Gone Too Far

by @declan-mills

Buddha’s at the bar Skulling pints and starting fights And causing war. Gone too far. His life isn’t real It’s just a dream Of those in need Like you and me. We’ve gone too far. Sonar stones are thrown Across a street And running feet Are running Home. Homeless Bones. Kids are telling fibs About his nibs in No.3 Who never sleeps and lives alone. Home alone. Buddha’s makin’ sense About the tense unhappy men Who drink in bars And write on walls and smokes cigars. But we haven’t time To clean and shine. So up we get And dodge our debts And place our bets And close our eyes. All will be fine... Hope it’s fine.
