Minor Or Major
6/1/21
Life has been like an elevator
Going up sometimes, often down to the bottom layer
The outcome was minor or major
Paid it no mind, or it started to hanker
Feeling calm or full of anger
Done in good will or with rancor
Always nearby lurks danger
Skills beyond a Texas ranger
Familiar with it, or am a stranger
What I did was a game changer
Kept going or stopped and put down the anchor
It was empty, full or there was only one in the chamber
Fluids separated from solids with a strainer
Near and far from dog trainers
Can't solve every problem with paper
(root of all evil)
(Showing the true colors of people)
If it came to that, then I will turn into a Gladiator
Don't talk to me about the 'so-called creator'
It barely left a mark or afterward there was a crater
All these kids and teenagers
Not to mention too many haters and traitors
Now or later
You will or won't grasp such a concept and what is greater
On either side of the Equator
It was difficult to understand or a no-brainer
Food and liquids staying fresh or going bad inside a container
Wild and domesticated animals eating out of a manger
It's sad that species are continually being endangered
Will it ever improve for the remainder
Of our time, or will it all end abrupt from a Glacier
Or the impact of Mother Nature
I've gone beyond a stargazer
And trailblazer
Cut my wrists with a razor
Or blow my brains out with a green beam laser
Close to or far from a 2022 Blazer
