Used & Discarded


Disregarded, no thanks. I no longer fall for the pranks. I withdraw my cash from the bank. On a scale of one to ten how do I rank? Poverty stenches & stank. Stale & untrusted. Broken, abandoned, & undusted. Defeated, hobbled, & now rusted. Felonies & misdeameanors busted. Lawbreakers, corruded & crusted. Marry a man with a job & a van. Who does all that he can. My secret wish on a shooting star. To stop getting drunk at the bar. A walk to his momma's house isn't far. Work ethics get my kiss. Employment was my wish. Success is our bliss. Like jawbreakers dangerous & senseless. Civilization settlers & makers. Pioneers, homemakers, waiters, bakers, & Quakers. The towns folk are usually broke. Different walks of life is no joke. Occupations & professions of a wife. © Harmony Sapphire . All rights reserved
