take a bow
take a seat
take a swing
waltzing on the
ballroom that is life
and its story
of life and death,
acting and responding,
receiving and giving,
crime and punishment,
and
murder.
take a swing
blood rising
thoughts intensifying,
choose your path
and run with it
like a convicted killer
wanted for dead,
like a batter at home
plate ready to gun
for third,
go where you will
but don't cross me.
take a swing
don't back down
don't fall out
find where you may lead
because
it's too late
to back out
now,
it's too late
to back out now dear.
