Gonzo

I am watching a documentary about Hunter S. Thompson.

This is dedicated to Cat, my own personal Dr. Gonzo or Hunter S. Thompson depending on who you ask or how you look at it

Fallen Rock Star Writer

A whack job
Fucked on schnapps
taking pot shots
with buck shot at typewriters

Big talker
Typerope walker
Gnashing his teeth
at the collective groin
of the world

Fueled on California weed
and New York bagels

He's all American
And part Winnebago

Reporting the blues
Singing the news
Walking the line in golf shoes

Great red shark
White Moby Dick

Wrapped in American flag
Chasing the American dream
A shaved head Long Hair

Taking no moment to miss it
Cruising in a four-door freak power ticket

Embedded in a Hells Angels battalion
Poking with punctuation

Cigarette smoke through
A magnum aimed at Americas asses
Through rose colored glasses

A force of nature
Garbed in Hawaiian shirts
Seeing truth as LSD spurts

High off of doom
Dope smoker
Joker
Midnight toker
Getting fucked at noon

Off the wall
On center page
Telling the world about Ibogain
A Rolling Stone paid craze
That lasts for days

Shaking a rusted saber
Over reams of paper
Predicted hell
when towers fell

In the end we all missed it
So he voted with a .45
A ballot in bullet casing
and punched his own ticket
