HAPPY ACCIDENT by tom jensen
No, ants and bees
Don’t get to do
as they please
So why do I think
Things should be
different for me?
Just a mindless drone
Born with my role
in the colony
Religion is the tool
by which politicians make
and then break the rules
Much like how
Britain writes the scripts
America provides the actors
Welcome to the s^it
Sure, there are other factors
As parasites separate
from the source
That is when they can lead
the mainstream off-course
My best defense is that
my mom was a secondhand
knicker-wearing tramp
Daddy a well-endowed,
bow-legged philosopher
And a philanthropist
I’d never say
I was a mistake...
I prefer that
I was a happy accident
Since mamma never rolled
me and the car into the lake
Though she once told Bob Ross
that she had a little room to rent
Trade in you framed
pictures for life experience
Survive to revive and then thrive
by being non-grudgemental
Become your own greatest
Motivational speaker
Be in it to own it and love it
because this life ain't a rental
