Damn
(Alisha Gordon)

Hound dogs on my trail
School children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day’s gonna be my last
-Nina Simone

Genesis 8:13–14
In the six hundred first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and saw that the face of the ground was drying. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
