You've been reincarnated---
Hindu to Baptist.

You call your best friend
"Moron" and a "loser" too.
He never calls you.

Red

There was a young sailor named Red.
He was blue and it could not be shed.
His commander named White--
He was green and not bright.
He made Red's hair turn gray on his head.

Kane

There once was an old man called Kane.
He'd get mad and always complain.
And his grandkids weren't shy;
Said he wasn't so spry.
They'd mock him and walk with his cane.

You're a wad of cash.
You're spent; you came here for fun.
But stars don't see fans.

Figurines

They dribble, act, and play guitar---they are our figurines.
We paid for them and made them stars to do with as we please.
And when we shoot them, we picture perfect scenes.
We hardly knew them, and that puts us at ease.

We take them out---it's time to play!
They must agree with all we say,
But if they don't, we make them pay.
And when they break, they're put away.

Labor Day

It is Labor Day.
And you have the whole day off---
To do chores at home.

Slave Trade

We learned lots of skills.
That’s why it’s called the slave trade.
DeSantis said so.
Get raped and tortured for free—
Learn justice does not exist.
