Saying

5/3/17


Another painting 
I'm making and creating

Results and outcomes occasionally dismaying
Sometimes it goes without saying

Times of hardships
Through the tropics and arctics
As well as anywhere else, whether trailers, houses or apartments

No need for me to say it twice
Day and night
While we try to make it right
Or pay the price

Why should I say it again?
I'm not going to pretend
I know what happens in the end


It shall no longer be said
Or else it will quickly spread
And trend


Say no more
I know what it's like to be poor
Nothing but eggs, ramen or cans of albacore
Until I put in work and did a whole lot more
Continuing to score
