Wealth  Wealth  wealth
And the constant Need for it , I could have it all , all that it gives, but place me in an empty room within my mansion of greed filled dreams,
I am still left unfulfilled
With the same inner thoughts
With nothing
Much changed

You write your whole soul on a
piece of paper , only to discard it in the bin moments later , move on try again   open your innermost thoughts trying to  get it down .
This whole process can leave you bare and empty
Emotionally drained , spent , struggling for rent
Food and the
Essential
Substances
That push the pen

You
I miss the summer freckles on your face , your chorus like voice
Upped
My pace .
The scent you gave off, when you  graced my place ,
I'll be forever waiting
For these days again .
Memories are just a part of time , but our Memories
Keep me in line .
The freckles on your face , the scent that still won't fade,
Just about keeps me by your side

It really was the most unpleasant of days,  my close friend had had enough.  Well he hadn't but his body called time up . It was winter 96 , he had no family as such just the bums the port wine eternity the poor ladies of the night .
The paupers funeral was attended by very few , the cold that day probably took a few more empty souls . I stood front and centre said my final goodbyes then proceeded to the nearest liquor store bought an quart of white port an eighth the cheapest whisky and indulged my sorrows on the coldest of that empty winters day

Soon I'll be dead and rotting in the ground or Ash that was once there on  well kept swept forgotten floors.
When I say
Soon I don't mean literally , heavens above,  you ain't getting rid of me .
Stooge like relics preaching propaganda ,  wave my wish like wand and calm ya .
Carry my banner
With nothing exclusive
On
It
The day to day is
All
I request
From it
