Money

Money grows for thoughs who have it. There are too many people who barely see it. It comes in and flows out like the tide, financial burdens in a constant ride. You have more going out than ever comes in, lost in pound signs hoping your bet comes in. Scratching away at cards to gain. Nothing again, they're all the same. Life on the dull is boring and grim, no opportunities so you turn to a life of sin. One man's loss is another man's gain, nothing in a poor mans life but hunger pain, a shock to the system that's let you down. Your short lived smile ends up a frown. Lost and drifting left on a government shelf. There's no help for you anywhere, you're lost in a system that does not care.
