Escaping Jim

A guy called Jim, passed me a mug,

and called it remedy,

such poisoned pride, makes man a thug,

thus, put an end to me,

 

via such submission,

one by one they fell,

no spirit in remission,

just lost souls for hell,

 

then I looked down, the corpses piled,

the garden was a mess,

to which for him, I was reviled,

my thoughts began to press,

 

my tomb’s not in Jonestown,

I’ll choose where I’ll lay,

to make my name; somewhat renowned,

hence, he was in my way,

 

but no murder, did I commit,

for mirror image stains,

as in mind, I won’t permit,

any growing pains, so;

 

instead of death cocktail,

I replaced it with some wine,

to toast my deed; to not be frail,

where my choice will shine.
