Someday

Taking my pictures in the rain

Have I just gone insane?

Gotta get on that hell bound train

Look out! You’re swerving in that lane,

It must be that emotional pain

That inevitable memory in my brain

Oh no! It’s another imaginary viral strain

Got teargas for the next socialist campaign,

In better days it was just a passing phase

A way to stave off this creeping malaise

You might wonder at my far off gaze

Think I discovered where the Devil plays,

All strapped into my ejection seat

Going to dogfight with the combat elite

Scanning my screen trying to find the enemy fleet

Damn! I’m plunging down another air to air defeat!

Pulling my rip cord and seeing the open canopy

That was close but now I’m free

Oh no! The bogie has spotted me

Tracer bullets coming my way what a colorful thing to see,

This game of life that we play

Sometimes happily colored but often gray

Who is the hunter and who is the prey?

When you answer you sound dismayed,

What a beauty with her flowing hair

All along you thought she truly cared

But, once she got you snared

Tears were the only thing you shared,

Oh what’s the problem? Don’t you know?

Love on planet earth just doesn’t grow

All the years you toiled what do you have to show?

Try not to shoot yourself in the toe,

The image of man the same as God

Just one problem mankind is a fraud

Isn’t it strange and a little odd?

Someday we all end up below the sod.
