La Vie Boheme

We try to write

And dance and sing

And other silly

Creative things.

Getting nowhere

Slowly die

Erode our souls

Sell out and lie.

Magnum opus

Left half done

Can't afford to

Have much fun.

I'm over dramatic

But our lives are real

Working, *******

To borrow or steal?

We wait for a chance

But in the meantime

We watch the rain

And drink wine.
