hope springs eternal, vol. 1

tyra banks is going undercover as a stripper for her talk show. and here i thought the world was going to hell in a bucket.

on civil unrest

the jobless, the disenfranchised.
these are the people who riot.
stop me if you think that you've heard this one before:

"Hi, honey, it's me.
I'm going downtown
to riot after work,
so go ahead and start dinner without me.

unless, of course, you want to come.
which in that case
bring my helmet and
that old 5-iron from the garage
cuz i'm finna git indignant on some embassy ass.

you'll come? great! meet me at the starbucks on fifth."

that is not how it goes down
at the corner of unemployed muslim
and danish newspaper mocking your faith

freedom of the press works best
when you live with a press that's free
and if you live inside of tyranny,
what you're reading in the press is by no means free.
