PoisedtoFail
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I'm poised to fail -----------------------------
but it's hard to tell exactly ----------------
when things went wrong //////////////
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Probably comparative ---------------------------
in an explicit narrative ------------------------
but can't help but be worried ////////////
Depression is a state of mind ----------------
Just gotta fool the border patrol ----------
Just gotta manipulate my mindset //////
to cater to more subdued pleasures -----
The Amazon rainforest is 39% depleted -
The Earth's lungs are collapsing //////
The walls, shoddy build, continue in --
and give way to a new view of Sunrays
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Complex, but born ingrained and known.. -------
Like a friend calling on the phone ---------------
The ring is always the same ////////////////
But you sense it's a troubling call --------------
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Shadows are angles ----------------------
They are but brief moments -----------
of dulled sunshine ////////////////
They’re nothing but a light trick ----
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mathematically determine ---------------------
the highest likelihood -------------------------
of relating to vast amounts /////////////
of monetary & social influence -------------
Carry the 2. Do what you've to do ---------
Cha-ching. There you go //////////////
The answer to everything. Money --------
That little indiscriminate green paper -
Printed on the nicest machines //////
in unlimited quantities -----------------
to provide home furnishings ----------
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Celebrate an occasion -----------------------
like a full & dusty bottle of gin -----------
at the home of an alcoholic friend /////
