Biting Off More Than We Can Chew

i dont need much to get me by just a simple hello and goodbye those words are meaning less to so many but mean so much the smell of the flowers even the ones that arent bloomed give a sensation of renewed hope i always got by with little means because the more i had caused distress living in a material world with material things brings tragedy people want what they cant have and what they have they want more of greed is their demise jealousy is caused by an vicious heart tempted by ones battle with self to want what we cant have is having what we want those with none are happy with one those with one want four robberies mureders even rapes come from lust and disease to part with it all and give to others we feel we are cheating ourselves we are the ones who deserve the best so forget the others and move on the others are our brothers and sisters mothers and fathers TO WHOM OUR BLOOD LIES WITHEN count each penny and stash it away but that wont follow us to HEAVEN dirty money countless sins what will it take for you to give in a kind word a hot meal maybe even a dollar or two THAT MAN UNDER THE BRIDGE COULD ONE DAY BE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
