Hey Dude

Hey dude

I’m nothing

Call me  loser

Call me  sissy

Or patsy

Call me Armangac brain

Monkey drunk

Ugly dog

Call me mad dog

But please

Take my word

The rumors of my

Molesting  Appalachians goats and sheep are  lies .

The Day Before

December 09, 2014

Hey dude

Today

Let me go to Istanbul

Not to Abington

Let earth take me in

Bury me next

Let me rest

Let me sleep with mom and dad

Let betrayal 

Let deception , bad apples win

Not abandonment by my tribe

Not reason or law

Loyalty is love

Love is loyalty

The Day After

December 12, 2014

Hey dude

Uncle Sam wins

Loser is Mad dog

Rumors are victorious

Once you are a patsy

Once you slip

Doubt uncertainty rule

Now you must wait

Wait until

The earth circles

The sun or  Jupiter

Or some other invisible planet

And then the  torture will end

This means

You must trust

Trusting Uncle Sam
