JUMP AUNT JUMP!


Chance to see the south

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

3/5th of a person

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

Smell of the south rising

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

Bought by different men

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

Tear them apart

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

I'm not what smells

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

I felt so raw and ill

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

Everything would change

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

Worn out and died

JUMP AUNT JUMP!
Jump and was sold.

Ms ebony

Can see you tapping this down
doing a glare or two as you place your mind between the lines.

Delicious!  I don't even have to make a decision
How to feel.  The poem does it for me.  Cheated and
Raw.  Love the rhythm.

Very good, EG

I like the cadence, it fits the theme well.
enjoyed, even though I don't like the truth in it.

Impressive and angry. The only way it could have been written.
