Styrofoam

1/27/21 "Styrofoam" It's not hormones, testosterone Or Pheromones I was at the crossroads Moved towards what was familiar or unknown Never did any good to postpone I can really feel it in my bones Nearby all these Madrones Time has shown In and out of all these biomes The elements shaping the land and stones Hung up the phone Then came the dial tone I've sinned, and I've atoned I regressed, and I have grown Sippin’ out of Styrofoam In and out of different tidal zones Had to get it on my own It almost always was homicide if their was a broken Hyoid bone It was always kept a secret or widely known They're really focused on drones And clones Yet they also want to continually probe And spy on the entire globe Was close to the cosmos As well as the locker of Davy Jones From here to Nome Always been a rogue After the motherlode Sometimes I was on paved streets, or often I was on dirt roads Staying composed Solving problems with or without the use of codes Before the doors are closed Meanwhile, people still having continual episodes Got it done smoothly, or I just bulldozed Those That attempted to oppose And stick their nose Into my business, that's a no Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe Catch a tiger by the toe Took them out with the undertow Quickly they sunk below Or by going blow for blow A.K.A. Toe to toe The same could be said for many, including so and so The flesh and organs beginning to decompose Food for insects, vultures and crows It's not a hoax Did the least or I did the most Put it out there or was a ghost Got it done easily or cut it close It's gross Far too often was comatose Because I overdosed Couldn't stop myself, or follow advice from my folks I know, what a joke Even though I've been woke I couldn't stop my addictions, or say "Adios!" More than just words being wrote It'd do you some good to take note Humans at each others throats Quick to gloat And to go right for the throat Especially over your affiliation and how you vote I either did or didn't have a rain coat Humans quick to find a scapegoat We either were or were not in the same boat Stood sturdy like an oak Behind continual clouds of smoke And enough alcohol to make a moat So that a boat could stay afloat
