Free Cee This Is a Poem They Would Have Burned In Boston
THEY REALLY WOULDN'T HAVE BURNED IT BUT I WANTED YOUR ATTENTION:
RED SKY AT WARNING
Every single night and morning
i'd give my lover the very same warning
but her ears were deafened by being enchanted
however mine was a caveat that could not be recanted
I told her the truth all about me
how it feels to be caged and so un-free
I warned the lady of my foibles and foes
and that trouble follows wherever this fellow goes
“my dear,” i'd say in a gentle way
but she didn't want to hear what I had to say
she just painted a picture of me in her mind
and it's a shame the lady wasn't born blind
because she never listened to or saw what was true
I told her how much I loved the lady and she loved me to
then one day I was on the bathroom floor shooting dope and rolling the dice
and finally the lady took this junkie's advice
