Can I Get a Witness?
by LateNiteFantasy©
Ain’t the way it’s s’posed t’ be
This sin sick world of lust and greed
It takes and takes, never giving back
But for agony and grief
Left to long for relief
It punctures and drains
(Like the nocturnal beast)
Of life, of love, of pleasure, of peace
On occasion it delivers, if fate allows
A miserly crumb, a strained handout
When with outstretched hand
You’ve come to borrow
Beware the return of your debtor
With interest tomorrow
