Shady Partner


I don’t know how you thought it was going to be,
 when you took all that money from me.
 But I was in the business of business and not in charity.
  But you took it anyway,
 because you thought that you could.
It didn’t matter whether you should,
 it was whether I understood,
 and I didn’t.
 And you knew it,
 and took advantage while I couldn’t see through it.
I may be slow,
 but I’m a deep thinker .
And you may be fast,
 but you’re just a back ally slinker.
 Now that I’ve seen what you’re about,
 yeah I’ll still work with you,
 but that bullshit about being partners,
 that shit is out.
 The fact is while you’re staying up late trying to get laid,
 I’m working in the lab just trying to get paid.
 I wish you’d have shown me the integrity that I needed,
 sitting here now I just feel defeated.
 But now I’m planning and I know
 you’ve got to be scanning.
But it’s too little too late.
 You screwed me and you won’t cheat fate.

Scribbler


Scribble little pen scribble
Thoughts are brittle,
They break if not supported,
They can be twisted, contorted,
Inaccurately reported,
defiled and deported,
They must be recorded,
lest they fade to formless grey.
So scribble little pen scribble,
save the moment, the memory,
forget the sophistry, remember the sensory,
remember it existed,
don’t become enlisted,
 in the false light,
that just might,
erase the thought you scribbled today.
