The Applause Machine

Approval ratings

Manufactured statements

All in a way

Certain

To make a grown man

Pull the curtain

In these times

Who do we trust

Since all relationships

All parties

Have developed so much rust

Vague Tomorrow

There is no clarity for tomorrow

I just saw today

And not quite sure what I saw

It happened that’s for sure

But what will the new day

Bring

I can only imagine

But that’s the thing

It might be better

Or worse

But I will find out

Tomorrow

Loose Money

I’ll take some of that

Loose money

Not the type of money

That can make me

Lose money

A little pinch of sugar

And honey

On a day with no work

All of that just

Went away

But I’ll take a

10 or 20

Of some of that good

Loose money
