I take pride In jeopardizing my life Unlike monopoly I have one die In life At a time I The lucky spender Received a splendid surprise The sublime arrived Just in time On the night Before destruction
Yes, There is a bit friction In this business Non-fictional character Rises in the author I wrote The book of the dead And spread knowledge On earth’s bed
Now, I’m denied credit For risks taken Instead of a praise Appraised For my edgy ways And found Guilty of pleasure
I’m In debt With the angels Who lent me The soul makings And sent me On a mission Which remains Unaccomplished In their vision
I am Sole proprietor In this business I have no relations Trust none My inquisition Seems superstitious When you unravel My unreal supposition But suppose For a minute That you were in The opposed position And posed With the mind of a menace Who, sadly, Never stepped In the shoes of sanity
Society views your life As a stain On earth’s plain Though, your pain Seems self-sustained You were born Insane Would be better off If offered removal But awful is often Sought In the eyes Of vile beholders
The unnamed soldier Is the truest Of them all Marching down The broken road To destiny
