Friday the 13th- In Memory of my Mother

HOME ON THE RANGE
Written April Friday the 13th, 2012 @ 13:13 P.M. in front of Liberty Tax, my current and soon to be, former employer.

HOME ON THE RANGE
IS THAT AN ORANGE
IN YOUR POCKET
OR ARE YOU
JUST HAPPY TO SEE ME

YOU SEE
MY DADDY
GOT SHOT BY
A 12 GAUGE
LEFT ME AND MOMMY
HOME ALONE ON THE RANGE

BUT THEN
SHE REMARRIED
WHICH I THOUGHT
WAS STRANGE

I COULDN'T COMPREHEND
THE HAPPENINGS
OR DOINGS
ON THE FOLLOWING DAYS

WHY DO YOU DRINK MOMMY?

DOES MY BRAND NEW DADDY
DRIVE YOU TO THE LIQUOR STORE
TO CALM YOUR NERVES

DOES HE SCREAM
AND YELL THINGS
YOU DON'T DESERVE

AT LEAST HE DOESN'T
HIT YOU LIKE
THE OLD DADDY DID

I WAS TOO YOUNG
TO DEFEND
YOU
AND MY OLDER BROTHER

I COULDN'T
REALLY FIGHT
TOO GOOD
FROM THE
RINGSIDE CRIB

I WOULD OF
STOOD UP FOR YOU
I HOPE YOU KNOW

I TRIED TO BOOK A FLIGHT
TO HEAVEN
BUT GOD SAID
I HAD TO WAIT MY TURN
HE SAID
I HAD A LOT MORE CHORES
ONE OF WHICH WAS
TO SAVE THE WORLD FIRST

I REMEMBER YOUR WORDS
FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
AND DON'T TAKE NO SHIT
FROM THEM THERE
TOILET BOWL HEADS

KICK EM IN THE SHINS
AND RUN LIKE HELL
THEY'LL NEVER CATCH YOU
BECAUSE WELL
YOU'RE TOO FAST FOR THEM

I WISH I COULD GET
A ROCKET SHIP
TO AT LEAST
STOP AND VISIT
BUT
GOD WON'T GIVE ME
A G D TICKET

I'LL STAY IN TOWN
I'LL KEEP RUNNING AROUND
THE MERRY-GO-ROUND
LIKE A CRAZY HORSEY
GOING UP AND DOWN

I GOTTA GO
I'M GETTING DIZZY
JUST LIKE WHEN
I HIT THAT MOVING TRUCK
IT DIDN'T HIT ME

YOU CAME TO THE BUS STOP
TO SAVE ME
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
I'LL HAVE TO WAIT
AT LEAST I CAN
SAVIOR MEMORIES

MEMBER WHEN
YOU SAID
YOU LOVED ME
MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF

DOES THAT STILL HOLD TRUE
NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE
AND I LIVE
WITHIN MYSELF
IN A PLACE
I LIKE TO CALL HELL

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
I STILL LOVE YOU
BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD


IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER, NANCY JANE JORDAN BERRY SANDERS MacDONALD

I'LL SEE YOU SOON!!! OX
