BORROWING BURROUGHS

Fresh and new
Adventures to find
Skipping to the beat
Of a patterned mind

Follow the line
Never step on the crack
The crevices will reveal
Wanton lack

Free, everything is free
For anyone to take
Maybe adults have to pay
For Mercy's sake

Wait! I didn't agree
What have I lost
Too young to wonder
About payment...cost

..............shame

...........................no one, must know

..............................................ever

Don't know when movement
Stopped, time stood still
Holes were dug
And things were gathered around the feel
.........what is real!?!

The clear green pasture
Overtaken by burroughs of dirt
Landmines of sorrow
Continually blowing up the hurt

Lack, Lack, Lack
Black and oozing on tomorrow
Never paying back
What was obligingly borrowed

That's the thing
Return is not an logical option
Backward movement
Collects waste laden toxins
..........in the soil of the soul

One way to clear the path
Till the ground with steel blades
Ridding the soul of pockets
Collecting beliefs that satisfy and fade

..........into wispy lies

Today, Truth is clear
I can not promise what isn't mine
Money I don't have
Or payment over time

What I have in this moment
Is more than enough
To meet all my needs
Though circumstances are rough

LOVE has cleared the way
I will flow like a river to the ocean
Nothing will cause me concern
Because I honor TRUTH by laying down reason and emotion.
