contradiction always gets lost in translation

I have a dream
that the bottom blows out
of this bitch
sooner than expected

All my closest friends
grow the medicine
that seemed like a far-off fantasy
coming up. I am thirtythree years old
reality is being changed
in half lives

I am still broke
but broke seems better

life ain't as hard
as is sold

General Butt Naked sings an odd gospel
in Liberia
but todays redemption
tilts a rigged scale

light workers kick puppies
and the truly scarred
bleed god

without asking
