Poem Title:
Poem
1/16/21 Pure silence or the sound of wind chimes Willing to do anything to save their own hides People still committing horrific crimes During low and high tide It's been one hell of a roller coaster ride A whirlwind inside my mind All these rhymes Days and nights spent getting sky high It's seeming like a sign of the times I say I'm fine, but I'm not alright Always feels like I get nowhere when I climb No matter how hard I try Can't even look me in my eyes Quick to assume I'm telling lies Wasn't the first and won't be the last goodbye If you let it, quickly time will pass you by I was reaching the skies Then taking dives Achieving nearly every prize Or living among the mosquitoes and flies I had many lows and even more highs I've been a fool, but I'm still wise You better recognize And realize I still get butterflies While I'm living life, trying to survive Seeing the moon's glow or watching the Sunrise Sometimes It hurts Feels like I'm cursed Still I delve and search Across the Earth Too many perverts And jerks Continue to lurk Meanwhile snakes out to usurp As well as nearly every other twerp Which is why I stay alert Similar to Captain Kirk Ready to put in work First things first To me it doesn't matter if you did or didn't go to church For what it's worth Better or worse Before I'm in a hearse And the dirt I've still got an insatiable hunger and thirst I know there'll be no effect or a ripple that can domino Time will tell if we truly are or are not alone I got to go And roam Across the globe I want to know From here to way beyond the Galapagos As well as Guantanamo Humble and Heroic, doing the impossible Paying homage and occasionally saying 'Geronimo!' Feeling like Socrates Don't need apologies Traveling across the seas And on lands fraught with trees Constantly Saw what others would not believe And am going to continue the odyssey Traveling vertically and horizontally Staying still or moving with velocity As folks hold on to animosity Forever unable to display camaraderie Not focused on such novelties People with good and bad qualities The same can be said for policies I remain an anomaly With my own methodology And ferocity Holding on solidly While remaining an oddity
