James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Wild Side-

When I awaken in the morn
I am thankful I am born
I have chosen 
To walk on the wild side

on occasion  involving adventurism
I might think bout jez fer a second
or incident involving risky, or morally questionable behavior

Then I think to myself
Hey!
Wait ain’t naw mis-behaving

As I go through the day
I should have prayed
But God and His guardian angels have….

Placed a hedge of protection
Round me
Walk down these streets
Could be killin me

When I stare at the sun I view
A glare sight being taken
When I speed in my car, do donuts
Walk on ice slip and fall
Guess I’m just walkin on the wild side

Just livin in this day
Whether or not I pray
Breathing this old air, drinking this water
Just being alive in the dispensation of time
I am taking a walk on the wild side
