These Days

These days are a challenge, it's no wonder With this whole world all asunder. Twas better when I was younger Unaware of war and plunder. Or making money to survive each day Never was this hard, I surely say Lost it all in a very sad way I'm obsolete, I no longer play. I won't give up, I'm not a loser. I drink too much, I am a boozer. My thoughts keep coming, I'm not a snoozer. Please don't judge me, be my accuser. Am I the only one whose life has become A daily grind, with fear and then some? Why can't I find the faith to be at one To believe life will change, once again be fun. I need to work for life to have meaning. To strengthen my resolve, to be redeeming. Where is the job that I am needing? Don't want to beg or needless pleading. I open my heart, my mind, and soul In the positive vein, I'll reach my goal Like a crap game, I'm on a roll. Got out of this rut, out of this hole.
