She stood there in the doorway
Shadows laced the gown she wore
The light shimmered down her face
Her green eyes twinkled in the glow
A candle flickered on the table
There were flowers in a vase
The rain trickled on the gable
The curtains swayed, a gentle pace
A book lay open to an entry
She was never meant to read
She hid away inside the pantry
To get to see what she might see
Just what he had been revealing
In the journal that he kept
When she understood the meaning
For days, she only wept
Wishing she could go back
Would she undo all she had done?
Or would she stand there in the doorway
With her nightgown left undone?

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
