Grew Into

6/11/16 Close to or far from the Euphrates Don't play me Or be Fugazi I'll send you back to Hades I don't care to listen to Jay-Z But in the future, maybe Shout out to Slim Shady And Kevin Spacey It's not crazy If you want a mercedes Don't be lazy Get after it daily And increase your income greatly Respect the ladies We all started out as babies Crawling around near plants and daisies While the weather was below and above the eighties Grew Into Kids Some lived Near a bridge Atop or at the bottom of a ridge And others were in the fringe Occasionally off the grid Not everywhere you could swim Some of the waters did Contain squid And other lifeforms that hid Make a mistake and it just might not forgive Whether it's the current ,a storm or something with fins Cartilage not skin Many revolts And lives taken by guns some models were colt Eventually became adults Different pathways and results On either side of the Gulf Some liked their juice with or without pulp While others got involved with the occult Trying to hide their mistakes in mulch At the bottom of a gulch While there was thunder and lightning bolts By: Dalton Ogletree
