High Expectations On Wants; Low Expectations On Efforts

Theodore Pinnock

There's no grit around.
All my plans go down.  
Demand for wants is high.
As my business dreams die.
I live in envy hell.
In a jail.
Designed to fail.
Zygote ideas are aborted with fire.   
I feel I have no team with burning desire.
No salesforce for Hire.
The cookies crumble to wasted money.  
Debts are high as my staff thinks all is funny
