Something

God Damn you, is where we are...
Why did you get to me...
When I have a ring...
God Damn you...
You look me in the eyes...
I look you in the eyes...
The cliches rattle off...
When eyes meet...
Why does it seem that a lifetime...
Was turned on its side...
God Dammit...

No point

I speak the words...
But you Don't hear me...
Where am I?...
What is this?...
This goes nowhere...
Everything never came...
Nothing happened with these words...
It was nothing but for the deaf...

To make men

Drove early to the next town...
To get the one I love...
a day that was a scene of family...
All was a moment of us...
All to say goodbye to the roots...
For the father that built true men...
Everything was for a reason...
And to give thanks for all...
Whiskey was given as thanks...
There was love in the lessons...
Father pressed for the boys to be men...
Done for the love...
And the right thing to be a man...
Guidance...

The ladder

The ladder of life is the motivation...
It's the same for everyone...
The dream, the dream...
Of every dirty hand that broke it's back...
Only for a handful food a day...
Always that promise...
Your day soon, a full belly tomorrow...
But there is no ladder...
There's only the next pint...
The ladder isn't there only the  words...
Where the next...
