A day of shining sun, a day of new beginnings--- each day of hopes in the world where hope has long been replaced with a paralyzing fear and gripping lies.

A day of shining sun, a day of new beginnings--- each day of hopes in the world where hope has long been replaced with a paralyzing fear and gripping lies.  Don’t tell me, don’t feed me lies…Words like a splash of falling pennies into a beggar’s hands.  Worthless-carrying no real value… Can he buy a meal with only 7 pennies thrown his way?  Can he get warm with 7 yellowish worn out pennies exchanged so many hands and now in the beggar’s lap?  Charity --- more like a slap one someone’s face.  Please, don’t feed me lies.  Leaning and with a huge smile on his face, a smile of bright hope—the beggar is looking for a quick fix… Extending his laps, he looks at you with a childish smile, a big grin on his face---a meal, warmness await him tonight… A vagabond of life---each day is ever changing line of stock market--- up and down – there is no set path they say…

Coins are starting to fall his way.  A string of yellow color--- a smile replaced with a confusing look… Is that all he is getting tonight?  Walking away, you look back--- the beggar’s condemning eyes, a smile replaced with a twisting look… Please, don’t give me excuses, don’t feed me lies.  High ideals mixed with black lies.  Actions perked up with covering lies.  Saving the world—maybe you need to be saved too and be among us, the ones you’re trying to save. Clean up your closets first.  Be real for once rather than throwing worthless pennies the beggar’s way.  It won’t buy him meal. It won’t keep him warm.  So, why all this pretense, why attach high ideals in a dirty business like that?… Say it,,, say you’re just like us and there is no universal truth—just money…The never ending lust for gold, the never ending lust for fame. 

The sun is rising for another day of hope, another day of disheveling despair for some… We all are lining up to get a share of our coins… The only question, will there be enough?
