BETWEEN NEED AND DESIRE
Who amongst you holds the truth
of the revolt the unknown destitute
the lies that`s nourished between
the tales the passing consequence
that fails.
Impaled here on your envy the
preconceived lies that empty the needy
from their lot born of status a titled name
or not.
Do you grit your teeth through want and
hunger has all around you fell asunder
born to blunder hopeless wonder.
The mighty thankless rich unregarding
dissident hiss, born to plenty little amiss
contrived as the passing hour with a lasting
taste that`s sour.
of the revolt the unknown destitute
the lies that`s nourished between
the tales the passing consequence
that fails.
Impaled here on your envy the
preconceived lies that empty the needy
from their lot born of status a titled name

Do you grit your teeth through want and
hunger has all around you fell asunder
born to blunder hopeless wonder.
The mighty thankless rich unregarding
dissident hiss, born to plenty little amiss
contrived as the passing hour with a lasting
taste that`s sour.
