Beyond
5/22/17
Burning strong
From dusk to dawn
Shoutout to Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong
Just trying to hit home and go way beyond
Don't overlook every song
Migh just be here for awhile, or not that long
Regarding me being gone
Above and below clod
Near and far from plants with or without pods
And any other fronds
A frog swam in a pond
Then hopped upon a log
Within a bog
Before and after there was fog
A hog began to trod
Meanwhile a fawn
Started to yawn
When a dog ran across a lawn
As other organisms continued on
Whether or not they clawed
And pawed
Whether or not with(in) shod
Thankful that another day was saw
With or without occasional feelings of awe
By net or fishing rod
Aquatic lifeforms caught, including cod
Is religion one big facade
Including in gods
Was it made up by someone being a fraud
All across the solar system, occurs phenomenon
Don't think you know it all because you've got it wrong
Regardless of any echelon
Belief in ramadan
Or if it has to do with the autobahn
Some just want to con, rob
And always do you wrong
Even their own mom
I don't follow any psalms
Never once did I think the world was in my palm
Just tried to remain humble and calm
Meanwhile too many threatened lives with bombs
Continuing to have qualms
I wonder why there are so many different laws
And folks at odds
People bouncing side to side faster than ping pong
Truly acting like ding dongs
Unwilling to follow through on a big job
Just no comparison to King Kong
