On Both Sides of the Equator
7/10/17
I'm going to still be a trailblazer
Going beyond all the acres
And glaciers
Above and below any crater
Similarities and differences on both sides of the equator
Events turning out minor and major
Waters with and without crocodiles or alligators
It was done realistically or through a simulator
Stairs, near and far from escalators
As well as elevators
People remaining loyal or becoming a traitor
Whether or not it had anything to do with paper
Objects beginning to wear and taper
Homes on and off the grid with or without generators
Please don't speak to me about any savior
The creator
Or so called 'maker'
And what you consider greater
Doing a lot of labor
And favors
I've been trying to help my loved ones, friends, and neighbors
While inside or out in nature
So much wiser and braver
I'm feeling like a gladiator
I've got to finish it now instead of later
Even if I put myself in danger
I'm not going to back down to any hater
Or instigator
Put you into place, with my foot on the accelerator
Close and beyond any chambers
Been feeling stranger
I'm not the best painter
For a long time I've been a gamer
Sometimes feeling like a failure
Near and far from strainers
And shipping containers
I'm not going to reach for any razor
Or stab anyone in the back with a sabre
