Asphalt

4/24/15


Who's at fault
For such misconduct across the asphalt
Similar to the color of Hawaiian black salt


If your intent was meant
To only go to a certain extent
And not one hundred percent
Then honestly you didn't give it your best attempt


No offense
But it might make even more sense
If you look at both sides of the fence
Always not just at your own expense


Don't get jealous
And be selfish
By trying to embellish
A made up story beside the trellis
While being a bit overzealous
A hundred feet above some buried relics
That were considered cursed and hellish
