Throw It Down

Throw it down Two-score tomasina Shed the decade that Never belonged to you Anyway Battle back As you reinvent Misconstrue and smack Your latency Delayed disgust Molding contempt with Sheer disregard As if needs to be Acknowledged Your stand Our plight and opportunity Traverse the course Before it reverses you You know The you remembered The you that casts off Without a plan Except survival Revival And the cocksure joy in Knowing that second chances May come around More than once.
