Residue

4/21/17


All humans made of bones and flesh it's true
Whether you do or don't have your whole life ahead of you
There's always going to be a test or two
During any treks we do
The sky ocasionally red and blue
At certain dates bills and rent is due
Objects straighter than an arrow or bent and skewed

Daily some using pharmaceutical meds and booze
And others that never do

Might've been at one point a friend to you
And now may be as good as dead to you

Better watch out before I pull off some tekken moves
With these lethal weapons you lose

By yourself or with a retinue

Focus on your own revenue
Work hard and eliminate any ineptitude

Among particles, debris and any residue
