Ways



Perhaps I was luxuriant, words said
Facts are prurient, nation led
Sometimes variant, Until I'm dead
As long as you see me caring, we still never meet
Consuming bottle cans, die before my life span
But granted with vigor
You are what I live for
I can feel the opportunities appearing bigger
Ticket for a free meal
My line appeals greater
Moment's seeming real
Live to be a music creator
