Different Colors

10/28/16



No time for any sucker 
Since I'm not getting any younger 
Got to stay up, before getting permanently put under 
I don't need no maid or butler 
The same can be said for any cookie cutter 

Anyday, as I do and don't discover 
Among things intact and punctured 

Straight up gutter
Near and far away from any buzzards 
Onto something rougher and tougher
Year round, fall, winter, spring and summer 

A world full of so much different colors
As well as things labeled and numbered
Either disorganized or well structured

Mass quantities of items have been plundered
Much of which became asunder


Nobodies perfect we all make blunders
Respect and love your sisters, brothers and mother

Similar yet different from one another
Near and far from lumber
During sunshine, rain, snow and thunder
I can't help but wonder
Due to my own curiosity and hunger
