Redundancy

6/12/20 What time is it? It's time to get some money Think harder, Stop being a dummy Beating a dead horse, only the first time it was funny With me, don't try to get all chummy At one point, my life was crummy Now, I'm turning it around, working on recovery Whether cloudy, snowy, windy or sunny Feeling like I got more animals than human buddies My cup is always muddy I don't like my eggs too runny I'm into you girl, you're sweeter than honey Is it all going to end slowly or abruptly? For many, certain subjects are touchy To put it bluntly I desire a woman that will love me But how can I, if I'm a weed and alcohol junkie At times I've been fortunate or unlucky In a world, that can be beautiful yet also ugly I'm lonely, I'd like some company Too bad, I really thought she was the one for me Feeling strangely different, suddenly In the end, I aim to come out triumphantly I refuse to live a life of redundancy People just love to rant And leave their stamp I get relief from a plant To make up for all the love I lack The end result, could be lungs that are black I consider myself a decent chap Unlike all these other cats Many of which are whack Individuals still talking crap Just about everything they say is cap In a place so vast This life moves fast Far too long, I felt like an outcast And was downcast Now I plan to outlast Resources were scant On terrain at a slant My clothes and shoes got damp So I set up camp Before I'd need a lamp I weathered storms like a champ Never thought that " I can't" Eventually packed up and headed back With the help of a map It was a wrap Folks often vent About how things went Whether it turned out good or took a left All these presidents Continually spent You'd think it was for some event Maybe if I really meant To put forth one hundred percent I'd reach the furthest extent As things augment And orient Which is the overall intent By: Dalton Ogletree
