Kyle Kriticos Poet Rhyme

The Tear Drop Man

Spare a pittance for the tear drop man
Who's hat is out so he
Can tie his arm and shoot a bit 
And dream the sweetest dreams

A sandwich curbs his appetite 
But a dollar would do more
All his traumatic memories
Would fade if he could score

Spare a pittance for the tear drop man
Whos father rests in peace
The tear drop man wouldn't idly watch
His mother get the beats

A needle and a puddle 
And a drop too much in him
A memory of his grandmas hand 
It used to raise his chin

Spare a pittance for the teardrop man
A flower where he lies
To cover up his terror
And the single tear he cried
