 Poetic-Verses

~~Layla, down to rest


~~a Devil came and spoke to an Angel..
He said, "What's the matter dear, can't you stand the sunlight?"
--When all of a sudden, there came the break of dawn..
And everyone, just had to make a run for it..
For you see, no one's wrong, if everyone is right..
No place like home, or so Dorothy thought so..
Just plain and simple country folk..
And if you happen to see my soul walk off with my skeleton..
Ask him kindly to remember my afterbirth..
--When all of a sudden, there came the break of dawn..
And everyone, just had to make a run for it..
Seeing me smile, it's just a lunatic out to lunch..
Nobodies home, except the cockroaches..they're here
because they like my Mother's Day egg salad sandwiches..
And my belly just keeps getting fatter, or is it just
my bowl haircut cost me Fifty Dollars, so why is it
that I have to give up my pleasure, all for the sake
of feeding the less fortunate..everyone I know
still likes to listen to Led Zeppelin,~~Crowley
spoke of Layla, way before Eric Clapton..
The aliens, the demons, the priests and the politicians..
All want to rule and control, and promise you 40 acres and a mule..
And only the smart guys know why, you really shouldn't even try..
To throw quarters at the Moon, and stare straight into the Sun..
Film at Eleven..
~~the end
