Wasted Things
Cocaine
Marijuana
Ciagarettes
Motives of
the words
I'm going to speak
A motive for
Murder
Yea, its that serious
But why?
That's the only question
On my mind
Why waste your
beautiful smile
To gum disease
The ease of putting it down
Is not complex
Yet, it is just an 'x'
In the equation
You still can't seem to solve
Drugs + 'X' = You Determine The Outcome
Why...
Waste your talent
On Stage
To now all
the dead veins
in your brain
You can't say speak
Not for one simple sentence
Because your
Brain isn't as connected
To your mouth
But you can't
Preach words
Your concerns
So let me do
it for you
Why...
Waste your inspiring hands,
that you used to write poetry,
but also you used to pick up that ciagarette
But you see,
you lost that do to the
broken down nerves in the two fingers you used
Why...
Waste all of that
For one puff, one pass
Why...
Waste all of that to
Paste your life on
the platform, of your new life, death
