A Poem

They're gonna find out, how could they not?

Keep a lid on it now, that's all that I've got.

It roils and bubbles and boils with troubles,

Mountains and mole hills, all are my stumbles.

How can I stand when the world falls away?

Grasping for roots that gave into decay.

The apple fell so readily

but came to rest exact-ly where it was supposed to be.

No hill gave it velocity

And stayed in shade of a rott'n tree.

When the lid blows off and exposes the rot,

They're gonna find out, how could they not?
