Desires Dreams: Adult Sacrifices Poem by Terence George Craddock

on a serious tone
when adult
responsibilities
intrude
in the nature
of financial
security
health

wealth
bills
a need
to provide
basics
shelter
food
clothing

for family children;

now fame
success
takes
on
a sometimes
dire
serious
tone;

phases
of mood
mind
ability
laced
with
conditions
of pay

educational
talent
abilities
make a fame
name game
front
centre urgent
desperate?
