Premium Member Drop the Reins and Pour Me a Drink

    The dog days of summer, certainly here
    Every half-hour, another shot of beer
        Too lazy to move
        I’m stuck in a groove
    Glad my new car doesn’t need me to steer

No need

Cactus needs no fence,                                                                                 No need reins to donkey,                                                                             Rich needs no degree.

Untamable

You stare into the abyss, 
And the abyss stares back. 

Take a look into my mind, 
Through every little crack. 

It's dripping from my finger tips, 
It's throbbing in my veins. 

The wild inside my bones, 
Won't stay tied up in your reins. 

If I let my poison pour, 
Let it gush out of my throat, 

I'll flood out your pretty kingdom,
And set myself afloat.

Premium Member Reins of Fate

When the reins of fate go slack And the wicked wind is at your back And you lift your head and smell the dew And there's no one near to trouble you When your eyes are wide And you're ready to ride Like a pony in the spring Like a falcon on the wing To follow your heart To make that new start When you've doubled your dues When you got nothing to lose That's when you know Your life has begun That's when it's time To make your best run

Handing Over the Reins

Handing over the reins is, of course,
Very rarely involving a horse.
It’s about the tradition
Of easing transition
Of power, with no show of force.

The expression is mostly applied
When a leader is stepping aside
And helps he who comes next
Not feel lacking or vexed
With all negative feelings denied.

Yet today, those same reins are held tight,
While the whole world is watching this plight.
It’s an ugly impasse
Lacking candor and class
Led by one who is driven by spite.
