Tried and Failed
You're like a broken record
 The bastard politician
 Full of empty promise
 And no proof of ethnicity
 
 You're full of poetry
 But blasphemy be the poet
 Whose words reflect
 Nothing, nothing, nothing
 
 Investments have been tested
 Over, and over, and over again
 To no avail,
 To no startling new sale
 
 Three years
 Three whole years
 Left me in tears
 Again, again, AGAIN
 
 Time is so precious
 Time means nothing
 Time will be 
 the end of me
 
 And also, you.
 
 My momma always said
 Don't fix what's been 
 broken beyond repair
 And I tried to prove her wrong
 
 But momma's always right.
 Always been right.
 
 And I tried, tried again
 Again, again, AGAIN
 But now I'm spent
 And my patience is dead
 
 "Bastard son of a bastard!"
 A daughter following in his footsteps
 But my feet are still so small.
 
 So small.
