Being Broke

07.02.2019

Being broke
Life sucks
A crumb
Of Hope is what I need to survive
Like a rooster without feathers
That's how I feel a joke
Though being broke plucks
Away Confidence and Dignity I’ve tried hard to be numb
To this life
But chronic poverty inequality no investors
In one’s life crushes one’s spirit sometimes I wonder
Whether my situation is man made
Day in day out I’m frustrated and if this doesn’t get better
I’m afraid
I’m stuck for good
In this mood
