Tears of a Clown

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." - quote by Mark Twain ----------------------------------------------------------- Being poor is not romantic Hunger has no eyes, no vision Soul boils without, within, unfelt Neglected health devaluates Dignity, respect takes back seats Pity is a sharp stab in gut Working up to life, to find means Through tangles of clueless upkeep Owning up faults, false fatalism Life comes and goes like tomorrows Tears of physically wronged souls Salts up oceans, clowns keep smiling
