Out of Hand

7/7/21

Just a sample of who I am
Experienced hardship firsthand
Not a sham
They say never bite the hand
That feeds
Yet there is continual greed
Across the land
It's gotten out of hand

Never went according to what was planned
Feeling damned
And stuck in quicksand

Occasionally in wonderland
And unable to understand
This is not just another fad
It all goes full circle like a rubber band

Took a stand
Opposition was not a fan
And they wanted to kill a man

Doing bad
Going mad
Heartbroken and sad

Gave it a stab
Threw a jab
And took a dab

Spent a tad
Of time at the pad
It all really wasn't that rad

As a man
And easy-going lad
Never been part of any clan

Used to ride the tram
Always lived below a dam
Occasionally sprayed a dish with PAM
And ate lamb
Or yam
Rarely ever was it SPAM
Or toast with jam

Was in the front, middle or back of the caravan
Did or didn't use the pineal gland
As I stood still or ran

F*** you and your scams
You'd best scram
Or you'll need a bedpan
If you're not already a dead man

Going ham
Burning through dabs and grams
Then hitting grand slams
Like a madman
Or else it all goes down the trash can
