No loyalty

No royalty

No unconditional love

No clean white dove

Life is full of shocks, locks

Rocks, blocks, mocks and flocks

The flowers are faded

But the diamond is illuminated

Go crazy by deciphering what I mean

Oh! No in Heaven! It’s no fun being mean.

 

No money

No honey

No building

No kissing

It is what it is

Carpe secundum

Darn! Oh! Please

Tam! Tam! Tam! The drum

Exists to scream, to tease

To pester and to inflame.
