Monitary deluisons,
capitol gain,
$ 700 is the price of my sanity
(as everything here has a price)
even freedom isn't free...
Needing something I despise,
just to survive
when will my next meal come?
How much longer will I have electricity?
I can't sleep
thoughts plagued with that of money
(or the lack there of)
the half tank of gas won't last
another 8 days till i get paid
when the cycle starts again
rationing things I should enjoy
going without the basics
i'm sick and can't see a doctor
and god damn it i need a cigarette!
but i cant afford a pack
when my stomach aches
and the cats are crying to be fed
and 'parents' turn there backs
needing something I DESPISE
just to survive
the thing i hate most in this world
is the thing that i can't live without
busting my ass for a few measly dollars
that are gone once the bills are paid
not even making it paycheck to paycheck
and still searching for a second job
--i've become what i hate--
a slave to the machine
