So Slow - Born Ruffians

I won’t bleed

If I don’t recognize the disease

I don’t see

What is right out in front of me

The change can be

So slight you hardly see

I believe

I am healthy where I be

Thoughts can breed

But in light they remain a seed

Stuck with me

In a stupid tragedy

Slow, slow speed

And want for sympathy

Slow is me

In the throes of some disease

Slow

Awfully slow

Eyes evacuating me

As everything around me is covered in disease

I am protected by a tree

Words flood around my head now with the fleas

Then realize just what it takes

Walking with my feet looking back at my face

All my stupid words trying to erase me

I am not scared to die, I’m scared to be replaced

Oh, so slow

Slow like a thunder roll

My pollution rolls of the earth into the hole

Black and white slow mo

Treat it with the chemo

But it breads and grows and it comes so

Slow

Awfully slow
