True Nature

3/20/16

Damn you haters
And the rude behaviors
Always upset when another is able to do greater
Must just be in your true nature


You wouldn't last against a Tomb Raider
Or any kind of crusader
You'd quickly be soon in danger
And meet your doom later

As a matter of fact, 
Speaking of that
If you didn't, you'd probably want to crawl off with all of the loot traitor
But that wouldn't fly, and would get you tossed out into waters filled with more than a few gators

And if that doesn't work, take you out with toxic fumes and vapors
During the dark of the night, while so very far away from anyone of the moon's craters

In the newspapers
And over the horizon always lies a new danger
Some of which were tooth breakers
And youth takers
Others faded away and grew fainter

Over the heads of shoemakers
Shroom takers
Midnight and afternoon bakers
And several soothsayers

Thank you James! I've dibbed and dabbled a time or two myself
