# 1 Daddy's Girl

i used to feel like an angel
 held high in daddy's arms
i do recall i had it all
summer picnics by the lake 
vacation trips, amusement parks, 
picture perfect moments that high 
had to crumble, had to fall 
sifting through emotions for 
when momma went AWOL

justify your reason for bearing me at all
lest you know the secret that dragged me on this far
won't you notice just this once?
are we through getting through?
can't be your suffering child no more
here's my wakeup call
can't reach the threshold without a gauge
can't force reactions to pour my rage
you keep searching happiness in strangers' company
you're an absentee landlord
you don't bother making housecalls

keep speeding up my growth
I swear I don't feel like a teen
I'm wiser than you think I show
if we have a talk you'll surely know
you're happy with my anecdotes
you ask me to be brief

I fill a book in silence for every page I speak
what's left in life for you to teach?
when a lesser me is more than you bother to reach?
you got no care for you or me
aren't you sick of being my enemy? c

can't be your suffering child no more
here's my wakeup call
can't reach the threshold without a gauge
can't force reactions to pour my rage
you keep searching happiness in strangers' company
you're an absentee landlord
you don't bother making housecalls

# 4 God, Country, Family?

God, Country, or Family? choose one out of three put your gun where you mouth is now what will it be? war is upon us using either or all three with just one God for all who pray does he ever hear what our enemies say? does he split our loyalties on fair market value for skin, religion, culture, what have you? or turn a deaf ear to the enemy's prayer? with country i don't get to reason why i'm only asked to do or die go police the world for democracy says a bundle of lies and hypocrisy i do unto others as they do unto me is it really God's country striking preemptively? aren't God and country to protect me? with family it's not a choice really what good is victory if i can't share with kin? what good is freedom when i'm left free with no one? i'll die for my country for true sanctity not to run the universe or an SUV dissent and discourse are part of the carnage one of the many in collateral damage with hundreds comin...
