Snowflakes on my mind like a crack fiend

Praying for snow like elementary school kids
Crossed fingers and shoelaces dangle
Like the catholic hope from my neck
Its nice to know that teachers
Plot and pray for snow like thieves
Just like elementary school kids....

I ran through winter with my summer lungs as my shadow stalked me, the night was quiet like a snowglobe before its shaken,
as if the weather man was accurate with the forecast, I ran towards independence hall, passed the liberty bell... the cracked pavement, and those lopsided cobblestones that remind tourists that history can be recreated for the right price.
But i digress and put it in the past......
Today i gave my United States History class a quiz covering Foreign Policy and the Spanish American War.... The war that robbed Washington of wisdom and shoved our loner longings, to the imperial nightmare that Bush covers under tax breaks and 911...Its as Bill Cosby so beautifully stated in between discipling Theo, hugging Rudy and repping for JELLO pudding pops...
"The past is a ghost, the present is a dream, the only time we have is now"
Right on Mr. Cosby... Right on
