State of the Gardens

Dwayne G Harris

State of the garden-Born into Problems  Not-ones- you can play - Possum Destined to Rise After Fallen-from-Fatal Mistakes - my soul • It got me Prayin' 4 Pardons Judge gave No fucks 12-15 too much I'm beggin His Pardon lost in translation -WAY Far-a-Place Relocated- Where I seem way Foreign- High speed WAS goin- Callin's of slowin' - sent from - Heaven - while the Devil Noddin' - APPLAUDIN - APPARENT- Cotterant to breakin laws and my words & my balls- The Deck of Cards Dealt out- Once I Held'em went All in Often defy the odds.
