Hard Case ~ Friday, 6 July 2018

Too cool to admit you act like a fool
on the street where you beat a brazen path
otherwise see here your false demeanor

Casts a shadow wandering like a cloud
overhead following your every step
on your face you wear cream pie a tough guy
looks as if looks could kill but what a joke

Take a look in the mirror all you see
on the surface is your lack of concern

As looks go this one fits your persona
deny the facts you feel you hurt inside
master of repression one day you'll burst
into bits and pieces grenades explode
thankful to end this life without a thought

Yet the earth still spins in endless circles
over the years you grow older still life
under your strict command rules your actions

Ask yourself if you like playing the fool
cool tries too hard to fit inside the gang
tries to lead without the skills to achieve

Limp as a wet bar towel left to ring out
in your own eyes you walk as if you could
kiss or kill at any moment too spent
even to appear like you own yourself

Ask yourself if you know how to control

Facts like fiction characters in a play
on the stage you learn how all the players
only play the role they were asked to act
left to your own devices you'd be king
