Don'T Step In It

Every ringside observer knows, Truth don’t pull no punches Getting down dirty in the earthy trenches, reveal who the real firmament workers are When a pile of brown waste is coming out of somebody’s backdoor mouth Don’t let ‘em try to shovel those swarm of flies thru the front door of your house Avoid walking thru those cow pastures: Don’t step in it ... Let none of that smelly smear stick to your shoe Avoid the uranium fear manure fields: Don’t get scare-boo by their lung moo When punch drunk ear boxers start piling the lies on thick Their green excrement promises is gon make you vomit sick Don’t get the greedy steer eyes, then open your fattened, flattered mouth by bribe surprise ... Don’t snake steak swallow none of it Grab that honest-to-good shovel and start sweat swinging it If not, soon you gon be knee deep in every bridle inch of this horse plop obit Step lightly ... always in the path of right Avoid dim cow pastures that darkly wanna stumble dung smack your mouth But, Truth gon always bulrush connect to a Nile gator jaw Crocodile teeth gon always try to bite the lion’s paw Remember the Queensberry Rules, my gentlemen peeps: Bury the right cross in a fool’s jaw, and do it justly jab quick Bob and weave ... don’t fall for none of those fake counter punches, bifurcated tongue tricks The Devil says, fight dirty — do whatever it takes to get rich But those who choose to win that way, will fall blindly into the bottomless money pit Making it so Lucifer loser plain to see, they stepped into a mess of it And in that sour field of filthy lucre dreams, full of lying, nasty quips ... Their sphincter mouths will surely get a shovel full of derriere brown stick lips

We are all born clean as a mountain spring but if we're not mindful, we will be choked with filth. "Don't step on it." Enjoy your use of metaphors

Love the "back door mouth" - had never thought of it like that, but it SO fits!
