A Taste of Your Own Medicine

7/8/17 Laughing when others crumble So very far from trustful Time I cause you trouble And make you struggle Whether or not it makes you humble A swinging pendulum I'm being genuine Here with a second wind And sudden surge of adrenaline Come get a taste of your own medicine Since you're daily regimen Has been taking advantage of denizens You'll eventually be food for nature, including pelicans The outside soft like gelatin And inside hard because of the skeleton A world so chaotic and hectic Catch you when you least expect it Without a question Not going to teach you a lesson Or send you a message But maybe you'll find out if there is hell and heaven Or other dimensions Without talking to a reverend When shrapnel is imbedded Or after you are beheaded
