Poem
12/20/21 Ten hut! Can't let up Even though, it can get messed up Really F'd up Do not get fed up Keep your head up Stay sharp, don't get set up Careful where a disagreement ends up Heads up! Many fast to wet up From the legs up To the neck up Bleeding out a color similar to Ketchup The proof was there or quickly got swept up Prices continually went up Falling behind, because you never kept up Get your bread up Often in life you'll have to step up Sped up Engines revved up Couldn't let it go, so they dredge up Old news they spoke and penned up But I did my homework and read up So you're about to get shred up You'll never surface, even after a check up Kept mine, others went against their own word Too late to sojourn At the point of no return Due to a slow burn Often went through the wringer You'd think I've been on Jerry Springer She wants the whole world and a gem on her finger Meanwhile around the corner death always lingers Hit them with another zinger Hook, line and sinker As I continue to tinker Ya'll can be some stinkers I always put on a blinker Soon to give up being a daily drinker Becoming a complex thinker Avoiding any gold diggers Feeling vigor It's time I'm onto something bigger Don't need to reconsider Even though many are quick to pull the trigger People continuing to bicker Remaining bitter Known as a fibber Caught up on twitter It's been pleasant or gotten sicker Going well or down the s***ter Staying clean or full of litter A whole nation hooked Easily getting cooked And forsook They never caught on or looked Strength, dedication and heart is what it took Couldn't find it all from a book Had to put each foot Through miles of soot By the end they were shook Or tried to portray me as a crook Not a big fan of dungarees Getting tired of all this gluttony Too much redundancy And puppetry Still living sucker-free Yet another attempted to humble me So I got the upper hand suddenly Their soul the devil took custody I continued on triumphantly Cautious of who's around as company She's just a tease And he's such a sleaze Try to touch my cheese Then the trigger of a gun I squeeze Doesn't matter if you run or freeze
