I can't get lost in space

losing sight of the road

up ahead speed is not

an option I'll get there

when I get there go on

without me if you must

I'm not in a hurry to scurry

got luggage a lot of bags

to carry things I couldn't

leave behind too hard to

find this address on GPS

so I can get to the right

house the white house

trimmed in gold with the

big picture window like

the one I threw a rock

through when I was ten years

old that was long time ago

holding the seat of my pants

promising I'll never do

it again remember when

how can I forget still

feeling the hits from a

the twist of a braided

up switch almost there

I see the bright skyline

whoever said this city is

pretty wasn't speaking of

tent city homelessness

ain't no joke so many

people a day away from

sleeping in snow

I know too well about

how it feels nowhere to

go wishing I had bills

in a mailbox car parked

in a garage sit my trash

on the side of the road

this how you know you're

better off then some folk

more than you know

the thoughts so humbling

content to be struggling

to keep a roof overhead

instead of fighting for

survival under a bridge

Yes Sir. It is so ironic that so few have yet to relaize the other trials and tribulations that come with "...struggling to keep a roof overhead[...]instead of fighting for survival under a bridge." 99.9 0.1 = WE ALL STRUGGLING TOGETHER...MY PEOPLE! Thanks Poet Wize for sharing this 09/30/2019 anthology. Peace and Love, mlowe5
