I screwed a lot of pooches
And dropped too many balls
I fumbled and I stumbled
Missing all the wake up calls
I got high on lead balloons
And badly crashed and burned
At length I came to nothing
Flouting lessons never learned
I routinely missed the mark
And fell flatly on my face
I blundered and I floundered
Fluffing off each self-disgrace
I executed poorly
And rolled way too many dice
By and large I came to know
Only love's what cuts the ice
Oh, show me the ugliness of power wielded wickedly,
I'll witness the brutal man's tyrannically violent eyes
A poem of redemption,
proof it's never too late
to Bob Marley our arse,
in positive accentuate!
being a poet 'tis easy
admitting you're one
manifested my truth
now penning poetry,
twins in old shallow
farewell to you fools!
My heart 'tis giving in!
thinner becoming thin
oh Buddha path I'm on
glad hearts sing along!
The things I loved the most
Turned out to go so wrong
And then chagrin set in
My fate a rough-hewn song
The bad moves never stopped
Of this the truth is stout
And here's the brutal news
My heart is giving out
The things I tried to do
Did not last very long
And then life went awry
My flaws a pounding gong
The damage has been done
Of this there is no doubt
And here's the simple truth
My heart is giving out
The Coconut Brothers lounged 'pon the Asian Sea,
cannabis infused coconut oil summoned intellect
playing chess eliminated idle thoughts of trouble!
Father had his time
Mother had hers too
Now we're having ours
Nothing we can do
On and on life goes
Genesis to doom
Make the most of it
Waltzing womb to tomb
Birth is a piebald prize
A fantastic freebee
beating all baffling odds
Life is a far-out ride
A whimsical windfall
blooming fresh goldenrods
Death is a wanton woe
A frightening fate
betting on fabled gods
Where heaviness becomes weightlessness
as nothingness manifests away my reality
'tis where I'm near, waiting for everything!
I'm an enthusiast, nothing particular
more of everything totally testicular!
I fly by my ass as an out-of-box man,
curving in need and learning as can!
