Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

Predicament

6/30/21

Listen to this
Getting sick of it
This drink I'm always sippin' it
Does no good to be a chicken s***
Or hypocrite

What a predicament
An outcome is imminent
Nothing infinite

All these increments
It's gone beyond intricate
The spectrum was never equivalent

Another foolish idea they implement
Quickly calling it legitimate
With a signed certificate

So focused on the omnipotent
And whether guilty or innocent
Treating you like an instrument

Don't be insolent
Stay diligent
Work on something significant

Another participant
And new experiment
Leading to life long imprisonment

In abundance or limited
Deliberate or a coincident
Complex or primitive
Sober or off much more than Ritalin
Where are you girl
In this world
Lately, I've been considerate
And interested
In getting intimate

Feeling magnificent
Mind state past militant
As another citizen
It took discipline
The maximum not the minimum
An occasional stop in Michigan

Among all these specimens
Before I'm a skeleton
For my own benefit
And the Benjamin's
Always genuine
Did it off adrenaline
