An island lets itself go.
In rising  water finds a friend;
The past comes to naught.

I've seen his sponsored post on Facebook,
and doesn't he look fine
but he's not fooling me because he's
overstepped the line.
The mark of shame is on you David for you the sun won't shine,yes I saw your sponsored post on Facebook,I'm surprised
you had the time.
You lot are a dying breed,sitting high upon the hog while others snuffle in the dirt and are in desperate need,the word I use is swine though I must admit the little ****,
most certainly looks fine.

We chase a thing all our lives,
Hopes and dreams like butterflies,
Elusive thing we're not quite sure,
We're often close and then demure.

Sometimes we think this thing's gone by
We turn around and soft a sigh,
Send me back, we plead and cry,
Life laughs and whispers, wave goodbye.

So what to do when lost again,
A lover lies, a friend unfriends,
The gift of us by all ignored,
Our love becomes a thing we hoard.

When everything is upside down,
You feel about to quit and drown,
It helps to know we're much the same,
You're not alone, all hold this pain.

Are you getting the treatment
you were meant to get?
it's a fair bet that you're not.

liars and crooks that cook the books
and tell you they're paying you more
and all that you are,
is a minimum wage *****,
selling yourself short.

I could tell 'em to shove
but
those weirdos would love it
and we wouldn't want that,
would we
sweetie?

Why do I need a reason to pay for your drink at a drink stand?
Yes, I understand that your name is unknown to me.
Yes I understand that I'm not going to see you in my home tomorrow night.
And yes, I understand that you're not my responsibility.

Why does my wanting of a smile during the autumn months need a catalyst that has been known to me for years before this season?
Why does the rain fall so heavily on the trees and plants that are begging for it's sustenance?

Don't feel bad or guilty that I'm not getting anything out of this transaction.
For you it means nothing, and to me, that's why it means everything.
Don't you understand that your lack of faith is what makes my kindness more worthwhile?

And before you start thinking that I'm doing it for the challenge of making Ebenezer smile near Christmas, I need to tell you that's not the reason.
It's the reward.

You keep shouting about how offended you are by my gesture, and by all means you have that right. I appreciate your standing up for what you believe and hold true. But at the end of the night, I want you to know that I understand how insignificant I (with my useless money) am.

I don't know you, and you probably wouldn't let me anyways.
So here's to being unfriends.
Now we know each other.
"Have a good night."
