Crook

Crook

A Poem by JaushWilson

Truth, It stays guarded by these snakes
It's tough to find love when you involved with so much hate
So many days I spent just drownin' my mistakes
I bend until I break, Make amends with my fate
It's too late.. It's what they told me
A grand lie is what they sold me, Lost in the cold sea
Praying and hoping, Straying from the old me
Slowly started seein' the deceptions that they showed me
Not where the light was, Only where the pipe was
Night was like my sun, The moon rise and I'd run
Months later, Wide awake and ain't slept
Can't save any money cause all I ever makes debt
I look for all my friends, Hate to say that they left
Mom pray ery'day I ain't reach the grave yet, They wept--
As I kept runnin' toward temptation
Breakin' fast for all the fascinations I'm chasin'
Good verse evil, This battle, It's ancient
I can't be mad at God for slowly losin' his patients
Sell your soul, and the devil be waitin'
But hell, You been dead since the day you made your payment

Lookin' for Heaven but the light burned out
Shook and I ain't happy how my life turned out
Death come any second, Let the light shine down
Crook and I ain't happy how my life right now

Drinkin' by the bottle, Smoke by the jar full
This road I chose, All I know is it's harmful
Acquired these sharp tools, By followin' smart fools
Should've been in church pews, Not on bar stools
Drunk drivin' with the car full, Thinkin' we are cool
Thought I knew it all, but knew partial
Never scared, Never startled
Sheeps are preyed and harmed through all these wolves in dark wool
Open your Bible, That's the day you start school
You will never die, Don't believe it you darn fool
Adam and Eve made a bargain in the garden
It fell apart when, They succumbed to the serpent and his jargon
Love starts when, You completely put your heart in
Until it hardens, Then love gets pardoned
They wanna burn the Bible, By any means but arson
They charge and barge in with these theories like Darwin's

Walk the line, I know it's hard to
I wanted change, but didn't have the smarts to
I'd look up to the sky and the stars too
Wanted to lie, but didn't have the heart to

A damn fool, Eatin' pills by the hand full
Ignorance is bliss, If it's the truth you can't handle
Jack Daniels, I'm sinking like an anvil
The heart of a man's steel, Livin' in this landfill
So damn ill, I'm completely at a standstill
Used to move mountains, Can't even scale an anthill
No more bottles, No more damn pills
I pray for my tomorrows, I beg to have my hands filled--
With happiness, When it come to sin, No ones innocent
So in a sense, There's no innocence, No indigenous--
To light and menaces, Polluting through society
I try to see the silver lining and find thee light inside of me


Lookin' for Heaven but the light burned out
Shook and I ain't happy how my life turned out
Death come any second, Let the light shine down
Crook and I ain't happy how my life right now
