You shall love your crooked neighbour
With your crooked heart
—W.H Auden, As I Walked Out One Evening
Anger and resentment
Will fill your heart with sand
Allow yourself to care about
Somebody you can’t stand
There’s a part of you that tries to love
Everyone you see
Pretending that it doesn’t
Makes you angry sad and mean
It’s a crooked crooked world
Filled with crooked souls
Love can make it meaningful
But nothing makes us whole
By Richard W. Bray
Pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world
—Macy Gray, et al.
You’ll never see a sunset
Hanging on the wall
You can’t buy any moonlight
At your local mall
You can find a billion
Emeralds and pearls
In the overwhelming joy
Of a bunch of boys and girls
I could dig up every gemstone
From Paris to the Nile
I’ll never know a treasure
Greater than your smile

The Russians broke in
When I was outta town
Drank all my whiskey
And burned the place down
The Russians ate my homework
And Putin hacked my phone
My girlfriend saw his dick pic
And now I’m all alone
My manager’s a Russian
He’s an undercover Tsar
Always hacking at my server
And eating caviar
Down in every basement
Under every bed
There’s a sneaky Russian agent
They know everything you said
Call the Justice League
And summon Chuck Norris
Cuz we’re under assault
From Natasha and Boris
