Scrounging

Paying repentance and biding my time Scrounging around for my lost piece of rhyme Waking up bleary and hitting the bricks Thinking while scheming, getting my kicks Presently cashing a low income check Vigorously chasing another train wreck Paying repentance and biding my time Scrounging around for my lost piece of rhyme So many choices, different points of thought Mere moments in history when lifestyles were bought Encrypted decisions creating new jobs All for the pleasures of those who can rob Paying repentance and biding my time Scrounging around for my lost piece of rhyme Wanting a gold bar stashed away in the bank Thinking I’ll steal it from somebody’s rank Reaching for coffee, I find solace again Knowing full well I must start moving to win Paying repentance and biding my time Scrounging around for my lost piece of rhyme Seeing the pictures and I love them all Leave me believing I am trapped by the walls Communication they say is my key The words they speak though mean nothing to me Lorraine.Peterson
