Unearthly
1/4/21
Unearthly
Remaining sturdy
Holding on firmly
Continuing the journey
Pacing myself or in a hurry
Subsiding any worries
In a world full of controversy
The waters have been getting murky
And the lines are becoming blurry
People are violent or begging for mercy
Often being herky-jerky
And far too thirsty
Why do you always got to be dirty? (in the head)
You're always late and never early (since way back when)
Don't call another unworthy
Have a little more courtesy
Before being on the gurney
I'll always remain friends with animals that are furry
And all the little birdies
As well as all the other lifeforms that scurry
While I'm getting closer to the age of thirty
Not a single thing I can't die without
See for yourself, if you want to find out
What life's about
During any kind of drought
Whenever you want, can't just call a time-out
Because you did the wrong thing, for you it may be lights-out
From poor decisions, you can often strikeout
At the lower, middle or higher ground
The body aging and winding down
Any day now, I'll be dying now
While I'm alive, enjoying it, with smiles and frowns
