My Inspiration

I sit here at my desk, trying to find some inspiration. I read the news and watch TV. I see the entire world up close. Now tell me again about inspiration. How can I write a heart warming story with all the ugliness I see. Actors and ball players make all that money while people's children go to bed hungry. All the greedy politics that go on, while death tallies abroad on foreign soil. Let me get this straight, I write a line or two and make it all go away. If I could do all that, man hold on to something. But I just sit here at my desk looking at all this crap, of reality shows and all the millions some punk rocker makes while he rolls. Life's title is; "Give me all I can take". There you have it, my inspiration for today.
