Just to prove I can
Just to prove I can rhyme

Images upon my screen 
dance in pink and tangerine 
I often wonder what they mean 
(they leave no message to be seen)
and now the swing in gold and green! 
Noises spinning through my head 
black and yellow, tinged with red 
tried for peace and got instead 
swill for water, dust for bread 
I?m leaving all my hopes for dead 
Night dreams spinning through my mind 
sleep is quiet, sleep is kind 
but even in my dreams i find 
I still repeat the same old grind 
even here, I'm left behind 
Dancing through the day-to-day 
I can't believe the price I pay 
it seems to me I have no say 
don't even have the faith to pray 
But I keep trying, anyway
Damn. . .
