First Shall Be Last
don't live today
what was learned
learned well once
can't be unlearned
stuck in a rut
thoughts bouncing
bound train tracks
one way ticket
purchased years ago
for this line only
now still validated
long lost reasons
don't confuse me
by words or action
hunker down hide
not a drop of truth
will i drink today
pound if you must
defenses multipy
since you're not aware
that i don't know
but a peak shows
i've seen your hand
you write the last line
LAST SHALL BE FIRST
