“80 PROOF” Reality is perception What I perceive as 80 proof brown juice Most see as Hennessey Either way They’re gonna be the death of me Burning my soul From the inside out I hear the trumpets cry out White doves flying out A symbol for soldiers past Fighting for me in a war For oil & power What type of trash? I refuse to believe this refuse! Sometimes I just gotta let loose Cause everything is not “all good” I wish I could, But if I can’t Just accept it The world’s fucked up And it won’t change And I just can’t accept it Learning is a change in behavior If you’re still doing The same thing from last year Wondering if it’s cash here You haven’t learned a thing And you could never be a king And you could never Do the damn thing Cause instead of feeding ya kids You sat there slizzed
Formats Book Details “Omnia Vincit Amor” translated to English means Love Conquers All. Translated once more through the mind of a young man looking for a reason to exist, means to do what you love… and I love to write. When I close my eyes I hear words that correspond to my feelings. These words dance in my head and change order, meaning and annunciation until they settle like grains of sugar in a glass of Kool Aid.

Daly, a Business School Graduate of Rutgers University, never really paid much attention in college and basically did the minimum amount of work in order to get by. A slacker if you will, he did what he had to do to graduate without really understanding why he was even in school. Now in the real world he looks to find meaning in life and a place where he can be comfortable and accepted. He has found this place and it’s in his own head. Only there does he feel totally free to express himself without the fear scrutiny, mockery & derogatory remarks. He has written for 4 years straight and has compiled his favorite works to share with the world in hopes that he can break out of this mental prison and be more open with his thoughts and opinions. He wants to know if he is alone as he had always assumed or if there are others that are as crazy as he. His works were and still are his only therapy, “A cathartic presentation brought to you by the lethargic”. Hailing from the
