Life Was A Spider

There never was a time, when life was good, 

There was never a time, I fully understood. 


People are devious even your mates, 

People are liars don't make that mistake. 


No1 ever tell u there ain't bent 5 0,

Mates Mum n DS, wiped 2 schools out in 1 go. 


Still in class n she scrubbed my life out, 

Put me on the floor like a punch on the snout. 


That witch put 20, good mates in the ground, 

All for the power, all for the pound. 


So bodies fell constant, as time flew by,

Got bored of funerals, we forgot how to cry. 


Now times caught up, it's solitary blood n pain, 

With 2 many doctors, telling me bad news, again. 


Last night I saw a spider, tossle with a moth, 

A battle was fought but soon it was folded like cloth. 


The long legs of the attacker wrapped it in grey, 

Then I realised life was the spider, n I was it's prey.
