Like A Trainer Of Cats Rap

by | Jul 20, 2019 | Poems

I need a gig
To make some scratch
I wanna do it
To the max
But which direction
Where’s the tracks

And where’s the clues
I thought I knew
Just what to do
But yesterday
I got the news
And just since then
I’ve been confused
F’it wasn’t me
I’d be amused
But since it is
Now what’s the move

I ask my Mom
I ask my friends
This vicious cycle
Never ends
Am I a bum
Or’m I a business man
And what’s the business
Where’s the plan
Or should I just
Work for the man
But if that happens
I’ll be damned
That’s what I say
That’s where I stand
I got the cards
I played the hand
So turn them up
Let’s see
My man

When changes come
Things well be done
I don’t know
What they’ll be
I wish I had
A crystal ball
To solve
This mystery
Or see ahead in time
Somehow
To know the future
Here and now
And take a load
Off of my mind
To know that I’ll survive
This time

Just like the last
And this will pass
And I’ll be thankful
God will laugh
And life goes on
Just how it does
But doing what’s
The question, cuz

Or maybe I’ll pull money
Right out of my ass
Right there on stage
Like a trainer of cats
I can just see it now
What a show that would be
I wouldn’t charge cover
I’d do it for free
Everyone in the crowd
Would all watch with glee
And I’d give them the money
And then they’d feed me
So I’d shit more money
And we’d all live for free

Things Fall Apart

Things Fall Apart   Things fall apart That were once so beautiful That it hurts to look back But they had to fall apart So something better Could be built in their place And if you focus only on the possibilities Then it is a good thing That things fell apart...

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence They've never won They've never lost They've never cried They've never felt joy Or pain   They've never had a family Or a dog Or a best friend   They've never felt anything Or seen anything Or heard anything They've never tasted the best meal...

Waves of Change

Changes are coming Hard and fast Like giant waves One after another Ready or not Here they come Hold your breath And get ready to go under And just when you come up for air Another one comes Before you're ready And you're back under water again Holding your breath...
