Don't Ever Turn Your Back

by Tripp   Apr 16, 2006


Hmm tried writing a little differently...read and comment and tell me what you think.

Don't ever turn your back
or you may be killed
By some two-bit hack

Some fool in a fit of road rage
may pull a .44
and a battle wage

Shoot you in the chest
and blood blossoms
who would've guessed

That you'd die this way
who would've guessed
that in the road you'd lay

Life blood seeping, life blood leaking
and all around you
pedestrians are freaking

out, like its The World Trade all over again
well this isn't nearly as bad
because now, its one death that will happen

instead of the hundreds of killed
in that terrorist attack
although, hundreds milled

about your body
and one woman remarks
''Oh, he used to be a hottie"

Hah, well not anymore
not with your chest torn open
like a bloody and ragged door

To your heart, and your insides
and as your eyes fade
you see the angels, who guide

You to the final resting place
and to your final rest
and you are taken out; of this life's race
