Woe Is Me

the past is past and the now can't last time flies fast and the stones i've cast make the future a suture on the scars of the present in this kingdom of kings, i'm a peasant it's not pleasant my castle is ramshackle, in the woods my sceptre a stick from a tree i'd change the world if i could it's hard enough being me i follow a meandering path stepping aside to avoid wrath but only into a puddle of pee oh, woe is me bad luck, or no luck,often dumbstruck head lice, rats, mice, a dog in my bed dreaming of loveing a woman instead this is really not the way don't really know how to say this... i guess i'm busy braiding rope getting stronger as it gets longer, i hope i'll not tie a noose yet not willing to let darkness overcome

It sounds like you've realy been going through some rough times, Solomon. Put down that rope and search for the woman of your dreams. Keep the faith and darkness will not overcome you! Best wishes, Carolyn
