Man

4/8/17 Across the land There was a man Whose journey had just began And due to a decision that was bad He lost all that he ever had While feeling his most prized plan Slip through the palm of his hand Faster than sand He was briefly sad and mad But then became glad When he was able to understand What was done wrong, and how he can Reach the goal and help his clan It wouldn't take a couple hundred grand Or to be sponsored by a well known brand Nearby a dam His skills and knowledge started to expand While starting to scan the entire span Many insects scrammed As well as a ram and a lamb Above a stream filled with crab and clam Far away parked in a lot was a sedan And minivan Nearby you could see an area full of water where many people swam Whether they jumped in, walked or ran Traffic jams And braked being tapped or slammed People only out to scam With shams Some content looking for gems and gold with or without a pan And others only concerned with glam Or famous people's and their own instagram By:Dalton Ogletree
