Is it going to be the low, high, wrong or right path?

Something I've grasped

You can't get any time back

Days and nights just might pass

Quite fast

The weather and intentions of people colder than ice packs

Humans kill and fight over cash

Just like that

In more or less than five flat

How quickly some will put a knife in your back

Trying to set you up in some kind of trap

Regardless of if it leaves all ties slashed

Too many have little to no regard for life and laugh

And it is not by chance


Sometimes due to a leak in a line of gas

Explosions caused after one striked a match

Usually causing damage and a bright flash



Medicines made by plants

Occasional ocean waves with white caps


Vague and very well defined maps

Crude and fine crafts

Dotted, single colored and striped hats

Near and far from spice racks

As well as any spyglass or wine glass



There was different types of bats

Inside a mineshaft

A sack of rice sat

Ending up becoming a nice snack

For several sighted or blind rats


A house with orange, grey , black and white cats

And nine mats

Several windows ajar so there is a slight draft

In the sky photographed

Another unidentified craft

Not going to give this a timestamp

While using a stihl trimmer to slice the grass
