Pain Farmers

- By

Ross e f Lombardi.

.

Well... I'm over 50.

There goes my marriage.

That didn't work.

Just stonewalling,

left feeling useless.

Left eating dirt.

.

The harvesters say

Tired of being alone?

Times are different today.

Try our online dating!

Let us show you how!

.

Well... Ok...

That didn't work.

Just spending money,

left feeling lonely.

- Left feeling hurt.

.

More harvesters claim.

Tired of the usual dating sites?

Ours is different... - ...Honest!

Let's show you how!

.

Well... Crap...

That didn't work.

Just spending cash,

Still left feeling lonely.

- Still Left feeling burnt.

.

Harvesters are...

Making Him scared to grow old.

Times have changed today.

But She says that she is different.

And wants to show you how!

.

Well... Hot Dam!

That didn't even work a bit!

Spending credit,

Being used.

- Left eating shit.

.

Harvesters are benefiting..

From Her being frightened to walk home.

World is scary today.

But he says that he is different.

And wants to show you how!

.

Well... Hell...

That didn't work.

Just danger over there!

She is left feeling worried.

So instead of 'man',

- of course she chooses 'bear'.

.

Yet more money harvesters!

Tired of being alone?

Times are so Difficult today.

But! - Don't give up on love just yet!

Our paid meeting groups DO work!

Let us show you how!

.

Well... For fucks sake...

These harvesters just Use us!

STILL left being

Left knowing

That we Are - So very useless.

.

For you see,

The harvesters just harvest.

That is what they do.

But there is still

The warm sun

The lovely moon

The fresh smelling sky

- But - There is still You!

.

So what... There Was once love in your life!

One great love is enough!

That moment has past.

There are...

Good Books

Nice food

Fun times

- music.

- Good things never last

.

Well... Roll up those sleeves.

Make it work.

Different life phase,

Changed season

Another time,

You are still your own

- Very valid reason.

.

So, Stop looking forward,

- to go backwards.

Instead evolve.

- towards a different kind of life.

So, Screw all those Harvesters of sorrow!

.

No more dating.

Be moving on.

That bit is over.

That part is gone..

.

Move on alone

Be happy.

- Teach Yourself how

This time to quit?... ...love life?

That time?

Well... ...That time!

- IS Now.
