Gone Almost Forgotten

Sometimes when my mind's lazy I think of you The times that happen are getting quite few Wreaked havoc on my heart What the storm did in its path Sadistically rape my love Then offered a black dove Forged a degree to get by A degree you have to lie How does knowledge make gold When there's a hole in the shoe sole Shame on you big professor You play my money and me a sucker Me the poor illiterate woman Fed clothes and shelter the educated man

A woman taken advantage of, but not truly due to the lack of education. The heart can make us all foolish at times. Loved the write. Thank you for the warm sentiments on my poem "Why Did You Hate Me Mother"
