Its A Plebs' Life

Watching the people walk on by
Seeing hope and pain as I catch their eye
Hands in their pockets or pushing a pram
I wouldn't be them, would they be what I am?

Off to sell family gold with heads held high
Making the ends meet getting harder but they gotta try
Trying to stay afloat along with the Joneses
The fall was followed by pride and no one will take away his

Normal people doing whatever it takes
Leading a borderline life cos of others' mistakes
Corruption of government spinning greedy webs
Sickening disdain will be their downfall at the hands of us plebs

Calculate The Worlds

A little after thought from my "Venezuela" post ;-). Everybody's on the hustle for more. From the rich men to the extremely poor. While I'm haggling over a measly score.

Close To Paradise

I live in a place that's close to paradise. We get all the beauty, but we still have the vice. Many who visit, feel the need to remain. They love the sleaze but for the beauty they'll not abstain.

The City

A tower block, A wisp of smoke. Homeless people, Sometimes taking 'coke' Traffic jams, Polluted air. Everywhere you look, There's people there. Phones and iPods, All sorts of things.

Rat Race.

Cars screeching. Horns tooting. Men preaching. People looting. Siren wailing. Mobiles ringing. Robberies failing. Buskers singing. Music blaring. kids playing. Tunes sharing. Rubbish decaying.

Whore

Yes that's what they call me. But it's really only a living. We all do something for money. Just wish they'd be more forgiving. The only thing I was ever good at. Not much at school but not thick.
