Another Day, Another Dollar
Zeitgeist of today
Another day, another dollar
But what’s a dollar worth?
Can’t climb very high on but a
Dollar a day
Everything has a price
Fresh beans and rice
Go together for a good dinner
However, your dollar’s gone; a dollar is dinner
Interesting how a dollar only gets you
Just one more day
Kids on the street fight for a dollar
Loser licks his wounds, his own blood for dinner
Mum’s dollar wasn’t enough, Dad drank it
Never mind that man in a suit
Over beyond the fence
Pristine, perfect
Quickly, quietly, he walks away
Rare, that sight in this town
So many people, so much pain
Too much to bear for a man with money
Usually the suits stay away
Violence, venom, and vomit
Won’t entice a rich man to stay
X number of dollars is what they make in a day
You and I won’t see a penny

Goodbye
A touch of blankness on the heart is no friend of mine. And time will spread its wings and fly by and by and bye—goodbye. I've never known you still, and maybe I am shrill like the pitched farewells that many a soul will leave behind. There's no place for fortitude in a spiral reversing memory that won't last anyway, but anyway—I want to march through thickets and leave pieces of me behind, maybe those inklings will last through years like sands that refuse to wash away and they won't have to fly like time in erasing winds and say goodbye.
