It's just for practice. Made for perfect.
Clock the time, that's for working.
Play the game call it sporting.
Mail it in, importing.
Pressing concern, important.

New start, go slow first.
Move forward don't use reverse.
Is it poetry or a spitted verse?
I'm feelin hurt I need a nurse.
It's not bad luck but I'm still cursed.

High walls, barbed wire, chain link fence.
Prison walls, jail cell, sins repent.
Statistics. Ballistic. Sadistic.
To pick, someone so different.Someone so sick.
My condition is not terminal but I still caught the bus
I need this scholarship In God I Trust.
