Oh No lets go home
far away from all the drones
That slay my brains with six horned hoes
Cup filled by up side down cones
Sand dune shaped together by drones
Artificial intelligence finally home
Mirrored by mutating ant lions
Rock foundation in my mount zion
Oh Yes more or less the same remain
Near but guess I changed my name
With four legs mistakes I say with pledge
Burning bush as I scream my head
Sand tuned to shapes of flutes
Night gain vibrate my rule
Cricket legs erase my fears
As I stake out and regain my cheers
Oh No set her ways like clay on snow
Almost regained my faith a no show
Flocking gestures i float on two blows
Listen quick as your con just flows
Sand sink i land with parachute
Sink deep engulf by fuel
Cheetah legs fly on pegs
Snow fall melts on sledge
Oh no game on today
Tired already no fight to slay
Burrow deep and hide my head again
Hard hunger shoves me awake
Going haphazardly bang head in vain
Must do something
Change my aimless ways
So I hide deep and wait for my prey
Oh no its too large to slay
Burnt excuse not fun to say
So I struggle
And tussle up the sand
Cone shakes as it leaves my hand
Battle lost
Seems I'm going to starve
Head buried must grasp another plan
Oh no must build my house again
This tornado just falls my hand
Hours gone by
Sun rages high
Foundation just done
Chaos is all gone
Hunger death roll bites
Must get a bite
Oh no I feel the earth trembling
It only means one thing
I may just fail again
Or grasp and be born again
My opportunity to think
Must fight so I won't blink
Lost in a black hole
Fight hunger to make me whole
Oh no my jaws have sunk in
Grapple with reality I'm fighting
This predator is tiny
With the prey shining
Shark teeth sink in
As rows of teeth free me
Im not letting go
No matter how hard it goes
Oh no my energy disappearing
Losing sight of my dream
Like a wilting tangerine
Only a memory of once green
I sink deep my skills
Hold on to my milk
Me and fate circling
Both want to win this wrestling
Oh no I'm winning
Can't stop what I see
This ant lion with high heels
My hone an upside down hill
Many nights of dreaming
All down to this skill
Never going to let go
Till my prey is saying oh no
