Flippin'

Flippin’

 

There’s a new game in town,

If you don’t want to go down,

It’s called flippin’.

Those Trump codefendants,

Who are shitting their pants,

They are flippin’.

There’s Kenny, and Jenna,

And Sydney’s there too,

See them flippin’.

Oh yes, Donny it’s true,

They are turning on you,

They are flippin’.

 

They are telling their tales,

Just like coffin nails,

You find yourself being boxed in.

Your excuses gone stale,

Just another Trump fail,

Can I visit the room you’ll be locked in?

 

Your mean Kraken team,

Just some coked-up dream,

They are flippin’.

“Stand back and stand by”

Hey there loser guy,

Are you trippin’?

 Just in how many cases

Will your thugs slip their traces?

They are flippin’.

You thought they were fools,

See you taken to school,

By their flippin’.

 

They are telling their tales,

Just like coffin nails,

You find yourself being boxed in.

Your excuses gone stale,

Just another Trump fail,

Can I visit the room you’ll be locked in?

 

You can’t escape now,

Boy, you fucked up and how,

Hear them flippin’.

They are flippin’

See your sweat drippin’,

They keep flippin’

So much flippin’

Why you trippin’?

One Thousand Horsemen

By Cliff Lake
  One Thousand Horsemen   The call of an ally, A friend of old: “We ask your aid! Will you be bold?”   “Ancient terrors, Assail once more! Will you honor The oaths we swore?”   One thousand horsemen answer the call,   One thousand horsemen riding tall. One thousand horsemen, they prepare. One thousand horsemen, forth they fare.   “We have no word, Are we not heard? Are we forgot? Do you come not?”   “The terror hails, Our people quail! We are beset, Will you come yet?”   One thousand horsemen upon the hill, One thousand horsemen, duty they fill. One thousand horsemen make the climb. One thousand horsemen, are they in time?   “What do we hear? Is succor near? Have you arrived? Will we survive?”   “Hail faithful friend! Fear not an end! Our hope has come, Sound the war drum!”   One thousand horsemen, banners raised! One thousand horsemen, unafraid! ...

The Edge

By Cliff Lake
  The Edge   Out on the edge… This is where we exist, A precipice, A future unseen and unknowable, An edge we constantly walk. Here on the edge, We step forward blindly, Though we tell ourselves That we have planned well, But the future, Has no regard, For the mere mortal. Walking the edge, We may not see, What falls lie before us, What chasms may claim us, Nor how deeply they lurk. But know this: We have the strength, To climb out of darkness, If we but dare the edge again. Fear not brother! You are your own savior, If you but make the merest try. Do not despair sister! The unlooked-for hand, Will reach for you yet! Remember: From the bottom, The only way is up. Forward is the only motion, Time is allowed, In this frame we inhabit. It is the step to the side, That carries you down, Out here on the edge…   Straight ahead then - The path is before you.   Cliff Lake 2/24/2024 Copyrigh...

Used Up 'n Dried Up

By Cliff Lake
  Used Up ‘n Dried Up   You scurried away from your ancestral home, Let’s face it boy, you’re out there on loan. Your markers cashed in, no more favors to call, Winds of change blowing cold, house of cards to fall. Livin’ in a hotel, bumming dollars from the poor, Sellin’ your Chinese trinkets, maybe try it door to door. Your hands in everyone’s pockets, no more spare change for you, Keep on beggin’ at the dockets, that is what’s left to do.   “You’re on your own, kid.” That’s what they said. “You’re used up ‘n dried up; you’re bled.” “You’re out on the street, you’ve used up your cred.” “You’re on your own, kid.” That’s what I said.   Oh, how you fell hard for that dictator, A long-time, well-known master baiter. He always had you pegged as some petty clown, Just look at how he has jerked you around.   “You’re on your own, kid.” That’s what he said. “You’re used up ‘n dried up; you’re bled.” “Look at this crooked path t...
