Can Not Stop the Clock

4/19/21 This goes out to whoever I got to do better And keep it together Blinded by it The reason why I buy it Can't deny it I continue to try it For a period of time, I was able to fight it Gone past the point of needing to hide it It's there for the taking But not if you continue waiting Through this journey, I've been painstaking Even though at times it was backbreaking And really heartbreaking Occasionally Earthquakes the cause of the Earth shaking Made a lot of poor choices, despite all the decisions and money making They thought it was ghosts that I was chasing To me it was intoxicating They continue debating Towards others often shading I have a difficult time relating Got enough problems on my own I'm facing Mind often wanders Continually I ponder Holding on longer Getting stronger Displaying honor Still drinking lagers The land occasionally copper And the waters Have guppies or monsters From here to yonder I've got a lot to offer And can prosper Unless I continue to squander And think 'why bother'? Paying no respect to the All-Father Before I'm a goner Certain things just can't be bought The community is divided or they quickly flock They continue to stir the pot There's been a lot of talk Most of which was crock The truth came as no suprise or a shock Can not stop the clock If there's one thing my mom taught It's that you can be hateful or not As well as grateful or not for what you got Comfortable or in a tight spot If necessary, getting it done at all costs As opportunity continually knocks Stood atop A dock While in deep thought Drinking another one and taking a shot As life continues on or begins to rot
