VENDOR WRITING

PROFANE SUPER POWER JEN A.

A DOLLY PARTON SONG SAVED MY LIFE LOGAN M.

Why Johnny STILL can't read? 3 out of 4 children in Tennessee cannot read at grade level.

After your evil deeds were done, And your clandestine

You spun me around three times

Votes were taken,

said bloody mary’s gonna get me again

Having arrested

Punched me in my face

All voices of dissent,

Locked me in the closet

Your limp members slithered

Stuck a needle in your arm again

From your limestone vault

Daddy’s out hustling for his next hit of crack

Under cover of Cimmerian darkness And knelt in self-righteous prayer;

Mommas usually don’t let thier babies starve

One knee on the neck

and leave them there aching with a broken heart

Of a black man, And the other knee on the neck

This merry go round keeps on spinning around

Of a woman.

This merry go round keeps on spinning around I never thought a Dolly Parton song could save my life A handful of pills I’d stop just in time

THE SKY TYRONE M.

A cup of ambition

huge blue wide

I’m a sparrow when I’m broken I wanna be an eagle that flies

spaced

against a billion stars

Momma’s not coming home

a blue sky

Daddy’s drunk again

moving endlessly

I’m locked in this closet again

all ‘round

This Dolly Parton Barbie doll is my only friend I never thought a Dolly Parton song could save my life A handful of pills I’d stop just in time

TEACH THE WORLD SOMETHING NEW JOHN H.

Sixty years old, and feel no pain

A cup of ambition motivation 9 to 5 Maybe someday I’ll have a better life I’m a sparrow when I’m broken I wanna be an eagle that flies

It’s the hate in America, that drives a man insane Take a look in a mirror, that’s where it start On your way to bed, ask God to cleanse your heart Ya see it starts with me, before I can ask you Maybe afterwards you and I can get together, give the world a clue Loving someone ain’t hard, it depends on you I think it’s time we teach the world something new

LOVE VICTOR J.

People say they love you all the time left and right Soon as you turn around that love is gone In 60 seconds But God’s love will never end
