blessed.

Sheena is a goddess and a beauty.
She knows her duty.
She keeps it together.
In all kinds of weather.

She has so much heart.
She is whip smart.
She always makes me feel she cares.
Even when I only have blank stares.

Sheena is the best of the best.
Even when she gets cross,
I know all is not lost.
Sheena is the real deal.

Sheena Sheena Sheena.
Bet you wish you seen her.
She is the heart and the soul.
She rarely loses control.

Sheena this poem is long overdue.
If I am paper you are glue.
Thank you for brightening my day.
Thank you for always having the right things to say.

I am appalled at the mass shooting in Florida

I am appalled at the mass shooting in Florida.
How does a teenager obtain a weapon and it's cool?
So we are supposed to accept gun violence.
Thank God the 'criminals' do not have the upper hand.

I can't be numb to it all.
Although it happens all the time.
Some sick fuck guns down a bunch of innocent people.
But still there are laws in place to make sure the 'criminals'
Do not have the upper hand.

I am not against the Constitution.
But aren't there some folks who probably should not have a gun.
There must be something that prevails.
That is decent and sensible.
I'm so pissed off right now.

 All good intentions(haiku)

All good intentions
Become mired in status quo.
There is no progress.

 Everybody has an arc

Everybody has an arc;
Everybody has a spark.
Everybody moves from sperm and egg,
To a creature with arms and legs.

You might be a famous movie star.
You might not know who you are.
You might be a serial killer.
You might be the thrilla from manilla.

Everybody has an arc.
Sometimes light, sometimes dark.
You have a purpose whether you know it or not.
We all have a purpose.

Always be grateful

Always be grateful.
That is all you need to know.
Always be grateful.
