Dear Diary the Shopping Line Bread Milk and the Needle

Have to get some bread and milk,
always needing more,
Then to seek my dealer
needle him to give a score.

Kids are always wailing,
never any peace.
Like a wailing wall
they never seem to cease!

Damp is smelling so much worse,
should withdraw the rent..
But where else could i go,
since that bastard went.

Can never pay a bill
the Post is full of dread.
They"re going to slice me off!
I never have the bread.

All we wear is cotton
what the hell is silk!
There is only so much Benefits
that i can really milk..

 I have to meet my Dealer,
see what i can wheedle.
I need so ****ing much...

Bread milk and a needle.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Having been possessed by the demon of addiction myself, I identify well with this hard hitting piece Ned. You nailed it here - Tim
