Live and Let Die

framed like a felony fiction
struck out fast like speed junkie pitchers
falling fast to earth like a burning meteorite
blazed like a comet lighting up the night
with bars on the window and lightning in the sky...
i live and let live and i live and let die

wires up to heaven and wires down to hell
 loose springs and livewires they go where they will
when psychopathic phases turn to sad styles of life...
i live and let live and i live and let die

like wicked weeds growing the madness multiplies,
still it rains on the evil and the righteous alike
everyday is a choice, choose darkness or light...
i live and let live and i live and let die

injecting the poison and bringing the pain, polluting mad minds,spirits, and dreams
still everyone must walk their very own road
from rugged to smooth the high to the low
and vultures gather where the bodies bloat, like slow motion death eaten alive...
i live and let live and i live and let  die

Enjoyed the phrase used throughout this poem. Everyday a person chooses the path they take the high road or the low road. Even with the attitude of live and let live or I live and let die will lead down one path or the other. Excellent write.
