UNDER ONE ROOF

Prescribed human motion

Changes with the wind

Woman’s sweet devotion

Lingers with her men.

Love is for the richer

And it’s costing more

Its crude and not the top

That is soiling all our shores.

Rungs on the ladder

Once stairways to success

Now they’re clung to tightly

‘Cause the market is your guess.

Holes in the canopy

We’ll be blinded by the sun

Sex thrills, shills and kills me

Yet commitment I have shunned.

Brother greets brother

And we’ve come in from the cold

Where’s the life support system

For our mother who’s growing old.
