Yet everything stays the same.
Corruption is not just a fallacy
No matter the party's name.

Remembering joys and heartaches
That we shared down through the years.

And when it comes to racist,
I have never been called that name.

Innocence

I will use the Word Of God to defend
Everything I say or write.
Others use political talking points
Issued by Washington day and night.

Bringing vicious acts to babies in wombs.
