So little in return;
Just to eat and pay the rent;
Life isn’t ours to burn.

Some of us are warriers
Who battle every day;
Some choose to be the nurturers
To find us where we lay.

Some live street and gutter lives;
Dining on the crumbs.
Surviving as each day arrives;
Dealing with what comes.

Most will join the masses;
Conform to their design;
Take their thirty lashes;
Endure the daily grind.

You may depend on knowledge;
While others live on guile;
Gutter smarts or college;
Survival has no style.

Some are born with all they need;
Some never find their niche.
Success depends on what we want;
And how we scratch that itch;

I wish there was an answer;
No matter what our plans;
No dance fits every dancer;
We dance as best we can. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 21 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

No Grand Scheme

So much effort spent;
So little in return;
Just to eat and pay the rent;
Life isn’t ours to burn.

Some of us are warriers
Who battle every day;
Some choose to be the nurturers
To find us where we lay.

Some live street and gutter lives;
Dining on the crumbs.
Surviving as each day arrives;
Dealing with what comes.

Most will join the masses;
Conform to their design;
Take their thirty lashes;
Endure the daily grind.

You may depend on knowledge;
While others live on guile;
Gutter smarts or college;
Survival has no style.

Some are born with all they need;
Some never find their niche.
Success depends on what we want;
And how we scratch that itch;

I wish there was an answer;
No matter what our plans;
No dance fits every dancer;
We dance as best we can.

why do I know not know this lament?
why do we all suggest this
commonality, yet there it is,
comedy, drama, invention,
roads, factories, children being
taught, and writers, the gifted writers
like you!
oh why

Thanks again,S!
Peace!
