Desparity of Love

Living on the lower side Of town just gets me down There ain't no money Ain't no work here to be found There ain't no luck and I Ain't seen no magic charms The only magic that I've found Is in my babys arms Litter lines the city streets To show how much we care Flowers die and birds get high From breathing filthy air I look around and try To see where beauty lies The only beauty that I've found Is in my babys eyes People try to tell me We're living in a fantasy But they don't understand It's real for her and me They try to tell me We're making a mistake If that means loving her Then that's the chance I'll take Rockman :-)

These lyrics would make a great country western song. Your chorus being the second verse. Great lyrics!!! Cheers, Maureen

Happy weekend and thank you for sharing your wonderful poetry with us once again Rockman. I am going to try and write some entries for the contests this weekend also. It is still so hot and humid here but we might get some relief next week. Wishing you a weekend filled with joy and inspiration. Love, Carol
