Memo to the World: Freestyle

March 9, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I’m coming
nothing is subtle
ain’t no rebuttals
start pissing your puddles
hop into your bubbles
when visiting Russell
a wizard to muggles
it figures you’re puzzled
you trembling, ruffled
resembling muzzles
I’m gentle but scuffle
my temperament suffers
when mentioning struggles
my enemies pretend to be lovers
but when I leave the vicinity…strategies casually after me, blasphemy captioned with casualties, captured me gradually…
so I’m dissembling cuddles
their hugs are akin to a huddle
rekindling mumbles
obscenities uttered
I hear it, they stutter
my temple won’t shutter
that’s word to the bird or my mother
the urge converting the nerves in my stomach
purging in summers-came into the light
diverting from rubbish
befriend me or grumble
my vision was tunneled
the minutes had funneled
some memories fumbled
came in from the jungle
condensed in with others
came out in a shuttle
WayOfLife out of space
but flying into the rubble
transcending transient damage and troubles
with a vantage that’s humbled
was stranded and landed with luggage
now I’m bandaged with a hand full of wonders
