Gullible God
A watch on each wrist
wearing a hat that has early stitched on it
The metaphor of late in his back pocket
Carrying a black file with a smiley face sticker centered on the top
Wearing a red Olympic Jersey with the five colorful rings
and playing with a YoYo that goes up and down
But no one notices me
Poetry on file
In the forensic pavilion institute of the mentally ill
one about a mayor a lawyer and a bride
another titled One
one I titled poisoning the well
one written called man of such skill
another called empathetic to the addict
and last but not least the dissapearing act
This man i once was now haunts the ghetto i live in like a wizard
But no one notices me
A short sleeved T-shirt that says
"see spot fringe"
and I'm covered in medically induced red rashes
of psoriases?
listening to the right music
I have become a metaphor for a prayer
the spawn of Satan on another web site
But no one notices me
One watch says 6
the left stopped at 9
Hurley my favorite hat
an eight ball on my wallet
and i threw away my coca cola card
But i still have that black file
I'm still here as the Ghetto wizard
Maybe I'll go fly my kite
Maybe I'll go play with my bouncy ball
I already broke my Yoyo
doesn't matter what i do
no one notices me
