Take it slower by DAPPER

Click here to view dappers poetry I take it slower but every phase is turning its back on me I strive for happiness and it only comes back collapsing on me Shades are more impunitive materialistic chauvinistic Simple ain't simplest. But again the hardest task easy as ABC We don't struggle in the curicutters of life but only pretend to see The worst is out carefully picking the best and living these worst pieces to the meek Shut the doors, close the windows but let the vents wide open Cultural stupendous fallacious structures of seamlessly translatables fables shouting out loud Pain, lock out, darkness.  A sum of my eyes records bring out a delirious finding  A climb on a watch tower and spread the view and spectate Or take the bull by its horns and pin it down, Mexican cowboys charms won't work Out of ten stars I give you three Noo two Life is never sweet no one said it will ever be, let's create our fate Grind on the diabolical a...

Full of talent But cant make ends meet Qualifications are all met But the job you do not fit What again is neded? Yet the quacks have succeeded Is it money? Soo sweet than honey It flows in our veins Eats us up all,no remains With no conections your end begins It is that money that reigns Ooooh corrupt me!
