I just want to make a decent living

but what I need is not for the giving.

I can’t even take what I need

because there is nothing for the taking.

This life of living

without no giving

and nothing for the taking

is making me want So Bad

for all I never had,

that I feel, in order to satisfy my sensational desire

to squelch this oppression from keeping me in the mire,

that I need to do something drastic

like beg like I never did before,

for someone to open the right door!

What else is left for me to do

to undo this unfortunate endemic economic dilemma?

Must I endue myself with the faculties of a madman as Hamlet,

or attempt to dignify myself with angelic wings

in order to fly where birds of a feather have never attempted to fly?

Is there anything I can do to justifiably rectify

 all that appears to be denied to me?

Somewhere over the rainbow

there must be

an outlet for networking

away from this primordial uncivilized society

with a knee-jerking habitual approach

towards fair marketability without reproach.

I’m tired of those

that do nothing more than pacify my life of begrudgery!

To be begrudged, will never open the door to opportunity.

I have even attempted to barter my wares,

but still cannot make aware to those that think they care,

that I need to get to my somewhere.

I need more than sympathy, understanding and empathy

because my pockets have too long been empty.

I need CASH…

Where for art thou my green pastures?

I hope not in the ever-after!
