walking the line

by Antwan Fields - Aries

how long can you go before you step over the line?
how long must it be before there is there is no escape?
from the prison that is your life??
how long can you go and how long can you last
how can you starve without being on a fast
and how long can you survive the knife??
the time that you took to dawdle
that time is gone
how long will you mourn?
and when you have recovered
and found someone else
will you watch porn?
as the quills of the porcupine
protrude toward you
and they stick 
how many times will they hit
its worthless, it's hopeless, its a piece of shit
and that lighter you flick?
you made the guy touch his nose
stand on one leg
was he drunk?
he looked like a serial killer
so you went through his car
and inside his trunk
was nothing
nada, nil, you searched him falsely
so he presses charges, you get fired
it was your livelyhood, hoof and mouth
but the coffee gets you 
and youre wired
they find out you stole from them
and then they talk about jailing you
nothing is fine
this is what you get
its what you deserve
for not walking the line.

Reason for writing:

    for crooked cops, and those who believe a badge is a right to destroy peoples lives. imagine how they feel when it happens to them.
