The Lamest Legend

Because of what society has said
For the reason that there is no because
In light of what once was problematic
The fairness tragic. The drunkard sober.
The numberless inmate dares to say, "free".
A diseased harlot weakness fails to see
One careless mistake is done purposeful
Love nervousness makes vertically challenged
Words inside of meanings inside of words
Pain felt without the ouch that screamed out.

Balanced envy towards choiceless goal setting
And the dizziness that balance becomes

For staying out of trouble in trouble
And believing that prison respects that

A step back from what Kharma creates for
Then to observe why you reap what you sew

Famous infamy.  Famous heartlessness.
Blameless bigotry.  Blame that's targetless.
Speechless verbatim that speaks out of tune
The wackest reason brings the deepest truth...
