Ode To Immortality
I come into this world wanting so much
But expecting so little
Puzzling days revealing
That life’s a riddle
Getting played like a fiddle
Because many are ignorant
Slow at life
With a goal of belligerence
Constituents
Are becoming a nuisance
Telling sugar coded lies
When we know they’re translucent
We got a problem Houston
Celebrity suicide attempts
People are crazy
Even when it’s sunny outside
People are still shady
But it’s amazing
As result of my craving
I can still rhyme about
Someone else’s misbehavings
I haven’t said enough
But I have said plenty
My goal in life is to be
Immortal in the minds of many
Those fat and skinny
Those short and tall
Those young and old
I want to be remembered by all
Frequently asked questions
Of how and why?
I tell them I talk about the hidden topics
And don’t ever lie
Then I’ll never die
Even after I pass
I’ll live on in the mind
That’s where I’ll be located
And that’s where you’ll find
Me, myself
And a poet calm as weather
And that’s is how
I will live on forever.
