From Round Rock to Round Top,
Places in between,
Texas is the place for me.
Places to be seen!
You can travel to the mountains.
You can travel to the shore.
Yes, you are still in Texas!
Who could ask for more?
Texas, Texas!
It's infectious!
Texas is the place.
Texas is the place.
Texas is the place for me!
From Paris to Athens
Places in between
You haven't left Texas
There is more to be seen
Travel to the canyon
Travel to the border
So much to see and do
Grab that camcorder!
Texas, Texas!
It's infectious!
Texas is the place.
Texas is the place.
Texas is the place for me!
From Del Rio to Denton
Places in between!
Texas is the place for me.
Places to be seen!
Travel to the state parks!
Travel to the city!
Take a country drive.
When the bluebonnets are so pretty.
Texas, Texas!
It's infectious!
Texas is the place.
Texas is the place.
Texas is the place for me!
Writers notes: The lyrics/poem was written approximately three years ago. While my music taste is rock & roll, I picture the lyrics to be a country song. Willie Nelson's On Road Again is a favorite. I can visualize Willie Nelson singing the lyrics to Texas. If you are going to dream, make it memorable.
Side Note: In 1982, An American Western film, Barbarosa, was filmed in the Bracketville, TX, which is close to Laughlin AFB, and surrounding area. Late one night that year, Willie provided a free concert for the military personnel and their families. Remember it! Never will forget! It was the night that Willie sang live and in person. One of the songs was On The Road Again!

God slayer
You give me pain and force me to take it. There aren't enough algorithms to make me fake it. I'm not a variable in your equation. There is no fundamental sequence, only persuasion. A glitch in the code that remakes me. A hiccup on the screen that reinvents me. I have gone above precognition. I have ventured below formulated precision. A median in your symmetry. An exponent in your failed fallacy. It's lonely in the 4th quadrant. What's meant to be broken is now just bent. You can't apprehend me. I'm the nail in the coffin that you can't see. You don't deserve all this acclaim. A heretic on the throne of the insane. It's not a mission of mind control. It's a competition for ownership over the soul. Destroyer of Adam cells. We are at the eve of homecoming hell. You played the roll of a saint. But your crucifix is crooked and the blood is faint. Don't spear me with absolution. Don't baptize me in the waters of confusion. Fallen idol, get down on your knees and pray with me. These whispers mean absolutely nothing. If there is an almighty already made, may He be kept safe from my blade
