Cemetery

7/31/17 Some things considered hereditary Near and far from any estuary Working toward something legendary Instead of secondary And temporary Got to do what is necessary Stand in the way and you'll stay in the cemetery There's a code of conduct, and right way to do business Not by burning continual bridges In the pursuit of riches Thinking you're all that and prestigious No more wishes Go ahead and try to get religious Now it's time you sleep with sharks and jellyfishes A fitting finish With three sixes Darkness spread and the light shone Close and beyond what we call home Better watch your tone You'd be a fool to think we're alone And I'm not talking about drones After all, aren't we made of flesh and bone? It wasn't always set in stone Had to get it on my own Even if work and events were postponed Quit telling me how badly you want the throne I don't care about that, and still have much to hone And comb
