Before Your Eyes
you withdraw more
than you put in
overdrawn now
yet once again
checks and balance
just won't solve
red lines, black numbers
slowly dissolve
the statement here
before your eyes
columns long
materialize
many equations
that don't add up
to what you pour
into your cup
shake your head
and start again
adding now
with paper and pen
that's when you finally
realize
the truth that's here
before your eyes
