It Won't Happen

It Won't Happen

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet
"

No, I don't think it will.

"
Will it…
Will it ever…
Will it ever happen…
Will it ever happen to me?

Many men in my age group
Are in the cigar-smoking loop
Puffing rings of adulation
Leaving me with frustration

Will it…
Will it ever…
Will it ever happen…
Will it ever happen to me?

Shoes between sizes zero and one
Pushing the stroller and having fun
Changing out s**t from plastic casing
These are events I should be facing

Will it…
Will it ever…
Will it ever happen…
Will it ever happen to me?

Throwing the spit into cotton
Selfish motives are so rotten
Maybe God above is really saying
Full maturity you are delaying

Will it…
Will it ever…
Will it ever happen…
Will it ever happen to me?

His spouse cries out in pain
His soul has just seen the drain
There is no remorse in his heart
His dreams have been torn apart

Will it…
Will it ever…
Will it ever happen…
Will it ever happen to me?

Sitting here awaiting the day
His sentence is no longer stayed
The sickle slams into his neck
His body wrote the final check

No…
No it won’t…
No it won’t happen…
No it won’t happen to me.

Progress stunted by a callous God
Even if his thoughts are fully flawed
His soul descends into the waiting pit
He will surely see some serious s**t

No…
No it won’t…
No it won’t happen…
No it won’t happen to me.

The wife is bereaved for a spell
The death was just a minor hell
She soon conceives not long after
Since she obeyed her godly master

No…
No it won’t…
No it won’t happen…
No it won’t happen to me.

She grew up under anothers care
Her real father, to be found nowhere
Boiling in brimstone, his own decision
He chose not to make the final revision

No…
No it won’t…
No it won’t happen…
No it won’t happen to me.

No…
No it won’t…
No it won’t happen…
No it won’t happen to me.
