Journey Inside
For a second just breath
And open your mind
Too often we leave
Searching to find
So relax for a moment
Stop looking so hard
For what you seek
Is found were you are
The smile you want
Comes from within
And all life’s joy
Comes from that grin
The love you yearn
Comes first for yourself
A happy heart holds
A world of wealth
And for a lifetime forgive
All the troubles you had
Don’t forget
But don’t get mad
Speak not a lie
To the ones you love
Share a moment
With the ones you think of
And in the end
You+IBk-ll look back on life
You may not have won
But you played the game right

Rusty Boobs
By Randy Wilbourn Jr.

The rain hits the pavement like a thousand angels
A dark sky envelops the world in a coating of gray
A can of Rustolium sits on the side of the road,
Much like the discarded whores who perch along the roadside in the
emptiness of the night
Fast food fuel, and antacids.
Condoms.
Piss and Vomit.
Semen and gasoline.
It's still raining in Flinville.
There's still smoke in the air.
Cadillacs bleed oil like wounded deer
And the children play in the side streets, trying to avoid the cop cars
and death
Why is it so cold in the old folks home?
The dust, coats the sidewalks along with broken glass and shopping carts
left to die
The stop light sways in the breeze and the bass of an Impala, shakes the
world.
Bummm bummmm silence BHMM HMMMM. Stop.
Bummmm hmmmmm . . . mmmmmmm It pulls away.
Its dry. It's so hot. God don't have no patience.
