The world needs to find peace and freedom from propaganda, greedy men and fear mongers. When will we learn that the pen is mightier than the sword?


Poem Artwork

Smash Up Derby

I’ve seen those pictures of skin and bones babies,
Who never got a mouthful of more than just maybes.
Never had a tummy full of Gerber’s or Heinz,
Living’s kind of tough behind the enemy lines.

Warthog flying low half a mile ahead,
Shooting bullets at the road and a hundred more are dead.
Crash, bang, smash ‘em up save the U.S.A.
Back in Carolina it’s smash up derby day.

Kill a Chevrolet.

I’ve read about really bad people doing fine,
Selling drugs and guns and they would kill you for a line.
Rich men grabbing more money all the time,
Watching people on the street getting by without a dime.

Rapper man flying high fifty yards ahead
Shooting bullets at a Caddie and another man is dead.
Crash, bang, smash ‘em up, see violence and crime
Back in Carolina it’s smash up derby time.

Kill them in their prime.
