I---Might---Turn----Into-----A-----Raccoon-----Soon

I MAY TURN INTO A RACCOON SOON Lately there’s been valuables thrown in the trash Everything from expensive jewelry to cash Too oft I must have to go dumpster diving to eat And sometimes I find different candies from sour to sweet The other day I found a coat that was ripped and torn And last night’s menu was two day old pizza and corn I seek anything that might keep me alive and sustain my breath And yes, I’ll eat mostly anything but for that which may cause ,my death I’m too cold in the winter and too hot in June And if you think about it I’m a human raccoon I scrounge around like an animal with a bad reputation Oh, and there’s no boss to grant me a vacation People keep throwing usable garbage into the trucks And this susceptible circle we live on really sucks I wake up in the morning to beg for yesterday’s bread Instead I hear about another innocent who they found in a landfill dead © 2011...Phreepoetree
