We overstretch the possible Beyond the thin elastic To build ourselves a paper world and seal the cracks with plastic ~ Deluded in our comfort dreams 'Don’t pay just come and borrow You’re doing fine, your credits good No worries till tomorrow’ ~ So life is fine, doesn’t cost a dime Relax, it's no big deal Retribution comes another day Step up and spin the wheel ~ Malika has no credit card Nor seen a dollar bill But smiles and fills her water bowl and climbs the dusty hill |

One of your best in my opinion. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

In the beginning, I was smiling at the humor. At the end, it was like taking a cold glass and dropping it into boiling water. A powerful piece to be sure. You write with your eyes open Cari. More feelings and fewer words please |
