Struggle

Comparison

The 
Local 
News 
Gives 
Me
The 
Mean 
Blues.
Things
Are
Tough
In 
The 
Whole
U.S.
But
Here
In
Albuquerque,
They’re 
A 
Mess.
We
Have 
Crooks
That
Will
Steal
Your
Bones
And 
Every
Thing
Else
You 
Own, 
In
Dead
Of 
Night,
Or
Broad 
Daylight.

However,
There’s 
Plenty
Of
Hexes
Next 
Door
In 
Texas,
And 
Heavy 
Vexation
In
The 
Texican
Nation.
Tornado,
Flood,
Endless
Mud,
And
Patriotic
Sons
With 
Guns.

I’ll
Take
My
Chances
With
Rapacious 
Thieves, 
The 
Bastards 
Never
Leave.
I’d
Rather
That
Tug
Of
War,
Than
Battle
Deadly
Weather
Under
The
Lone
Star.
