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
