Hard work

Commitment

Fulfillment of obligations

Laid out straight

While the days fade away

No note rehearsed

Doesn’t resound

In some place

Some moment

Even when hope itself

Seems dim

The most ardent

Dedication

Will win

Swing away for the sky

Hit it hard

Hit it high

Along the path

Of a lonely road

Held up with a distant

Drone

Swing away in these times

Swing away with your final

Dime

Untitled treasure

In a chemical wasteland

Can I even understand

A land

That goes well beyond

My own years

My own tears

Made up

Makeup

Destroyed

Untitled treasure

No way to measure

With a single hand

Head up fingers down

Pressing button sound

Keeping it rolling

One more time

One more rhyme

Or beat

Or anything really

Just keep it rolling

On down the street

Vibe right

Vibe left

What is left

When the vibe is gone

All night long

Heard in a song

Vibe right

By my side

I know a determined experience

I have lived it

In my own right

What I know

What I have done

Focus helps keep

A narrow drive

To harness energy

For one’s side

A determined experience in this life

Just working hard

And hoping to do it right

Undesirable

Is understandably

Underwhelming

Unlikely to find others

Wanting of such numbers

Aberrant arranged

Veered off and strange

Undesirable and Aberrant

Is where we are today

I am not sure

Nor am I aware

We are off our course

Where we head now

I am scared
