Homelust


I look and see the people scrambling around me Envying the joy and laughter they express The ignorant business man that stalks by angers me He doesn't even realize how good he has it I stand pleading for help to save my kids, my life My wife Everyone sees me, but no one hears me Not caring about the beggar I've come to be I'm driven to my past Successful I was until it was ripped out from under me I searched for jobs to end this poverty But my desire was over taken with hopelessness Now I scrounge and search to build up the one thing missing Lusting the blessings of the people surrounding me
