it ain't no fun when the grits are cold
the heats turned off in your stove
the microwaves broke
a can of soup in cupboard
can't find the can opener
it's somewhere in the kids room
underneath all the clutter
stuck, can't get your mind on
the right track coz it's in the gutter
too many siblings, don't look like
sisters and brothers raised by
county check recipients
welfare mothers
one grows up to be a physician
the other graduates high school
and goes off to prison
one becomes a door to door salesman
the other a streetwalker
one drinks fine wines
the other Johnny Walker
one pebble made a ripple effect
funny how different choices
still connect
