Skirmish

6/5/17

Having separate decisions
And on our own missions

Seeing a different image
Me and boy got in a scrimmage
Like it was a privilege

Following or going against traditions
Whether or not believing in religions

On a planet with high gas emissions
And so many opinions

It may be unscripted
Or need to be encrypted

Not going to be the one who quitted
Or is getting continually outwitted

Going to always help kindred
Before and/or after dirt was sifted

Got into another skirmish
With those that didn't want to see me flourish
So earnest
To put me underneath currents
Or inside a furnace
But I was more than ready for any deterrents
And unwilling to give up on purpose
Above or below the Earth's surface
