I wish
For life simply to be funish
Not all the way fun
Sometime after self-punishments done
I need to polish my life like a hunter cleans his gun
My pheasant run is tomorrow
The game is sorrow
My brow is wet with anticipation
The temptation of future elation
Though life is not only my creation
It seems as if I’m only responsible for the sanitation
My sanity during situations
And the calamity of realities vacations
No worries
It fun to scurry around
Blurry futures abound
Rebounding from loosing the crown
More stunting than it sounds

Obligations are such an important factor in this life
While not trife, they lead me to wonder whether I’ve chosen them right
Now that they exist I cannot even fight
Instead I write to sooth my internal flashing emergency lights

Amazing!! So much energy and clearness in this, I caught my mind reading it to me in a rap-fashion(!?). Lines as playful as life itself, and a subject I've been stuck with in the past few weeks.
Just remember to enjoy Now, all the polishing in the world won't make it brighter.
Enjoyed greatly

Pops,
thanks for the response. I do listen to a lot of Hip Hop, which I'm sure influences my writing. I'm a happy guy, really, but I seem to write only when I have some internal conflict. Funny how that works.... I've got a bunch more of my work to post on here, but 3 a day's all they allow... Keep an eye out for me and I'll do the same for you. Thank you again. E.
