You See Nothing Sinister
You See Nothing Sinister
Written By: D. Collins 3/11/15
You see nothing sinister, allowing it to get up close.
Which means you haven’t been listening, and took it as a joke.
Your game can’t compete with what’s out here in the world.
To most of us still standing, you’re but a little girl.
Yeah! You might say you know, and that you are grown.
A whole lot took place while you were stuck at home.
It is not your fault getting married at nineteen.
Now you’re prey, and showing signs of being green.
I’ve got your back, ‘cause that’s what big brothers do.
But, you must open your mind before I can educate you.
You see nothing sinister when it is right in your face.
You see nothing but good in the human race.
Well, I am here to tell you, it’s nothing like what you see.
People changed during your long term matrimony.
Think of sharks in the water, and you just fell in.
And, your only salvation is through your natural kin.
