Dougd
DOUGD.
Doug.
A pity – a shrug
No good-bye party not even a shake or a hug
Fall for all the system takes
Institutionalized
A programmed criminal – an imprisoned thug
Excuse and rationalized
Convicted lizards – parolee bug
Should have stuck with sprinkling life with your spice
Freedom was not enough – so now pay the price.
A dangerous animal Ant farm of insects
Mindy Joe deserved better than you.
Smart and able to see a lie from what is true.
So which tragic way Doug must go through
Violated parole. - Down in the hole
A tempered sword, A tempered soul.
Friends of far between and few
To succeed or to suck eggs? Which is the goal?
Doug has dug his own little grave,
Within it a cage
Inside is so empty The outside – now gone- is now so. Full.
