Keep Things Humming

When you're at your Lowest of lows. We all know how The story goes. Down on your luck, Can't catch a break. No matter what, Can't get a fair shake. Depression eats away, At the sane mind. Physical limitations, On the decline. The mind full of dark Thoughts and things. Can't even fly with These broken wings. I sit and ponder, what Will become of me. Held captive by The powers that be. Sixty years old and All alone. I rent a room, Don't have a home. Never expected to be Old and solo. Even the Lone Ranger Had Tonto. Yet, here I am solo And lonely. All alone a one Trick pony. I did not see old Age coming. Life just keeps, Things humming. Turbo1904?
