Keep It Simple

I stand in ******** like a British guard patrolling the keep A private eye from nine to five but lose control when I sleep Behold what I see is crime and sin that roams in the street Your home, your retreat, the woods, the plateau, and the creek The ocean, the beach, a plane, a bus, boat, or a jeep Deceptions everywhere, at any time no moment for peace The thrown and the king, it’s there as you approach the regime But as focus decreases, it needs a microscope to be seen It grows from a seed...as it blossoms, the hand becomes a possum Alive but standing still to be a mannequin with problems And the vanity accomplished helps profanity demolish Your beliefs and thoughts until you see your sanity abolished Damn if we could all just get along without someone believing Everything they heard I wouldn’t have these clouds up underneath me Life is like a tree, see it grows, and then it branches out And plants a seed in mother nature 'til she screams and passes out You asked about it here it is, like pyramids it’s quite complex “Up and Down” and “Right to Left”, it all rotates like “Life and Death” But it depends on how you visualize and what your eyes detect It’s a “Circle of Events” so you cannot deny the steps Try your best to put an end to it, you’ll just apply a stress Cause if you die you’ll live again it’s written in the bibles text But life is what you make it basically the way you write reflects Wether or not you kept it simple or made it all complex .
