Life seems slow
Seize every moment
A marathon is not the same
Competition a sprint is
The track of life is primed
For long distance
Funny thing it could be
Over in an instant
Make most of what you have
With what little time left
Can't make any of it back
Leave regrets in the past
Only thing struggle leaves
You alive or dead
Come out stronger
On the other side
My armor harbors harmony
Hardly harming me
Got to be Odysseus
Of the Odyssey
Psyching Cyclops
Focus don't get lost
With Locus eaters
Steer clear of Sirens
Shriek shrills to silence
Put me in a cage with a lion
Go in swinging
Come out
Fighting won't go quiet in the night
Stand tall in charge
Type of life I'm trying to lead
Knock me down a peg
I bounce right back keep flowing
Till my arteries close even then
My message will resonate
Consciousness concocted problems
At the top of the hour
News teleprompters prompt bias
Empower our emotions
Overdose on infomercials
About drugs known to hurt you
Doctors got you swallowing scripts
Making me nervous
Momma almost died
Prescribed some drug she was allergic
Should've robbed the doc for all he got
Nearly killing my mom
However
She decided not to pursue legal action
I was confused till she sat me
Down on the couch and tried to explain
Like Doc Z we all make mistakes
Forgive but don't forget
And never lose faith
Now let it marinate
