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.
