I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired
of living day to day
without meaning or pay
Am I asking too much
if I say what career
after thirty plus years
Making it just barely
with the help of family
my ex-wife my girlfriend
Try as I might to crack
the secret to success
the code gets in the way
Ignorant of my lack
of knowledge in certain
fields I lack expertise
Real certification
as a poet requires
I open my deaf ears
Entirely to smoke
to whispers in the dark
to noise made by the wind
Deaf to the world of sound
I hear only the sky
the stars the ancient light
Ask and they will deceive
my most gullible mind
with games that never cease
Demand the truth and lies
rise like dandelions
despise their lack of wit
Mention the past like flames
to pass through memories
no one will recognize
Incriminate themselves
they choose to plead the fifth
whether or not they slit
Rooster's neck matters not
I must reshape the past
reconstruct a disguise
Even if I admire
their power from afar
it won't help win the fight
