Poem
Everybody knows the poor stay poor, right? Ohh poor me…Ohh poor me they cry… Yet they do nothing, absolutely nothing to change things I say, stop your crying… Ohh poor me Ohh poor me Shun that miserable disposition of yours and change things I believe in you…I think you actually CAN do it… Why don’t we go off…off to college or trade school I will take you…guide you…help you cry no longer Ohh poor me…Ohh poor me Everyone knows the fight is fixed, right? Yet they continue to gamble on their dreams They count on luck and forget about hard work A young beauty wishes to be saved by some prince Ohh save me prince…save me prince Yet she does nothing…nothing to save herself from a life of dependency… I say, why not get some self-confidence Let’s look past the torrid rain that surges down That rain that sometime makes things look so very bleak You can do it….I believe in you…You are strong Ohh save me prince…save me prince You will not need to cry much longer Everybody knows …the dice are loaded, right? Yet they do nothing…absolutely nothing to stack the deck in their favor A man loses his job and he NEVER saved a penny when he was making the ‘big bucks’ He gorged and spent like he was entitled to it…like he was invincible Now, he cries such a lonely cry.... "How can I go on?" "Poor loser me…poor loser me” I know you can go on…you can get a new job… discover a new skill You can learn from your mistakes and…. Next time you’ll save your money when times are good Then there will be far less depression and far less decisions to be made… Come with me and I will show you that you can do it…You are resilient … He ignores my plea…and he continues to cry… “Poor loser me…poor loser me” He blindly stares at his coffee cup...his glance slowly shifts to the revolver He takes a deep breath 12-20-2015 For the contest, Any Sad Poem, sponsor, Broken Wings
