i do have it in as a song, but its in open E tuning and i am unsure of the chords, kind of a slower pearl jam style kinda song from what my buddy said when i played for him.  I like hearing other peoples opinions on songs, gives a guy quite a few other ways to look at it

a guitar wont take your kids from you or ruin your family.  guess you have my answer

I really like your writing and relate all too well about the grit and hard times life throws at us.  I strum this song muckin around in E, have you ever been able to write anything else to it like one more verse kinda thing to fil it out some?  perhaps that's what some runs are for, melodies in between lines.  awesome piece!!

thanks for the compliment!!

wow, never expected that much positive responses.  thank you!!  well dont let the name fool ya, its the only name i can think of thats not taken and has zero ties to my real name much like the rest of us.  for some reason or another I rarely write full songs or poems long enough to be songs, usually just a chorus and/or a verse here and there.  I write what i know and what i have experienced in 33 yrs so far, some favorite writers of mine would be tim armstrong (rancid), mike ness(social distortion), jerry cantrel(alice in chains), jim cuddy(blue rodeo), phil anselmo(pantera/down)  the man in black,  hank Sr and III to name a few.  I dont care too much for mystical, fantasy related stuff, just not my cup of tea so to speak.  For some reason its the every day life blue collar stuff that i get drawn to, hard times and ways to over come it.  music has always been an outlet for me whether its listening to an album, watching a show or playing guitar coming up with riffs and progressions here and there.

i love this, and relate quite well.  If i get flak for the following well its not the first time in my life....I find it funny how we all say we want freedom of free speech/thoughts and ideas yet when someone says something they dont agree with or differently then how they how they think, they get offended or upset.  I agree with with the author of this poem, feel free to believe in whatever religious /political views you may wish, just don't parade it around and get upset because someone thinks differently than you.  Sorry if I crossed any lines on here, just did not know how else to say it and was meant to attack anyone.

i dig it.  its short and very effectively gets the point across and has excellent flow IMO.  I can relate to the wrestling of demons.  Would very easily translate into a song
