Room For The Less Fortunate



Blue ribbon surprise
truth, truth, truth disguise
money that sometimes buys
blue sky morning, sunrise highs
don't ask, question wise
brainstorm speed of light
afraid of the edge, of night
mind closed shut, perception sight
slipping into healthy room
hunted down, chasing witches broom
viable source of human endeavor
helping hands of leveraging clever
all too many see as waste
artistic talents, glues of paste
therapy outside practicing stuff
at first they'll feel it's too tough
wait and see what might happen
401k future finance money belt on
restart their lives with saving grace
we always were, a part of the human race
