Hopeless

Hopeless

By Samuel K Byrd

A hot meal, a cold bed, and hopes

that tomorrow will be a better day

unemployed house fore closed and the repo-man

arrived bright and early yesterday

tax cuts, tax incentives, stimulus package

all a little too late

get in line; get a plate, two hours latter

you've forgotten what you just ate

classifieds job fairs Internet but nothing

seems to help

only good thing is that there is no wife or kids

I only have to provide for myself

just stay focused work the system

don't let it work you

keep your head high and your prayers higher

and soon you will make it through
