Pieces Aren'T Fitting
5/16/22
I helped others and put myself in danger
There I stood by a manger
Weighed down with an anchor
Full of anger
About to put one in the chamber
Because of far too much rancor
In this world it's become unfamiliar and more stranger
No more capers
For the remainder
I'll keep a razor
And a weapon with a laser
Always seeking answers, not just being a stargazer
I don't care if you got a hard edge like a sabre
Or if you're soft as a wafer
Knock you down a peg or 2 with my wits, fists or a taser
Quickly turn you to only vapors
Heart turning colder than a glacier
Sick of doing others favors
And having so many neighbors
I need space and more acres
In the city and out in nature
No today is not the day sir
Don't got time for haters
Sooner or later
The impact will be minor or it shall be major
She just think's I'm a loser and a player
I don't believe in prayer
Can't force the hand of one that will not waver
They try to peel back the layers
I take off like Speed Racer
Sending shots out toward all ya'll fakers
F*** all the billboards
And awards
You've been warned
Sharper than a thorn
To a peculiar accord I am sworn
I carry on with a sword, fighting against any horde
Occasionally feeling torn
Near fields of corn
The insects came in swarms
Went through all kinds of storms
It's all taking shape and form
But so very far from the norm
Many quick to sound the horn
Before they even know what is in store
From it all, I'm still getting bored
Little if anything satisfies anymore
Most just think I'm out my gourd
They're abhorred
Crying out "Oh Lord!"
Makes me want to snore
Or drive my Ford into a Fjord
In the end, I'll meet you at the morgue
Just kidding, until I'm no longer living
In a world that can be corrupt and unforgiving
What the is missing?
Something still but the puzzle pieces aren't fitting
