Still payin' my debt I suppose...


Poem Artwork

The Writers Toll…

 

So life does go on,

Another day, another habit gone,

Each day I do profess,

I have more to the gods to confess…

 

Done my time, out on parole,

No longer will someone else me control,

I can or not smoke a bowl,

I paid back for the virginity I stole…

 

No bows do I make,

My life then was on the take,

I try not here or anywhere to be fake,

Maybe I should just go take a flying leap into a lake…?

 

Yes I did pay my toll,

For what I stole,

Perhaps that is why Santa does now bring me coal,

Still paying back on my karma,

Someday I will be paid up to date, that is now my goal…

Fine poem Ed !
We makes our bumps, and we takes our lumps
and nobody cares if we go jumps, so don't
get into any slumps,you have to learn
to play the trumps,and stay out of the dumps!

Giggles!!
