A La Familia'

A La Familia'

Out of much respect' for the family..

The innocent need their protection,
Loyalty with honor come from within the heart'
We have all chosen this life..,
Against the vile an unfamiliar strife,

All for the benefit of the family,

Within solace we can find order and peace'

~

Machavelli made his chose just as others follow suit'

Yet with the wicked they have no rest'
Too much time on their hands to even pass a test,
No where to even lay their heads ?
It was a bitter cold day'
~
Many having paying ample homage by which to bow the knee to pray'
With utter disastrous consquences in store lest I implore another opened door ?
Through the many years the family would grow'
I guess it's not what you know but what you are told ?

~

Yet still the crust of the bisquit is the apostrphe'

La Familia' 
We made all our shady deals right their in the back !
Sal was working much too hard'
In effect this gave him a dramatic heart attack'

Yet clearer heads had prevailed still some found theirs in the sewer ?

Billy Joel was right even though he had suffered'
Overcome when faced by Elton John from an alcohol addiction,
Now was there something other that I was missing ?
Only two tone Jimmy was the latest thing'

Got the sell that everybody needs'
Many in effect just want to watch as you lie there and bleed ?
