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
