MY NAME IS RHINO

MY NAME IS RHINO
and I keep to myself
I am off to the side
I am up on a shelf

So don't bother me
And I won't bother you
That's the easiest way
That we'll both make it through.

I came here alone
And that's how I'll leave
I dislike the tangled up
Web that you weave

MY NAME IS RHINO
And I keep to myself
I've not much to say
As my words are my wealth
I try not to spend them
In negative light
So I stay far away
Out of mind out of sight

That soap opera tangle
I spoke of above???
Fits all those who chose it
Fits just like a glove.

MY NAME IS RHINO
Alone, by myself
I try to live life
On life's terms but in stealth.
A modern day mystic
Whose words are a thorn
in the crown of that tangle
You choose to adorn.

So,
Crucify yourself...

If you want - if you must.

That irony bleeding from thorns
Taste like rust.

THEY CALL ME RHINO
And I keep to myself
There's a thorn in my side
There's a pain in my health.

Now out on the tundra
Alone - on my way
Is just how I want it to be
(for today)

Maybe there's room,
out there for you too.
Once your finally sick,
of your life in the zoo.

MY NAME IS RHINO
And I keep to myself
