Unless You'Re a Bear

Some say that life is just around The corner, Some say that fun is just around The corner But unless you’ve been there yourself You wouldn’t understand the billboard Above the corner store. Although things change, it’ll surprise you What stays the same. What ghost appears & possesses you One second to the next. Barely visible labels taken down & replaced, Old rusted metal. A small reminder that things can & will be replaced. Just through the intersection, Just around the corner. Some say that things just aren’t The way they use to be. The news broadcasts certain events That take place under the billboard. A mans been shot five times & The police still haven’t responded. Unless you’re a bear wearing a headdress Wearing shades, & riding a dull grey bike. You’ll search for a place to belong too, Up high above on the billboard, Above the corner store. Unless you live on this side of town. You wouldn’t understand, Why he peddles the way he does
