Turning the Table
7/8/21
"Turning the Table"
Heads or tails
Success or failed
It's just what life entails
Overhead money and infinite power being dangled
People quick to tangle
Then strangle
And mangle
Under a banner that is star spangled
Is there such things as demons or angels?
Turning the table
And looking at it from another angle
It was accurate or mislabeled
Rents been due since April
Recently they cut off the cable
And now am down to the last bagel
There has been so much betrayal
Life becoming too painful
Folks getting unstable
No longer faithful
Turning hateful
Doing things that are shameful
And distasteful
Got to set the bar if your able
Because a lack of effort through life is wasteful
Especially while knowing it eventually turns fatal
Life moves fast, so why travel at the speed of a snail
Humans being far too ****
And often telling fables
Being the one to the tip the scale
