I am rich
My walls are lined with cupboards,
Cups and saucers
With a TV at my feet
...
There are more faces,
Then places.
Strangers pass everyday,
Impacts cannot be kept at bay.
...
Hey
I've still got words to say,
I'm sorry I failed you that day,
And the guilt doesn't go away.
...
Pa handed the little boy,
A little box- car toy
Shots go in the distance,
Soldiers need assistance…
...
Ma got buried
Where were you,
While her casket got carried?
Toms' drowned in brandy
...
I Am Rich
I am rich
My walls are lined with cupboards,
Cups and saucers
With a TV at my feet
And a bed near the door
Believe me-
I am rich.
The lamp beside me glows
As my eyes strains to perfect the shade
With a window as big as I want
And the door as wide as I like
Trust me-
I am rich.
My hands darken
As my charcoal crumbles
But with joy to live this day,
Faith to live another
And hope to dream in the present
I know-
I am rich.
What's worse than a dead body is a dead soul in a live body.
It's not what you say, it's what you mean by it.
Envy is the product of laziness.
Some people aren't meant to know the rivers that you crossed for them.
