Odd, Weird and Radical Stories

I asked Solomon if he knows Any new tricks the system has planned for us, but he told me that- "behind the scenes these closed doors, closest's full of skeletons and lads tapping: straight paths and chest cases hidden: booby-traps, too opening-roofs concealers By glass tops all the way the top; Massive crews dressed in black and blue- waking up from head knocks to tales" Journeys so we tell stories... The Sun and moon, Gold crowns and silver tiaras Man and woman: To kings and queens, Higher power and the sky full of thunder Stormy weather for beginners; High mountains for winners: Boys and girls playing swings and slides, The world of grades and higher states, Status for those cues... Straight line for those goals...! Long roads and tunnels, Coupes and trucks: carrying loads Of hard-work, deep slumber to hard-knocks, headlock to arm strong... Kneel, kneel, kneel for the world- Your Highness: your dreams, A weird tale, odd story since I have beaten the odds. What's the probability of prosperity?... Does the world define your fate or do you create your own destiny?... I shall ask Solomon.
