Don'T Overlook This
6/24/17
I've been thinking of a whole lot
None of the same old thoughts
Never has it been about any jewelery or a gold watch
And the same could be said for having my soul lost
I'm not going to ramble on
Talk about babylon
Or what happened when there was an apple gone
Ever since a child
Growing up in the wilds
I'll
Continue to smile
And live and learn from what is an isn't worthwhile
As I continue on for endless miles
It was difficult understanding that
There was little good in having crap
While atop a landing craft
As people kept demanding cash
And stabbing backs
Brews inside an ice cold fridge
The same ********
Unfolded
And resulted in being struck with a lot of electrical voltage
Fighting to do right
Through life
And not trying to lose sight
Oh my goodness
You shouldn't
Always overlook this
During nightime stay focused
The same can be said for when another day approaches
In a place so massive
I see little benefit in always living passive
WIth all of the combined gases
Airborne and buried ashes
Below and above the mountain passes
Filled with hidden caches
And enough wealth to feed the masses
Many experienced unfortunated circumstances
Without ever being given chances
All of these comparisons
Like life is just about asparagus
Is becoming becoming rather hilarious
Unlike secret experiments
Believe me, no good comes from carelessness
Or making up excuses
Because it's useless
Regardless of if we start feeling someway
From Monday
To Sunday
Above and below any subway
Near and far from locations selling ice cream sundaes
Or other building stocked with bug spray
Don't always expect success on the first try
As the planets continue to rotate and turn by
What is and isn't called *****sapiens
Can it be possibly related to what we call aliens?
More than writing
Typing
Rhyming
Or art one is providing
Never had to be to your liking
Maybe I should change my tone
One day I could not make it home
Who's to say if we're alone
The environments changing
As the galaxy and planets continue aging
Since the genesis
Not sure what direction this
World is headed in
To be genuine
Everything that happens
Involves matter and atoms
It's not too difficult to fathom
Or imagine
Near endless articles
Occasional carnivals
Above and below particles
And any barnacles
Despite what others taught and told you
It may or may not always hold true
Especially if you maintain the same old view
