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
