DEMONS AND JOKERS

Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



 I need to be saved from  
Myself.
  My entire life has been a  
Living hell.

  My lifestyle,
Not good for my health.
  It's the only fucking
Thing that helps.

  Drinking, drugging, ended up  
Under lock and key.
  Incarcerated all the time,
Could not wait to be free.

  A lost cause for sure,  
No help for me.
  I'm damaged goods exposed,
For all to see.

  I lived my life running against
The wind.
  Tempting the hands of fate again
And again.

  I know the consequences to
My actions.
  I'm not lacking in any human
Compassion.

  A world full of humans,
No humanity.
  Spreading Racism and Hate
Behind Christianity.

Modern Christians are a
Threat to the nation.
  A New World Order,
Total domination.

  A thousand years, another
Place and time.
  Without demons and jokers,
It would have been fine.
