Swim Or Sink While I Live and Think

7/27/16 Found some inner peace But the outcome was rather bitter sweet Out in the woods where the timber creaks And many critters sleep Nearby a place where several rivers meet Realize not all have a bite of dinner to eat And that sometimes a winner cheats The news was delivered by speech And was considered bleak Inside of clean and littered streets Here no swiffer sweeps While close and far from Winter's reach I'll ask you now, what spoils does the victor reap? A forgotten bottle of liquor leaks And in the floor it was quick to seep During Halloween trick or treat I'll either swim or sink While I live and think By: Dalton Ogletree
