Dedicated to my friend: Abby Kenney
Day by day,
we pay and pay
as bills grow longer
and income grows shorter.

We now pay to live
and that's not how it is supposed to be.
People say you have to open the right doors
but before you unlock the door,
you have to become the key.

With politics and laws to keep us docile
and our food and drink tampered with,
how can our governments say we can trust them?
When we can't even trust our own water?

In Florida, you have to live with electricity
and it's the same in most other countries.
Society keeps us "living" a certain way
without "living" it the way we should be.
When you truly wake up,
you no longer need your dreams
We could die tomorrow with regret in our heart, or we could live today and fill it with joy.
My frightened friend once said to me:
"I'm scared... I think I'm gay, no longer straight!"

To which I replied:
"I do not care, I like you for who you are, and to me you're still my mate"
Mate = Friend
