About This Poem

M-M'S

material MATRIMONY....


Things I fear
Are out of this
atmosphere
Forever off safety
To return
Home safely
Hunter's 
Are out lookin
Non-scoliosis
but crooked
You're the CHANCE
and they took it

LIFE VS MATERIAL
some killer's are
SERIAL
fear in you
Provides their kid
with CEREAL
You don't work
You don't eat
Armored with hurt
Lives on these street's

FATE meets up
with CHANCE
HESITANCE
gets the AMBULANCE
The REAPER wears 
Shoes to DANCE
What's new 
Becomes old
or it's replaceable
SOME BULLET'S are
UNTRACEABLE.

A gun is American Express,
NEVER LEAVE HOME 
WITHOUT IT
I rather be judged,
THAN TO EMPLOY
pallbearer's
FOR MY BODY!!!!!!

Your candy, becomes
Their candy.....

By, The Scribe

    Like they could be siamese-twin brothers. I am not saying it is anything beyond a blasphemous thought. Your poem simply sparked that train of thought for me. Nothing to worry about; I am not going to start sacrificing chickens or anything like that.

    Hmmm, live by the sword, die by the sword, but wot of modern-day warriors? Gets confusing for me sometimes, but if I want to protect loved ones against people carrying heaters, sometimes a ukulele and a hershey's kiss just isn't enough. Great flow and word-play in this one. I laughed at your Compton po-po comment....why would I want the 77th Division!? As for the blasphemous thoughts....something to do with God and the Devil; two faces on the very same coin. Not different coins. The same one.

    This isn't glorifying the gun. If someone is willing to harm me, defending yourself isn't a crime. Where I live in L.A. is nice, but that doesn't mean the people are. Crime is on every continent! The main objective is, do you value material, or life! Thanks..

    Marlon, although I am not fond of guns, they do provide protection when people need it most. Very compelling thoughts that are well articulated. Now I want you to keep dancing and avoid that reaper (and the ambulance). Love, Crolyn
