write above it

ms. mary mack
all dressed in black,
the silver buttons
all down her back,
are in fact scars
from fallen tact.
so she'll dream of worlds
with silly eli-fants
cuz the reality of it
is only filled with expletives

you live and you learn or simply get burned
you love you lose but first you must choose
to 'shake the dust'
to do what you must
to rise above it
to write above it.

the old mother hubbard
lived in a cupboard
raising her 7 dwarfed brothers
who'd be the only men to ever love her
but barely even cherished her
til she was gone.
til some one happened upon her.
and the reality of it
is only comparable to... expletives

you live and you learn or simply get burned.
you'll twist and turn to find the truth
and finally earn the strength to
rise above it,
to write above it.

cuz the reality of it is so much worse
that i cannot provide a verse
to match it's worth. so this is where you enter yours...
[ rise above it, write above it, live above it, sing above it].
