Occupation
By james a. galgano

Painting on the wind in escaping shadows dim light.
The rainbows color within struggle to escape another night.
The canvas of your life is filled with life all one might
Its struggles, failures victories defeat unending plight.

Lawn mower struggles over grass almost a yard high.
Everyday and night the same routines working to get by
With bills streaming into infinity messages threatening, you to pay.
That cloud following overhead casting shadow everyway.

Wondering upon the toilet of another unwelcome life
Where agony is a willing friend to be your guiding light
That canvas may never change yet as the wind sneaks silently away.
Your daily reflection shows a different story with each passing day.
