Tarnation

7/27/17


Going into light and dark places
With a steady pulse or as my heart races

What in tarnation
I see so much greed and starvation

Here to change the world
Whether or not using objects that are straight or curled
I'll still give it a whirl

Maintaining composure
It's far from over
But getting closer

Similar and varying degrees
The will to succeed
Knowing I shall bleed
I won't give up so long as I can still breathe

In and out of orbit
This is no horseshit
I'm not going to forfeit
I'm all game for it
Whether or not I have to use a forklift
