Minding My Mind
In those dark days
When every time is a down time
Those days when for a dime
You could spare a prime rhyme
And pay a dollar for a cent
Those days when the slimy
Tongues of foes wag in ecstasy
Those days when life seems to turn tide
And you feel God has finally gone blind
Alas! I think of death, like I am right now
Say you know how I feel
We only are playing the truth
Smiling with a sweet tooth
It's only if Dzogbeze Lisa has abandoned you
In the thick forests with clouding trees
Will you really know
Death really can bring life
But I'll deny them the pleasure
I'll work for success and not to die for it
I'll poke death in face and smile back at life
