The Spud that Grew from the Concrete

Romeo Jardin 1969 (Masqat)

born a spud, getting out the mud
 living life a stud, going out for blood.
 fearing to be cut to pieces, making me pay obeisance to what society teaches.
 fame's like a mistress coming and going as she pleases but Jesus, when will she not turn to feces?
