Finish Coat
Who's to blame for the suicide shame
As the time turns steel to gold
And pockets of conflicting wisdoms volley
To train the old soul at home alone?
Blood ran down you drain, washed clean of a
Crown not given but earned for 1 lifetime profound.
Knowing loss none can know offered shoes fit for
Clowns as towns claim to walk his, yet no solid ground.
