Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

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
