IRONIC
On a lazy summer afternoon - in the year of 79
while trying to drown my sorrows - smokin dube and drinking wine
In the room burst my drunk father - and not much to my surprize, We got in a fight and I ended up - being pulled by the neck outside
And I found it quite Ironic - as he was choking off my air,
that it was then that I noticed just how sweet - was the smell of the Oregon air
so I took the time to ponder - while being drug down the front porch stairs
of how the sky looked so much bluer - as he was pulling out my hair
and how Ironic, was my last thought - before being knocked out by that rock
that I'd had to get beat - before being able to see
It really was a lovely day
while trying to drown my sorrows - smokin dube and drinking wine
In the room burst my drunk father - and not much to my surprize, We got in a fight and I ended up - being pulled by the neck outside
And I found it quite Ironic - as he was choking off my air,
that it was then that I noticed just how sweet - was the smell of the Oregon air
so I took the time to ponder - while being drug down the front porch stairs
of how the sky looked so much bluer - as he was pulling out my hair
and how Ironic, was my last thought - before being knocked out by that rock
that I'd had to get beat - before being able to see
It really was a lovely day

Thank you. I guess it comes down to choice. The choice of rising above or the choice to fall under it all.

It's a been too long since I saw one of your poems on my updates, it's good to see you back. You still know how to hammer home some of the harsher realities, you really don't know what you've got until it's gone.

It's nice to be back. I'm a bit stuck on the writing thing. I thought I'd come back read others poetry and maybe it will help me to find my pen again.
And thank you.

How mortal peril can concentrate the mind in what might be your last moments on earth, but turned out otherwise.
