The Boy Is Not the Man.
The boy is not the MAN.
A boy is different in his youth
in his incorrupted ways of youth.
The MAN has been absorbed by his lack of time
and his dollar signs in place of eyes that he once had like boy.
Taking things from boy and filing them into dump
away from boy into the final dump.
Because he just cant see the heart of boy.
It means so much to the boy those stupid rocks?
he spent days and months just gathereing those rocks?
those rocks that I must just toss away?
What was boy thinking.
I just cant sell them
they will bring to me no whiskey.
What has boy done.
Pain is real pain no matter if it is real
or just imagined.
