LOCK UP

You said I wrote great

you said I had talent

and then they locked you up.

I know what it’s like

we have been there too

for it wasn’t long before they locked me up too.

Now we sit here off the field

on a yellow card for fouling

the ref

the law cannot stake us to

the floor and it gives

no true indicating

of when the real times

of our lives begins

here on earth where

they all see it to be

here where they all live

to be the best of all things

to them.
