jupiter • 2016

Posted on by Sean Reinhart

jupiter was a friend of mine,
taught me how to rock and how to rhyme,
but did i know that in the end that
jupiter would one day be the end of me.

he jumped into that rocket ship,
from the ground it did lift,
he said, this is lit!
and what did he see, just what did he say?
jupiter said, blow them away.

it’s time to go far away.

he became the god of war.
everybody get down on the floor.
you know what this gun is for.

and what did they do, just what did they be?
jupiter said, rock with me!
forever…

it’s time to go far away.

he built a wall around the stars,
gave the moon a billion scars,
tore the galaxy asunder,
nor weighed the gravity of wonder
even as he dismayed the world he had made.

when his eyes had seen the darkness
o’ercome the vistas of his mind,
what did he see what did he say? he said,
the sun rises over my destiny today.

FUNKY PRESIDENT • 2020

Posted on by Sean Reinhart

little baby boy
playing your guitar
you’ll never get far
and that’s ok.

your mom’s a drag
she thinks you’re a loser
a big drug user
and that’s all right.

well, listen to the man
he says he has got a plan
to make it great again
for the nation.

what did he say?
he says he can show the way
but you know that you’re gonna pay
for emancipation.

when they start a shoot in
you better get a grip, girl
’cause they’re gonna take you out
like his mama never brought you into this world.

so you better break it down
don’t let them suckers shake you down
burn that cause right to the ground
because your mama brought you into this world.

‘cause baby, the future’s now
you better jump on down
tell me what you gon do
to make this world a better place?

and no one else can give you
what you want us to do

when they start a shoot in
you better get a grip, boy
‘cause they’re gonna take you out
like your mama never had no pride and joy

so you better break it down
don’t let them suckers shake you down
burn that cause right to the ground
because your mama brought you into this world

for better things, so don’t waste it
don’t erase it]

well baby, the future’s now
you better jump on down
tell me what you gon do
to make this world a better place?

fuel ’99

Posted on by Sean Reinhart

got to get some fuel
fly way down south
by the atlantic
where the water runs green.

if you want to go
baby let’s go together
we could be warm
in the calm before the storm.

let’s fly away
just you and me forever baby
by the gulf of mexico
that’s where we’re gonna go
just you and me forever baby.

got to get some fuel
fly way down south
by the pacific
where the water is so clean.

beneath the indian ocean
between our sons and daughters
all the life we’ve loved
could never be for naught.

mm the arctic ocean is frozen
so sleep, my child
we’re gonna fly away
fly away, away tonight.

if you want to go down slow
baby let’s break until the dawn
wait til the storm is gone
then we’ll go where we belong.

🌧 rule my world

Posted on by Sean Reinhart

rollin down the boulevard
and all the potholes make it hard
what u see is what u get
but u and me is like a bet
ain’t no 1 stoppin us girl
cuz u kno that u rule my world

so u want 2 b famous
that’s what they say
everybody
that’s not the way 2 live today
if u want 2 b famous
all you’ve got 2 do
is do the things that u like 2 do

everything goin around in this world
you kno it doesn’t really matter
the boys the girls
all the men women children
just see that fame’s not the place 2 b
u got 2 b on your own
b your own person
and famous in your own.

everybody’s runnin round
with their heads in the ground
and the money sound in their ears
they don’t kno what 2 do over the years
it just comes 2 nothin u
play the lottery hopin 2 win
cuz money brings fame
if u kno how 2 spend

everybody see me
i’m walkin down the street
i’m famous but
i’ll never meet u all
cuz i’m the boss
when i run my rhyme
you’re punchin in
to make overtime
i’m clockin dollars
you’re standin in line so
check your privilege
i’m woke never broke
smell the smoke
when I’m crossing the bridge
that you’ve been torchin
in your search
for fame and fortune
but u know

everybody is somebody
til they got no more body

in the end they won’t remember u were famous
they won’t remember what your name is
in the end we all are blameless
so don’t b the 1 who plays that game

ain’t no 1 stopping us girl
cuz u kno that u rule my world

she’s a fly girl
and she’s my girl
baby let me break it down
bcuz i love u

and back again
cuz you’ll be my fren
thru thick and thin

all day all night to the future
cuz u kno me n u is like a suture
sewn together at the hip
everywhere we go
cuz u kno

falling all around
see all these flakes
they’re all on the ground
we step thru em
and leave footprints behind

artistic
but u kno it will melt in time
cuz it doesnt really matter
even tho i make your heart go pitter patter
i’m just rhymin and u kno that
one day all good things scatter.
say it loud

she’s a fly girl not a shy girl
so i like her
why girl are u my girl
so i write her a letter that says
why do you love me so

in the rain and snow?

Books I skipped this week 📖

Posted on by Sean Reinhart

Photo of my office shelf a few weeks ago.

I had every intention of reading these books, but after reading the first some-odd pages, I became consumed in other things, and skipped….

  • A very stable genius / Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig
  • Click here to start / Denis Markell

Is it acceptable to recommend a book one hasn’t read? That’s neither here nor there in this moment. I liked what I read in the opening pages of each book. For reasons, I didn’t have the time to read them all the way through. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
