Laundry List of the Troubled Mind

Hello there friends and lovers
What lies will you spread about me
What fiendish things prance around in your mind
What devilish inclinations do you ponder
How far will you go with you declerations
How much do you hope to achieve
And how will you fair if by the end of this day,
You are not fairing at all
When does the graciousness give way to blackmail
When do endless lists become listless ends
When do men care to forget
If granted the power to destroy,
Would you take up arms against me
Why in all the earth and heaven
Why is all this so innert
Why are the seasons getting shorter
And why are my shoulders down there
This last resort you put me on
This pedestal you broke
This cretin who follows orders
This monster who doesn't want to
Give him candy and cigarettes
Pry the pipe from his fingers
If by the end he's angrier
It isn't just for show and tell
There will is another story there
In the middle of the asteroid field
In the midst of a train collison
In the minds of all those do-gooders
I was one of the do littles
Sitting idly by on the sidelines
Staring blankly into space
Keeping both ears wide and open
Caring not to bend the grass
Listening to the calls of wild fowl
Spying on birds with my glasses
Taking notes and eating them
Digesting all that was leftover
Formulating an idea and geting lost in the words
Keeping things in check long enough
To burn up the return receipt
Tampering with evidence
Just for tamperings sake
Just to say I could.
