Eighth Time
11/8/16
Many days I
Was way high
Still the same guy
During the daytime
It was officially gametime
At the same time
As the show "Dateline"
Time to educate minds
Before, during and after all of this "debate time"
Worldwide not just statewide
Now tell me what good is something that continually claims lives?
They say something worthwhile just may take time
Therefore, if you really want it, don't waste time
People and animals going through difficult and strange times
Experienced it first hand, and heard it through the grapevine
Some just wanted to skate by
Never once have I done a facetime
Life has never just been about "play time"
And always having to have a great time
Movements sporadic, rather erratic or systematic
And in a straight line
If it didn't work like that, why would it the eighth time?
Nah it ain't fine
Not going to let you take mine
I'll just show and prove before I gotta say why
Beings with canines
and without, doesn't matter in the end because eventually they die
That goes for all, regardless of if the suns ray's shine
All along the lake side
Sad to say some many bodies of water became dry
Still the rage climbs
Out of a scale of one to ten, I'd rate it a five
