DISSED

Oh my lord
Will you ever shush
Always aching  and moaning
With your constant push
...to speak

Your mouth is evil
Always gets us slapped
No one wants  to hear
How your life is mapped
...in TRUTH

Who shiz a git
If you get touched, mauled
Yes their corners are stuffed
With secrets that have called
...to innocence 

Poor baby got broken
By big bad boisterous boys
No sighs or infant cries
Because little pitchers hear every noise
...scream for help

Thanks, body, for your use
Don't pelt me with sorrow and pain
I wasn't the one seeking
Illegal gain
...from the naive

With every roar you make
I will medicate with prescription
Letting educated men, guess
At cause for dereliction
...of duty

Survival demands my attention....
