Balanced Die-yet?A Poem by Alvin L. KathembeA bit rappy, hopefully not crappy though :/We, Party like Dionysius Bring the fun and drinks to us Drink like we possess a Liver like Prometheus’; After the revelries of Bacchus The hangovers that attack us, The bloodshot eyes that never bleed The wheezing lungs that barely breathe Come with the territory, like title deeds; We, Call the shots like umpires Shun daybreak like vampires Jager is our master Than chasers we are faster - So we’re straight shooting like Expert marksmen, masters of Call of Duty Dragunovs Heeding warnings not at all Screw the writing on the wall! Keep going, never looking back, Daniel couldn’t tell me jack… “Real G’s don’t get married, hoe! I’ve got lots of money so Just keep jumping up and down For these coins like Mario!” [Some dudes surround themselves with girls So they can feel like princes Me, I take a single one And treat her like a princess] Most guys will say anything There’s nothing they won’t mention All out to exploit you like SMS’s from a prison Once they get it, they just split Like white light through a prism - Girls to them are just trophies They always want another one Some declare they’ve more silverware Than Alex Ferguson Like Ronaldo, you think you’ve got them, then you blink - And they’re off to score another one. We, Have blacked out lungs and burnt out brains Clogged up hearts, varicose veins Sluggish and soporific The rate at which we down the pizzas really is terrific Two by two for me and you Tear into it like a shark Two by two for me and you Like they’re going in the Ark I’m not sure how we can cure This curious malady We’re chugging up the soda Like dredgers on Magadi And, like them, we have no use for the water Rush for the Sprite first When you need to quench your thirst Ballooning bodies and weight-loss shows Dumbbells on the ground - The closest we come to exercise Is picking up the pounds. Or reaching for the oh-so remote control Will somebody remind me just when It was we lost control? Time goes by, we live fast and hard Waistlines - and skins - grow thicker Coronary artery? More bypasses than Thika… But man, it was legendary How we lived our lives! Partied hard, drank harder, And dead at thirty-five… © 2012 Alvin L. KathembeReviews
