Killing time

I was just killing time

reading books about crime

trying to stay young

wondering why it is done

By those still at school

the nobody’s fool

with minds that hate

the heads of state

Cause they cannot work

out the thoughts that lurk

on the crest of the brain

that drives them insane

To the point when they strike

at the people who like

to drive fancy cars

and gaze at the stars

So far away

from the very next day

when they’ll blame it on you

who’s got nothing to do.

With any of this

except maybe a fist

or a finger for those

the older ones chose.
