Everything’s a gamble
The odds are stacked against
Keeping soul in shamble
We’ve lost all common sense

All our life a ramble
There’s babble in the mist
Watching people scramble
It’s failure they persist

---

I’m too reactive
Like a radar through the traffic
Can’t break the habit

I’m highly explosive
Come with double doses
Truth is worthless

---

I mistook him for a comet
His words a midnight rocket
And how I watch it

---

I wish I knew where he resides
Is it out west?
Or under angry skies
Will I know if he ever dies?

---

Worry is doubt settling on top of crown
Between the clouds
But never lower than my head
Thicker than love and all the dead

---

What one man can do with a lie…
