What?


What harbors true joy?
What instructs true wisdom?
What wages true peace?

“Money isn’t dirty, just people.” – Kim Novak. “The Pushover”

What if you could not tell where safety lies
Down Cincinnati streets after a rain,
Its stinking pigs, a madness in disguise,
As darkness pools into a satin stain.

What if your trust were suddenly betrayed,
By women, work, and God gone down the drain,
No roof over your head, a live grenade
Now scrounging for a meal from the insane.

What if the comfort that you always thought
Would ease your final days was false, and good
A bill of sales that proved how you were bought
And sold before you even knew you would

Be tossed into a common grave along
This city where you no longer belong.
