1st: A human b works hard to teach love his enemy. To help unite all mankind free, or that being yet human; so go the second mile, hold the other cheek brave, not meek! For we're All-One! Exceptions eternally none! ABSOLUTE NONE!
Blue denim overalls
Go Bernie.
Ya Deadheads were always the superior race Need none, GIMME SOME.
Thy kingdom come.
No fame here, come-on take a breather Same foot as your candelabra
Love a young anarchist
Aesthetics, the human condition in a time of plead Oh Glory, take me home
A Geranium to keep me warm
No toilet barriers Just condoms used as pillows Duct tape on That mouth of his, I sit on you.
I won't stare at you Jesus
Let's walk this fine pagan line
I'm stable, I really am
Wine please? "But there are no blankets"
I was feral even with a fur
Dirty even in YSL, Margiela banana
Let's commune on this thought
Harmony in the sewer, you food color swine
Mystic Mama, up yours, yo mamma
Ticky tacky, sneaky deaky.
They came a rescue so dramatic it was worthy of a Hollywood movie, the YPG and YPJ militias,
without heavy weapons or air cover
