My Mother's Oncologist Was Indicted for Tax Evasion

from Everyone's Okay by Kevin Dickerson

/

lyrics

today is a really good day
only good lies before me
abundance flows into my life in surprising ways
life loves me

all is well
I release all drama from my life and now get energy from peace
“you hate everyone equally”
“you hate everyone equally”

I was in a giant humidified glass bubble looking at tiny orange frogs and blue butterflies
When my brother sent me a chat message, as he does fairly often—although this one was a surprise

In a twist, I read a news article about my mom’s oncologist
Indicted on four counts of tax evasion in Alaska, while on vacation in the Caribbean

He was obese and wore frumpy silk shirts with beer and margaritas on them
And in his giant living room in his big house on Big Lake he kept a tyrannosaurus rex skeleton

My dad was beside me and he could see that I was becoming livid, I can be a handful
He did his best to reassure me and rubbed my shoulder and said, “Let it go.”

all is well, and so am I
I am greeted with love wherever I go
I look with expectation to my next moment
which is fresh and new

I don’t blame myself
I don’t blame myself
I am pain free and totally in sync with life

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

I messaged back, “I always said that motherfucker was a goddamned fucking piece of shit asshole”
My brother like oh this again said, “you hate everyone equally”
“you hate everyone equally”

Despite how pissed off I was he sent me a funny internet picture that made me laugh
I’ll remain forever disgusted that we couldn’t even get a wheelchair, and this fuckface steals millions in cash

She lay in the living room, covered with an old sheet, the room was dark without her light
The cremation center’s corpulent owner asked me about my new cell phone’s battery life

Leonard Cohen, Gwen Ifill… Leon Russell said “Hallalujah” when he was indicted into the rock and roll hall of fame
And the united states just elected a tax-dodging piece of shit douchebag twitter egg troll
And is trying to figure out who to blame

I don’t know how much life remains
I don’t know how much life remains
I don’t know how much life remains
I don’t know how much life remains

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

We walked to a Thai restaurant and I got all pissy, acting like an out-of-line hater
In front of my dad and my girlfriend after looking at a gigantic albino alligator

And I’m grateful for everything I have in my life
And I’m grateful for everything I have in my life
Like my girlfriend and brother and father who were right there by my side
