Scourging through the rubble of trash bins

With nothing on the soles their feet

The rich keep right on getting richer…

While the poor man weeps.

Leisure is a luxury

That only the wealthy record

For pain lurks in the bowels of the homeless

Because of the necessities he can’t afford.

Selfishness leads to pride

That only a poor man can see,

And justice tends to take the side

Despite a man’s God given right to be free.

Life events amount

To nothing more than a stroll

For every step we take

Consummates our defining role.

Because everything in life we touch

Dies eventually,

In summer time, weed fly

Causing the rain to dry gracefully.

Our souls have been tested

The blood runs thick,

And if we are to get past our history…

Will we ever forget?

This sanctimonious habit

Is causing us nothing but jealously,

And every time I get high

These are the type of things I repeat

It’s a thin line

Between having to preserver and take

Because if it wasn’t for the silver spoon

What would separate the spectrum of our fates?
