Daily 9/9/2025

Good evening friends.
I salute your divinity.
I know you tried hard.
Of me she is not the epitome.

I just baked a cake.
Butter pecan.
He asked me to do it.
Been gone all day long.

So I do my job.
Rent must be paid.
You throw at me lemons.
I make lemonade.

I will continue to be myself.
Bake cakes for people.
Treat everyone with respect.
We are all equals.

I know they are lying & stealing.
My reputation bruised.
I have told the authorities.
I do not approve.

What are you doing?
Can't admit you're corrupt?
Life insurance policies?
Paid for with my trust?

It was a lie.
I was alway the focus.
The policies replenish the trust.
Money was always the motive.
