Revival

From ashes like a Phoenix 

rebuilding from obscenities  

the world’s meanest are not enough  

built Ford tough  

durable like a ten-year-old Tonka truck  

having to deal with the corrupt  

who is going to reach down 

reach back and pull me up  

yup … I know who he is,  

it’s a no-brainer  

no one special  

but the world’s creator  

went to rock bottom  

but later reborn  

like his son all were told not to mourn  

one of the most pro of the prolific rose up once more  

tooting blowing my writer’s horn  

calling to arms all those  

that live on the edge  

a step up for dead for survival is one’s revival
