Poem
7/29/18 All over the road, about to wreck One of many causes for yet another death Too many chickens giving each other pecks They just look and rubberneck Person overboard, from falling over the deck Luckily they had on a life vest No offense I don't want to sit around and work behind a desk Far from over yet It's been one heck of a trek I currently work at a vet Helping take care of people's pets With care and respect Putting forth my best Situations being assessed During the quest Making progress Taking continual steps Striving towards success And nothing less In order for it to manifest Otherwise there'll be regrets Like all the beer I buy and drink at my own expense Knowing it can have harmful long-term effects Taking occasional time to reflect Great and not very well is how it went I wasn't making a dent Until my intent Went to the furthest extent And was one hundred and ten percent I got more than I ever dreamt Near and far from items made with hemp On days and nights with a drop or rise in temp Such a f***ing mess What the corrupt have been doing is grotesque I'm not going to repent Or lament Occasionally I disconnect From the internet Took off and left Went camping, pitched a tent Then took a rest Somewhere out West For time I'm pressed I got to jet From the dirt back to cement Taking care of business, and running through a check Zero time to focus on petty things, no bigger than a speck Yes I confess I'm lonely, I guess Now let's See what happens next God bless When my time comes, in peace I'll rest By: Dalton Ogletree
