In hindsight, I’ve always kept my mind right,
I only lose sleep at night over the that I write,
it’s like the weight on Atlas’ shoulders, are you hearing what this rap is,
a fight against the controllers, modern day john the Baptist,
but I ain’t selling a savior, it’s too late for later,
my labor of love, Ep the revelator,
takin my time, like im taking in drugs, chill Doug,
never underestimate the evil that man do,
and never take on more than you can handle,
I got a weed based diet, along with scripting the ill ,
I am the Ecliptic, sun worship, if it don’t rhyme, don’t force it,
spray cans on the brain, Ramo on the train tracks,
’s never been the same as way back,
people fade, the brain finds a new pathway to explain,
why the fuk life is how it is,
society is aimed at making you feel powerless,
9-5, ain’t that some ,
but you do what you have to when your passionate,
Randy Orton pose like a statue, Ricky Morton arm drag,
I’m opposed to the fascist posing radical, I’m burning els with Cobra Command and Zartan,
they say I thyme like an animal, I say I’m more of a sage, ageless stoic,
but I put it down nice, that’s the meaning of a poet.

I did not have much of a thing with mosquitoes. That is until we visited
a famous plantation home on the Cape Fear river near Wilmington,
North Carolina one summer. We were especially excited to view
Orton Plantation's extensive flower gardens.
But, soon as we all climbed out of the car. we were attacked by black
clouds of the insects even though we had on repellent. We ran back to the car
with my young nephew crying and screaming, "We're not going to ever come
back here, are we?"
So ended that memorable trip covered with hundreds of itchy bites.

Powerful images
Of sound mind sanity clear
but the body is dying end it here
To this end there shall be an end
Final thoughts out in the open
In a calm submissive place
This little blue house
self-assisted we shall wait...
(I wrote this after watching a very powerful documentary on youtube called: Terry
Pratchett, choosing to die. If you can watch it, as it's unique and a subject that
while frowned upon should be discussed more and not just swept under the rug.
This documentary had me in tears and I cried and cried and then I wrote this, I
intended to write more but looking at it now I feel it says enough it doesn't need
depth and multiple paragraphs the message is simple and clear.)

And I'm shivering for now I'm too cold
and I'm feeling I'm already too old
this train is going nowhere fast but I can't get off it
the sun is burning bright in my eye
and I know that all I can do now is try
but with this fear of failure in the back of my mind
I think Im scared
the age of Orton over
but the age of Ipod living on
I know I am not always right
but at least I admit when I am wrong
unlike you
and this train is yet to stop
it keeps moving on the tracks of time
forever will I also run
to leave my past behind
