The Magnificent Reality

Dollar bills tucked inside her back pocket She scans the list for her favorite flavor chocolate Vanilla, strawberry, lime and lust None for you, says the black panther in disgust Imagination, alcoholic mind He’s not real, not so unkind Harbored anger, elegance and class Tools of manipulation that can not last Sophisticated lady wearing her sex like a crutch Stomping her cross as her diseased mind instructs A poised, refined and dying flower A box of secrets where she dips for power Care - fullll whispers the winking cat Money is against God - you surely know that And inside this insane dream You can’t even get your favorite ice cream Poland, Africa, Egypt and Greece She searches and seeks for her Golden Fleece Dreams from a barstool wrapped up in smoke But what will I do? She finally chokes Breathe - look inside - be humble - and true There is love and grace waiting for you Sweep up your defects, turn them inside out Hold them - watch them - it’s ok to doubt Step one, step two, step three and four Hopscotch your way up, there’s plenty more Your not alone but you need to show Just how far you’re willing to go
