The respect of children
Oh Mother, Father,
someday I’ll be all grown up,
but remain your child.
Oh Mother, Father,
someday I’ll be all grown up,
but remain your child.
My daughter, my son,
someday I will be gone, but
you must remain strong.
When we hit bottom,
we’re looking for someone to
make it all OK.
I was desperate.
I trusted you with my heart.
All I got was pain.
Our dragons are real;
they are born from our fears, and
they’re slain by our faith.
City of Angels
with a bad reputation
and a heart of gold.
A den of lions…
Who the heck am I kidding –
scum-sucking maggots.
Fruity old city,
you know how to decorate
all the boring squares.
Oft loved by lovers,
an unsurprising landmark –
phallic centerpiece.
A city rebuilt,
the fire of their bombs only
seemed to temper it.
