Ends

Sell their bodies and their souls They've lost all control Their eyes are glazed with a film of desperation Agitation, preoccupation Basic needs no longer shelter or food Only one avenue is pursued Begging, stealing, money is air How it's obtained, they don't care Health and hygiene gone with the rest Nothing matters they're obsessed There's no love to give family or friends All their love goes to the ends Everlast - Ends

This was a very fine entry and very finely captured the essence of your song. This was a deep contest and your deep write was well worthy of your placement. Congratulations!

It is so sad when people reach this level of existence in their lives. The emotion in this is well expressed.
