Symptoms

Whatever happens when days counted as weeks?

And years counted as astrological countdowns

What ever happened to disco rap battling drums?

On streets filled graffiti and sand castles

Whatever happens to shoes with no laces?

And bras with no straps

Backpack ladybugs with taps

Bell bottoms Montreal

Sweden Russia Columbia streets

Backward aimed down guns strictly meant for

Cisco band operative thieves

Whatever happens to justice stringing down a cubical wall?

Hanged down gavels London has fall

Lint brushed suits and gated Citadels

Bells ring time church broken pulpits spill

What ever happened to make up brushing Mack trucks?

Highway in France

Long stroking discipline Chinese to Japan

Whatever happened to words screaming off a page?

Sandy still beat breathing cells covered backward again

What happened to life metaphoric acronym?

Made fun of stage left to mend

Jokes to tell anchors to sail

What happened to the decrease in operating jail to sale?

What happened man made fictional crap

Backsliding genocide and presidents’ mysteriously vanish

What happened is told with a story that has no end?

Stopped up water turned brown cased in a sprite river bend

What happened what happened if the time was not set?

It will be broken and told to lie up a case with no Chef

No knife no swords

The word would not be told

What happen to happen?

Happen has caught a cold!

Some say that eveything happens in cycles, I say that experiences cause us to fall back to be able to advance. Much strength in your pen.
