Them that’s got shall have……
All the riches that this world has to offer but what is it if your family is torn apart by bitter lies of a drug addiction gone wrong cause you thought that buying yourself everything could bring happiness? What a foolish thought. If the worldly goods of this place could buy happiness then your daughter would not be selling herself on the corner for a dime trying to buy a nickel bag of that sweet sensation that can release her from the pain of having a father with two or three flings on the side while her mother sits idly by watching from the sidelines as she finds her soul in the bottom of Jack’s bottle but still wearing the neatly coifed evidence of her spa day trying to wash all of her pain away……
Them that’s not shall lose…
Everything that they have trying to stay on top of the game by portraying themselves as everyday Joes scrimping and saving every dollar that they have to their name trying to rise to the top and claim the fame of a broken dream and promise that Uncle Sam said was within reach..Trying to claim their 4o acres and a mule only to be left holding a handful of dreams deferred and an armful of loneliness Praying everyday that this day will be their last day of hopelessness a prayer prayed for so long….the American dream..turned nightmare…something has gone horribly wrong…
So the bible says and it still is news…..
Because you cannot, no matter how strong your faith may seem, lure the devil into your world while trying to maintain. You cannot shield yourself behind the book of instruction while slowly self destructing from the obsession of lusting no matter how hard you try.
Mama may have
Thought that the world was a safer place for her child while inside she is slowly dying because she lost herself in the hopes of a better tomorrow
Papa may have….
Been a rolling stone but he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and he is trying his best to atone
But God bless the child that’s got his own…
Beliefs, afflictions, determination and direction trying to run from the skeletons of the past but they firmly grasp the metamorphic world of the happy family
Hmm, just some food for thought…no particular order…just random things that came to mind. Way too much going thru this brain of mine tonight....hahaha...working on a new topic that centers around the broken family.....it is coming to me slowly but surely...stay tuned.
