Roach’s!

Down to the roach again! I’ll light the next I suppose.
The only thing that stops me wilting! Like, water to a rose!

The Sound of crackling as it smoulders, and lava rolling down the wrap! Lifting the mind off the shoulders, just enough to escape the wrath!

The ‘content’ ones say “that’s the problem, that weed”!
I say No, that’s “ignorance & Greed“!
They say “why are you down; you have everything you need”!
I say “yeah, But at the cost to the millions YET to be freed”!

I agree I’ve been fortunate! Good parents, food plentiful and all that! And I agree, I’ve taken things for granted, which others never had!
But, I was also honest and caring; so others always took the piss!
Along the way I’ve lost everything; now, only my pet to miss!
But in truth, I just don’t want this! I wish for bliss within the abyss!

So, ‘one after the next’ it goes, fading away as each & every glows!
Hoping that each in or out will be the one that sparks me out! For good! ...or just for now! As long as it’s time out, from this false systemic vow!
