Reuben Sandwich Luncheon

Put locks on the sandbox.

I couldn’t respect a word they said if I tried.Common concerns I continuously keep denied.

I can’t even allow them gracefor the fact that they tried.

If that was trying, I can’t wait for dying.

Their opinionsand what theythink they knowis sounder thoughtyou would thinksnake oilwas the only thingthey had ever bought.

I certainly wouldn’thave myself caughtpaying respectto what they neglect.

All my opinions undergo an unfathomable fact check.

If I went over my inner methodsyou couldn’t be impressed

without being depressed.

What I do is of what high scale use?

When anyone can walk aroundsaying they’ve said “their truth.”

“Their truth”

“My truth”

There’s a god damn concept that infects the facts like a pandemic attack.

If your truth is a liebut you tell another guyit’s surely a truth to you;

What good does that really do?

A rhetorical question that is,it’s funny what’s doneby dumb kids.

Not a clue to be hadbut everything to be claimed,and out of control the lies growwhen someone you knowsays they feel the same.

We’ve been dealing with this no doubt since the dawn of word.

Anything can be heardbut how do you decipherwhat’s factand what’s absurd?

To draw the line takes a strong visionary mind.

Yet everyone’s got a marker in handand their marking up the sand.

Why did we let everyone into the sand box?

That thing shoulda had some damn locks!The amount of road blocksand turns that will take youstraight to a ditchis a son of a bitch.

If I’m solving life for the rest of you I’ve got be a body guard too?

Add it to my list of functions!

This life ain’t no picnic in the park,I’m shining a light in the darkwith a gun to the average.

This job I signed up for is savage.

All the crowdis clawing at the entrance of this cavecraving some sort ofBlack Friday deal,

Thinking they could buy

something they don’t know how to feel.

Now I gotta teach them about their emotions

and explain to them the piece by piecethe ingredients in this potion?

Add it to my list of functions!

The life sure ain’t a Reuben Sandwich luncheon.
