Hopelessly Living

by Parizo Van Thulare What is the use of imploring whilst the sky is dark ? What is the use of waiting when those that lead care less of us ? We the poor are always criticized Those in the 1st class carriage are on the safest side What is the use of hoping whilst my heart is red of weeping pains ? What is the use of counting stars whilst the rest are covered by these selfish clouds ? What is the use of praying whilst those that I get play dices with me ? For how long have I been saying grace Whilst I lose those that I love ? For how long shall I keep on starring at the hands of the law ? Whilst my mates run with bachelors It's either bribe or you remain behind With no connection there is none to find Was I praying for such badluck ? Or when I pray I make a face of a duck ? I've been taken for granted is fine I've been suffering with benignity yet I draw the line My journey to being holy stops here That face of frowny stays here I will pick one on my way up
