Whats a child to do in town that hasn't a clue
of what to make of these common mistakes
and has a hard time dividing whats false and true
perhaps a "Mac-job" will summon the beast
that tempts the child to sacrifice the feast
in which all his hard work will abandon the table
in search of others who are willing and able
to commit and submit to slave-wage salvation
to distant the dream of Floridian vacations
so instead play the hand, you foolish young man
dont forget to leave your finger prints
retire to the coast, did you remember to boast
of your new life in the letters you sent
"come one ,come all..i'm having a ball
,does my daughter speak often of me
the only father she'll know, is in a faded photo
and isn't welfare such a luxury?"
Such a foolish foolish boy
you've surrendered your toys
let your name slip into the station
now they'll have your head, or your freedom instead
a second chance at an incarcirated education
and how do you plan to survive in a place
where Darwinistic views are the extreme
no more a faded photo will your daughter know you though
but instead as a plate glass dream
i really like this one. it makes me want to run far away and have my feet setting off into a tiny sea at dusk.
thank you for letting me read your writings
they are beautiful.
