Give and Take

when i grow up, i wanna be a pickpocket more respectable perhaps than a hypocrite to tell the truth i really don't want to remit yet it seems kinda unkind, to just be opposite so i'll say to you the outrage i feel 'bout things that to me, seem too unreal i'm tired of stuff that strikes a raw deal those daily events that seem...so surreal how can it be allowed to be a part of our lives with so many against it, even before it arrives our very civilization predicted not to survive if it's allowed to go on unchecked and thrive hoodies and harpies of careless said stuff people state their lies right off the cuff and detested words of hate, just to be tough loudly shouted sounds seem truth, odd enough so let's be sure we're against what they say we shouldn't entertain it any other way it's either our lives, or theirs in disarray no point compromising to meet anyone halfway "live and let live" are just some empty words to be followed blindly by opposition's herds we know their belief is just for the birds besides, we have no leanin's that way towards you may think i'm a bore and a bit ill-tempered even go further to say i'm totally self-centered entertain the thought of intransigence engendered but you gotta admit, at least i'm remembered don't want no platitudes, jus' gimme a break the bes' glass is full, for my thirst to slake it's better for everyone, 'specially my sake to live life by the rule of, you give and i take some might misunderstand, unable to fathom don't want to cause you to involuntarily spasm but i offer my view with honest enthusiasm if you don't know by now, just a bit of sarcasm © Goode Guy 2012-03-29
