Saving Lives
8/25/21
Either first or last in the waiting line
Continually I ache inside
I'm breaking ties
Over taking sides
Making strides
Day and night
A better way of life
Among changing tides
At my job, I've helped in saving lives
Meanwhile others still taking bribes
At times I followed a training guide
Amateurs and pros baking pies
Hard to concentrate
When it all leaves a bad taste
The enemy putting out the bait
And yet people continue to take
Got it all twisted, let's get it straight
For me it's hard to relate
I'm high in outer space
They're full of hate
Judging others by race
I've not been in a very great
Mind state and place
I want to elevate
And accelerate the pace
Anyway
Trying to stray
From the bull everyday
It's pathetic, and not okay
Honestly, seems to do no good to pray
Life goes on or terminates
For all lifeforms with or without vertebrae
It's true
Get a clue
This world is a zoo
It's nothing new
Hysteria over bird flu
Then Covid-19 came to
Little if any breakthrough
Meanwhile people stir the pot of stew
Causing endless drama to ensue
Humans treating others like poo
So caught up on who is who
Obsessed with YouTube
And if there is Bluetooth
All the while there was a doll used for Voodoo
