Now Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

now your eyes go blind
and your blood gets cold
while your mind wonders off
and your soul stay behind
leaving you lost and scarce
with to much time
but still you have and open mind
even though you have no dreams to keep
cause your deals you made
and the lies you told
got you in to deep
making it hard for you to survive
the price you pay
for your life you chose
and maybe it was the hunger
the hunger that ate you inside
that told you all these lies
and had you act upon them
that's just the price for answering your hunger.
