Strings of Truth (poem)

T'is like playing cards
Rice, rice, rice
Curry, curry, curry
Then beans, beans, beans
To pack in three sets
Then pick a set,
A bottle in another
Check the doors
And hurry, hurry, hurry.

The same routine
Day after day
Stings my nerves
Ends my romance
With life.

It's time to rebel
I think
But can't.
Commitment and debt
Push the wheels
On and on.

Thus engrossed
I nearly stepped
O'er a woman
Lying
Dead or alive
I couldn't tell
Flies covered
Her face and body.
Her back exposed
She lay in a puddle
Perhaps
 Let out unknowingly.

Like others
I too passed by (doing nothing)
Stung by the truth:
I have home, health and family.
