The Piper

Today I have to wonder
about people once again
some live to cause trouble
while others live to win

Why is what your neighbor does
any business of your own
unless it interferes
with property you own

I find life is hard enough
without the extra strife
of having people accusing you
wasting a lot of time

Vindictive little weasels
surely you will pay
for all the trouble that you cause
Karma works that way

We've been at the bottom
of that barrel
of which you speak
only to rise above
expectations we exceed

Then all the thanks
the world gives to you
can easily be summed up
but really seeing the picture
is hard when your hung up

Bent on destruction
of characters you don't know
just to fill some jealous need
like a hog stuck at the trough

Those whom you hold close
well surely turn on you
it's just the nature of the game
the piper calls the tune

So even in my anger
I still feel sorry for you
for having to be such a shit
afraid of name being known
