Bones gave up dreaming
at a very early age.  

Anything he dreamed of having,
he never got.  

He learned not to put himself
up for more disappointment.  

He discovered
that the things he needs,
he’ll have to get himself.  

Sometimes he’ll steal his needs,
just up and take them.  
That’s easy.  

Other times
he’ll have to do something
to earn some money.  

That can be very hard indeed.  

Bones wants nothing,
he only has needs.

Bobby

When life is as tough as Bones', dreams indeed can't represent a great part of it, as the immediate needs are priority.

This is very sad, dear Bobby. No one should be in such a situation! Will we ever succeed in providing for all and share the resources?

Thank you for your reality poem. You do these so very well.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Margherita,

The animal world has been working for quite some time on shareing resources.  They haven't quite got it right yet.

Thanks for caring about Bones.

Love Bobby
