Everyone
Building wealth
Pursuing luxuries
May have long forgotten
Besides lullabies
Little cuddly babies
Cry for mummy and daddy
Besides ambitions and achievements
We need love and sympathy
Love for the valentines
Sympathy for the refugees
Besides love and sympathy
We need an elicitation of responses
For the deficiency and poverty

Hope
Is a luxury
Only the wealthy
Can afford
And only the poor
Can dream about

Raindrpos rattle outside
Safe under a roof
Medical drops in a tube
Life on the edge
Chemical pills for help
Natural foods aside
Wonders for sickness
No money to buy
Ginsengs for the rich
World at the fingertips
Roof for the refugee
War never ends
Controversy on the share market
Sell and buy
Cents for the electrical bills
Donation is out
Luxuries for the rich
Beers and jewelleries
Necessities for the poor
Prayers and blessed amulets

Green sequin lines leather seats
In a shining emerald limousine,
As a television screen streams
Sequences of the finest of suites.

a bucket of water
a basket of apples
a dream of apple pie
daydreaming as i drink from the water hose
skipping carelessly in the rain
listening to the expressive taps of the many shoes
a thought of waterslides in 1980
daydreaming as i suck the yellow off of some lemon heads
staring at the hole in the seat
wishing i could just squeeze the part of her butt that is protruding from there
a thought of the both of us falling and saying OUCH! with a smile as we feebly attempt to roller skate
daydreaming as songs from the Blockbuster 20 8 track start overtaking my brain with joy
