Black Snake


I saw a black snake twice in my dream
Exactly what his presence seemed to mean.
Escaping from the same place as mystery
Tell me why
Automatic killer coming from the dark side getting things done
Hillbilly style
I was fool caught off guard 
I had a shovel at my side
Murderer I went for the kill 
He slide away through a crack 
Beautiful Escape
Seconds later the slippery serpent came out again and hissed 
Again from the same area of my mind that teases black snakes
But words came to me instead of hiss

Somebody's life has passed them by so fast their head keeps spinning

You can't please everybody
Bring me all the green grapes apples and red wine
Save me from other people's illusions of life.

They can't see .....out their own window
Not escaping....... the darkness of their mind
They fill .................... pockets with polished coal
They would have been a candidate to send to war 
In disposed out of sync they plant flowers we are forced to ignore

It was going to be attack of the book worms
It was too much of a sore eyesight challenge
My snake does me right but fight I not enter fright I am sequestered,trapped by an disabling future a loss of wages working for pigs balls

I forget to make diagrams sketches of what I 
Mean 
While in Montreal, I was the lumber jacket superman
If I kept on acting like a fool
Id of crashed large and not made it passed 21
