Title: Real-a-Litty
Trapped in his own wide shell
Rolled up like a ball cast far into hell
In anguish and pain to wallow
To be crushed in depths way too shallow
For the times he thought himself free
Splurging around himself a living spree
When life pricked like the thorns from a rose
Through blood-ties and lies he rose
Blood debts now left to pay
Alone in hell without a say
Then he began to look at the threshold of reality
He realized that life played him a dubbed thriller
The smiles that once expressed familiarity
Became a sudden tight fit like one healed from happiness; call it life healer
It now made sense to him why he hated his uncles
The turbulence and real time encounter has now bruised his ankles
At this point it was all about survival
Lost hope and not sure about his revival
The future he envisioned without revision had made him struggle to get the ‘A’ life
It all made him think ways of extending his lineage without a wife
When I heard with marvel of his struggles through it all, I said ohh such is life!
