Ride Alone

Little kid wonders if he is destined to ride alone
he is far from his family, his friends and his home
on his own- alone- left to roam in his own ‘dome’
didn’t realize what he really lost was his soul
live life lavishly in a constructed comfort zone
like a king in a kingdom, but where is the throne
he feels the pain of life in his bone, stone cold
or at least he wish he was cold like a stone, he told
unfortunate, cuz crooks come from a broken household
yet his knowledge of life was worth more than gold
remember to play your cards right, but never fold

he’s a product of his environment, a rough diamond
never complain, but humbly thank God for his garment
let me explain, he had nothing, yet stayed strong & silent
but going insane, desperately searching for an asylum
through pleasure & pain, succumb to a society that’s violent
live life in the fast lane- something like a modern day pirate
no sacrifice no gain, he ain’t a people’s person but private
reflecting on the train- finally his mind is peaceful & quiet
came to the conclusion life’s profane- now his thoughts run riot
from temptations he tried to abstain- learnt to be self-reliant
purpose: perish or entertain- do you follow a ruler or a tyrant
