'Possum'

- Hunz

tt23

In the hussle of a

busy city a possum
roams the cement

dirt.

He runs for shelter

in a near by club, but
is mistaken for a rat
by drunken fools.

They beat him.  They

do not understand

what he is.  They are

scared. They leave.

The possum picks

itself up and tries
to see out of the
the only eye that's
working, the other
is mangled and torn.
bearly being able to
breath it knows it
must move.  He must
find shelter in the
city trees, but how?
instinct kicks in and
leads the way,  Across
a busy highway into
the club I'm playing
at.  I try to pick it
up and place it on a
near by tree, but not
knowing what I would
do, it bites me.
I draw blood.
It runs frantically
across the road
Into a resturant.

Obviosly they don't
want it there.  So
shout, and curse the
innocent.  Still in
shock it staggers
across the road.

A car hits it.

It's still alive.
It breaths.
it's back is broken.
I put it down.
It meets it maker.

this song is dedicated
to that possum.
