Run Joe Run
believe it
you gone and done it
you got to run, Joe
but
what's chasing you
your conscience
or your sins
how do you run, Joe
when you're in deep
it wasn't right
to snuff her light
no it wasn't at all
what's that, Joe
she took your money
and your little baby
send them to her mama
she whored herself
to feed baby blue
but the knife
was in your hands
and she fell on it
who you kidding, Joe
you should've taken baby blue
and ran
you're done
you're gone
your life isn't yours no more
and your ass belongs to the big man next door
you gone and done it
you got to run, Joe
but
what's chasing you
your conscience
or your sins
how do you run, Joe
when you're in deep
it wasn't right
to snuff her light
no it wasn't at all
what's that, Joe
she took your money
and your little baby
send them to her mama
she whored herself
to feed baby blue
but the knife
was in your hands
and she fell on it
who you kidding, Joe
you should've taken baby blue
and ran
you're done
you're gone
your life isn't yours no more
and your ass belongs to the big man next door

If your woman takes your child with her mom and wants to leave you, it causes some men to kill for love. It isn't right to kill but I understand in this situation. But divorce is option. Keep on writing

The flow and an air of foreboding, that essence, was terrifically captured.... What a sad tale of humanity's low point.... It's awful that that happens more frequently than people probably realize, too ....Good job at creatively highlighting a topic that needs attention and awareness, Grace.. -💙

A familiar tail through time and replicated all the more in the "now". From a more artistic perspective ..........did you intentionally mean to make an allusion to Jimmy Hendrix's "Hey Joe" ? A striking resemblance to his 60's hit. (Jimi's protagonist did get away however). Headed down to ol' Mexico. Youtube the song if you don't know it but I'm almost certain that you do 😂

Dear MrM...no I wasn't thinking of him. Somebody else here in our crime beat. Joe...well that name is universal that's why I used it. Thanks for dropping by.🌹
