five/oh!

by allycat - Gemini

all of seventy and they got in his face
it hurts me now to see him 
lying in a hospital gown
not because of age
but his family name!

how long will this last?
we're going down fast
i'm not a leader! but still they call apon me

i bow my head in failure 
for i'll be the next to be taken down

bubba says 
run while you still can 
tke the others some where safe 
and never show your fear

young and strong i am, i am!
immortal i am not.

they tell me marry a soldier
have some pride and save your life
i want normality
for my family.

what have they done
these eyes of mine
part of me is going to die
he said he'd hold on to me and my heart
but now he's no where to be seen.

the next few weeks will be more training
i cant run
they will
i'll stand and fight the law just as they fight me!

H.D. rest well 
you'll have your revenge.

Reason for writing:

    my seventy year old family member was beaten today, the whole family is in an uproar over it. who's next? my bro's? my dad? my moms? or me? i hope they come for me because i'll be waiting to do some damage. i dont need a man to fight my battels!
