Tanis Troutman Poet Rhyme

Ends

Sell their bodies and their souls
They've lost all control

Their eyes are glazed with a film of desperation
Agitation, preoccupation

Basic needs no longer shelter or food
Only one avenue is pursued

Begging, stealing, money is air
How it's obtained, they don't care

Health and hygiene gone with the rest
Nothing matters they're obsessed

There's no love to give family or friends
All their love goes to the ends


Everlast - Ends

Phillip Garcia September 17, 2016 at 5:24 PM This was a very fine entry and very finely captured the essence of your song. This was a deep contest and your deep write was well worthy of your placement. Congratulations!
