Poem
9/6/21 "Rogue" What a joke Yet it's not a hoax It's getting gross Folks constantly at each other's throats Quick to brag and boast Making an out of pocket comment after another croaked It's not all cloak and dagger, stay woke From coast to coast I took notes And moved around like a ghost At times I cut it close And almost Was toast It's been difficult to cope Addiction is a slippery slope While walking a tightrope Continually took a toke And saw the smoke Fly high beside a giant Oak There's been no antidote Yet another beer plus a Jack and Coke For a long time been down bad and broke Either I sunk or float Remaining dry or soaked Nope I didn't see, or I saw it through the scope Happens in each and every zone Humans always out to pick a bone Obsessed with the throne Fast to throw a stone Don't come at me with that tone Like you've gone down the same road Yet you're just continuing to drone And similar to all these other clones Only if needed speaking in code Intentionally went rogue Otherwise from others my cover would've been blown I should've known It'd be like this even inside home As well as all across the globe In others hard to place trust At times this world seems to be far from just In and out of many ruts I've been unscathed and got many cuts Many fast to cuss People causing a fuss And to spill their guts So that it throws another under the bus Yup, I'll tell you what I know this world can be nuts There's no if ands or buts Struggles and triumphs in life as well as with earning cash One disconcerting fact Learn that, there's no turning back This all is hurting bad And turning sad Yet still all this disturbing crap I thought for once it was one thing we were working past Just kidding, since the dawn of time it's been determined that Still we treat each other worse than trash Often gunshots, getting burned or stabbed Among all the curving paths
