Frenemies For Life
As far back as I can remember
we have had to chicken scratch
hissing, throwing a few punches
biting, pinching, scrimping and saving
our way to fight the good fight
trying to overcome poverty’s
blight thrust upon us
but try as we may
try as we might
it eludes us no matter how hard
the punch is thrown in this fight
the repeat lessons we have learned
surely this road we have outgrown
but so far, no such luck
for it has strangely become
now the best of friends
we have ever known.
this poverty level of life
we just cannot rise above
an enemy claiming friendship
owning us for the efforts
we have sown…
