I Take It In by StephenP(m): 9:22pm On Jul 29, 2008 |
I take it in Like fresh air and a good cigar Like sit back reflect cause every now and then its good to see life from a different perspective I take it in like wet sand between my toes Like watching the sunset and rise and marvel on the ingenuity of God to create such a divine definition of love The world I take it in The pain Like whips of a cane to the soul Like war in the eyes of a child Like blood on the hands of a widow Like Lago’s words to Othello Beware of the green eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on Losing their life because the other can’t get none Sometimes this world doesn’t feel right but who am I to change its direction I take it in Like a fatal injection Deadly serum of deception Every nation at a point has been lied to Truth has been sacrificed for the so-called common good I take it in though Inhale the spokes of burning buildings and marshmallow on a stick While I’m roasting marshmallows, bodies roast across the world Knowledge is power…but sometimes I close my ears and choose ignorance Can’t have that marshmallow burn I take it in Like your warmth on my skin Like love is everything I take love in Like holding hands all day, talk all night, Start small fights just to end the night freaky right Like love songs, and sonnets Like me, you and a bottle of wine, Chocolate, strawberries and no concept of time Like those days you were mine I take it in |
