Maybe So
4/16/16
Nah I'm not interested in watching the Brady show
Or listening to the radio
Focus and work on daily growth
In and out of every state and coast
As well as anywhere else from here beyond outerspace folks
All over the place I roam
So many different ways we go
Across a sunny and shady globe
As well as atop the clay and stones
Maybe so
As of now only do the faintest traces show
Relics and ancient tomes
Buried underground in caves below
And above the vicinity of several vacant homes
Or at isolated coves
Inside and outside of areas labeled as safety zones
There was nearby and faraway crops not always being safely grown
An increased chance of danger the higher many flames had flown
Play with fire and you may get burned, which is something you may have known
Everslowly did certain blades corrode
Meanwhile others mainly broke
Temples, and arts made of stone
By those that usually obeyed the throne
Any weather not just the rain and snow
I was amazed, feeling strange although
I had changed and grown
She wanted to say hello
Every single day by phone
While I was among several glades and groves
It was vastly overgrown, so on my own I had to create a road
I then found pieces of jade as more and more waves approached
In the distance was several navy boats
Alert while staying at post
Far too many betrayed and put another into the grave for dough
While then decayed the bones
Many times the case was closed
Out and about
I can smell the sage and cloves
In terrain filled with snakes and crows
