I thought it an err in his judgement
And saw the will as a punishment
I’m his only heir
Just wasn’t fair
When his cats received somuchofit.
Thought my tenable funds base
And my “calling” as a disgrace
Even said so right to my face
But fans love me playing the bass.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — March 1st
I’m elusive and sweaty
Handed off here and there
Hands grab at me always
Hoping for a score there
Pushing, elbows, fingernails sharp
Fake falls and splats while coaches harp
Refs unbiased should be the case
Not found in a high school race
Parents and friends loud and obnoxious
Sometimes their words are too toxic
But in the end
Lose or win
They can’t do it without me.

A house, a home, so many wanting and needing one and so few of the wealthy try to help with this problem. Buildings are constantly being torn down in poor neighborhoods and then replaced by areas for the wealthy. Where are the ousted persons supposed to go?
Proponents would rather go into politics with other like minded individuals and complain about the homeless instead of finding remedies for the situation. It’s one of those “walk a mile in my shoes” situations where the divide is so great it can’t be crossed. Or can it?
Many of these politicians and their followers are quick to spout their religious beliefs and then act in a totally opposite manner—the basic tenet of all religions: love your fellow man/do unto others etc.
We can all probably agree this is the ideal and if you decide to loudly decree the tenet, why then, act differently? I think they are hiding their true intentions and only want more wealth and more power.
