Finish What Was Started

5/26/17 Time to finish what was started Anywhere, whether or not uncharted During daylight or while the sky darkens Far too late to bargain You won't get a pardon Even if you feel disheartened Among elements like carbon Near or far a from a garden In the end you will be departed And have your face on a milk carton Now I strive for victory There's no synergy Enough of your trickery Put you in torment and misery With several superficial injuries On terrain that is steep and slippery And then you'll be gone for good, aka history Yet another one of the world's unsolved mysteries Since you've lost all honor I must toss you in ocean waters Where you'll become food for sharks and lobsters Or just clobber you with a copper saucer Either way you're a goner Continuing to discriminate and hate Make you walk the plank Weighed down with concrete from ankle to waist In a secluded place Where it is deemed 'unsafe' Then leave no trace So that you become a cold case
