Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

Curtain Pulled Back

12/26/21


Time I make a splash
Got to fulfill important tasks
Can't rely on hiding behind masks
It won't always be what you asked

Staying intact or full of bug splats
Broken and cracked windshield glass

The wings of bats
Continuing to flap
Before returning to the cave for a nap

Out to get snacks
Packs of rats
Eating trash
Watching their backs
Looking out for cats
And traps

In a flash
Another clash
On train tracks
Or in the grass
Followed by maggots and gnats
It had nothing to do with cash

Just the way of the animal world, real facts
No cap
Comprehend and imagine that

A lot comes with a catch
It goes by fast
The good things in life rarely last
Live a life full of laughs
And have a blast

Close and far from flax
Just about everything getting a tax
Whether or not in burlap sacks

Often outmatched
Souls being snatched
By the batch
Evidence buried underneath a hatch
With a locked latch
Hundreds of feet below a vegetable patch

Never went to mass
Pushed it to the max
Then ran out of gas
So I ate some bass
Then took a dab of wax
Back to work on this obstacle I slash
And smash
I'm causing cracks
From swinging my pickaxe
Originally, I was barely making a scratch

For the last time I'll rehash
It was slapdash
So there was backlash

Wrote about it in my raps
Often I'd relapse
Perhaps
It's time I detach from all this crap

Too many chaps 
Obsessed over apps
And others fighting over scraps

The curtains getting pulled back
Not going to keep it under wraps
Before it all turns to ash
Learn from the past
And other despicable acts
As time continues to pass

What's the haps
Do you truly have a clue?
Do you know the half
Or are you an ignorant ass?
People harass
Cause others to feel like an outcast
No wonder they eventually snap
And are full of wrath
Causing bloodbaths
This is turning into a plague, not a rash
Why are we going down this path
Where most burn and crash
