Sometimes I'd love to be in a better world rather than stuck here.

Hello mother,
hello father,
here I am in this world of rather.
I'd rather be in a nicer place,
one that would keep a smile on my face.
Some joy in my heart,
right from the smack on the azz start.

Instead I'm here roller coaster riding,
happiness and sadness dividing.
I'd rather be happy all the time,
but that's a fantasy that won't sublime.
I know better than sad,
some edumacation I've had.

Life has surely taught,
don't get stuck in a drought.
Learn to fight for what's good,
like a termite goes after wood.
Take the fight to the enemy attacking,
and don't get caught slacking.

But I've been slacking around,
stumbling toward the ground.
I stay above water swimming,
but I'm just barely skimming.
Lately I've been thinking,
I'm almost sinking.

I'd rather stay up,
than to be down corrupt.
But this game of life is winning,
I'm getting old and my hair is thinning.
I figure sooner or later,
I'll be with the potatoe.

One
