Not All by Random Chance
1/23/24
These cats love to chat without knowing all the facts
Rats still going splat inside traps
In a flash swarms of gnats among the trash
All kinds of bats with wings that flap before they circle back
Another ass ready to light the match atop the grass
So that they can grasp all the cash
They never looked through the looking glass
There was always a scratch
As well as a man in a mask
Alas you'll be caught like a bass
Against such wrath it's difficult to stand a chance
Do you even need to ask?
The man who wanted to burn the world down with gas
Be careful if you stick your neck out like a giraffe
Prices go up but they crash
In the animal kingdom and society is another clash
What is considered a simple task can still lead to back lash
A dangerous world like an avalanche
It's not all by random chance
Realize and imagine that
It's all constant and happens fast
If you sit idle you won't have a chance
And land in last
It's not about being first, just don't fall to the back of the pack
Or you'll get overlapped and an axe to the back
Since nearly everything has a catch
Across such savage lands
Seeing the bigger picture not just at a glance
Time continuing to pass
As I amass
I got no time to rehash
Need to do the dash
Make a splash
Then stash more in a cache
Before it all turns to ash
