Oxygen Has a Lottery for My Breath

Just Sharing

When I sneeze on my sunglasses
the clouds stand back all shock
thunderstorms try and catch my hook
false friends kneel by

Pat my puppies
I calm barks of hurricanes
keep them on leashes
dropping rains as if lessons

Iron bars rust with ages
selfish brains kept contained
small roots grow into branches
if watered
my greatness made unaltered

Wanna hear it
I'll dilute it for you to make it sweet
and hit like a treat
but poison dance with these feet

An aura that tears make up from faces
so I can see their faces
come at me I'll leave you needing braces
for ya face and legs
leave wind fearing where it treats

Feet land with purpose
stampedes rotten curses
unwritten forgotten verses

Salt and pepper shake
no ill intentions
I have manners
always pass the salt
remember my verse

Blue and orange
with a twist of enemies I made into donor
see what I did there
rotate you like a Turk
but Greeks I do honour
Macedonians are the heroes of a heart

My morning breath warms Russian winters
two cats thinking tigers lay by my feet
try and arrest this sleep
and they will come at your feet

When I cry lakes dry out and furrow
and take with them my worries and sorrows

Oxygen has a lottery for my breath
even when I am at rest

Bitches sit back
race car
as I ride others follow my track
speed so fast don't have to look back
the present has a hard time keeping track

Tick tock
can't measure a rhythm
that has no measure

Science come on keep up
I'll give you a try keep up
doing well little one
now fuck off
I'll lap you as I pat you
and grab your bitch on my next lap
put her on my lap

The solar system will clap
Helios dims to honour this chap
black holes clap clap
carnival cruises
leave supernovae with bruises

Bar men wait and sit back as I pour my ink
top it up with a rainbow coloured wink
makes philosophers think
is perfection possible to trace
answers now

As I said the present can't keep up
ignorance that dared strut up in a dock
tick tock can't keep up
my pen's too fast
leaves no trace
air tries to keep up
to give me a mother's embrace

My wisdom makes tombs turn to sand
eruption curses rhythms reverses
molten corpses
wanna come back to life to worship my puppies
keep them like trophies

I killed the devil as I slept
accidentally
as if a flick a gnat from my apple
fucker always wanted another taste
so I left him to waste

Greek gods fear moods
I tear into their codes
