gray, part 2


by dog e relaford

part 2 of 3


to read part 1, click here



the world might come completely apart
before his life would end
and he would meet his end alone
betrayed by family and friends

the money was not coming in
not like the old days
what did people want?
it was hard to say

the trouble was ralph white
that traitorous skunk
and his son ricky
that miserable punk

the whites owed all to mister brown
but had no gratitude
and only gave him what was due
when he was in the mood

they knew the rules
but did not play fair
they aimed for mister brown’s destruction
their agents were everywhere

mister brown needed someone
someone he could trust
someone to take a chance on
before the whole world went bust

someone to do what he was told
and not get cold feet
to be loyal and true through thick and thin
and take the heat
