Tracking the Lizard King


No one understands me

do they even try

Nobody tries to save me

they only watch me die


Pushing life to limits

Searching for the door

Looking for some meaning

There must be something more


Experiencing everything

gotta live up to the name

A poet's not a person

An artist's short of sane


Loving for the minute

Living for the day

Try to find alternatives

to the settled ways


I only ask you come with me

come along just for the ride

We'll take the trip together

break through to the other side


No one can understand me

not even if they try

Nobody wants to save me

It's more fun to watch me die


I wanna be a superstar

meet pretty women, drive fancy cars

I wanna learn to fly

and live and die by twenty-nine

About the author:



Mark Finnemore lives in California with his beautiful wife Panji, who helped him learn that even the rockiest road can lead to a happy ending. Mark is currently working on a novel entitled "Love & Taxes", which he hopes will one day be not only finished, but published and found at your local book store as well.


Mark has a story included in an upcoming "young adult" anthology entitled Spirited, which is donating all proceeds to 826 National, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 - 18 with their writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.
