Chap you better
straighten out
before you reach
the pearly gates

That's the thing
my parents
my friends
and lovers often said

See I'm not
that deep pocketed
man that any
lady wants to date

Just a raw
average looking
gentleman
they want to see in bed

And it's not
much of a wonder
there's only two things
that I've got straight

My ******
orientation
and the endless
thoughts in my head

But before you start
pointing fingers
or blaming this
on fate

Or thinking
that not knowing
what I want at 24
is a little too late

You have to
sit with me
Meditate
Articulate

Know that what
matters most to me
is my family and friends
and food on our plates

And all the world
is a friend
means I only wish for peace
and an equal share of bread

Yes, I differ a little
but I'm just like you
Cut me open
I still bleed red

And when time ends
and the world stands still
Just like you
I too will be lying dead
