A Pome a Day for a Year

“It ain’t pretty, gentlemen.
Things been boiling over
for a long while now
and the pot is bare, we’re
in it deep, there’s no going
back on this one.

Don’t care how they’re spun,
alibis are needed to stop throwing
your lives away in fear,
rock solid ones on how
you all were hungover
might just get to them.

End of the day, supposed
to be professionals, task hunting
satisfying the client’s sickly
desires and dreams, no
matter what,
cos the pay is good.

If you want out of this hood,
while the getting’s hot,
you gotta be forceful though,
look out for yourself, strictly,
no family around stunting
your future, all closed.”
