looking for an excuse

Location

Looking for an excuse to beat the street lights home

Where

Concrete blocks scatter like windless groans

Pavements are lined blind with shattered matted glass hues blues

Wolfpacks gather  howling under the moon

 

Looking for an excuse to beat the street lights home

Where

Strong opinions stand like resolute thrones

Conquering the world with fear in hand Is like layering trifle

Hand upon hand

 

Looking for an excuse to beat the street lights home

Where

Disconnection required unplug and unwind

If only you could turn back the hands of time

Back to black in Santa's sack

 

Looking for an excuse to beat the street lights home

Where

Life is a mission lessons to be learnt

Life is a gift learn to sift

Life is a movie separate fact from fiction

Love from hate 

Hesitation kills 

Date after date
